>From the tests some of us have run with CS and salt, it appears that indeed the ionic silver reacts with the chlorine producing AgCl. The most convincing test is to add salt to clear CS and observe the precipitation of something which appears white or milky, and the clearing of this precipitant when ammonia is added. AgCl is white and is soluble in ammonia. So I guess the problem is one of magnitude. If you have 10 ppm of CS/ionic, and the ionic becomes silver chloride, you still only have about 8 or 9 ppm max of silver chloride. If you make the cs with salted water, the amount of silver chloride produced is only limited by how much salt is in the water, although the amount that can be dissolved is still only about 10 ppm or so. But that begs the question. How does silver chloride, which any in excess of 12 or so ppm, must be undissolved, make it into the blood stream. I think it important to determine if perhaps silver chloride dissolves in HCl. And if not, does blood contain anything that would increase the solubility? We know how to easily produce a precipitant of AgCl, and how to see if it dissolves in anything. I have sulfuric acid, but not sure I have any hydrochloric. If I do, I will try to run that test over the weekend. I will also try it with baking soda, which is the primary base in the blood that makes the ph over 7.
