Question: Does the acronym 'ppm' refer to particle size or number of particles in solution?

(I work at a health food store) She said her husbands book mentions that only 5 ppm should be taken and anything over that could be dangerous. Also, that it shouldn't be taken long term. Now, from reading the posts here it sounds like many of you have been taking it for years and are taking over 5 ppm. Her husbands book is a medical book. She refused to buy our store products which range from 10 ppm to 45 ppm. All of which I've taken but only when needed for sinus infections. My boyfriend however would like to take them regularly as he has asthma. What is safe to take and will it help his asthma? Giving a limit on the ppm of cs without giving a limit on how much to take is nonsense. That is, if you have 10 ppm and dilute it with an equal amount of distilled water, they you will have 5 ppm. Now, when you get up above 20 ppm, I do tend to agree with that since the particles will start getting bigger, a simple dilution will not necessarily make it the same as CS produced at that ppm. CS may help asthma. Killing any pathogens that are present, might help the body stabalize its immune system. Also, I have my grandmother taking it. She is 86 and recently had a fever over 104. I finally convinced my mother to put her on the CS after 5 days of a high fever. Her fever was gone the next am and has come back slightly now and then since. She is drinking a ton of water, Could the CS make her thirsty? (I know she didn't drink much while she was sick so maybe she's making up for lost fluids. I would not expect CS to may one thirsty. However any toxins in the body can certainly cause that. This can be anything from elevated sugar in the blood, to heavy metals released by eating garlic, or toxins released when pathogens die.
