I'm with you Opa, I have zero scientific knowledge, just a mug punter me <g>.
What do I use to clean my electrodes? Paper towel, and if I run out of that at
any time I use toilet paper, even a shirt ripped up for rags. If my product
remains as it should to my satisfaction, and stays that way *unchanged* after
some considerable time in storage, I am not unduly fussed about what I use
really. I can't expect to achieve "perfection" in my kitchen, some compromises
have to be made or accepted is how I see it. There are important basic rights
and wrongs with producing this stuff, anything else is just 'stocking filler'
for me, the basics are the most important thing for me as a home producer.
PPM...That would be a matter of choice for the individual I guess. I run mine
up to around 18-21 on a meter, knowing that when it reaches a point of relative
stability whilst in storage it would have dropped around 5ppm, {rough figures}
but the *total* silver content would be higher than that anyway. For example,
if mine drops from 18 down to 12-15 or whatever I know the *total* silver
content is higher than that, it's just the ion/particle ratio that has changed
more while in storage which has resulted in that drop in ppm. Meters only
indicate ion content, not particle content, so the other 5ppm of silver didn't
go anywhere, it's still there. Even though I run mine up to that 18-21 I know
there is more silver content than the meter indicated. Of course you probly
already know this anyway <g>.
As for over 5ppm being a "waste", I don't know if I would necessarily say that.
For example, if I were administering for the onset of a suspected health issue
I would increase that way above 5ppm, {dependant on the suspected health issue
of course, it may require medical intervention for example}, mainly to hit the
suspected health issue hard and fast until recovery is evident before backing
off to a lower ppm, or the lower ppm used as a daily maintenance thing, as I
do. Although having just said that, my daily intake would be around the 12-15
ppm as I said earlier, but only an ounce or 30-50ml each morning. For a
suspected health issue I would normally make, take or administer a fresh 8
ounce or 250-300ml batch, even a couple of times a day to ensure it's ingested
within 12-24 hours, {I normally brew about 1200ml at a time}, I can maximise
the Ag+ ion intake before the solution has had time to form more particles.
5ppm may be OK for topical use in preventing bacteria or such from entering an
open wound or assist in healing sunburn prior to skin peeling, but I personally
believe a higher ppm is required for internal use in treating a suspected
"something?". It surprises me to hear so many people in the public domain
insist that the higher ionic solution should NOT be taken internally...Hogwash
I say, quite the opposite for me, I personally would never consider ingesting
the so called "true colloidal" product in *any* amount or *any* ppm.
Disclaimer, to whomever it may concern...Don't forget that magic word
'opinion', this is all my personal opinion only <g>.

Thanks for this post Neville. It helps me feel more comfortable with what
I'mdoing. I have little scientific experience, and your down-to-earth
explanationIs appreciated. Seems to me I read on here somewhere that anything
above5ppm is a waste anyway.
I don't have the know how, equipment or funds to get into the formulas andhigh
tech side of all this. I am one doing it in the kitchen.
Bye the way, what Do you use to clean your anodes?Opa
