Hi Lisa -
I believe all of us home users with generators are making EIS
('electrically isolated silver' in distilled water). In order to make
actual CS (colloidal silver), someone here once mentioned that we would
have to buy $15,000 in equipment and have our 'lab' FDA approved!
The difference between EIS and CS is that the CS has more silver
'particles' (atoms) and less ions (silver ions have one electron missing
which allows it to bind with any other atom in our bodies). Whereas the
EIS we make at home has more silver 'ions' and less particles.
Supposedly, particles are not as easily assimilated by the body, whereas
ions are assimilated and completely bioavailable. Ingesting silver ions
as opposed to particles is comparable to getting your iron from a bowl
of spinach, as opposed to actually swallowing minute particles of iron
or taking an iron pill. The nutrients we get from the vegetables we eat
are in ionic form, for example. If they're ionic that means your body
can transport that nutrient wherever it is needed in the body, and then
get rid of any excess more easily. I don't think it is actually a raw,
heavy metal when it's ionic, and this is one of the reasons why if you
were to buy real CS, say like Mesosilver (a very high quality CS and the
only 'CS' that I have ever recommended), you'd take much less than what
you could or would if you took the EIS that we make at home with
generators.
There is also a debate in the CS/EIS comunity where the CS side says
that particles are better and more effective, and the EIS side says that
ions are at least as effective and better, but I don't think the final
results are in. I personally think it doesn't matter which you take, as
long as you take one or the other, but the EIS is much more affordable,
and probably much easier on the body.
If I've got any of this wrong, I'm hoping one of the experts here will
chime in and correct me. [grin]
