Frank: Just to see if I understand your position correctly, and also to ask a few questions:
The "colloidal silver" that most of us make with home generators is about 85-90 % ionic, as is much of the CS that is sold commercially. Your argument is that the silver ions combine with chloride ions in the body very quickly and that the resulting combination has no (or less?) antimicrobial utility? The admitted fact that these products ARE effective in combating viral and bacterial infections is therefore due to the action of the 10-15% of the solution that is particulate? Is that correct? If the consumption of ionic CS results in silver chloride in the bloodstream, wouldn't this create a greater danger of argyria? I have heard repeatedly that consumption of silver salts, such as silver chloride, WILL cause argyria in time - yet consumption of primarily ionic CS does not seem to do this. You have stated that there is no proof of measurable ionic silver circulating in the bloodstream, but is there proof of measurable silver chloride? Is there proof that the silver ions convert so quickly to silver chloride in the bloodstream and that they remain in that form? If I understand correctly, the product you produce is primarily particulate, consisting of very very small particles of silver. People who have used this report that it is very effective, but is there more danger of argyria from this product? Or are the particles so small that they are easily transported out of the body? Any studies on this? I saw an email from Jason a while back (where is he by the way? I have not seen anything from him in quite a while.) that concluded that nobody really knows enough about the action of CS in the body to be certain whether silver ions or silver particles are more effective, and that it is probably good that what most of us use has both. Apparently you disagree, but do you see any actual harm in using ionic CS, other than its (supposed) lesser degree of effectiveness? Just wondering...
