Contrary to long-held assumptions, the black/brown particles produced during silver electrolysis are silver hydroxide. These show up as Tyndall effect, coat the electrodes with a soft black/brown powder, and give the characteristic yellow tint to cs. Silver hydroxide is inert and insoluble. It has no biological value. Please see http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m79117.html http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m78851.html Thus, the only component in cs that has any value is the ions. The higher the ion content, the better it works. Mike Monett -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
