Thanks, Marshall. That is exactly what I wanted to know.

Here is the website that is the reason for the question. This company says they sell "real" colloidal silver.

Ionic and particulate both kill pathogens. Ionic promotes healing and prevents scar tissue by allowing injured cells to revert to stem cells. Colloidal helps prevent argyria by providing seeds for the silver compounds that are eventually made in the body from ionic, something to plate out on. Best is a combination of them both, with about 10 to 20% being colloidal.

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.
