Del, I must disagree with some of your statements below. The rule of no light arose I suspect, because of the once prevalent practice of using salt as a starter in the base water. Some amounts of silver chloride are generated in this case and is, like most silver halogens affected by light, turning dark and falling out of suspension. Pure silver colloids are not so affected as can be readily demonstrated. Keeping colloidal silver clear from magnetic fields occured to somebody as a wise precaution no doubt, and the precaution became widespread. I have had no problems with this myself, in any of the various colloids I have tested. Colloids which are large tend to fall out of suspension over time, but CS ranging from gold to clear appears to be very stable, indeed I have 10 litres of light yellow CS at 20ppm which is now over 2 yrs old, and which shows no deterioration at all (kept in plastic, I might add). The idea that bioavailability is based on particle size is in error, in my opinion. As I have stated before, the colloidal particles need to be ionised to free independent ions to be absorbed, and all enter the body system the same size no matter what size they started out at. Generally the smaller the particle is, the better, if only because its stability will be enhanced, however the charge on the particle has a great deal to do with stability also (zeta potential) and it is my view that the LVDC method, under controlled conditions, can develop more ion clusters than HVAC methods, and may have enhanced stability and lead to easier dissasociation in the gastro-intestinal tract. The issue of concentration is only of concern in petri dish experiments, as 2 teaspoons of 5ppm CS carries the same amount of silver as 1 of 10ppm and so on. Also, in these experiments I have seen evidence that well made LVDC CS outperformed leading brands of HVAC CS by some margin, probably due to its higher oxidising potential. In sumary, it is my view that well made LVDC colloids are at least as stable as their HVAC brother, and are just as bioavailable. Once in vivo all colloids are the same, that is, all are ions.
