These marketing methods are bound to backfire. For example, there are several reports in the silver list archives where people have tried his product and found it doesn't work. Also, Steve Quinto recently published a time-kill analysis of Frank's Mesosilver that shows Mesosilver has no killing power. You can see the results at http://tinyurl.com/3qb4v Additional supporting data are at http://tinyurl.com/47ujf http://tinyurl.com/3mmq2 These results support the believe that most of us had all along - the oxides in cs have no value, and only the ions have any biological activity. This means a more accurate measurement of the cs is the conductivity in microsiemens as measured with the Hanna PWT. Correlating the data from Franks' Product Reports, Trem William's information, and Ivan Anderson's data shows that 1uS = 1ppm. One problem with this measurement is the conductivity can be affected by contamination, such as stray droplets from cleaning solutions containing bleach, ammonia, vinegar, etc. This could give a high PWT reading with few silver ions in the solution. This means additional information is needed to give confidence that the PWT reading is correct. The Faraday calculation can be used to show enough silver ions were released to support the Hanna reading, followed by a salt test to confirm the overall result. Until we can all afford a complete analysis lab in the basement, this may help us find out how good the cs really is. In the meantime, there is a lot of good information on Frank's site if you simply ignore his propaganda on ions and colloids. For example, the glossary is excellent: http://www.silver-colloids.com/Papers/definitions.html His report on Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) images of cs is quite good, but ignore all the chemistry equations he gives. They are all unbalanced and incorrect. http://www.silver-colloids.com/Pubs/TEM.html And the product reports are very useful. Disregard the accuracy he claims in his measurements. Numbers stated to two decimal places is rubbish. What is important is the rich variety of processes represented in the reports, and the typical numbers that can be expected from each. http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html For example, as well as the Natural Immunogenics products favored by Jason, the American Biotech Labs "ASAP Solution" provides an ionic concentration of 19.6 ppm. Since ions are ions, this is probably a much less expensive product with equal performance: http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/cpr06/cpr_06.html And a simple homemade cs generator using "W" electrodes and low current density can easily reach these same levels. More advanced generators can easily reach 40uS or more, and David O'Neil of Silverwell in Australia has been achieving phenomenal numbers with a silverpuppy and special demineralized water. I have verified his data using the above methods, and found his measurements are valid. I found the increased ionic concentration of 40uS cs to be very helpful in relieving the terrible symptoms of mold toxins, such as blinding headaches and crippling joint pain. The 20uS had no effect, even when doubling the dose. The increased ionic strength should be very helpful to burn victims and those with damaged or compromised immune systems, such as Lyme, MS, HIV, and cancer treatment survivors. So as in everything, you have to sift through the piles of false and misleading information to find the gems of truth. The important thing is they are there if you care to look.
