Okay, educate me here please (anybody not just Jim)! Tell me what is real and what is false (to your knowledge). 1. What is the difference between "ionic" silver and a collodial suspension? 2. I've heard of generators being the 27VDC type (with or without putting a VERY small bit of sea salt in the distilled water), the 180VDC units, and the 10,000 VAC units. Does this cover it? 3. All generators use 99.99% silver electrodes, these could be silver wire or silver bars or bullion "rounds", am I correct? Only stipulation is that ONLY the silver is in the distilled water, connectors have to stay above the water to avoid contamination. 4. The container should be either glass or stainless steel or a special type of non-reactive food grade plastic. To me, glass seems the easiest/safest. 5. The AC units run at 60 cycles per second. 6. The germ killing power of silver is from the abiltiy of silver to interupt an enzyme process common to all anaerobic bacteria? 7. Silver has no effect on viruses? 8. Silver is also effective on fungi? 9. Colloidal silver has a biological half life in the body of about 3 days? Any other basic info that I'm missing here?
