Ivan: I seem to recall an MD friend of mine who was curious enough to boil a pot of (0.999, I think) metallic silver in DW for "several hours," and then sent it in for AA. I believe he got 1.2 PPM. By copy of this email, I'm contacting him to verify this result. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
