Thank you for your reply. Makes sense what you say about moving silver between the electrodes. In fact the local consensus is (can you call it "consensus" if nobody has an explanation?) that it is not known why there is no sludge build-up at the cathode and what and if there is a difference between a clear and a yellow ahem liquid.

Indeed, the product I gain from this mode tastes very metallic and has a strong Tyndall effect - which is supposed to be "good",  until I learned more here. Also, there is a considerable dark fall-out.

@ baking powder: I looked up what the local baking powders are made of.

They usually consist of one or more carbonates an/or bicarbonates, acid salts like disodium hydrogen phosphate or potassium acid tartrate. Plus starch or oats fibers up to 65% as bulk agent. Sometimes they contain  lemon extract for taste and acidifying and artificial vanilla.

Eminently acceptable for a cake, but for making Colloidal Silver? I`ll rather get some carbonate from a chemistry dealer and be on the safe side. They have it 99,7% pure. Ironically, this is far cheaper than getting the small envelopes in the supermarket.

Don´t misunderstand me, I am not debating the addition of sodium carbonate, but I question the purity of a product that is not made for ingestion.
I have a small bucket of potassium carbonate food grade left over from another project and I will use that. If I understand correct, the weight will be interchangeable.
If you doubt the purity of your sodium carbonate, make your own from sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).
Sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate are not interchangeable at the same weight.

Corn syrup seems ubiquitous in the States, but not here. You get glucose syrup for making soft ice, but I did not find out if this is the same. They say it is glucose-fructose in various mixes.
Your glucose syrup will probably work ok.

The generator I have can be set to single polarity and switching polarity. The latter produces "clear" Colloidal Silver - which in in the lights of the stuff said here is probably I.O.S. Is there any merit of making the Colloidal Silver this way and then reduce it?
Thanks.
Never switch polarity. If you do, you are just moving silver from one electrode to the other, and you cannot predict the ppm.  Also switching requires 2 silver electrodes instead of just one silver and one any other metal.

Colloidal Silver Production / availability of Soda and capping agents

Greetings.
So I have introduced myself long-windedly in the newbies section.

I scrutinized the pinned documents. I want to give it a shot the way you outlined, but there are a few ingredients missing.
Soda is available as a cleaning agent (although these days less and less popular in the vicinity of flashy perfumed cleaners...), but I ask myself if it is feasible to look for water as clean as possible and then add something that is destined for floor cleaning.

I can get maltodextrin, but the Cinnamon thing seems more flexible.

Colloidal Gold Production / Re: Urgent request: idiot proof guide

Karo or sugar bonds to the gold, not the washing soda.
Color indicates particles size.  You want ruby red.  Blue indicates large particles that are not effective.

I was using the sodium carbonate and Karo syrup method with Gold chloride from Sirius Metals (1% Gold Metal - 0.5 grams in 50mL)

Just wanting to know the chemical process of suspending the gold in distilled water.  I understand the chloride boils off as the temperature gets to 212f, but is the gold bonding to the sugar in the Karo or to the sodium carbonate?  Also, the color is due to the absorption/reflection of light through the liquid so this ruby red color, does it tell me the quality or success of the CG process?

Thank you for the quick reply. I agree the idea of a tablespoon as a dose is crazy, so little actual gold. I was taking 8oz (approx 236ml) and noticed a great improvement, I may try to increase to 3 doses per day to see if I notice more of a result. I figure each dose costs about $2. So it could be expensive long term, but better than the drugs in my system!

I am a bit of a new guy here, I have read lots of the articles and processes to making cg and Colloidal Silver.  Right now I am focusing on the cg to help with my knee pain due to arthritis/inflammation.

I have made several batches of the CG using the simple chemical method.  I have been taking it for now two weeks and saw a marked improvement on only day 3.  Now I sleep through the night, no more pain medications.  It's great!

I have been taking 8oz daily in a single dose just before bed of the 40ppm CG.  Is this too much? I am thinking of reducing my intake, to see what works, just looking for someone that already experimented with doses and have a suggested effective dose that works for a 230 lbs guy like me.  Many sources online say a tablespoon.  Not sure if this would do anything.  Thanks.
The clinical trials using colloidal gold for arthritic conditions use 30mg per day.  This is equivalent to 3 250ml doses made with 1 ml of gold chloride per each 250ml.  Once your symptoms are improved, you can drop back to one dose per day, which is what I did.  A tablespoon is a f--king joke brought about by sellers who don't know anything except that no one would pay $80 for 1 dose, and that the FDA would never consider an 8 ounce serving size to be a supplement which is the only way it can be sold.

Yes, also my inexpensive scale only starts at around 10 milligrams. A small piece of paper is enough to move the scale beyond this point. As Kephra already said, you then have to add the small amount to be weighed without tare it.

However, it still makes sense to prepare a small amount of highly concentrated stock solution (e.g. 20,000 ppm).
You can weigh out 270 mg and then dilute it to 10 g with distilled water.
In this way you get 10 g  (10 ml) of 20000 ppm stock solution. This stock solution can then be diluted relatively easily to 20 ppm. To do this, add 1g of this 20.000 ppm stock solution to 1 liter of water.
It is best to use a small pharmacy bottle with a pipette for this stock solution.
Count the drops you need to get 1g (maybe 20 drops).
If you only need a 250 ml cup, simply add 5 drops and you have a cup 20 ppm.

BTW:
The volume of the solid substance is not suitable for the production of a reasonable solution! It is not just powder, but  frequent also small flakes.

The scales in the $10 price range do not give a consistent readout. Curious if I can just get a tiny spoon lol.
Some of these cheap scales have an auto zero adjust feature.  If you start with the scale reading zero, then add just a few milligrams, the scale thinks it should be zero, so resets it to zero.  Try adding a 5 gram weight but don't tare it.  Add your chemical to the scale with the weight on it, and it will not auto zero.
