Yesterday someone said to me, "If the CS that you are taking is working for you, it is the silver in the CS that you are taking that is being absorbed by your body, and giving you the benefit you say you perceive, not the ions. The body cannot absorb ions. The body can absorb silver. It is silver, not ions that is being absorbed into your blood stream. Either the CS you are drinking contains silver as well as ions or reacts with acids or whatever in your mouth or wherever in your body and forms silver. It is silver, not ions, that is absorbed by your body and goes into your blood stream and provides the benefit that you say you are experiencing." Any comments? PLEASE comment.
1. Are silver compounds apt or not apt to be formed as the CS comes in contact with whatever in the mouth or stomach? If yes, is this more apt to happen with freshly made CS than CS that is a month old? 2. If yes, is this why a manufacturer would prefer to "stabilize" the CS with a protein first? 2. Why do I read recommendations like, "Take CS in the morning before brushing the teeth with toothpaste." "Take CS on an empty stomach." Valid or not valid? 3. Would it be advisable to rinse one's mouth out before taking CS or brush one's teeth without toothpaste, just DW say, before sipping CS? 4. If silver compounds are formed as one sips CS, would there be certain kinds of food, toothpaste, etc that would be more contraindicated than others when you are close to CS sipping time? 5. Does diluting the CS in 8 oz of water play a role in this regard? If so, does it make a significant difference if you dilute the CS with distilled water vs using a water with more dissolved solids in it? Comments or opinions, please. -- Carlos LeClair
