Interesting numbers. Much lower than I expected. [...] > yes, that is true.

I am really surprised. It shouldn't be that touchy. I'd think you should easily get 20uS with no problem. Getting past 22uS is a bit more difficult. I really can tell the difference when it gets below about 18uS. The Shingles starts twitching and tingling. But you are going to be very surprised when I get around to telling you about the experiments I did to measure sublingual absorption. You won't believe it. >> How do you clean your generator and electrodes? > I rinse them with peroxide rarely, maybe once or twice a year. > Then rinse with hot tap water several times, then 2 or 3 rinses > with DW.

I pour some isopropyl alcohol in and swish it around, then wipe with a tissue. Rinse with dw and let it dry. Then never touch it again with fingers. I rarely use H2O2 any more since I found it contains phosphoric acid and other stabilizers that can leave contamination on things. BTW, I bought a small bottle of 85% to see if it would dissolve silver or silver hydroxide. It cost $20.00, which is a lot right now, so I had to eat boiled potatoes for a couple of days. It had no effect on silver. Apparently it needs to work with H2O2. > Because there may be airborne contaminants here, I wipe the > electrodes with a piece of white paper towel, wetted with DW just > before starting a new batch.
