Pat: I wouldn't pay too much attention to this article. It has some good points, but the writers obviously aren't very experienced.
They contradict themselves; @ 20PPM with an electrolysis process, any solution with particles sized below 1 micron will be completely clear; a highly particulate colloidal silver @ 20 PPM, even with tiny particles, will not even be close to clear. So, stating that a silver @ 20PPM should be clear to light yellow is not correct. Further, the FDA does not certify silver products under any circumstances. There are no federal regulations concerning colloidal silver production, and there are no USP standards for production either. If the writer meant that it is advantageous to have an FDA-approved lab certify purity of the solution, proving that a silver product is pyrogen-free, etc., then this is certainly great.

Purity: High quality colloidal silver consists of pure water and 99.999% pharmaceutical grade silver. i found this at that same site I got that excerpt from about argyria. check out the site.
