Thanks sol,
This is far more detailed information than I was given way back when. Now the question is Does CS behave the same way in our bodies as it does in the Petri dish? What other factors are present that may cause some differences? I love my CS and use it for many many things, but it would be helpful to know the hows and whys when talking to skeptical friends and family.

I would have said that *anything* even 5ppm will kill on contact. That is the key word 'contact.' If EIS comes into contact with pathogens it will kill it, whatever the ppm. Its just that the lower amounts means there is less of it to come into contact. dee

I think it takes some time for the silver ions or particles to contact "all" the pathogens, even at higher ppm. Hence the results of the time/kill studies at
http://www.silvermedicine.org/colloidalsilverstudytexas.html
The UT studies used two concentrations of SilverKare, 15 ppm and 30 ppm. Both took some time to kill the pathogens tested......though the times were not extensive. Perhaps I misunderstood the poster who says 10 ppm kills "on contact" which is colloquially used to mean "instantly". As the above studies show, even 15 and 30 ppm CS take a measurable fraction of time to do the work. And with s. aureus, with 15 ppm CS even after 15 minutes there were detectable bacteria present.
