My thanks go to Marshall Dudley for useful input on CS and magnetic fields,
plastic containers, and PPM vs efficacy. I'm not convinced by his explanation
re the latter. Marshall wrote:
"Our testing indicates that once you get to about 20 ppm, the particles get
larger instead of more numerous. Thus the efficacy of CS levels out at about
10 ppm, but since the larger particles have less mobility and are less able to
get through the stomach wall into the blood stream, when you get above about 20
ppm, the efficacy tends to actually drop."
If you check out the details of the lab tests at the Troubled Times site, here
is what they say about CS concentrations:
"C. Reagents
Using a 1.0% silver solution and nutrient broth, dilutions of silver solution
were made: 0.10%, 0.05%, 0.025%, 0.005%, and 0.0025%. Four sets of the
dilutions were made and inoculated with each microbe. The four sets of
inoculated silver solution dilutions were incubated at 35 degrees Celsius for
24 hours."
Clearly the same batch of CS was used in each case - concentration variation
was via dilution, not different brewing regime. Thus the mystery remains!
Your remarks on blackening of CS solution running through a "magnetic
structuring" arrangement is interesting. There will be a small emf generated
owing to the flow in a magnetic field, but it should be orders of magnitude
smaller than the electric fields around the electrodes during eg, LVDC brewing.
I have not noticed any blackening when using a small 27V generator, and apart
from the bod who overcooked using hot water, haven't heard of others
experiencing it either. Fascinating new physics!? Without giving away anything
commercially sensitive, Marshall, could you please tell us what the "magnetic
structuring" arrangement is supposed to do - presumably there is an improvement
in quality.
