Can someone tell me if there are advantages in ionic silver over particle silver. I have read that particle is better. I have also read that particle is much harder to make than ionic.

Jessie,

The SOTA machine, like most other home machines, makes about 80% ionic and 20% particulate silver. Of course that assumes you use nothing else but distilled water and .999 (or better) fine silver wire. Having a stirrer makes the solution even better with a higher ionic content. The chances of getting argyria from this solution are about nil.... you'd have to drink gallons daily for many months for that to occur. Never add salt or anything else to the solution when you make it as you don't want silver chloride or any other silver salt to form. Argyria is usually caused by impurities in the silver making compounds that are toxic to the body or whose molecules are too large to be discharged and lodge in the skin as a result.
