There is a good reason for us to get away from the name "colloidal silver." Any form of silver in water with the silver suspended can legitimately be called "colloidal silver." That allows smart marketers to manipulate the already confused consumers with the argument that a high PPM is desired. You could take a silver Maple leaf coin and incase it in enough foamy stuff to make it float in a liter of water and claim to be producing 32,000 PPM colloidal silver. And that would be true. The term Nano means one in 1 billion. Pico is one in 1 trillion. If we insist on referencing the name to a size, then we probably should stick to Nano. The size of the silver atom is about half of one Nano. That is defined by the van der Waals radius of about 251 picometers. While I don't have any evidence to support this, I would theorize that if two silver ions became any closer than 1 nm apart, they would succumb to the van der Waals' weak bonding force which turns neutral molecules into a lattice. Why not settle on the term "electrically isolated silver." It adequately describes what we are trying to make with the low voltage DC. How successful we are at this can be measured by the percentage of particulate to ionic content. It should also be entirely clear. We are long past the days when people thought it wasn't colloidal silver unless it was sufficiently yellow. Good riddance. https://www.goldismoney2.com/threads/the-art-of-making-colloidal-silver-electrically-isolated-silver.61973/

Products sold in a shop may be classed as nano, but our stuff could/should be termed 'pico'? This is one snippet defining 'pico-silver'... "Pico-Silver Solution is a dietary supplement that is used on an as-needed basis to support the structure and function of the immune system. Pico-Silver is a unique (95-98% biologically active silver ions) stabilized ion of silver prepared from 99.99% pure elemental silver and measuring in the picometer range." Something to think about I guess. N. From: PT Ferrance <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 25 January 2019 12:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Nano silver Thanks, Nevile.

Is the EIS we make the same as nano-silver? I'm starting a protocol which does not recommend silver in any form except the nano silver because it "...colloidal silver depletes the protein ceruloplasmin which runs the ferroxidase enzyme in the body which regulates iron." I'm clueless here. Thanks. PT
