I have some nutritionist friends who might know. I'll try to remember
to ask. Wouldn't surprise me if Frank Key knows already, though, or
someone else lurking online. My guess is that it's measurable, and
that the information might clear up a lot of questions that have been
circulating on the list for years.

I recall thinking about this years ago...
If you made a liter of CS at 20 ppm, that would be 20 milligrams of
silver.
Now, can we measure a change of 20 milligrams on a 4" long piece of
silver wire? Maybe.
14 gauge wire is 1.628 millimeters diameter, 4" is about 100mm
pi x diameter x length = 1.628 x 3.1416 x 100 = 511 cubic millimeters
... which will be .511 cubic centimeters.
Density of silver is about 10.5 grams per cc:
.511 cc x 10.5 g/cc = 5.37 grams = 5370 milligrams
20 milligrams / 5370 milligrams = .00372 or .372 percent of the
electrode mass, dissolved into the water.
Now, we need a balance with a resolution of at most 1 milligram and a
maximum measurement range in excess of 6 grams...
I'm looking at a mettler ae100 that'll read up to 109 grams to the
nearest 0.1 milligrams... That'd do it. Don't know what it'd cost used.
Probably a few thousand.
Doable if you've got a decent balance. Your old triple beam probably
won't do it, though.
Please re-check my math to make sure I didn't drop some zeros anyplace!
