Hi Mary,
The people that are selling that want you to believe that ionic silver
is not as good as a colloid. This is not true. Ionic silver works very
well. There is the confusion because of the terminology, not to
mention the selling hype.
If you look it up, a colloid is a size term. Like mm, or inches- really
more like sand, silt, clay, colloid. These are all size designations. A
colloidal particle can be made of anything at all, just a small enough
size. You can buy colloidal oatmeal at the drugstore for your skin. So
a colloid of silver is a very small particle of silver. This is much
bigger than an ion of silver, which is one atom of silver. Tiny.
You are making ionic silver, which many on this list call Electrically
Isolated Silver, to distinguish it from the colloid particle silver.
In your jar there is probably 85% ionic and 15% colloid. The reason
being that ions do not like to stay ionic, and when they bump into each
other, they stick together, becoming a colloid. If you read Marshall's
info page, it is all explained there as well.

Advice on making colloidal silver
We do not provide advice on making colloidal silver at home. Many
companies sell colloidal silver generators and dozens of web sites
provide information for experimenters and home hobbyists. All the
machines sold for making colloidal silver use an electrolysis process
and make ionic silver. There are no machines sold that are capable of
making true colloidal silver. Please do not email questions seeking
advice on buying, selecting, using, or making this type of equipment,
we cannot provide any help, sorry.

Having recently purchasing a silvergen, to make my own EIS - CS at
home this struck me. This created some confusion for me, so I wanted
to get feedback from group members. Am I to understand that I am not
making colloidal silver at all? If not, what am I producing with the
silvergen unit.
Thanks,
Mary
