Hi Silver List.
Taking Colloidal Silver by mouth (and with food) raises the point of
metalloproteins.
"Your saliva has over 200 different proteins and fully one third of body
proteins are metalloproteins I.E. carrying metallic ions. Thus, reactive ions
(missing one or more electrons) can be transported past the stomach and thru
the circulatory system without local reactions, ie Silver Ions reacting with
chloride ions to from Silver chloride.
Metal ion substitution permits even a zinc metalloprotein to take up the silver
ion and release the zinc ion. The free, ionized zinc, which would be toxic if
permitted to accumulate, binds to a metal regulatory element on the promoter
region of the metallothionein gene and "turns on" the synthesis of more
metallothionein.
Metallic ions, either free or disassociated from dissolved soluble salts are
absorbed and isolated by ligands in the saliva, usually metalloproteins. (The
main reason you are meant to chew your food well). Metallothionein (MT) is a
relatively small molecule that binds heavy metals including silver, cadmium,
iron, copper and zinc, and is made by most cells in our body.
MT's production can be induced in the intestinal cells where it is thought to
help keep us from absorbing a lot of toxic heavy metals such as cadmium. MT is
also thought to be involved in the regulation of the cellular concentration of
the essential minerals copper and zinc. The lining of our blood vessels is made
up of a specific cell type called endothelial cells. Whereas the intestinal
cell is the first barrier to the absorption of minerals, the endothelial cells
are the secondary barrier to getting minerals into our tissues and organs. "
Cells are constantly pumping ions in and out through their plasma membranes. In
fact, more than half the energy that our bodies consume is used by cells to
drive the protein pumps in the brain that do nothing else but transport ions
across plasma membranes of nerve cells. This same process is used throughout
the body.
How can ions be transported across membranes that are effectively impermeable
to them? Cells contain proteins that are embedded in the lipid bilayer of their
plasma membranes (which are also Colloidal in nature) and extend from one side
of the membrane through to the other. Such transmembrane proteins function to
effect ion transport. "
I apologize for the cut and paste, however, I have little time for writing at
present and the issue of Silver Ions/Silver chloride has resurfaced.
I have known too many people with Terminal Cancer alive today that used
Colloidal Silver produced by low voltage DC Generators (90 % Silver Ions) who
are neither blue nor dead after being given months to live.

Steve
PS Silver Ions can also be sub lingually absorbed.
PPS Also Google the Ammonia Hypothesis
