Not a safety issue at all. I believe that most of the ionic silver is rendered inactive by the stomach acic and silver particles are not. However a significant amount of ionic silver passes through mucus membranes and is possibly the most effective of the silver. So you want sufficient ionic silver to pass what you can through the mucus membranes and the rest as the smallest silver particles you can get. - Steve N

Is that what the controversy is about? I’m just curious, learning about silver is all very new to me.

First, the price is $36 for 8 oz. IMO that is high. You can make your own for about 1/100 of that. Second, the high ionic content, 95%, is too high. Some ionic content is very desireable but, again IMO, you should try to keep it to less than 60% if possible. If you make your own EIS you can increase the percentage of silver particles to as much as 60 % by adding a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to the EIS you make. I should let you know that ionic silver vs silver particles is a controversial subject. If you choose to buy colloidal or ionic silver rather than make your own several other good alternative sources for colloidal silver (high silver particle content) are: * Utopia Silver - $24 for 8 oz @ 20 ppm * Mesosilver - $25 for 8 oz @ 20 ppm - Steve N ________________________________ From: Tara McClintick <tmcclint...@fuse.net> To: silver-list@eskimo.com <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Sat Aug 22 13:55:24 2009 Subject: CS>Silver/Autism/Safety Hello, I am new to this list. I am looking for information regarding treating my son with silver – specifically Argentyn 23. A nutritional expert has recommended this product for my 13 year old son. I was given info. about this list as a place to find out more info. Any experience? Risks? Thank-you, Tara Tara McClintick www.booksbytara.com
