That is a basic condition of the whole area of study, re: CS. Nothing that's studied and found in journal articles bears much resemblence to what we're making and using. In fact, what we do have is many years and many people's personal, anecdotal experiences plus limited clinical results, along with various experiments by amateurs and the occasional professional or semi- professional. Among the consensus results is that "true colloidal" and "ionic" both seem to work very well. Remember that "ionic" silver will a) complex to form metallo-proteins in the saliva during sublingual absorption, and b) form silver chloride in the stomach, which in the small quantities involved is largely soluble, thereby remaining bio-available and active. If it's the minority colloidal component that makes "ionic" silver successful for so many, then so be it. It's also not caused problems when made properly and used responsibly. Of course, that situation may change, just as we've finally seen cases of argyria for people using archaic recipes using a bit of salt brine as an accelerant, to add to other known cases from concentrated silver salts, silver proteins, and other silver compounds. Blanket statements that particulate is good and ionic is bad are likely as incomplete and inaccurate as their opposite numbers. Be well, Mike D.
