Mike.
    Thanks for the explanation. I do have a question on dose of homemade 
silver. In the past I was taking a silver hydrosol by Natural Immunogenics 
which 
was a clear silver and was a reputable source with independent lab assays.I was 
told the particle size was in nanometers and could only be produced in the 
lab and therefore safer, more consistant and more efficient. I was told by 
Stephen Quinto (the president of the company) that homemade produces much 
larger 
particles, requiring much more to be consumed with larger risk for agyria.I was 
informed that 16oz. of homemade silver equals approximately 1 Tb.of Argentum 
23 (ppm). I took 4 Tb/d which was the maximum suggested for 2 months. I had no 
improvements in the chronic lyme which invaded my scalp muscle and has 
affected my entire musculoskeletal and circulatory system. I know now I need a 
multiple approach but am concerned how much homemade silver is adequate for a 
chronic deep illness based on the info I was given.At the conversion rate I was 
given it means taking 1 gallon/d to equal the efficiency of the lab produced 
version. A medical doctor actually told me if I was his patient he'd be giving 
me 
10,000ppm of mild silver prtotein at 16oz./d of Invive silver. He told me you 
need to have a high level sustained in the blood to be effective and reach 
muscles and tendons. I did not attempt that protocol. I was also informed about 
the Argentum IV silver( the only one approved ) but can not afford it.Let me 
know your thoughts. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Georgia
