>>"Taken together, these facts may be of utmost importance to the human body's
>>strategic use of silver with the plethora of endogenous ROTS ( Radical
>>Oxygen Toxic Species ) and antioxidant pathways. In other words, if silver
>>intervenes with pathogens as an ion associated within WBC generated ROTS,
>>the thermodynamic attributes of the ROTS may enhance immune efficacy that
>>utilize ROTS to autolyse pathogens, such as: OCl-, the peroxide cascade, NO,
>>superoxide radical, etc. On the other side of the equation, mammalian tissue
>>contains antioxidants that tame such ROTS, such as cysteine, selenium,
>>glutathione, vitamin E, etc.
>>a.. And finally we must consider what happens after our inherent tissues'
>>antioxidants reversibly quench silver. At the starting point, a pure silver
>>ion or colloidal silver aggregate with zeta potential binds into pathogens
>>or tissue by losing its charge. In cases where human WBC antioxidant levels
>>are adequate, the deceased pathogen may be phagocytized by a megakaryocyte.
>>Within the immune cell, this process may be reversible when certain
>>antioxidants are present such as glutathione, selenium or
>>N--acetylcysteine.40 This allows for a potential recycling of the metallic
>>silver particle back into a silver ion, which in turn can thrust another
>>available silver ion at a prospective pathogen, perhaps freed by the immune
>>cell upon respiratory burst, or by integrating within its strategic
>>intracellular ROTS cascade autolysing phagocytized pathogens. Previous work
>>done with silver sulfadiazine showed it did not have a significant impact
>>upon neutrophilic respiratory burst at clinical dosage levels.41 However,
>>the product selected in this study appears to possess at least several
>>orders of magnitude greater potential, due to its smaller particle size and
>>dispersion. Further work needs to verify this theory regarding this
>>product."
>>
>>I agree with your summation of the origin of MSP, and its historical use.
>>However, it hard to predict what would, or would not happen, with MSP used
>>orally.  It does, from every end user report that I have seen, maintain at
>>least of measure of effectiveness.  I've also, however, received more
>>reports of strange side effects from MSP than anything else out there, and
>>one shouldn't think that there is a "risk" of Argyria; there is no "risk";
>>when used as directed by some of these companies, one will get argyria.
>>Some MSP providers suggest a very low dosage, which keeps silver intake
>>below EPA-RISK established toxicity levels.  However, users seldom follow
>>the instructions, and I question whether or not a drop of mild silver
>>protein @ 750 - 5000 PPM would be effective via oral use.
>>
>>I find it very hard to speculate on isolated silver's action in the body;
>>what exactly transpires which allows highly ionic CS to maintain
>>effectiveness.  Concerning the "modern chemistry view" of what happens to
>>silver upon ingestion, there really isn't one.  I have not been able to
>>substantiate the basic statements like ionic silver is converted to silver
>>chloride, end of story, when I've had brief opportunities to pose the
>>question to qualified organic chemists.  Two told me that they could think
>>of a dozen possible reactions in-vivo that would possibly explain maintained
>>bioavailability of silver ions, but that speculation really wasn't that
>>valueable without extensive study.  It would be nice to find an organic
>>chemist that could -- and would -- do the work!
>>
>>Silver ions have a have life of seven seconds ( or less ) in the
>>bloodstream. This is a good point.  However, anectdotal evidence suggests
>>that at some point, the "silver ion" may again be liberated.  It's hard to
>>say one way or the other, but the mounting evidence suggests that there is
>>more to the story than silver ions becoming silver chloride.

>>I wonder if the original purpose of MPS is

>>Crooke invented MPS in 1910-1913 and it
>>wasn't for stabilization during storage before
>>being dispensed. If I am reading Searle
>>correctly, Crooke wanted CS to be stabilized

>>page 56 of his book that chlorine ions
>>contribute essentially to the stabilization

>>gastric HCl protects CS, rather than destabilizing
>>or destroying it. It seems counter to familiar

>>colloids are a separate physical state, not

>>I would like to know more about your reference

>>Your quoted material from Dr Savely Yurkovsky
