I am not convinced that ionic silver forms silver chloride in the
stomach. For one thing HCl, stomach acid, is only relesed when eating,
its purpose is to provide the optimum acid pHh for the stomach enzymes
to work on. But if there is no food there or digestion going on there is
no HCl secretion.
[ Not true....the pH of your stomach contents is always acidic...meaning
there is HCl present eating or not. Of course more is secreted when you eat
something, depending on the need. ]
Since no one has done in vivo studies of the stomach environment when CS
is added and actually measured / detected silver chloride I do not buy
this theory out of hand. Besides why is my home made CS so effecitve
were this to be true.
{ First, pure CS would not form AgCl. And, only the CS is effective
therapeutically.}
As well why is my mostly ionic CS so effective in food poisoning if this
is so.
There is more to an in vivo chemical reaction than merely
extrapolating from in vitro studies. Way more, other wise we would not
ever have to use live animal models for any studies.
{This doesn't make any sense to me.}
Last month I got sick on some spoiled lamb steaks, before the end of the
meal I had to rush to the bathroom, almost passed out several times from
the cramping. I told my husband to take some CS NOW so he would not get
sick, he got only mild gas. I drank a cup of CS as soon as I could and
my food poisoning passed quickly, but not before leaving me in a curled
up sweated heap on the oh so cool bathroom floor. It took me a few
minutes to get up, after cramping that hard, so hard I had to have my
husband hold me up so I could remain seated on the toilet. Not a pretty
story but if CS turns into silver chloride when food is in the stomach
WHY did it work for my husband?
{Because the ionic silver is doing nothing for you except if too much is
taken, the AgCl could be toxic...It doesn't even have the osmotic effect
that soluble salts have because it is in solid form) It causesminimal
problems because there are few ions in the body that can take the Cl off the
Ag ion once it is attached. The effect you are getting is from the
Colloidal silver...not the ionic silver.}
Too many questions and way too many assumptions being made about what
those ions actually do in the body.
( I agree that we have to make assumptions some times...but chemistry is
chemistry....and these reactions occur. Actually it could be easily tested
by having someone who gets sick and vomits...vomit in a bottle, filter this
and add CS and watch for precipitates. As long as they aren't vomiting from
achlorhydria this should be a valuable test. Point taken.)
