On a non-CS list a person asked if ionic and colloidal silver were the same and the following answer was posted, with link: <snip> "No, Ionic Silver is already in an active form...Colloidal has to be broken down into ionic form which is the active part--it's a hit and miss proposition because of the "distraction" of active ionic particles so one has to take alot if using Colloids to overcome the "distraction" issue of the particles not reaching the desired destination. Feel free to read my website info. at http://www.arrowheadhealthworks.com/ Go to the Products link and scroll down to Silver 100, click to bring up the info. page." <snip> The material refered to isn't that easy to find using the above link but http://www.arrowheadhealthworks.com/SILVER.htm will take you there directly, not that there is much to read. Any comments? I'm perfectly happy with my home made CS, but when someone starts saying that they have something much better I like to know why. Is it legit or hype?. I don't understand "distraction issues" (except political ones;-). Can anyone explain this on laymans terms? Thanks, Ron KC7ZWA >>
Ron: I believe CS is made up of clusters of silver atoms with each cluster statically charged, much like a woolen cloth is statically charged when rubbed against similar material. If one prefers to refer to these charged clusters as ions go ahead, but I believe there is a distinction between such clusters and SINGLE silver atoms EACH having a missing electron as one would find when silver nitrate is dissolved in water. So I don't believe that, for example, LVDC methods produce IONIC SILVER. However, if an arc is generated with the HVAC method, it IS possible that nitrates are also produced along with CS. In this case, individual silver ions could be associated with nitrate ions much like dissolved silver nitrate. This is the only process for CS production where the term "ionic silver" has any meaning IMHO. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
