Re: Counterpoints - EDIT
EDIT - I see that you or a moderator took out the disgusting content that was originally in your post.
If you knew what you were talking about you would know that the reason they use a brown bottle is that is the type of bottle they use for all the colloidal solutions they make - and it IS advisable to use brown/dark bottles for colloidal silver, which was the first colloidal product they made. It has nothing whatsoever to do with masking the product, which is a dark purplish red in color. Colloidal silver, colloidal gold, colloidal copper - same bottles, different products and labels. Similarly, the use the same type of bottles for the capsule products they purchase in bulk and sell. Likewise they use the same containers for the colloidal silver, gold and copper skin and scalp bars.
An inferior product which has a wide range of particle sizes will also be reddish in color if even SOME of the particles are within the range you list. Reddish color by itself does not indicate that ALL or even MOST of the particles fall within that range, and it should also be noted that particles closer to 1 nm in size have much, much larger surface area per PPM than do particles closer to 20 nm.
If you knew anything at all about their production equipment you would know that it is state of the art equipment that far surpasses almost every other kind of equipment out there. Superior equipment and unique processes are the reasons that Utopia Silver and Purest Colloids are by far the two best colloidal solution manufacturers to be found. The equipment they use cost hundreds of thousands of dollars - and you don't have that kind of expense along with supplies, staff and overhead and sell something you make based solely on the value of the metal on a metal exchange market any more than you purchase a car based on the metal value. People use the same markup analogy when promoting home-made silver. Certainly making your own is an economical way to go and one's expense after equipment would be based mostly on the price of the metal. The downside is that you also get a mostly ionic product with larger particle sizes and an effective surface area that is hundreds of times less than the two best commercial products per PPM.
I note that you failed to mention any credentials which might give any of us reason to give creedence to what you have said, instead attacking me with slurs (now removed) as if that somehow would cause anyone to give you a shred of credibility. And regarding what you have said - especially before your post was changed - if your rudeness and ignorance are indications of what members here would find at the Yahoo group you keep touting, I would suggest they pass on your attempt to lure them to that site.
