I am "assuming" this is basically the same for all bacterial infections and or 
viruses.


The Basics
CD4 and CD8 cells are white blood cells that play important roles in your 
body's immune response. Tests that count your CD4 and CD8 cells provide a 
picture of your immune system health. Along with your viral load, your CD4 cell 
count can help your doctor tell whether your HIV disease is progressing or not, 
and how well your HIV drugs are working. 

  a.. CD4 cells (sometimes called T-helper cells)
  These white blood cells help coordinate the various activities of your immune 
system. HIV targets CD4 cells more than any other kind of cell in your body. A 
normal CD4 cell count is about 600-1,500 cells. CD4 cell counts are often 
slightly higher in HIV+ women compared to HIV+ men (viral load in HIV+ women 
also tends to be slightly higher, relative to men, at the same stage of 
disease). CD4 cell counts usually fall as HIV disease progresses. 
  b.. CD8 cells (T-suppressor or killer T cells)
  There are two main types of CD8 cells. T-suppressor cells inhibit or suppress 
immune responses. Killer T cells attack ("kill") cancerous cells and cells 
infected with viruses. A normal CD8 cell count is about 300-1,000 cells. CD8 
cell counts usually rise over time in HIV+ people, but why and how these 
increases relate to the health of your immune system is not well understood.

  RE:

  "Ionic silver must be produced via electrolysis (via electricity ((anode + 
cathode))), and ions will suppress the CD4 and CD8 functions of your immune 
system."

  Citations?

  Well, if the above is tru, since CS cures such a wide variety of pathogenic 
conditions, then suppressing those functions must be a good thing.  

  Garnet, will you explain for us what the CD4 and CD8 function are?
