What about silver compounds? Say you have silver oxide/chloride/hydroxide in the blood...can silver in this bound state also kill germs by the same mechanism as metallic silver? ~David On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 12:29 PM, Marshall mdud...@king-cart.com wrote: Take a look at:

Ionic forms of silver which these are, are not catalytic. They do kill germs, but it must be by a different mechanism than as an oxidation catalyst. Marshall On 8/18/2011 4:36 PM, David AuBuchon wrote: What about silver compounds? Say you have silver oxide/chloride/hydroxide in the

I'm speaking not of silver ions that are ultimately liberated from these compounds...but of the silver while it is still in these compounds. So you really think silver can kill germs in this form? ~David On Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 1:59 PM, Marshall mdud...@king-cart.com wrote: ** Ionic forms of

Sure metal particles can do something. Silver particles are an excellent catalyst, and also kill germs on contact. That is why some water filters have silver metal in them. What particles do NOT do is cause injured cells to revert to stem cells for healing, that is only done by ions.

Everything I've read that gives a mechanism of action of silver killing germs has to do with an ion...oxidizing a cell wall...electromagnetically scrambling DNA...etc. Is there are known mechanism of action by which metallic silver particles kills germs? ~David On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 8:04 AM,

Yes, it is an oxidizing catalyst and oxidizes the germ killing it. Essentially the same mechanism as ozone or H2O2 therapy, but is not used up like they are. Marshall On 8/15/2011 1:19 PM, David AuBuchon wrote: Everything I've read that gives a mechanism of action of silver killing germs has

Thanks, I am going to read about this. The term catalytic converter comes up when I google oxidizing catalyst. I may ask more questions later. Interesting I know that ASAP claims their Ag4O4 has catalytic capabilities. Maybe I will figure out what that means soon too. I'm writing an In Vivo
