Dear Mr. Berger.
A comment regarding your prune juice container
experience: In 1997, when two of our technicians were enthusiastically
pursuing
multiple avenues of research on Colloidal Silver generation, they discovered
that
most saccharides, glucoses and sucroses caused the yellow/gold color shifts to
occur----all harmless physiologically (based upon our evaluations). The
residual
sucrose/fructose content along the walls of the container, probably, caused the
reaction your CS experienced.
No sugar-bearing compound (used in 50 to 500 mg amounts in to
16
oz DW volumes) ever caused us any difficulty.......whatsoever. In fact, all of
our staff members (4) currently generating their own CS, use one small drop of
pure
honey (per 8 to 16 oz) as an accelerant. Electron microscopy has not revealed
any
detectable visual anomalies in any of the solutions containing any of the
glucose/sucrose/fructose accelerants.
Conversely, we encountered many anomalies, including
agglomeration,
from a wide variety of contaminated water sources (even slightly contaminated).
SODIUM CHLORIDE , even in small quantities, effected structural changes
detectable
by electron microscopy (We did not conduct any form of toxicity evaluations for
the
NaCl solutions). Also, the amount of contaminating substance required for
upsetting the generation of CS acceptable for internal use-----was quite small
(as
little as 16-20 ppm).. NO TAP WATER source ever facilitated the generation of
acceptable colloidal silver solutions.......based upon stability and visual
analysis via electron microscopy.
I hope these observations will be of value to the discussion
revolving
around solution colorations.
Sincerely. Brooks Bradley.
