I believe that the reason you could not get a reaction with HCl and most importantly with HNO is because you already have ionic silver, that is clumps of silver ions. You can't ionise something that is already ionised. I do believe that particles of metalic silver will be ionised in the acid stomach environment, and that clumps of ions will be broken apart, but I doubt that at low pH that silver will combine with Cl- to form the silver cloride molecule, much in the same way that silver nitrate in solution is not combined in molecules but exists as free silver ions and free nitrate ions. > > > > Here is one reference I posted a month or so ago > > http://www.chiro.org/places/minerals.shtml > > > > So you are taking a site that says: > > Silver: questionable as a single-dose antibiotic, consistent intake of > silver accumulates in the blood-forming organs - spleen, > liver, and bone marrow-, as well as the skin, lungs, and muscles.

So the guy doesn't know much about the wonders of colloidal silver, but he does know about the absorption of minerals. What he says about the effects of silver is documented, it just requires mega doses to achieve. Silver is less reactive than most minerals it is true, but it is not like gold as evidenced that little free silver is found in the ocean. > > and you might like to read part of a message (below) I sent in July... > > you must have missed it. > > > > I didn't come to this position lightly...it was only after 6 mths of > > biochem and biology lectures that my suspicion firmed...and it seems to > > me that we may as well hold the correct method of silver absorption > > because it is fundamental to understanding the anticeptic action and > > fate of silver in the body.
