I have only been doing this for a year or so, but I also have not read anything suggesting a supression of the immune system. I wonder if he is thinking about the old usage of the term, which is about a finely ground suspension of metallic silver, which is a far different thing than we take. A powdered form of the metal can be poisonous and/or lethal if ingested or inhaled in concentrated form. This is true of many elements.

I usually take mine in the am on an empty stomach, a mouthful, held for 10 minutes; then one or 2 more times a day, not with meals. It does not interfere with my digestion, and there really is no real reason I like taking it that way. It just suits me, is all- I feel that it goes into the bloodstream thru my mouth better when it does not have to compete with other things. I am also in the habit, for some years now, to take probiotics when I feel like it as a part of a weekly routine.

Most people I have talked to that have not used it really don't know what they are talking about, just heard this or that, or their info is way out of date. If you are more concerned, you could ask him for a reference, or where he got the info.

I was on another site for pets and it was posted that CS could interfere with the immune system.  Here is a portion of the quote:  I recently asked a well known pharmaceutical and nutritional biochemist about colloidal silver. He expressed caution because colloidal silver can actually suppress the immune system.
 
Since we are using CS/EIS I wanted to check with those that have more experience than we do to see if this if factual.  It also bring up a question I have about taking CS with food.  Should you stagger taking CS to take on an empty stomach?  Does it effect digestion?
