From what I gathered, the meso is smaller than Ionic, but even
Marshall's paper explains/agrees that the color is due to larger
particle size.. So is it possible for someone to explain WHY the
meso has such a dark color... It seems contradictorily to what
they are stating about their product..
An ion is the smallest silver 'unit' possible but, in spite of what
Natural Immunogenics would like you to believe, its not a 'particle'.
Meso has the the smallest 'true' particles. The color is so dark
because (according to the Meso website)...
"true silver colloids that have a high percentage of the silver
content in the form of nanometer sized particles will absorb visible
light causing the apparent color to appear dark-amber or brown. It is
the very high concentration of particles, not large particle size or
contamination, that gives these products such color"
In other words, its not particle size that causes Mesosilver to be
dark, Its dark because those particles are packed so closely
together. (Incidently the above quote comes from the same FAQ on the
silver-colloids.com site that plainly admits that mesosilver's most
persuasive research, in favor of particles, was mistakenly based on
ionic silver NOT on so-called 'colloidal silver').
At the other end of the scale, Natural Immunogenics products,
Sovereign Silver and Argentyn 23, have virtually no particles at all.
It's all ions - thats why its colorless. No need to be unsure about
this. Its clearly stated in their own flashy Argentyn 23 brochure
that's aimed at the medical profession. Under the heading 'Safety
Parameters' (where they probably have to talk straight for a change)
it says "Argentyn 23 is composed strictly of silver metal ions and
ultra pure water". Can't get much plainer than that!
Natural Immunogenics probably make a good product but they are among
the most dedicated BS artists in the game. As a former advertising
copy writer I am truly impressed by the relentless effort they go to
to confuse everyone about what Sovereign Silver IS and ISN'T -
without outright lying. (Although sometimes they get pretty close
to outright lying. They used to claim their products contained a
magic ingredient called 'Energia' as I recall. Thats just plain snake-
oil language). I think the main reason they don't just admit it's
ionic, is because they don't want 'us' to know that we are making
virtually the same stuff at home.
