Thanks Kevin. Still think its wrong to use USP to ascribe a level of purity when the product contains identifiable other components - trace amounts or otherwise. Namaste: Bob Bartell

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob <mailto:[email protected]> Bartell To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 7:56 AM 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?

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.

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 Trem ----- Original Message ----- From: "Russ Rosser" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 11:55 PM Subject: CS>Re: CS TASTE POLL -- The 3 Questions > Arnold, > > > The use of a conductivity meter can be ambiguous as the introduction > > of air, particularly by stirring or bubbling, can lead to an increase in > > conductivity. > > Yes, and it indicates only the ionic content, which may be of little > efficacy. > > > Using a laser pointer to indicate the presence of actual > > silver particles is definitive... > > If...an increasingly bright beam is > > observed as the process continues, > > you are making colloidal silver > > Yes, TE indicates *if* "you are making colloidal silver," but not > necessarily *when* when to STOP.
