I've been lurking this list for a little while now and am writing to thank everyone for their input. When I first heard of Colloidal Silver, I thought it must be Baloney! But, I started asking questions of people I know, got on the net and began reading, joined the list for awhile, and I'm here to tell you that I have successfully made my first half-gallon of CS! I used the three 9V battery method with silver 'rounds' that I purchased at a local coin dealer. I cooked for about four hours with the silver bits about two inches apart. The CS came out a beautiful light golden yellow. It has a slight metallic taste, not at all unpleasant. I have used 10ppm CS purchased from my health food store (basically no taste) and tasted 500ppm CS from a prominent herbal site(very strong metallic taste). I'm going to guess from my readings that mine came out somewhere around 15-20ppm. I don't really care about exact strength since it is for personal use only. I am well pleased with my results and already have plans for upgrading my equipment. Once again, thanks for everyones' input.
