There is a debate on that. Since any produced by electrolysis contains both, it is difficult to know. It appears that both are effective at killing pathogens. But you said which does the healing, which implies you are speaking about the ability of silver ions to convert injured cells to stem cells (IE undifferentiate them). In that case it is the ions. Many here assume that the colloid will make it to be blood stream better because the ions are assumed to react with the HCl in the stomach and precipitate out, but there is no real data to back that up. Also it is believed that ionic silver may be better at penetrating the skin for topical applications, but once again there is no hard data to back that up either. So I believe that most, including me, believe that a combination of both particles and ions are best, each doing it's own thing to kill pathogens and repair tissues. > > 3.

Well a marketing term could be something like Silver Water, but I think that is already trademarked. Technically it would be ionic and colloidal silver. > > CS is not an accurate term to describe this substance, in a technical > sense, but it seems to be the generally accepted term in use. > It is correct for the suspended partical portion, just not the ionic portion.
