it looks good to me, a fairly new neophyte, but wipe the wires after 25-30 minutes, and quit after about 45 minutes. put the jar in a good, dark, cupboard. check it the next day, or the day after. if it is a very pale yaller, like your peein in the john, after about 7 butt lites, you have a good batch. - Original Message - From: "Rich Adams" To: Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2001 10:02 PM Subject: CS>comments > Hi, I am new at this and request your comments as to "what's wrong with > this" from you experienced CS makers. > > 3 new 9V batteries snapped together to form 27V. > 12GA . silver wire > local drugstore distilled water > > > I suspended the 6" electrodes 1" or so apart using a small mouth 32oz > canning jar.

CS>Unidentified subject!
I am new at making cs and need some information please. I found the following test on the internet and conducted it. on the first test with the hydrogen peroxide I had no bubbles which was what I think was good for me. The second part has confused me though. I added the grains of salt to the baggy of silver colloid. it did turn cloudy immediately. In one baggy that I prepared I found small black flakes of something after a few hours. the other baggy had the beginnings of something small and clear. what has me confused is the last sentence. It states that their (clear crystals of silver chloride) would indicate there were no free ions of silver. Does this mean that I should have the crystals and this proves that I have made a good batch of colloidal silver? Do I want free ions of silver? Please help me. My batch was made with no salts or starter. thank you for your help Connie SIMPLE HOME TESTS YOU CAN DO: If you wish to make one of the most important tests of Cs, you can easily do it at home! The best product contains no metallic silver and a very simple test for metallic silver is to add some hydrogen peroxide to the Cs. For a valid test, pour a few spoons of your Cs into a new clean plastic bag and add about half a spoon of H2O2 to it. Twist the bag, to expell most of the air and use a paper clip to hold the twisted area. Lay it where it will not be disturbed and look for bubbles after a few hours! If any, you have very poor product! If metal free, there will be none even after 24 hours! Metallic silver is a catalyst for breaking down H2O2 into water and oxygen gas, while silver ions have no effect! The absence of bubbles necessitates another test, to check for silver ions, as you could have only silver salts, which are almost useless! To test for ions, you can add a few grains of table salt to the baggy of silver colloid. If you had ions the Cs will turn slightly cloudy in a few minutes. As a comparison, add some of your colloidal silver to another baggy as it may be hard to see the slightly cloudy effect without a comparison sample. In a few hours (or a day) you will see clear crystals of silver chloride on the bottom, while their absence would indicate there were no free ions of silver! -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

Re: CS>comments
Rich it looks to me that your generating process is occuring way too fast. most likely it's the "distilled" water, or else you had some other residue in the jar. try rinsing it out with hydrogen peroxide and then rinsing it thoroughly (3 or 4 ) times with the distilled water, then do the generating again spacing your electrodes 2 inches apart, exactly opposite each other. In my experience heating the water will speed the generating up somewhat but not as quickly as "within 5 minutes". for 32 ozs of water it should take at least 30 minutes to an hour before you see anything other than a very few "bubbles" on the negative electrode hope this tides you over 'till more experienced folks send their comments.

Dear Judith, I just had to go outside to look at my Poinsettia, planted in the yard several years ago and cut back each spring. It sure has red leaves on the tops of each stalk. Nothing artificial, except perhaps the streetlight across the street, but I don't think it qualifies to lengthen the day for my plant. I have also had some experience with houseplants that die very quickly after buying at a discount place. Pull out the stem of the plant and look at the roots!

