The test was done to see which is more effective....particulate silver or silver ions. Some argue that particulate silver is what kills bacteria since HCl renders silver ions less effective. The test showed that HCL had an effect on both particulate and ionic silver with ionic silver MORE effective on killing the bacteria.
At the very beginning of the page the researcher states emphatically that this cannot be construed as an in vivo test. -----Original Message----- From: Marshall Dudley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 10:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Study Shows the Effects of HCL (Stomach Acid) on Colloidal and Ionic Silver Not really. The amount of HCL added was far below the stomach content. Thus solubility was compromised since silver forms solubility chloride complexes at higher concentrations. Secondly, the test was done on a gel, thus activity was greatly influenced by mobility of colloidal vs silver chloride particles vs dissolved silver chloride. Third, there are not normally any bacteria in the stomach except when attempting to treat an ulcer or taking it for food poisoning, and what happens after it reaches the blood stream is most important for in vivo comparisons. So I am not sure what this test is to prove, unless it is to show the effectiveness of each product as a disinfectant on surfaces contaminated with hydrochloric acid.
