I have 3 questions with supportive comments; they are all somewhat related.
I. I know I need to use new silver wires (and I do have them); my colloidal silver is weak-tasting and ineffective for my Lyme symptoms unlike previously. They do not yield the same amt. of colloidal silver anymore. I can tell by the taste, and by the fact that my health is slipping (i.e., headaches now are all the time & more aches & neuro symptoms are creeping in), although I feel better taking the very weak silver than none at all. (My silver tested at 8.38 ppm in the past.) QUESTION: Do the wires get resistant to yielding the silver particles after many uses? Is there a recommended "life" to these wires? I don't understand is "why." I expected I could use these wires til they were "threadbare" or too fragile to handle. Yet they seem similar in diameter after dozens of uses and scrubs with my green Scotch pad. II. I did try heating the water as suggested recently (and also by Reid some time ago.) I yielded a wonderful deep amber solution only using distilled water, the silver wires & 25cc of previously made CS to get it started-- no food coloring! :) After 35 minutes processing, although colorful, it was weak on the metallic taste. (I used my old wires, the same ones I started with about a year ago.) QUESTION: After a couple days in an amber bottle (old peroxide bottle previously used for CS) the solution turned a rosy-amber color. I wonder why. III. My handy husband has the potential opportunity to examine (for the plan) a "Motherlode" generator that processes a quart of CS in 100 minutes, at 45 ppm (as well as other time/qty. variables). That's the range of strength recommended by some for Lyme disease; the range that has apparently cured someone with Lyme disease in my community. She hasn't taken any silver since last spring and is assymptomatic. I've always had slight symptoms here and there, and the recent relapse confirmed to me that the bacteria is still there but had been kept at bay at the lower dose. QUESTION: Many of you use different devices than I do. Does anyone have plans for a homemade generator that will yield results of 45 ppm in a quart of water after about 100 minutes processing, not requiring filtering? The best I got was 8.38 ppm in 350cc (60 minutes) with my simple generator (Two .999 silver wires attached to 24 volts AC to DC via alligator clips, supended in distilled water). Any longer a process & I'd have too much silver oxide to filter out and would have to "babysit" the generator to watch for bridging. I don't have the time to be processing the qty. and ppm I need with this device. I've seen a picture of the "Motherlode" Generator. It's housed in a large box big enough to set a 2 quart bowl on top of it. Brass arms suspend over it, one holding a silver wire about 1/4" above the water in the bowl, another holding a one ounce bar of silver in the water about an inch away from the wire. Apparently the process starts with a spark and a sputter of the water; CS can be added (up to 1/4 cup) to get the process going and thereby minimize or stop the sputtering. Apparently, no filtering is necessary. It produces a clear colloidal silver solution with obvious taste. I have the documentation on this device which sells for $389. Certainly my husband could make one for less. I suspect inside the box is simply the electrical connections. I suspect it uses 110 volts. We'll have to see what's inside the case to know for sure.
