Anyone,
I have been reading that adding a small amount of 3% drugstore peroxide to
CS will reduce the particle size greatly and increase the benefits of the CS.
1. How much peroxide to how much CS?
## About 6 drops @ 3% per quart
2. What evidence is there that the particle size is reduced?

..Of course, if one of the products is a 2 atom silver molecule, there's no
microscope that can see one and a meter won't detect it either...nor do I
think a red laser will show it as TE being too small for visible
wavelengths of light. A UV laser might pick it up.
..a complicated time dependent affair with a few more logical steps to be
made as to what combinations of events actually causes the observed
effects. [possible gas emulsion as a factor in TE not included below]

How does H2O2 affect EIS
When H2O2 is added to EIS (one or two drops per glass of EIS), it will be
noted that there is an immediate clearing effect. The Tyndall (what you see
if you shine a laser pointer though the liquid) will become very faint as
well. If the ppm of the EIS is sufficiently high (25 to 30 ppm) a white
cloudy precipitate may form as well.
There are a number of reactions that occur. H2O2 is normally thought of as
an oxidizer, but it can act as a reducer as well. Also silver is considered
a catalyst for H2O2, but in actuality gets directly involved in the reactions.
The H2O2 reacts with the silver particles, producing ionic silver, a
combination of silver hydroxide and silver oxide. This makes the large
particles disappear, reducing the tyndall. However H2O2 also reacts with
the silver oxide and silver hydroxide producing a 2 atom colloid of silver
plus oxygen (and water in the case of silver hydroxide). Over time this 2
atom colloidal particle can end up being converted back to silver oxide and
silver hydroxide, and so forth. The final result is a mixture of ionic
silver (hydroxide and oxide) and very small colloidal particles. Thus if
you add H2O2 to freshly made EIS, you can sometimes see the oxygen bubble
off, and the tyndall may change significantly. But more importantly, the
particulate portion of the EIS will go from being medium or large particles
to many more very small particles, and the particle content will increase
from a typical 5-15% to around 30-50%. If you have a strong tyndall from
large particles, it will decrease, and if you have a weak or no tyndall it
will increase with the formation of the 2 atom particles. This enhances
absorption, as well as effectiveness. Note that it is recommended to let
the EIS sit for 5 or more minutes after adding the H2O2 to let it
stabilize. Also some experts recommend letting EIS age for 2 or more days
before adding the H2O2, and experiments by me indicate a more consistant
effect if this is done. For some images of the effect H2O2 has on silver
particles see <http://silverpuppy.com/csh2o2.html>Hydrogen Peroxide and
Colloidal Silver Micrographs
3. What evidence is there that it is more effective or beneficial?
## All a matter of opinion when MOST of the Silver is still in the form of
ions....can't..... get smaller than that.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
