Indeed, I have gotten a lot from your posts as well. Which brings me to a question I've been meaning to ask you about adding potassium hydroxide to colloidal silver to raise its pH if it's under 7.0. On your advice, I did manage to obtain some food grade potassium hydroxide. The strength was a bit more than I would have liked -- at 50%, it required only about 2 drops for an entire gallon of water -- and afterward, the pH read in the high 8s or early 9s. I put in the potassium hydroxide AFTER making the CS, because I was afraid that it somehow might interfere with the process of making it. In any case, the silver making was fine. I made it as I always do and there weren't any problems (like flaking, etc.) However, there is a taste to the fluid that was never there when I made CS in the past. Would you by any chance know what this is from? I'll be sending Bob a sample to analyze and will report what was found (if Bob doesn't report to the list first ;) But in the meantime, I thought maybe you might know why there is a different taste -- and if it's messing up the quality or effectiveness of the silver. I'm a little reluctant to use it until I know. Thanks as always. Nenah (and by the way, you don't have to call me "Dr." ;) I'll be sending some -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
