Gentleman:
I am a layman and this is a bit out of my territory. I should note,
however, that in my various and sundry readings about CS, I learned
that silver nitrate is deadly. Why in the world would anyone be
considering using that in vivo? Or did Quinto care only about in
vitro results? I apologize for lacking time to read this myself just
now, but I wish to make sure list members are aware of the toxicity
issues, as I initially was not.

Hi Jonathan,
Steve Quinto has a misleading pdf article on his web site claiming
it shows how silver ions attack bacteria. However, in the first or
second paragraph, the authors clearly state they are working with
silver nitrate, which is not the same thing. See
"A mechanistic study of the antibacterial effect of silver ions"
http://www.natural-immunogenics.com/pdf/3.pdf
I don't see any discrepancy. Silver nitrate when dissolved in water
splits
up into silver ions and nitrate radical ions. So they are correct (as
I
would expect in a peer reviewed paper), the only problem is that they
could
have difficulty removing any of the effect of the nitrate radical ions
from
the tests.
That is a very interesting article.
