I don't know that to be true, but consider the following: Are the Ag ionic crystal bonds greater than the attraction of the chloride ion? I think it must be so. If not, then there is no particulate silver in the body once the Ag particles hit the HCL in the stomach. There is the complex transport theory. But for the transport substances to work with particles there must be particles-charged--, but not ions to start. It seems unlikely to me that the transport complex theory, which must release the particles later for them to function, must be a looser bond that that which will occur with Cl, and if the complex and Cl are competing for the Ag, the Cl will surely win. I'll bet Frank and Ivan will have a better explanation of these issues, should they be interested. Which do you think is more reactive; a small crystal of silver metal with a positive charge [the origin of which I do not understand] or a monatomic silver ion missing an electron?

Another project for someone with the time and equipment. >> James: Well, if THAT were correct, why is Frank warning us not to mix chloride salts with CS, particularly when you consider that, according to Frank, it's the silver PARTICLES that provide the germicidal activity?
