  Dear Rob,

    I found an explanation on one website that coincides with what I 
understand about the mechanism of CS.  There is a lot of good information 
there, but please keep in mind that the statements are not always sourced, 
and that the website is in the business of selling their product.  Here's the 
quote:

"The presence of Colloidal Silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any 
other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its 
chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and 
dies and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination 
systems. 

Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enzymes, Colloidal 
Silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact as they are radically 
different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Thus Colloidal 
Silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled 
living matter."