CS>MSM revisited
Dear Group, One of the aspartame lists had folks asking for anything they could take for relief from chronic pain - so I *daringly* suggested taking MSM - I knew some would come down on me like a ton [tonne for the metric] of bricks. I've had fantastic relief from using it and we all know that Brooks got us started on it - here's the replies I got. My response was that Dr Sandra Cabot [an Australian doctor who lectures in America & is anti aspartame] puts her name to MSM in Oz and I didn't think she would put her name to anything dubious. She is known as the Liver Doctor and promotes liver health through herbal products. Judith. Message: 1 Anyone with any kind of chemical injury needs to be aware of the fact that most chemicals and especially pesticides and the solvents they are based in use the same detox pathways as sulfur, of which MSM is a derivative. If your detox pathways are damaged from chemical exposure you will not be able to tolerate MSM and can in fact worsen your condition by taking it. Learned the hard way Message: 2 Thanks for that , I asked this question on or about August 7th this year, I never did get a "scientific" answer, but when I stopped taking MSM things began to get better. I then had problems with the methyl cellulose used in most over the counter drugs, being aware of that and the fact that my blood brain barrier was thoroughly screwed up by aspartame poisoning help a great deal. I am taking 250mg of Magnesium per day, this seems to repair things a little and I am becoming more tolerant. I will ask this question again, and I hope that the scientifically trained among you may provide an answer. Many people are using MSM 'Sulphur from Methyl sulphonyl Methane!' Could somebody, who is ultra sensitive to aspartame poisoning, be affected by ingesting MSM? Can anybody with a scientific background tell me if this is related to the methanol that makes up aspartame? I enclose 2 extracts from the www, they both state that methanol is used in the manufacture of methane. The first quote state that 'formaldehyde' is present in the raw material. To the layman, it seems as if there is a correlation there somewhere! http://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/chemweek/methane/methane.html "In the chemical industry, methane is a raw material for the manufacture of methanol (CH3OH), formaldehyde (CH2O), nitromethane (CH3NO2), chloroform (CH3Cl), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), and some freons (compounds containing carbon and fluorine, and perhaps chlorine and hydrogen). The reactions of methane with chlorine and fluorine are triggered by light. When exposed to bright visible light, mixtures of methane with chlorine or fluorine react explosively. " http://www.nwhealthsolutions.com/methylsulfonylmethane.htm "Since all commercial MSM is produced from DMSO, and all commercial DMSO is produced synthetically, the origin of the DMSO is somewhat insignificant. DMSO is produced using several starting materials: (1) Kraft black liquor, a by-product of paper pulp mills; (2) methanol and hydrogen sulfide, or (3) methanol and carbon disulfide. Whichever starting materials are used, chemical reactions are required to produce DMSO. Each process has its advantages and disadvantages, but the resulting DMSO is the same. The origin of the DMSO is not important in the production of food grade MSM, provided it meets certain quality standards. There are a number of DMSO plants located throughout the world that produce an excellent quality product suitable for food grade MSM production." Message: 3 Commercial MSM is not Natural as in Raw Foods NATURAL MSM is present ONLY in RAW FOODS. When they are processed/heatedMSM is destroyed just as ENZYMES and Vitamin B6 are destroyed by heat. Lots of fresh raw vegetables and fruits can supply adequate MSM...one reason we see people who eat raw foods look so healthy and BE very healthy. I have some MSM here that I did take from my dad in case I ever need it for a SOAK of some sort..but I DO NOT PLAN to take it by mouth. My dad did take it...and I feel the artificial MSM (made in a lab) and Melatonin did nothing to help him heal or sleep better. He died in June of 1999. My dad was not taking MSM because he took Aspartame longterm. He had ONLY one bad experience with a very concentrated dose of Aspartame from mixing a whole pack of lemonade powder in a large tumber instead of in a 1/2 gallon pitcher of water. He drank that concentrated Aspartame drink...and became gravely ill at work that day. I do know that he experienced what I feel was petit mal seizures after that toxic intake...and also some "floaters" as he described with his vision. I did stop my dad from taking ANY COLOR packet of sweetener when he took coffee at McDonald's or at Waffle House...but overall...detoxing off Aspartame was NOT his reason for taking MSM. He was in a wreck many years ago...and had an injury in the stern
CS>Re: Poisettia & CS
Thanks for your reply Bob. I make my cs with a Spartan 9KV-30 MA HVAC generator from Utopoia Silver. I have added a stirring device powered by adapter. I have 4-12 qauge rods of . silver 2 inches in the water. Water measures 1 ppm at start, I run a 2 gal batch for 10hrs. That gives me a very strong tyndal effect, but reads only 4 ppm. I then pull the rods out of the water approx 1/4 inch and arc into the water for approx 1/2 an hour to bring the ionic content up to approx 10 ppm. (just to satisfy those who insist on at least 10 ppm) I estimate this to be 75% ioniv and 25% particle. The batch used on the poisettia had been run a bit longer on arc and measured 14 ppm. I do not use any covering on the 7 inch opening of the jug. This is the first time I have heard of producing a NO 3 nitric acid with the arc. If you can test it for nitric acid I would like to send you a sample to test. I have experimented using the arc only, and have made it as strong as 1200 ppm with zero tyndal effect. I have never used this product, but it would be interesting to know if it had a nitric acid component. I sent some samples to Frank Key for testing in May 2001, they had run for 5 hrs, but no arcing The ppm measured 3.29 total, 2.08 ppm ionic, 1.21 ppm particle . In order to get a higher percentage particles I then doubled the run time, and then topped it off with the arc thinking that the arc was adding pure ionic silver to the particles. I usually monitor the current and it starts at about 17ma and ends 25-27 ma. Please advise what you make of this. Dave Hi Dave, How do you make your HVAC??? If it is make by the arc method with an air blanket then you have a good sized ppm of NO3 !!! that is part of nitric acid. My HVAC ARC CSmade with a CO2 blanket will have no more and 0.0 to 2.0 ppm of NO3. I have seen some made in ait with 27 ppm of NO3, and that is disaster. Since Dr Bill Bagioli and my self developed the HVAC ARC method, please tell me exacly what you are doing. It can be great stuff with 98+% ionic silver or a real disaster. "Ole Bob"

