Hi list,
Some thoughts regarding how silver would perform in the stomach
envirionment.
I do not enough about the purported benefits of Colliodal silver vs. ionic
silver, but I suspect ionic silver is friendlier to the body because all
minerlas are transported into the cells by ionicelectrical transfer. In the
case of ionic silver (silver combined with some anion such as chloride,
sulphate, nitrate, etc) the silver ion is already formed while the collidal
has to undergo that transformation. This tranformation may or may no take
place as rapidly as some think.
In the stomach as the parietal glands produce HlC on demand, there should be
a number of competing ions that react with the acid. The acid will react
preferentially with one ion over another depending on several factors, the
most important of each being the relative concentration of each ion. The
higher the concentration of the cation, the higher the amount of that salt
being created.
If there is an abundance of sodium over silver the acid
will react with sodium and not with silver.
Whether ionic, unreacted silver remains in the stomach waiting for depletion
of preferential ions or utilizes anohter transport system, I do not know.
However, knowing the silver ions do penetrate the oral mucosa, it makes a
lot of sense to bypass the stomach-liver combo and try to force it via this
mucosa. Simply swish the dose inside your mouth for a couple of minutes
(remove all metal-bearing dentl fixtures) and then swallow. I have not seen
any proof of mucosal absorbtion but the ionic size and charge suggests that
silver would traverse handly.
Regarding mercury fillings, I don't remember at this time, whether silver
has a greater electropotential than mercury, I believe it does in which
case, concentrations of mercury in the mucosa (very harmful otherwise)
should not displace silver.

Well let me see here, jsut for an analogy when you put salt in water you
get a bunch of chlorine ions and sodium ions floating around in the
water, it is no longer technically salt' as the ions combine with the
water molecules in various ways.
I wonder if the same thing goes for silver. as long as it is in some
kind of solution the atoms remain in an ionic state separate from each
other and then combine into a salt when the water is removed. just a
thought

silver particles do not.
I'd like to point out that silver is superficially attacked by
hydrochloric acid. If isilver particles don't produce silver
chloride, what does it produce (in the stomach or in a test tube)
when exposed to the HCl in there?
