Marshall, thanks for your thoughtful remarks. You are
right, there may be a reaction taking place.

Interesting. I wonder if it is dissolving, or reacting. tetrasil is a pretty
strong oxidizer, and DMSO is easily oxidized to MSM. Also the silver would have
a pretty good affinity for the sulfur in DMSO as well, although silver sulfite
is nonsoluble..
Maybe some should get evaporated back and see if you still have tetrasil
left. If it does indeed dissolve in DMSO, it might be a good way to apply it
topically, provided it does not end up staining the skin permanently.

Hello, Marshall, I tried to dissolve tetrasil in DMSO a week or so ago.It
didn't seem to work, as I mentioned in the earlieremail. But after letting the
mixture sit since then, itnow appears that a noticeable amount of the Ag4o4has
dissolved in the DMSO, judging from the changein color of the fluid. Best
regards, Matthew

I wonder how the heck they can give it by IV then? It certainly does
not seem to be easy to use if it is insoluble, that pretty well eliminates
ingesting it. Can it be made to form a colloid I wonder.
I wonder what happens if you mix silver nitrate and potassium
permanganate:
4AgNO3 + 4KMnO4 -> Ag4O4 + 4KNO3 + Mn
perhaps? Potassium permanganate is pretty easy to come by.

Hi, Marshall, I'm not sure of the reaction. But my samples of
tetrasilseem to be insoluble in water. Perhaps the Ag4o4precipitates from the
reaction and can be isolated bysuccesive centrifugations and washings, or other
purifyingmethods. I also found Ag4o4 to be insoluble in DMSO.Tetrasil topical
ointment is mixed with jojoba bean oil,but separates easily in water or DMSO.
Best regards, Matthew

Is this the reaction?
4AgNO3 + 2K2S2O8 + 4H2O -> Ag4O4 + 4KNO3 + 4H2SO4
4AgNO3 + 2Na2S2O8 + 4H2O -> Ag4O4 + 4NaNO3 + 4H2SO4
It is the only reaction I could come up with that balanced properly.
If so, what does one do about the potassium or sodium nitrate and sulfuric acid
produced?
Thanks,
Marshall

Hello, Marshall, Tetrasilver tetroxide, Ag4o4, is a product of a
reaction ofsilver nitrate with sodium or potassium peroxydisulfate. Ithink this
was disclosed in the Antelman patents. Matthew
