Has she published any information specifically regarding silver ions? The interactions of metal ions with metalloproteins are not such that all metal ions are handled the same way and in the human body silver ions could be expected to behave differently than most other metals. There is no metal ion that has an attraction to chloride as strong as silver and chloride is the most prevalent anion in the human body. Blood serum typically consists of 3300 to 3900 ppm of chloride. The attraction of all other metal ions to chloride is weak by comparison to silver. frank key -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
