I'd give Liz Smith at Silver Wings co. a call at 800-952-4787, & ask her to send you info. on it's history, usage, and technical qualities. It's free for the asking, and the most detailed I've seen. If you want to private email me I can email you some info I have also. One of the keys, is that it should look like weak tea, not clear like water. The stronger it is, the darker due to light refraction physics. Also, keep not hot nor in the refrigerator, in glass only, and in the dark. That way it'll last about indefinitely. In short, it acts against all(single cell) bacteria and virus by catalytically interfering with their oxygen pump cycle. That is to say it does not enter into any chemical reactions, and thus produces no toxic compounds or other side effects. It also is ok to use with any Rx you may be using, and no over dosage of an electrostatic based vs. salt compound has ever been reported. The salt compound of silver, which Silver Wings Co. does NOT use, can cause graying of the skin in humans. [the above is not a medical recommendation, etc, etc..] Take care, Gary & the gang [Posted in FML issue 1515]
