the test used in the article someone posted was the same method as
this, and *they* reported that all organisms were killed. How come? dee

I gave some Colloidal Silver solution to an old friend of mine that I
met at a reunion who happens to be a microbiologist. I happened to
have some CS with me and he was intrigued with it and said he was
willing to do some tests of it's effectivity. I have included his
response below. If anyone has some suggestions on how to test it
properly, please let me know. Also, any relevant reference as well.
He says:
"I tested the colloidal silver solution using the methodology that we
use in the lab to test standardized antibiotics. I created a lawn of
bacteria of known density on agar plates, and then placed a drop of
the silver solution in the center of the plate, which then diffused
through the bacteria and into the agar medium. None of the 9 most
commonly encountered organisms showed any zone of inhibition. The
organisms I used in this experiment were E. coli, E. coli (ESBL),
Staph. aureus and MRSA, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Moraxella cattarrhalis, Group A beta Strep, and Streptococcus
pneumoniae.
Those tests were run by me back in 1999, and reported to this list 10
years ago. The tests are correct, CS will not kill anything on agar
plates. This is a known fact, and is how we realized WHY CS has little
or no effect on bacteria in the intestines. We ran tests on broths, and
agar plates. There was 100% kills on the broths and 0% kill on the
agar. The reason is simple, colloidal silver has to be mobile to find
and kill pathogens, on the agar plates it becomes fixed and immobile,
and thus is unable to contact or kill anything. This is not new news,
but simply confirmation of what we already know.