Re: CS>Simple CS brewing
Simplest thing in the world. Don't shake the cs. Pour off the clear liquid to another container. Stop soon enough to leave the solids in the first container. You'll waste a little cs, but who cares? You're making it! Rinse the manufacturing container. Do not use detergent or soap or you'll be sorry when you make the next batch.

Re: CS>Simple CS brewing
Leo, Some people get flaky build-up on one of the electrodes that sometimes falls off into the CS. There are those that "strain" to eliminate the "grey stuff" from their stored product. The problem with this, is that the filtering material introduces contaminates of their own (verified by before and after PWT measurements). This doesn't "ruin" the CS, but does make it impossible to verify the strength of the brew for those who manufacture to sell. It would be better to decant instead of filter.

Re: CS>Simple CS brewing -- CAUTION
Greetings folks, We can NEVER afford to ignore the diverse experience levels we have on the list when giving advice. Note the following exchange: Terry writes: > ... Hang two silver wires down into the jar, on opposite sides of the > jar (mine are 9" long). Hook up 110-120 VDC to the silver wires. Let > brew for 60 minutes. Wipe off the wires, strain the CS (I use coffee > filters). Use one quart of this CS as starter for the next batch. Leo replies: > What do you mean by hooking up 110-120 VDC? Leo is asking the questions that he should be! 110 Volts Direct Current is *plenty* high enough to be lethal depending on the type of power supply used and the myriad conditions that people might be working under. DON'T MESS WITH HIGH VOLTAGE unless you have the knowledge and experience to do so safely. In the above instructions, it is vital that you TURN OFF THE POWER before wiping off the wires. Don't let the wires touch each other while power is on. Don't touch the wires or any part of the apparatus while power is on. Make certain the power supply is properly grounded and fused. Keep children and pets away. ... etcetera!!! Yes, the method is simple, and simple methods do work. However, if there's a chance that something can go wrong, it's wise to assume that it will and include appropriate cautions and disclaimers. Simple battery circuits with up to 30 or 40 volts and low current capacity are a whole lot safer to deal with if you're a newcomer to working with electricity. The good news is, they also work. Be careful out there, my friends.

Re: CS>CS: Bettas
> Can one put CS in with our Beta? We've had it for 8 months! Marsha's practice of putting CS in with water changes in her betta's 1 gallon tank seems worthwhile. The only caution I have relates to the type of filter system you have in your tank... If it's just a good sized jar with an air bubbler, some marbles or large gravel and a few plastic plants, then you'll need to do a partial water change at least weekly to get rid of the ammonia and other toxins that will build up from uneaten food and fish waste. Under these circumstances, regular CS administration *probably* won't hurt and may help. IF, however, you've got an under gravel filter, or an external filter of the type that is supposed to build up a bacterial population to act as a "biological filter", then there's a good chance your CS will kill the good bacteria and, quite likely, dangerously stress your fish! If you're using more natural substrates -- clay, sand, small gravel -- and real plants, there's a good chance they're host to a significant bacterial colony the death of which will foul the tank, also. You can always set up a good sized quarantine tank to treat a sick individual fish separately from your established tank. Just be sure it's big enough and that you carefully control conditions in it so the fish doesn't suffer too much stress. Be well, Mike D.

