unless I am missing something CIC, what your are saying is being agreed upon by Sirius, GRZ and ML in terms of oxidation
but they are saying that you should NOT do it with copious amounts of silver
oxygen (as that in oxidation processes) is an alkaline element, therefore it alters pH...and has a negative affect on lower life forms (ie pathogens), therefore killing them/balancing their populations
this is the SAME as MMS, H2O2, and ozone...they all increase alkalinity and in terms of MMS also carry a specific electromagnetic energy (frequency) that apparently does a very good job of killing pathogens (again, they cannot survive these electromagnetic energies released, if I remember right citric ACID is used commonly to REACT against MMS)
