I actually do hold it up under a flourescent light and look at it against a
dark background about 90 degrees from the direction of the light.  It is
very pale, like water with a very small amount of milk in it.

I use a $5,000 Hach scanning photospectrometer to measure it.  It is very
close to 5 ppm.

I am quite certain the 5 ppm is quite close.  How much H2O2 did you add? I
only used a few drops.

Na+ + H2O2 -> NaO + H2O2

I already ran that test, and it goes after adding ammonia.

Why would you think that?  Silver oxide dissolves in water, silver chloride
almost does not.  Silver chloride will saturate at 0.8 PPM in cold water,
silver oxide at 13 ppm, or about 16 times higher.  Thus only if the CS has
a concentration over about 13 ppm would the silver oxide not totally
dissolve.

Add this to the fact that once this crosses into the blood stream it will
react with the glucose in the blood, producing colloidal silver of atom
size!  Might explain the good results people have had with this.  The
downside is that silver oxide is light sensitive though. I am planning on
continuing the experimentation today by taking some resistance measurements
as I go to try to figure the ionic content, and use some glucose to make
the silver oxide revert to atoms.  But first I am going to make some silver
chloride and verify that the H2O2 does indeed clear it like I expect.

Since the ions will become silver chloride as soon as it hits the stomach,
and most will precipitate out never making it to the blood stream, how
could they be more effective?

I don't believe that when silver oxide comes in contact with the sugar in
the blood it reduces to silver metal could be construed as being inert.

Google search.

Ag+ + H2O2 -> AgO + H2O
12AgO + C6H12O6 -> 12Ag + 6CO2 + 6H2O

If this is the actual way it reacts, then this could produce 12 silver
Atoms, or a silver particle of 12 atoms.