Re: CS>Filtering CS
Talking about filtering CS, I bought the unbleached coffee filters, the Melitta brand. When I used them to filter my CS, the CS got darker yellow in color. This happened several times so I stopped using those coffee filters as I then figured that the filters are not really unbleached but maybe colored brown to look unbleached and perhaps the coloring is leaching into the CS. It was then suggested by the manufacturer of my CS generator that I could use white cotton handkerchiefs to filter the CS. So now I am using cotton hankies. However, I am noticing that whenever I rinse out the hankies and hang them to dry, I notice a rust colored stain develops on the part that was in contact with the CS. Now I am wondering where this rust color is originating from. The manufacturer has no explanation for the rust color and says that the silver strips being used for the electrodes are 99.9 silver. Any way of testing the electrodes for purity? Also, I am beginning to wonder if the rust is coming from the metal covers that I am using for the quart size mason jars that I use to make and store the CS. Any ideas or comments on this subject is appreciated.

Re: CS>Lunar CS making
Kevin pleads... > Hey, is there anyone else on this list who thinks like I do - if there > is then ... add your voice please! Yup, I've seen the scientific method work. In fact, I've personally experienced how hard it can be to get some scientists to follow it rigorously! Then there's the politics and economics that come into play long before you need consider anything so esoteric as "psychic" or paranormal influence by the observer. That said, it still works better than mumbo-jumbo and magic in the hands of people without extraordinary talent. And the crucial aspect for us to remember in this whole discussion of Lunar influences, etc., is that THEY REALLY DON'T MATTER MUCH! Just as all the other wild fluctuations in concentration and particle size and ionic fraction in our uncontrolled processes don't render our CS ineffective, Lunar or other esoteric influences won't either. It's fun to contemplate all this other stuff, but don't forget that the simpler CS generating methods still work plenty well enough. I also ask that folks not strain the credulity of the newcomers by *too* much discussion of this stuff, since it really is not essential to their success learning to make and/or use CS and can cause them to dismiss us and CS as a bunch of idiocy. I'm a sympathetic skeptic, if there is such a thing. I *want* a lot of this stuff to be true, but I don't believe it until I can see proof and evidence of reproduceable results. I am, however, a lot less willing to dismiss things out of hand as I used to be! There's just too much that can't be explained.

Re: CS>Reasons for Newbie confusion on color
Most people say "yellow" because they don't know how to do better, even telling you to some degree how not to make the best..and selling second best as second best isn't exactly a sales promo. "Pale Yellow" isn't "bad" it's just maybe not the best. BUT, Making yellow CS does omit all doubt that 'something' was made and it's really easy. It's a big plus for a sales person for the consumer to be happy with something that's almost impossible to fail to make if it's not done just right. On the other hand, getting strong clear and colorless CS can be tricky sometimes. [A potential consumer/salesperson can-o-worms] But there's no question that a colorless CS is of a smaller overall particle size than yellowbut even yellow has a significant percentage of those same small particles along with the larger ones. Color [yellow] might just be a non issue. Just how big is too big? How many bigguns is too many? But it does seem a bit ignorant [or dishonest] to say that second best is best and a bit larger is smallest. It's a lot easier to back up a 'harmless'? ignorance than it is to set that ignorance straight with harder to use information.

A yellow colored colloidal silver can also be made with your generator by using distilled water without any saline solution. For best results, use no more than eight ounces of hot water in a tall narrow glass to put as much silver in the water as possible. Process time will be around 45 minutes because of the reduced conductivity of the water. Keep an eye on your solution. If you forget about it and go to the movies you will end up with a highly concentrated brown sludge. I do not recommend ingesting high concentrations undiluted.
