I keep hearing that: once silver ions hit the salty stomach or blood, they become silver chloride...
But, something was already x-chloride in both stomach and blood -- sodium chloride? So what does silver do? Push the sodium aside and take over the chloride ions? How does it do that? And what happens to the sodium ions? Or does an excess of positive ions of whatever kind go unmatched with the lesser number of negative ones? Help!

I was skirting this because it is a secondary issue. Silver ions are very active and will form compounds with the first substance it can. Silver ions do not survive the digestive system as free ions. They probably react with stomach acid to primarily form silver chloride. The silver may also react with other substances such as ammopnia to form other compounds. But they do not remain as silver ions. - Steve N ________________________________ From: poast <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Fri Feb 05 16:03:24 2010 Subject: Re: CS> Hello Steve, OK, I am beginning to understand. I have looked at the Altman paper, but have not studied it. I will take another look at it, in detail. If I may present a somewhat weak argument... Doesn't it stand to reason that if you take more, you will not only ingest more ions, but also more particles. Perhaps the elimination through the kidney is just because there is more of both in the body... Back to the books, for now. Thanks.
