dean, good point on the supplements. i have been told that 3/9, or .999 fine silver can be anything from .9990, .9991, .9993, all the way to .9998. they can't call it 4/9 or .9999 fine till it actually assays at that.
we have been thru all this before, and the downside to all the fly sh*t pickin, is that it terribly confuses the beginners, and causes a lot of undue worry. trem, thanks for the input. jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Miller" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 12:19 PM Subject: Re: CS>pharmaceutical grade silver (99.999) > Hi Jack, > > On Thu, 10 Apr 2003 09:54:57 -0700, Jack Dayton <[email protected]> > wrote: > > >Trem wrote in-part: > > > >> In one sample of 10 ppm colloidal silver we sent out for total analysis > >> (made with 99.9% silver electrodes), the primary impurities found were: 1) > >> Sodium, 470 ppb, 2) Calcium, 260 ppb, 3) Manganese, 70 ppb, 4) Potassium, 50 > >> ppb, and 5) Magnesium, 24 ppb.
