i don't know how it works. there are theories and some research in
vitro,
but we don't know the chemistry in vivo.
are there long term negative effects? there is no significant data of
deletrious
effects.
i continue to use it in the very dilute concentrations of the home-made
ionic style.
it works, but there are certainly questions about how and when to
deliver it most
effectively.
generally, the home-made ionic concentrations can be used for:
inhalation with ultrasonic or air brush delivery
misting of the eyes, nose, mouth and hands during periods of greater
social contact
mouthwash and tooth brushing
topical application specifically in a ratio of 1-10 dmso to silver
topical application is generally advised that it is advantageous to
increase the
concentration of silver solution if possible to the highest range of
ppm available
in your home-made system.
i make clear cs using my system of
home distilled water
and silver puppy generator.
i make small pint batches so far
sometimes when i decant the silver solution to a holding container it
turns yellow.
this is not a problem for mouthwash or topical use.
internally or with the eyes i prefer the clear stuff. don't have any
evidence one
way or the other on this.
if my batch discolors due to minute adulterants in my decanted
containers i can
restore clarity by just a few drops of food grade h202.

Is there a difference in the basic cell walls between the two?
If not, then the effect must be coming from something that happens
inside
the cell.
I believe also that I have read that silver is capable of entering the
nuclear membrane of eukaryotic cells and attacking pathogens therein.
I don't think anyone knows how it works.

Subject: Re: CS>Method of action of colloidal silver?
From http://health2us.com/colloid.htm?adword=2 :
"The biological effects of silver are apparently due to reversible
bonds
with enzymes and other active molecules on the surface of cells. Due
to its
sulphydryl binding propensity, biologically available silver disrupts
membranes, disables proteins and inhibits enzymes."
This is an interesting statement but there is not documentation so
take it
at face value. If it were true that it disabled or inhibited
"enyzymes" it
would in fact do so to mammalian systems and cause problems. Since it
there
is no sign of that happening, I belive this statement to be of limited
value
in answering this question. More specificity is needed.
I emailed them for clarification or documentation.

Hello friends,
I am looking for a good resource explaining what colloidal silver does
to kill bacteria. Does it inhibit protein formation? Inhibit cell
wall formation? What is the method of killing action?
Any information or links, please send directly to [email protected]
Thank you,
Bryan
