Marshall said it well, and is what I had in mind but didn't communicate it very well. The Borderlands article is interesting, but is only one data point. What is needed are more carefully conducted experiments, as Marshall indicates, to determine that the phenomena is repeatable, and isolating the variation to just one cause such as lunar position. Until that is done, the one experiment is statistically insignificant.
Has anyone generated say 100 batches of CS all at once (same starting and ending time), with as close to the same conditions as possible in a laboratory, and determined the statistical variance of the batches with each other? If we can't generate nearly identical batches given the nearly identical conditions (same H2O, volume, electrode purity and wetted area, current, temperature, ambient atmosphere, brew time, electromagnetic and accoustic environment, (same mental attitude about each batch being brewed???), etc.), then we must first understand why there is so much variation before we can start introducing other variables such as moon gravity or whatever. One would hope and expect that such an uncomplicated procedure (e.g. simple electrolysis) could produce highly repeatable results. Then one could feel confident in doing experiments to determine what outside influences may affect properties of the "brew". Sadly, the large scale laboratory tests with CS likely will never be done because those who could invest the substantial funds required would not be able to get a return from their expenditure. We may not now know how to make the "best" CS or ionic silver or mix of both yet, and we may never know this, but at least we can feel confident that what we do make from pure water and silver only has a high probability of improving our quality of life. It is reassuring to see the anecdotal evidence of benefits keep piling up from more and more people, and none of us are turning blue-gray! --Steve ----- Original Message ----- > > See www.borderlands.com/archives/arch/lunar.htm > ><SNIP> > However although there does seem to be evidence that the moon does have an > effect if we can believe that these experiments were really run, and resulted > in these reported results, additional testing needs to be done to confirm it. > > First it needs to be duplicated by others, and it needs to be done with double > blind testing.
