I am stuck with guessing, at present -- like everyone else here.
However, that is completely beside the point I was trying to make. The
absence of hard data does not magically convert anecdotal evidence into
data. Some people certainly have been a bit touchy about that, but this
is not supposed to be an emotional issue -- it's a simple discussion of
what is known versus what is presumed, a distinction I originally
*presumed* we all were qualified to make (I do know better now, LOL).
The question is, do you calculate the ppm? You don't have to guess
much, and if you prefer, you can do the calculations for error
resolution too, then you know exactly how much guessing you are doing,
or as they say, "parameters of error fall within plus or minus X
percent" . If X percent is low, it is not much of a guess, if it is
high, then whoa, look out. Might as well throw mud at the wall.
Faradays Law describes the electrolysis very well. Distilled water for
laboratory use is the good enough for labs, so it is by definition good
enough for us. I do not take that for granted, I check the conductivity
of the water first anyway. Distilled water for lab use should have
nothing else in it except water, and it should not conduct any
electricity, so the EC reading should be zero. Mine usually is not
zero, but very close, within a few parts per billion. After it sits for
a while, the EC reading climbs a little, as the distilled water absorbs
some gases from the air. It is a very sensitive measurement for my type
of purpose.
My own experiments show that for me, consistently, the amount of silver
deposited in the water during electrolysis as calculated by Faraday's
Law is the same as the EC reading taken immediately in the water as it
is working.
All the hard science I learned is based on first observation, then
explored via calculations and experimentation. We are all of us here
doing our own science that is as good or better than most of what
passes in the medical field, what with all the abuses that occur there.
I am glad to hear that you are feeling benefit from your experiments.
Best Wishes,
Kathryn
