  Hi James,

  Good question, but it's impossible to predict. We simply  don't know
  how silver ions act in the body, and everyone  responds differently.
  I even  notice  differences  in my own  response  depending  on many
  things, such as how much sleep I get, or the kinds of things I eat.

  But based on a hypothetical situation where everything is  equal, my
  own humble  experience suggests that holding 1 oz of 20 ppm  in your
  mouth for  ten  minutes and spitting it out, is  far  more effective
  than drinking  8 oz of 5 or even 10 ppm cs. (Note the  average human
  mouth holds 1 oz, or the amount in a typical shot glass, and  my ppm
  figures refer to the ionic portion and omit any oxide content.)

  I went  through the calculations some time ago, and  I  believe 100%
  sublingual absorption would result in 70 parts-per-billion of silver
  in the  blood  stream  in a typical male.  This  is  extremely small
  amount, but  I think the reason it works is it hits  the bloodstream
  all at  once, before the kidneys have time to start  eliminating the
  ions. Note  it  is very unlikely that 10 minute  contact  time would
  result in 100% absorption or even close to it. So the  actual amount
  in the bloodstream is probably very much less.

  Note I  do  not subscribe to the silver chloride  theory,  where the
  ions are converted to silver chloride as soon as they  encounter the
  chlorine ions  in  the  stomach or  bloodstream.  The  body requires
  minerals to be in ion form to be absorbed, and I seem to  recall 30%
  of the  proteins  in  saliva   are  metalloproteins  that  allow ion
  absorption. There are many different buffers in the bloodstream, and
  numerous other processes that facilitate ion transfer. We  would die
  without them.

  So if the ions were converted to silver chloride in the bloodstream,
  it is  highly unlikely such a small amount would have any  effect on
  the stronger viruses.

  Also, if  the  silver  was converted  to  silver  chloride, probably
  everyone who  drinks  large quantities of  cs  would  have developed
  Argyria like Stan Jones. However, to my knowledge, no one  who takes
  ionic silver has ever developed any form of Argyria.

  Also, Roger  Altman's study showed a considerable portion of  the cs
  he ingested  was  eliminated in the urine. The only way  it  can get
  there is  through   the   bloodstream.   Since   silver  chloride is
  practically insoluble,  I  believe   it   remains  in  the  body and
  contributes over  time to developing Argyria, like what  happened to
  Stan Jones. Here's Roger's study:

  Note most of the above is pure guessing, since I am not  a biologist
  and barely understand some of the terms I used. But I found high-ppm
  sublingual absorption  works much better for me and  my  friends. So
  give it a try and see which way works best for you.

Best Wishes,

Mike Monett
