This is an example of a mixture of the many myths and fables you will run into concerning CS. There is some limited truth here, but you will notice that these claims have no research nor science to substantiate them. > "Keep Colloidal Silver in the food storage, store it in glass containers only and away from electrical appliances."< The *electrical appliances* thing is only true for low-voltage-brewed CS. This means don't store your CS on top of speakers with big magnets. Otherwise, don't seat it. > "Although glass breaks easier, glass is the only material that will keep Colloidal Silver for any length of time. DO NOT accept Colloidal Silver packaged in plastic as its shelf life is minimal and the silver particles most likely will plate out on the surface and hence are no longer in suspension. There is an inherent electric charge in the hydrocarbon molecule that will draw the charged silver particle out of solution, bonding it to the side wall of the plastic container! You may not see it but it's there alright. The preparation is then unusable. Do not store Colloidal Silver in a refrigerator or freezer, as the long term electric charge of the appliance can have the same effect on colloidal silver as does storing it in a plastic container."< All of my experience negates nearly every statement made above. Bob Berger, a long-time member of this list, once tested various plastics to see which ones bled/dissolved the most. He found that the hard, shiny, PET or PETE type plastic like what soda pop comes in added absolutely nothing to the CS, even when stored for awhile. However, he said, the whitish, translucent plastic like what milk comes in dissolved into the CS. > "There is an inherent electric charge in the hydrocarbon molecule that will draw the charged silver particle out of solution, bonding it to the side wall of the plastic container!" < I'd like to see the science to substantiate that statement! A man called me awhile ago to order some more CS. He said he had come down with a cold the night before and had drunk the rest of his CS that night and wanted to get more. He said that his cold was gone the next morning and he didn't want to be without CS. I wasn't familiar with his name and asked him where he had purchased that last bottle of CS. He named a HF store that had gone out of business over four years ago! He had abolished a cold overnight with Vintage, 4-year old CS that had been sitting in a PET plastic bottle. The above site will also tell you not to allow your CS to be exposed to sunlight. I set a clear jar of my CS in the window in the sunlight and forgot about it (a shelf had gotten put in front of it). When I eventually noticed it, it had been sitting there all day every day in the sun for 15 months! (It had a dated label.) After that period of time, it had a very, very faint yellowish tinge to it that you had to look at from several angles to even see.
