I gave up on the commercial preparations years ago.
They got progressively weaker as time has progressed
from their introduction. I suppose this was from fear
of lawsuits on account of the possibility of argyria.
I make my own and it still works. I find that the stuff
you can buy no longer has any effect or any color unless
they add a dye to it. It takes less time to set up and
make your own than to drive to the store to buy it. I'm
of the opinion that the commerical producers lie about
the concentration. I think you're just buying an expensive
bottle of water with virtually no measurable silver in it.
I forgot to add something. Unlike gold, the colloidal silver
would react with the salt giving silver chloride, so maybe
another electrolyte would be necessary, or maybe no electrolyte.
The rate of conversion from silver to silver chloride would
depend on the pH of the solution.
If it works by RF resonance with the colloidal suspension,
maybe a high specific gravity insoluble heavy metal compound
would do the trick. It would have to be a highly polar compound
to react with the RF polarity reversals and easy to make
into a colloidal suspension with uniform particle size.
I nominate bismuth oxychloride for this purpose, mostly because
I'm familiar with it's behavior. It's heavy, cheap, easily made
into a colloid and won't likely be consumed because it's
already oxidized. Just a suggestion.
