I agree with George 100%. It was Achmed that got me thinking that way. And then I observed two variables that were causing color change in my CS over days.
1. The CS stored in brown "malta" bottles (like beer bottles) in a cabinet sometimes left open by my kids or placed on my dresser for night & morning doses was changing color while the stuff in the VERY DARK blue bottle with a label covering most of the bottle anyway does not change color! 2. The stuff in the brown bottles sometimes pops the snap on lid and I don't realize it. This stuff also changes color quickly. The color has a range of change from yellow/amber to peachy pink to rosy pink to purple to clear with sediment on the bottom. I'm very curious about the discussion about PPM and the variables too. But I have to agree with Reid, if our particle size is out of the prefered range that is "argyria" safe, why aren't we all turning blue?
