Jason, Thanks for setting me straight on the protein stabilizers. From what you're saying it was not a good idea for me to suggest these are safe. I'll hope that others know more about this as well. Would it be reasonable to assume that some stabilizers are okay and others are not? If so, which? Reid
Jason said: Reid: I don't think everyone is in agreement that concentrated CS is an "impossibility"... I think people have misunderstood language. A high PPM colloidal silver DOES agglomerate. That doesn't mean that that it ALL does, this is simply an observation made by those who seek a high quality product, who have rejected high PPM silver because of the large particles. If you dilute a silver product with large particles, the particles are not going to become "magically" smaller on their own. Based on this, a 5 ppm silver product that was initially a 500 ppm would only go one place in my household: The garbage - unless I had an external use for it. People are NOT referring to silver oxide production, when speaking of agglomeration. While it IS true that when the reaction speeds up, a byproduct of this is the "sludge" AND "sparklies", this is a seperate issue. Where do you get the idea that protein "stabilizers" with silver are not harmful? You ought to take a look at some datasheets for mild silver protein. Also, this language use is difficult at best: Where is the line drawn between a stabilizer and a compound, when a company is marketing a product? Why will they never disclose the formulations? Why will NONE of these companies answer direct questions? If you hadn't noticed I'm not pleased with these marketing companies. They are single-handedly jeopardizing the use of silver as a natural supplement. They are giving the FDA every reason to take further actions against all silver products. When you tell someone a stabilizer is safe, you are risking their health and well-being on very serious level. You are giving them the impression that silver is not a toxic substance in the human body. While your own understanding may be great, theirs may not. They just might see something like silver acetate, a "stabilized" silver product ( though of course not a protein )and assume it is safe to use. If one wants to dilute and use silver proteins properly, then there really is no problem ( although I see no benefit ). In fact, if you want to dilute and use cyanide in the same manner, there is no problem. But to claim that cyanide is safe in the human body would be misleading! I can make orange colloidal silver with the nine-volt battery method easily. It just involves paying attention, holding the "silver rods" close together, and pulling them out very often to clean. You watch the visible silver between the "electrodes" carefully, and adjust the distance between the two. You move the rods around the "water" to "manually" distribute the silver in the solution. The end result is by no means a stable product, and I have no idea of the concentration. Occasionally ( very occasionally ) I will make such a substance for external use. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
