OK, I can buy that.

But we are talking about CS, which are charged clumps. If they don't have a charge, they drop out of the colloid, and will not be drunk. If the clumps do become ionized (how they got there I have no idea since they will not be present in CS that has had any time to settle), they then become charged, and thus identical to CS particles. So you are saying that there is no reaction, but it will break the particles apart into the atoms? This comes back to my original experiment, where I cannot get the CS to lose its tyndall when added to HCL or nirtic acid. I do not see any action taking place. Does this not imply that the particles are NOT being broken down? Also if you take CS and add an acid to it, it tends to aggregate and the particles become larger, not smaller. This has been discussed here several times before. It is a problem with mixing with aloe vera, which I have found has to be neutralized with baking soda first to make stable. I know what mechanism makes them aggregate. What mechanism do you propose that would mke them do the opposite? Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
