A discussion has arisen on my equine list regarding ionic silver and
silver particles. I know that this has been addressed on this list in the
past, and my memory tells me that it was agreed that home-made CS is
composed of both, and this is a good thing. I submit the following link
which seems to disagree. I hope that someone (or several someones) will
check this out and tell me what you think. Thanks. MA

Typical ionic silver products contain between 3 and 20 ppm of ionic silver
which would not cause argyria.
Ingestion of highly concentrated forms of ionic silver (100 ppm and above)
may cause

permanent discoloration of the skin.
** OK, Just try making 100 PPM "ionic" silver with nothing but water and
silver. [Can't do it.] It goes colloidal after around 20 - 30 PPM
[Once it stabilizes... and you can't stop it from stabilizing ]
The process makes it's own anions.
You CAN make an 'ionic silver *compound*' up to thousands of PPM [like
Silver Citrate ] But Silver Hydroxide and Silver Oxide compounds won't
dissolve to that concentration and you can't make anything else with only
water and silver [except metallic silver particles].
If it's not dissolved, it's not ionic.
If it's not dissolved and it's in the water [vs sinking to the bottom] it's
colloidal particulate.
You can scavenge the anions as they form with Peroxide and make pure
metallic particles out of silver ions. [Not sure how that works, but it
does.] Keeping them small enough to stay suspended as a colloid...well, I
dunno how.
Silver nano powder isn't brown.
