Colloidal Silver Water

[Mark69]

@ Exx,

Waiting on your results.  I will be ordering my silver wire this week.  Did you get from Ebay ($25 plus shipping from Atlas) or did you call them directly?  I am wondering if the price is better if I call direct.

Sorry man, I have no access to "golly gee whiz" tools like a T.E.M. and will probably have to do with approximation tools the like conductivity test (and believe me, I'd L_O_V_E to have "golly gee whiz" tools).

I mean it looks as if to be the perfect tool, but has some significant requirements e.g.

6) Transmission electron microscope

    * Magnification: A series of electrostatic and electromagnetic lenses act on an electron beam to produce up to 50 million times magnification
    * Depth of field: Very small.
    * Uses: Microbiology, pathology, crystallography
    * Advantages: Very high resolution.
    * Disadvantages: Requires extensive specimen preparation, including staining and sectioning with an ultramicrotome. Cannot observe the surface of objects.Very specialized equipment that requires a partial vacuum.

While these all might not be necessary for liquid specimen viewing, it's still a bit far out of my grasp of facility access at the moment.

I _MIGHT_ spring for a lab analysis (I think the going rate starts @ around $75 per sample and goes up from there) after trying a few runs using different time spans and voltages to see what my personal experiences will be and if any particular one seems to have anomalous properties not in the others.

I'll do a little wresearch (web research) to see if there are other viable alternatives to investigate particle size.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

For the 1 troy ounce .9999 10 gauge wire it's $38+$3 ship (41) on eBay and $34+$4 ship ($38) at the site, so I bought from the site.
I don't know about other sizes/prices, but a quick search on the site and at eBay can answer if it's the same for them.
The one drawback the site has vs. eBay is that it is not PayPal enabled so it has to be credit card there.

My tests may be sporadic so I wouldn't wait around for me. You can test it yourself with some moldy bread.
In fact, that's probably what I'll start off with before I go to petris and pure strains as isolating bacteria can be a bit challenging and I want to know which CS batches are at least effective on the moldy bread.

There's lots of conflicting info out there on the good/bad of CS (yellow color, particle size effectiveness, optimal electrolysis method, ionic/colloidal, etc.) that I have to filter through again to see which ones make the most sense (I'm leaning towards the Brigham Young and Texas U studies since they would have the more precise testing methods).

I can see how this has good historical anecdotal testimony and see how/why it could be effective, but I still want to do a few tests of my own before exploring the benefits of internal use.

I'm attaching a published pdf I found on one of the CS sites (csfacts.com I think) of an ACTUAL BYU study using a base 32PPM solution and diluting it to varying strengths for a wide range of antibiotic resistant bacterial strains with and without antibiotics (I think...I'm still reading it).

exxcomm0n,

I did not mean you buy a TEM... I meant gain access to one

Some universities do have TEMs and rent access to them on a hourly basis, as well as provide staff and expertise in using the equipment. I know a local univ. here does have a such facility I just never got around to making specimens and dedicating a few hundred dollars for the tests - there's always something better to do with that kind of money, you know.

Get yourself a SilverPuppy #2 with magnetic stir base....lab tested over 85% ionic output (.129nm)

You won't look back.
