In that case I believe I read the section on catalytic effects of
colloids earlier this week, to which I refered above. I will re-read it
but I think it bares no relevance to the action of CS in vivo.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are driving at.

That is a catalytic reaction.
In any event all this depends upon the state that silver appears in the
body.

OK, thanks.
