Silver Chloride still kills the germs, though, right?  When you mix a sinus 
rinse with colloidal silver and a salt, that's what you'd get.  My daughter 
does this once or twice every day but isn't blue yet, either.

There is a difference between in vitro and in vivo performance of ionic silver. 
Ionic silver should always perform better than silver particles in in vitro 
tests because a significant portion of the ionic silver has not been converted 
to silver chloride by the stomach acid as it would in vivo.  Depending on how 
you perform the tests you can have them confirm just about anything you want. 
Steve Foss first pointed that out to me but I didn't have enough of an 
understanding at that time to understsnd it all. I am not saying that anyone 
biased some tests but how one views the ionic vs particles issue can mislead 
them if they are not careful. 
Admittedly my 60/40 ionic to particle ratio is just a guess but I think it 
might be conservative on the ionic and not the particle side.

I have been lead to believe that 80% ionic to 20% colloidal is the best 
percentages to have.  Trem has provided an article which claims that  Natural 
Immunogenics (who make Argentyn 23) actually did in vitro tests that proved 
that ionic is the most efficaceous.  This is the mix that most of us make on 
this list I believe, to consume on a regular basis that is.  This is the mix 
that works for me and all the other people I supply.  I think that Argentyn 23 
is outrageously expensive too though. dee
