Sadly, the explanation provided at the website is a bit vague, to put it nicely.
The antimicrobial nature of silver ions was identified as being due to the oligodynamic effect. This was discovered in 1893 and not limited to silver. Ions of mercury, copper, iron, lead, gold and other metals also have shown this affect. I'll pass on the ions of mercury, copper, lead and so on. Silver works just fine for me and has very little, if any, toxicity. I don't think the mechanism by which metal ions are antimicrobial have been 100% determined, but....'Data from silver suggest that these ions denature enzymes of the target cell or organism by binding to reactive groups, resulting in their precipitation and inactivation.[2] Silver inactivates enzymes by reacting with the thiol groups to form silver sulfides. Silver also reacts with the amino-, carboxyl-, phosphate-, and imidazole-groups and diminish the activities of lactate dehydrogenase and glutathione peroxidase.' -Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligodynamic_effect No mention of transporting oxygen. I looked up 'Exetec' but all I found was that Exetec is some sort of IT support consultant group. I'm suspicious of Marantech. Took some doing but I did find that it had been incorporated in either 1999 or 2005 in Providence, RI. Annual revenue of Marantech appears to be about $140,000. Employees total - 2. And Marantech seems to have disappeared from the map. Further looking revealed the following: Tetrasilver - Not! What ever happened to the Aids cure Tetrasilver Tetroxide (US Patent #5,676,977) which you commented about a few years ago. The company marantech is gone from the net and all discussion has stopped. Response from Dr. Pierone Although the company appears to have vanished there was a small study reported last year from Kinshasa on Tetrasilver Tetroxide (Imusil). Here is the link. Actually not all the news was bad. Of the 3 subjects treated, one had a false positive HIV test with a negative HIV viral load at baseline this subject appears to have done quite well after treatment. The other 2 subjects who actually were infected with HIV did not so well with a consistent increase in viral load following Imusil. My advice is to be skeptical until there is some verifiable events that are reproducible regardless who performs the testing. None of this stuff where the only people testing the stuff are the ones selling it.
