Does anyone have any info on how colloidal silver makers compare and or what and where to get?Bill Kingsbury <b.b.bb wrote:

The benefits of colloidal silver in the human body are produced by the nanometer sized

metallic silver particles not the ions. In fact, many researchers believe that silver ions cannot survive in the human for more than a brief instant.

This is because silver ions readily combine with chloride ions to form silver chloride, which is an insoluble silver compound.

Does that mean the ionic silver is 'bad'?" Not at all! While the highly reactive nature of silver ions prevents them from surviving inside the human body due to the chloride ions, silver ions are very effective if there are no chloride ions in the environment. Ionic silver has the ultimate surface area since a silver ion is slightly smaller than an atom of silver. The effectiveness of ionic silver is limited to areas where

there are no chloride ions present, which can mean many places outside the human body. Ionic silver is effective when used topically or when nebulized and inhaled. Of course, Mesosilver is also very effective for these same applications due to the large surface area of the silver mesoparticles. Inside the body, Mesosilver particles are not effected by the chloride ions and will circulate in the bloodstream for maximum effectiveness in killing pathogens. "also see:http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html" How To Test for Ionic Silver " To figure out whether a solution is ionic silver, you only need add chloride ions. Common table salt, which is sodium chloride, will do. If silver ions are present, the chloride ions will combine with the silver ions and create a white, cloudy appearance. Simply place 1-2 ounces of ionic silver in a clear glass. Add a few grains of table salt. Observe whether, as the salt dissolves, a white cloud of silver

chloride forms in the solution. If so, eventually, the entire solution will turn cloudy. If more salt is added, the white silver chloride will become denser until all the silver ions have combined with the available chlorine ions. If no silver ions are present then no white cloud will form. Here’s the rub: Some products will not make a white cloud of silver chloride when table salt is added because they contain no silver at all. Believe it or not, lab analysis has shown that some "silver" products actually contain no silver! ..."" The difference between silver ions and silver particles boils down to the fact that silver ions combine with chloride ions to form silver chloride and silver particles do not. ---

One of the best sites that I have found is www.utopiasilver.com for the CS and for colloidal gold. I buy the gold when it is on sale but I make my own silver. I have sent many people to the Utopia site and they have had a good experience with them. They charge $5 shipping and handling no matter what you order. Hope this helps. Easy and cheap to make your own.
