Dear Jade, and All,
My generator instructions called for 10 inches of 14 gauge .999 fine
silver wire. With 4 inches submerged, you should get 1PPM per minute of
activation time using 8 ounces of distilled water, and some saline. From
a year`s usage and more reading, I learned to make mine with no saline,
using 2 cups of water, 16 ounces. I don`t let it touch the glass,
because it causes the silver to precipitate onto the glass in a pretty
fern shape. I`d rather have the silver in the water! I "cook" mine for
one hour, beginning to time it after I see golden "smoke" coming off one
wire. This should give 30 PPM. My solution is now always golden. With
the saline it is gray.
Until I can get some tested, I can`t really be sure of the PPM strength.
I do, however, know that what I make is working for me. It cured my 3rd
Stage Disseminated Lyme Disease (boy, don`t that sound nasty??!!) and I
have had NO urinary infections, which I used to get several times a
year. I have had 4 colds this last year, since May; they were very mild,
and were gone after 2-3 days.
So, though I am no expert, this is my experience. Hope it helps some.
Marsha, feelin` BETTER in Milwaukee!
PS, Jade, do you know the stone jade gets it`s name from the Spanish
word "Ijada "(pronounced eehada) meaning kidney? It was thought the
stone would cure kidney ailments...Just some facts from a rock hound and
lapidary.
