As far as I know there is no absolute correlation between the three. There are a number of us working to come up with this, but adequate test instrumentation is EXPENSIVE. > I have read different recommendations as to what is a desirable > concentration (ppm) for internal use.

About the only consensus I feel confident about reporting is that as long as you are using .999 fine silver it is hard to make something harmful from all I can gather. My personal opinion is that most anything you make will probably be useful, lots of folks making it many ways and a lot of testimonials. As for myself, I won't be happy until I have conclusive scientific data to both prove and back it up :). If you are interested, I am posting my research on my web page for others to share, comment on, correct, praise, vilify or whatever :-). It may be useful or it may not be, I am not convinced as of yet, bluntly, do not have "reliable data to correlate anything to a standardize value". The CS section of the web site is still in the process of stabilizing itself, the EDRs are still changing, looking for the easiest and most effective way to get the data up there :). All these posted so far, beyond the process log section should *NOT* be taken as the last word as I have found some computational errors that I am in the process of resolving. All that said, if nothing more you can see what I am doing :). Hope this helps!
