Well.........yes. If I made a brew the color of what I bought the first thing I would think of is that it would be a less than desireable batch because of the dark tea color. Yet, it is called colloidial. From what I read here it would be true and I am making "ionic" as opposed to what I bought, which seems to be more particle.
"I want to put as much silver in the water as I can while limiting the silver particle size. When the silver particles reach a certain size, they begin to refract light, giving the water a light yellow color. As they continue to get bigger, the color darkens. As long as the water stays crystal clear, I know the silver particles are too small to be of any concern (argyria or whatever), so I stop brewing just before color occurs. With my own CS, thats about 15-20 ppm (according to Bob Berger), which is as strong as anyone needs, especially if the particles are very small. Remember, its not how much silver is ingested, but how small the silver particles are. Remember also, ppm is a measurement of TOTAL SILVER CONTENT, not how many silver particles are present. You could have one lump of silver the size of a BB in the bottom of a jar of water and still have 20 ppm. Some of the studies demonstrating dramatic silver efficacy were conducted using ppb (parts-per-billion). Its not how many particles of silver that is responsible for the efficacy of CS, its how small they are. "Peter M.

Today I bought a bottle of Natural Path Silver Wings which and the bottle says 250 pmm per teaspoon. TDS meter measured 120. It has a strong Tyndall, is the color of dark Tea with only the slightest metalic taste.. If I doubled the TDS reading I would get 240 pmm. "Peter M. Stellas" <stel...@foxinternet.net> wrote: I just received a bottle of CS from Meso silver (Colloids for life LLC), which is supposed to be 20 PPM, and 80% particles versus 20% ions. It has a light yellow-green hue, resembling the water that you get after boiling mustard greens. When tested with a Hanna PWT meter and a laser pen, it gave the following results: 1. PPM = 8.1 2. Tyndal effect = Very strong The CS that I have been producing measures up to 15 PPM, is clear, and has virtually no Tyndall effect. I have read that a good batch is supposed to be clear, but Mesos is colored, but without visible particles. Meso was rated as the top quality CS in a table which gave detailed comparison of the products of several vendors who sent it their samples for evaluation. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? How can I be measuring 15 PPM for my product and 8.1 PPM for Mesos. How can I have clear water at 15 PPM and Meso a colored water at 8.1 PPM? I must be missing something here. Peter P.S. In previous correspondence I mentioned using a PPM meter, when I really meant the Hannah PWT meter that I got from Silver-Gen.
