With silver being so sensitive to *any* contaminants, I would have thought it would show some colour change or something, if something had become contaminated within it. Would not the taste change? I gave some three year old silver (a bit cruddy) to someone who had never used it and was a

Nenah - you have made a very important point. While EIS is my 'ace', maybe I'm undoing what I'm trying to do. Actually, I don't have a clue what the cause of the itch is. The vet saying it is a yeast problem only makes sense if I'm killing too much internal bacteria with the EIS. Lisa -

You'd probably want to send it to a lab. Around three hundred dollars for true answers. I realize it isn't cheap (or even affordable for most of us). A good chemical analysis is not something an untrained person can do at home. People get degrees in chemistry, you know. :) As I've said before,

I'm glad the silver worked for your friend. See, reporting anecdotal evidence is fine. My difference with Ode is that he crossed a line, saying unchanged after five years, claiming he proved it with an EC meter and laser pointer. That is the very soul of speaking in absolutes. :) You and I may

So by that thinking, then are we all guilty on this list of giving EIS to others and telling them of its wonders? After all, if it can't be 'proved' does this mean to say that it can't be true? Even though we know categorically that is does work? dee Indi wrote: You'd probably want to

One Degree or 10, is not worth a nickle for arriving at the ppm of CS. That's very silly. CS is a physical substance, and there are known methods which are quite precise. And a Chemist cannot usually operate the huge combination of instruments used for some measurements,

Hi there Faith, I have both an EC/TDS blah blah meter and a, 'supposedly', ppm meter. The only reason I use any of them is cos I just don't trust the colour business as much as some form of instrument, and no matter how criticised they are. It seems the accepted thing is that slight colour
