The multiclump atoms are self repelling, and thus do not tend to aggregate in the tissues, and become stuck. They are also not light sensitive as compounds of silver are, which is essential for argyria to develop. I am going to try an experiment when I get a chance. I will soak some tissue in both silver nitrate and colloidal silver and expose to light and see what happens. I bet the silver nitrate tissue turns dark and the CS one does not. How can the CS reduce to metalic silver? It is already metalic silver. Marshall >>
Marshall: I can only quote Ivan with regard to the mechanism of silver absorption into the body. My background is NOT in physiology or related fields so I can't comment further. If others, versed in the appropriate fields would like to contribute their thoughts, please do. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
