Isn't that *colloidal* silver?
Nope, very likely he had no colloid at all, he was using tap water or adding salt, don't rememer rwhich. Either way, he was producing silver compounds, not colloidal silver. > The fact > that the particles were very large doesn't disqualify > it from being 'colloidal'.

Mr. > Jones did indeed drink colloidal silver, and he > apparently has argyria. He most likely did not drink colloid. As long as there is ANY choride or other elements in the water that will react with silver ions, no colloid will be produced.

We need to specify that EIS has to made with distilled water, otherwise it is just compounds of silver. Marshall -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
