Can any knowledgeable folks out there please attempt to reconcle or otherwise
explain the following seemingly irreconcileable:
"Magnetic stirring will work" - Ole Bob {Re_ CS_Magnetic effect, Digest
#893}
"Keep away from magnetic fields, electric motors, etc. It will cause the CS to
fall out of solution" {exerpted paraphrase from many vendors web sites.}
But what possible mechanism exists whereby a static or at most low frequency
magnetic field can appreciably effect an otherwise stable suspension of
nonmagnetic, electrically charged colloid particles? Does any list member have
experience of CS dropout due to magnets or electric motors?
Another topic that baffles me is the apparent negative relation between CS
concentration and anti-bacterial efficacy as reported at
http://zetatalk.com/health/theal20t.htm
Can this data make any sense? Has anyone found themselves regressing from
drinking too much CS?
One more question. Many vendors caution against storage of CS in plastic
containers, allegedly because of the charges present on the plastic surface.
Yet stuff like HDPE is almost completely nonpolar, and in fact glass has a far
more ionic character. So is it all BS, or if not, what is the real explanation?
