There is a large gap between the paranoia and irrational fear you are
talking about Terry and what the rest of the list is addressing. Which
is good methodology and procedures.

There is no substitute for good methodologies and they are in and of
themselves worthy of pursuing.

I do not buy into your vision of all of those who are interested in
proper methodologies as fearful and paranoid.

And the fact that you have not seen blue people nor turned blue yourself
means nothing to those who simply want to do it right for the sake of
making a pure product. This is a worthy goal in and of itself.

The side benefit is that one can rest well knowing that one is consuming
no silver salts.

And yes minerals do interact outside of the process of electrolysis,
otherwise we would all be dead as they would not interact properly in
our bodies. Your heart would not be beating in your chest right now if
your assumptions were correct. Take a look at how a never impulse or
action potential is propagated in any good physiology text book.
