As a newcomer to the less-than-simple CS scene, I have been intrigued over the recent debating involving Messrs Quinto, Key, and Anderson - ions or particles - which are best in vivo? Perhaps there is another aspect that might alter the equation (including the solubility product equations Roger Altman has laid out for all). Just came across one web site promoting "ionic silver"
http://www.feel21.com/cgi-bin/feel21/11221.html that claims the real key to long lived silver ions in the body is complexing, in their case with citrate (plus potassium; ie potassium citrate?). Perhaps that might equally effect "biodelivery" for particles as well. Any knowledgeable folks with an opinion? sincerely, Kevin Nolan
