Hi Margaret: I use a Beck-directed machine, as well. I make a quart at a time. Please read Peter Lindemann's article at http://www.elixa.com/silver/lindmn.htm / this has some good information in it [whatever the controversy concerning its content]. I use distilled water and boil it in a glass Visions pot. I use a quart Mason jar with wide mouth and hang my rods from a hook above the jar into the boiled water. I make sure the rods are not touching the glass. I turn the machine on and leave it for 20-30 minutes. This consistently makes a slightly amber colored cs. I have never had the ppm tested, but I understand, and dowse it to be between 7 and 10 in the manner that I make it.
Just for you, and this list to know, I have had a very clear reaction to colloidal silver. I have been making and using it for a year now. At first I was taking quite a lot--8 oz./day maybe, and it was the milky type, and I used a saline solution in the water, and it was tap water. I don't know how long after I started using it this happened, but I became emotionally volatile--willing to snap or be harsh at people, especially at work. I am not ususally this way, and I didn't know what was up. Eventually I slacked off on using the cs, and began just swishing it in my mouth and spitting it out, as well as using it on my skin. These symptoms abated, and disappeared altogether. It was about 2 months ago that I made a fresh batch of cs in the method mentioned above. I drank about 2 ounces of this stuff. I went to work--something came up, and I felt a raging inside. It was a clear reaction to me--a direct homeopathic "proving." If you have the opportunity, take a look at a homeopathic Materia Medica. Look for argentum; read the symptoms listed. These are symptoms written down by healthy people who had taken the substance -- called a "proving." This gives you the very best picture of what taking silver, or exposure to silver CAN do in the person that doesn't need it, or doesn't need the quantity that they're getting. Homeopathy works like this: Like cures like. Administration of a substance to a healthy person that creates a certain set of symptoms will CURE the person that has those similar symptoms. At any rate--good luck. I think colloidal silver is a wonderful thing, and I am glad we live in a time when we can have good healing substances available to us with just a little effort.
