Hi V. EIS (electrically isolated silver) is what we make at home with generators, but is oftentimes also the kind that is commercially sold and called colloidal silver. I read here some time ago that the only way to make real CS is with a FDA approved lab and $15,000 worth of equipment (!).
What I understand is that EIS has over 80% silver 'ions' and under 20% silver 'atoms' or particles. Whereas CS has just the opposite at over 80% atoms/particles and less than 20% ions. A silver ion has a positive charge and is more easily absorbed and assimilated by the body because it is smaller than a silver atom and is missing an electron. That allows it to pass through cell membranes or to attach to other ions. The atoms in CS are larger and cannot do that unless they are broken down first. Whole silver atoms/particles carry a negative charge, and may not be processed, assimilated, broken down or eliminated as well as silver ions, and this is probably why the dose one takes of actual CS must be so conservative (usually 3 tablespoons a day). We don't have to worry so much about the dose we take of our EIS because silver ions are easily transported (via metalloproteins), absorbed and eliminated and are bioavailable in the same way and form as the nutrients and minerals you absorb by eating your veggies. I don't think you can overdose on iron by eating alot of spinach, for example, because the iron you are getting in that way is in ionic form. I always thought it was an interesting fact that silver is the best known conductor of heat and electricity there is. Seems to me that may be a deeper explanation of how CS and EIS up our immune systems and heal so well. Since our bodies are made up of atoms that are in essence, energy, in the form of heat, light and electricity (positive and negative charges, electrons), silver as a conductor must speed up and facilitate its flow and transmission. Anyway, I hope I got all of this right. And that it helps. Jodi [email protected] wrote on 3/18/2007, 10:30 AM: > Hi Jodi...thanks for the reply. > EIS is the same as Colloidal Silver?
