Sounds like he's made silver citrate by electrolyzing silver in a citric acid solution. Don't know if that's a good idea or not, but I do know that ascorbic acid is not absorbed at the cellular level unless it's in a mineral ascorbate form, which is the form created in the livers of the other 99% of mammals on this planet (besides humans and guinea pigs) that make their own Vitamin C. Alycer makes a powdered product called Emergen-C which is all mineral ascorbates (no silver) plus B vitamins, and it appears to be quite effective in my family. So maybe silver citrate or silver ascorbate is an interesting idea? Anyone know for sure?

I asked the inventor if this was a colloidal silver solution, and he replied that his solution is a compound and is not colloidal silver, and yet the claims he is making sounds exactly like the claims for colloidal silver. Is the citric acid contributing to germ kill according to your knowledge?? Or is the citric acid there so he can claim his solution is unique... Also he claims that his silver is in very low concentrations in the ppb parts per billion. I kinda thought this guy just basically had a colloidal silver type product, but I see that water purification company named Innovative Medical (stock symbol PURE for anyone who wishes to read the recent press release) has announced an affiliation and distribution agreement for silver based purification and a wound cleanser. There is also a health care supplement available using ionized silver and citric acid. Hasn't someone commented on effects obtained when taking colloidal silver with orange juice?? I would be interested in hearing from you knowlegable listers. Someone must have heard something about citric acid being used in combination with ionized silver. Thanks in advance, Cindy
