Hi:

I have a commercial 10,000 volt AC System, with built in constants, that
consistently produces particles .001 - .007 , therefore the CS is colorless
but does display a Tyndal effect.  It is completely within the bioavailable
range.  About 1/10 of 1% of the particles do not charge and settle out in the
first few hours.  The remaining CS is stable for several months or more.
There is some ionization from arcing but it is minimal (in that the particles
do not dissolve but stay colloidal) as during the batch time, a cone is
present at both arc bars continually.  Because of the particle size a CS
weight of 10-12 ppm is a very effective and potent one.  I find that 1-3
ounces  orally per day for maintenance is ok for me but some people I supply
report that 1-3 teaspoons per day is just as effective.  As an explanation, I
have heard it said that past a certain point, more is not necessarily better
or more effective.  However, old ways die hard and I do triple up when I feel
ill. I use a nebulizer 1-3 times per dayfor five minutes if I detect a cough
or chest infection.  My wife uses 2-3 ounces of 10-12 ppm vaginally 2-3 days
in a row and it completely clears up periodic candidiasis and all the
symptoms.  

It is my understanding that some systems produce a larger particle size.  It
would seem that a larger dose or greater weight would be required for larger
particle sizes.  Also past a certain size, the safety of nebulization would be
questionable as particles too large to be bioavailable (> .015) may collect in
the lungs.
