A website given to the list, http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/02/05/new- guidelines-released-for-safe-usage-of-colloidal-silver- supplements.aspx says:  "Please be aware that most all “colloidal silver” generators sold for home use produce ionic silver solutions, and not true colloidal silver."

 Is this true of my 12vdc system?

yes.


It also says:
"Because of the high concentration of silver particles, true silver colloids are never clear like water. True colloidal silver with a sufficient concentration of particles does not look like water because silver particles -- even very small particles -- block light from passing through, making the liquid appear darker."

Mine is always clear but has a mild but distinct metal taste, especially towards the bottom of the bottle. My thinking is that my 12vdc system makes both colloidal & ionic silver.  

yes, that is probably true. 85% ions, 15% particles. What he says about the size of the particles vs effectiveness is probably not true, because an ion of silver is the smallest possible size there is, it is smaller than a particle.

Any comments?

Thanks
