The "independent researcher" you refer to is Roger Altman Eng. Sc.D.  You
can obtain his research data by
e-mail at  [email protected]  and reports on the data
are free for the downloading at www.silver-colloids.com
 All of the questions you raise appear to be answered in
the report I read, but I would like to hear your comments
after you read it.

Happy Silvering!
