Electrically charged particles of silver are silver ions. Apparently there are colloidal silvers that have in addition to ionic silver, other silver particles, perhaps former ions that lost their charge???
This would be difficult to measure using a meter that measures ions only. Doing the ppm test for $20 at a local lab once in a while (or at least once) is a good idea. One of the men who attended my Lyme support gr. meeting made his own generator last week. By Friday he had already got his sample ppm results back-- a whopping 39 ppm! He knows he can dilute this. I hope it helps him as much as it helped me. The web reference recently posted (the one with all the uses for CS) was interesting in that it pointed out different results depending on the ppm. Most noteworthy was that more ppm was not necessarily better. However, these tests would need to be repeated in order to "prove" anything at all about CS. Someone asked me a tough question once, about how I knew God was active in a particular church. I responded, "Changed lives!" The same goes for CS; how do I know it's working? It's changed my life. Now my Dad even wants to use it for his arthritis which may be from earlier Lyme disease. It's taken me months and months to convince him & my mom that they are likely suffering Lyme. I got them to go to a seminar a week ago by a reknowned doctor/researcher. They finally "saw the light" regarding their own conditions.
