A colloid is simply a description of a state wherein particles are distributed thoughout a medium (solid or liquid) and the particles are of size range (1 - 1000 nm) which is too small to be considered a suspension and too large to be thought of as disolved. The particles may or may not be metalic, and may be electrically neutral or charged (ionic). Ionic particles are simply atoms, molecules or particles which have lost or gained electrons and are not electrically neutral. Some people use the term ionic to mean disolved elements or compounds (physics vs chemistry, organic chemistry vs inorganic chemistry) which just causes confusion.> There are many uncertainties revolving round this "gateless" gate: The Blood- Brain Barrier. I find there is relevance in what you have written to give it a physio-biochemical basis on colloidal silver. You will be helping me by giving a defination of : 1. Osmotic Pressure 2. Oncotic [ colloidal ] pressure in terms of atoms,molecules and particles of ionised silver i.e. to support the dynamics of cerebral-spinal fluid circulation.
