CS as deodorantKevin:

It is certainly possible that the taste was influenced by the H2O2, although I 
THINK I can taste the difference between the H2O2 and the silver...

  Bob,
          Phosphoric acid is a major additions to most soft-drinks - you would 
be getting maybe millions of times more from a few swigs of coke than from a 
few drops of 3% H2O2 containing .001% PA. I would think purified water is 
synonymous with deionized water - only trace amounts of anything else present. 
Almost certainly the quantities of contaminants in the water used to make your 
CS batch would overwhelm anything coming from those few added drops of H2O2. I 
do wonder though whether Jason's taste testing was skewed from the addition of 
peroxide - bitter stuff!

  regards, Kevin Nolan

    Subject: CS>H2O2 in CS


    After reading Jason's message about adding hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to CS 
and remembering other posts in the past that have mentioned this, a little bell 
went off in my head with a link to some memories of 35% food grade hydrogen 
peroxide, et al.  Anyhow, I went to the medicine cabinet to check what was 
there and found a bottle of 3%.  It was acquired from K-Mart and in prominent 
size lettering on the front it states 3% H2O2 U.S.P.  When I went to school, 
that stood for United States Pure.  The fine print on the back says "Also 
contains 0.001% Phosphoric Acid as a stabilizer, and Purified Water".  Purified 
water means "no live bugs" but other "inert" ingredients may be dissolved in 
the water - right?  Well, I better get out those old supplier lists of Food 
Grade H2O2  and make my own dilute solutions with distilled water.   That, 
hopefully, won't screw up my CS experimentations.  Anybody else care to comment 
on their experiences with H2O2 in CS?  Namaste:  Bob

    Trem's generator ( personally speaking ) create a CS that tastes about 
"half" as "metallic" as a very high ionic colloidal silver ( as tested by 
ionizing remaining particles with H2O2 ) at about 10PPM.



    I've noticed that as the PPM increases, so does the strength of the taste, 
considering with a good current controlled generator, the  ratio of ionic vs. 
colloidal content should roughly remain the same ( within reason ).



    From my observations, an 85% ionic CS as compared to a 95%+ ( only 
estimated ) CS has quite a different taste ( the latter being  more bitter or 
harsh ).



    However, you can get the same level of taste from a nine-volt battery 
setup...  While a very strong batch will be lower quality because of the 
runaway reaction producing larger particles and producing a poorly dispersed 
end product, it will still "taste" quite potent.  I don't think taste can be 
used to gauge quality, only to determine whether or not there are silver ions.



    Silverpuppy generators produce a CS that is very similiar taste-wise; the 
taste of Natural Immunogenics Argentum 23 is also very comparable.



    But, being taste, this is all very subjective, although I just went and 
took a small sip of all three.



    Jason

      Hi Russ,

      We test all our SG7 Pro machines by making CS and calibrating them at the
      same time.  So, we always end up with CS that measures at least 15 PPM
      determined by using 3 PWT's for averaging purposes.

      Since lab tests show our CS is 85% ionic that means it is at least 17 PPM
      total silver.  The figure of 15 PPM is actually on the low side because we
      usually crank the output up to 20 PPM to assure customers they can get at
      least 15 PPM.  So, that means our CS made during testing is usually 20+ 
PPM.

      I drink between 1 and 4 ounces at a time daily.  To me the taste is 
usually
      not metallic but does save a faint astringent flavor.  When I have made it
      to strengths of 35-45 PPM it sometimes does have a metallic flavor but by 
no
      means is it unpleasant.

      I must also let you know my palate is not the meat and potatoes type.  We
      cook with lots of spices and exotic flavors so our CS might taste 
different
      to someone that is used to a more bland diet.  Are there any of you out
      there that have one of our generators that would care to chime in?

      1) What's your CS' PPM?        20+
      2) How was it measured?          PWT and AA
      3) How would you rank it's flavor intensity (1-5)?    2
