Mike's severely snipped quote:
[What's generically been called "colloidal silver" seems to encompass
every damn thing anybody has ever bothered to put in a bottle.]
-I recommend you read this part over and over till it is well understood.
[Do what most of us do, and buy or build a basic colloidal silver
generator]
-This would be the best way, you'll know exactly what EIS you have then.
[Thus, any product made this way is going to end up with some of both
the ionic and colloidal forms.]
-Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
[Most of us try to make a relatively low concentration "CS" or EIS that
will generally turn out to be 10 to 30% particles and 70 to 90% ions.]
-This is generally true, but in my experience if you build your own generator
this 'ratio' could differ slightly, depending on how the generator is
constructed, and possibly in combination with the methods used to produce EIS.
In my experience, using my own equipment and production methods, I have gotten
this ratio closer to 50/50.
My experimentation and observations have led me to consider which particular
type of solution to use for any given situation, best of both worlds if you
like, ions for internal use, particles for external use, or vise versa
depending on an individuals interpretation of which is 'best', or what 'works',
this assists me in deciding what type of solution to use at the time, and this
incorporates 'colour' for me also.
[Back to marketing hype: People will claim that either ionic or
particulate (colloidal) silver is the part that's effective, and that
the other is less or not effective.
Others will say the particulate part doesn't work and that it's the
ions that do the job...]
-This sort of ties in with what I explained as a personal observation in the
above few lines. Perhaps I could suggest you read "The Body Electric" by
Robert O Becker and "Colloids in Health and Disease" by Alfred B. Searle, I
feel sure you won't regret doing so.
[Every case of argyria we know of has involved higher concentrations and
chemical salts or other compounds or protein-based preparations, if the
cause is known precisely at all.]
-I recommend you read this one over and over till it is fully understood also.
[In any case, we're all guinea pigs and lab rats, experimenting on
ourselves with little or no guidance from "proper authorities." In
other words, we're all on our own.]
-Never truer words were spoken!! I'm using myself as a, 'case study' if you
like, ingesting a quantity of EIS every morning before breakfast, and have been
doing so for several years. You will need to be careful of who you consider
the "proper authorities" would be Mike speaks of here, I suggest it would be
prudent not to stray too far from this site though. <g>
[I'm sure if I've left anything out or made any mistakes others will
dive in with their corrections and additions. That's the way this place
works! <grin>]
-Snap!
Neville.
