Hi Bill, Thanks for this information. BTW I think if you check the math you'll find that 0.32% solution is the same as 3200ppm. Also, I think a rough verification of ppm is to be had by using a Hanna PWT where adding Microdyn drop by drop to a measured amount of water.
Out of curiosity do you know of any studies of the effects of Microdyn or the other brands? Regards, Reid Bill Missett wrote: Reid & Jack: There are at least five companies in Mexico producing CS with the same rating as Microdyn (not 3200 ppm, but rather 0.32 percent CS rating on the label). Some go higher, to 0.35 and 0.36. We went around and around on this issue years ago, and to my knowledge, no one has ever tested Microdyn for its actual ppm rating. But it is very potent, working in DROP dosages instead of teaspoon or tablespoon doses. About one year ago, Microdyn repackaged its product, going from a 25 ml bottle to a 15 ml bottle, keeping the price the same. At the same time, one of the CS competitors, Bac-Dyn, produced a 35 ml bottle at a lower price than the 15 ml Microdyn. (About 80 cents a bottle versus $1US) I quickly bought up about 15 bottles of the Bac-Dyn. (CS price wars in Mexico!!) But about 8-10 months ago, I read a post from Marshall Dudley (I believe) who said he had produced a bad batch of CS, and it had turned his fingernails blue. I checked my fingernails, and damned if they weren't blue. I blamed the Bac-Dyn, because I had been taking MicroDyn for six years with no problems whatsoever. I immediately stopped taking the Bac-Dyn internally (but kept using it externally) and within three months, my fingernails were back to normal. Although practically everybody in Mexico uses Microdyn or one of the other CS products, I have never seen a blue Mexican. They are all a lovely shade of brown. That's about as anecdotal as you can get. Bill Missett Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico ps: MicroDyn also sells its product in 1&2 liter bottle sizes, at huge discounts. I understand it is available at the Price Club and Sam's Club in Acapulco, the nearest big city to me. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
