The issue of ionic silver turning to silver chloride has been raised in the past. Salt in the body noted, Yet reports of positive effect also reported. No test done that I am aware of effects of silver chloride. As the mixes are not pure ionic is it then the particles that are having the positive effect or is silver chloride involved also?
