A question: "NO known use for the silver ion in human biochemistry." Emphasis added here.
Does anyone know if that is true? Also, does anyone have any hard cites on "Dr. Jonathan V. Wright's research has found that bacteria have an enzyme system that is disrupted by the presence of silver ions, causing the organism to die." And, how does Ag inactivate virons?

That may be because there is no known use for the silver ion in human biochemistry, which may in fact be the reason for its benefits. Dr. Jonathan V. Wright's research has found that bacteria have an enzyme system that is disrupted by the presence of silver ions, causing the organism to die. The effect is hardly a secret: water filters today are impregnated with silver to take advantage of the antibacterial effects. It was also commonly used as about the only hope against severe infections prior to the advent of antibiotics in the 1940's..." http://www.hsibaltimore.com/ea2002/ea_021017.shtml More CS references at HSI's site: http://tinyurl.com/52p9r Their e-alerts are equally refreshing, with the September 08, 2004 Issue explaining 'flu season'. http://www.hsibaltimore.com/more.shtml jr -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
