I don't know about the exact number but if you look in virtually any scientific encyclopedia you'll find that silvers antimicrobial action has been well known for a long long time. "Kills 650 [or more] pathogens" is most likely accurate...in a test tube. even at concentrations of 1 PPM. Silver products have been used for water treatment for a long time.
But "kills 605 pathogens" is not the same as "cures 650 diseases".
 Delivery is the key. It's gotta it get TO them critters somehow.
 The body is not  test tube.

 The only "cure all" magic bullet is the one you got shot in the head with.
 Everything else is a treatment with relative degrees of successful results.
 If the results are 100% elimination of causes, it's called cured.

CS does help in many cases where nothing else did even if it didn't "cure". [and sometimes it does cure]

Slow down Jay. I know someone once said that CS kills over 600 different pathogens. It has been quoted over and over by unscrupulous CS manufactures, but I don't think the statement has ever been qualified. The statement is probably true, but I've never seen references to the actual lab tests.

It's most likely a bad marketing tool. When you see statements like "KILLS OVER 600 DIFFERENT PATHOGENS" on someone's web site, assume they are selling sewer water. If they lie about their claims, they are probably lying about their product. Ask the people who put this crap on their web page things like:

Who made this study?
When?
Where?
Where is it published?
What strength of CS was used?
What specific pathogens?
Was a control group used?

If someone really spent the time and money to obtain, grow and kill 600 cultures of different pathogens with CS wouldn't you think that it would be published in a scientific journal?

Pretty bold statement....but I can understand where your comeing from. No CS
is not a cureall and neither is a medication. There is no all-porpose cure,
but what medication do you know that CAN kill over 600 different
bacteria/virus and fungus?
