I take exception to that statement. I never told Jodi Waldman or any else that ionic silver was basically useless. What I said was that silver ions will combine with chloride ions in the human body and form silver chloride which is comparatively speaking far less antimicrobial. Only the percentage of silver that is in the form of particles will survive in the bloodstream and it is this silver that performs the work of killing pathogens. > He seems too smart to me *not* to know about metalloproteins and how they bind the silver ions > for safe transport throughout the body. I am aware that companies that produce ionic silver products make such a claim. If such a mechanism actually worked for silver ions, why has no one ever been able to demonstrate the existence of silver ions in the bloodstream beyond the most minute concentration. We challenge anyone to find measurable ionic silver circulating in the bloodstream after ingesting ionic silver. If ionic silver were in the bloodstream it would be detectable using an Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) instrument. It is a simple experiment to perform; after ingesting ionic silver, draw several blood samples at 30 minute intervals and do the ISE test. I have asked the person who makes the statements concerning metalloproteins why ionic silver can not be found in the blood stream and he has no answer and refuses to discuss the issue. > Why doesn't the FDA appear to be restricting or harassing Professor Key or his company's presence, > sales and claims online? Our company is registered with the FDA as a manufacturer of dietary supplements and as such our manufacturing facilities, laboratory, processes and procedures have been fully inspected by the FDA. The most recent inspection was in November 2003. The inspector was present two full days and found no violations. We are even in compliance with the proposed FDA regulations that have not yet been enacted into law. Given all the companies that make ionic silver products it would seem that somewhere there would be at least one individual or company that would step up to the plate and demonstrate that their product can actually get into the bloodstream. Where is the proof folks?

He told me that ionic colloidal silver - the type of CS that is made by all home CS generators, was basically useless according to his laboratory dish studies because silver ions bind with sodium inside our bodies and become silver chloride, which is ineffective. His position, and his credentials, dissuaded me from believing I could buy a generator and make effective CS myself at home. That - was before I joined this list, learned otherwise, and had a weird feeling about the whole thing. I didn't get the impression from Professor Key that he was being dishonest when I spoke with him, but he does sell Mesosilver, which is brown, mostly silver "particles" and therefore, according to him, the only type of silver that is effective inside of the body, as shown by his out-of-the-body laboratory dish tests. Professor Key may really believe what he's saying, but then again, maybe not...(?) He seems too smart to me *not* to know about metalloproteins and how they bind the silver ions for safe transport throughout the body. It would certainly serve the pharma-cartel and FDA's interests if people didn't believe in ionic silver's effectiveness, wouldn't it? Because then everyone would buy a generator and stop getting sick, and conventional antibiotics would become obsolete. Why doesn't the FDA appear to be restricting or harassing Professor Key or his company's presence, sales and claims online? Is that another "Hmmm..." ?? Gee, I don't know. Maybe I'm just going off the deep end here. Just ignore me. (I mean no offense Professor Key - if you're out there. Just dismiss me as a paranoid conspiracy theorist.) : http://escribe.com/health/silverofftopiclist/index.html List maintainer: Mike Devour -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
