Jim: Who knows what compounds are made in such a process. However, the increased conductivity of tap water causes the reaction to start out of control immediately. This greatly increases the actual amount of silver deposited into the water. As with using saline solution as a primer, a great deal of silver will remain in the "solution". The end result is a poorer quality product with "too much" actual silver content.
It wouldn't surprise me if one discovered that metallic silver was actually plating out in the process, in small quantities of course.

I use low voltage and current limiting. It is about 15 uS as measured on a PWT and has low Tindell as shown with the laser. But, I have experimented making CS with tap water which in my case is well water. I have been reluctant to drink it though. Do you think that the process causes silver to be electroplated onto the mineral content of the well water? I seem to get a brown residue in the bottom of the jar and a thin black coating or plating on the sides of the jar. Does this mean that I am precipitating the minerals in the water? I am undecided whether this is good or bad. What do you think? Juergen P.

There are plenty of salts in the body to convert silver ions into silver chloride. Not adding CS to tapwater is not going to make one bit of difference. In fact, silver ions are not going to get out of the body as ions, period. At some point, most if not all ions will be converted to salts or proteins, and perhaps reconverted to ions, then back to any number of possible compounds. To think anything else is nothing more or less than unclear thinking. What happens between point A ( drinking CS ) and point Z ( the silver either exits the body in particulate/compound form or is deposited in the body in particulate/compound form ) is the "miracle" of CS. The point I've been trying to make for several years now is that not everyone is at equal risk for Argyria. Joe can take CS for thirty years and have no problem. Joe builds a website that says it is completely non-toxic, add a pinch of salt in the production process because we are impatient... Then, six people get Argyria between 5 and 15 years down the road. I'm betting the candidate used salt in the production process, as he was not even aware of the term Argyria... Judging from the date, he probably used Metcalf's instructions on CS generation ( or some derived from Metcalf's work ). Like I said on a post earlier this year, lawyers are already listing colloidal silver as a topic for lawsuits. Those manufacturers who do not educate their customers on the risk because they don't feel the risk is there may be getting some surprises down the road. It's hard to know because it is impossible to truly know how people are using products. I've been working on some theoretical programs for quite awhile to reduce the risk of Argyria.... This for those with terminal illness who for whatever reason need to be on colloidal silver long term, taking amounts exceeding eight ounces daily of 10PPM CS. While on topic, I also have a problem with the SilverFacts page on this issue, as the site simply plays the propaganda game on the other side of the coin. As far as whether or not cosmetic argyria is a real issue, I deal with people on both sides of the coin... Those who could really care less, and those who have a lot to lose as they make a living on their appearance. I still do not believe that taking sane mounts of quality, "isolated" colloidal silver places one at risk. I keep my own silver intake well below the EPA established guidelines for lifetime consumption of silver. However, I would like to comment on one more issue: By the time silver starts to deposit in the skin, it will likely have already started depositing in organs. When the skin, fingernails, and hair start to show signs of a condition, it is a warning that the elimination system is not functioning properly. Dehydration is probably the first place to look. The body's ph levels are likely a good second place to look. Best Regards, Jason
