PPM of colloidal silver
needs to be understood in its entirety. PPM means parts per million.
By definition 1 PPM is 1 milligram of silver deposited in 1 liter of water
(1,000 ml) (1,000,000 mg). If one were to ingest that 1 mg. piece of silver, it would
not do much good. If you were to divide that 1 mg. into 1,000,000
particles of silver, it would then have much more efficacy because it takes one
particle of silver to disable 1 pathogen. The silver is now 1,000,000
times better than 1 piece of silver even though by definition it is still only 1
PPM. If one were to further divide the 1 mg piece of silver into
100,000,000 particles, it would be very beneficial indeed. And so as
the silver is more finely divided the PPM by definition remains the same.
So, what really counts is
not how many PPM the silver is but how many particles the silver has been
divided into, That is why it isn't necessary to have high PPM but it IS
important to divide the silver as finely as possible. To see how small the
silver can be divided by our colloidal silver generators, please look at
the electron microscope photos. It is not better to try to take high PPM
colloidal silver but to take CS that is properly made. If you think more
silver is necessary, just take more of better made low PPM colloidal silver and
you will be further ahead than if you took poorly made, high PPM colloidal
Another factor is the form
silver is in. 90-95% of the silver made with the SG6 Auto is ionic and up
to 98% of the SG7 Pro silver water is ionic. Ionic silver is like sugar or
salt dissolved into the water. It is invisible and can only be sensed with
a test meter such as the PWT we sell. Ionic silver is conductive whereas
colloidal silver is not. Colloids are like small ball bearings floating
around in the water and separated from each other by what is called Brownian
Motion. They carry no electrical charge. The ions are silver atoms
missing one electron in the outer shell and therefore are positive in
charge. The ionic portion is evenly dispersed like dissolved sugar or
The generator determines
the shutoff point by measuring the ionic water conductivity.
If the colloidal silver is
properly made it will be crystal clear. This is because the particles are
too small to reflect any light. If it shows any color, the particles are
too large. The first color seen is yellow. As the particle size
increases other colors such as red, green, blue, brown or black may be seen.
Any color seen will indicate CS that is not very good.
