Consider Saline Solution. a 1% saline solution, dissolve 1 g salt in 99 mL water. Different % can be made. Although "water" is not identified it is understood to be "pure" medically and scientifically speaking you want WATER to be 99.99% purity. That is the benchmark. That means almost universally that water is distilled which simply means as pure as pure can be.
A saline solution stabilizes the body in an emergency such as blood loss. Water affects the blood volume as it does celleur contents. The affect on blood can be immediate and on celleur structure insidious. Water affects the pH systems of the body. the pH of urine, sweat, lymph, stomach, intestines, blood , different cells, are all different. To what degree of affect there is, is dependent upon the degree of purity of water in a specific encounter. What is needed for you - a specific unique individual may be different. But without a "benchmark" no one IMO, would be able to determine anything. The effectiveness of what goes in as well as that which comes out can only be determined when all the variables are know. CS can be determined to be effective because there is only silver and distilled water. Of course the effectiveness may be due solely to distilled water ! More than not it is probably due to the combination of the two. (or three: hydrogen oxygen, silver; as specific electrical charge (s) ) two studies that may highlight differences of "water". Remember most bottled water contents unspecified amounts of salt and "pure" water Induced sputum: comparison between isotonic and hypertonic saline solution inhalation in patients with asthma. isotonic saline solution (0.9%) inhalation as a means to induce sputum by comparing it to hypertonic saline solution (4.5%) inhalation.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd =Retrieve&db =Pub Med&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11742907 Wound Irrigation in Children: Tap Water or Saline Solution? http://www.aafp.org/afp/20040101/tips/17.html A total of 14 wound infections were equally divided between patients in the two groups, with no differences based on the method of repair. There was, however, a significantly increased risk of infection in foot wounds irrigated with tap water. The authors conclude that tap water might be as effective in preventing bacterial infection as sterile normal saline solution for simple wounds in children. The overall wound infection rate was 2.9 percent, which is comparable with other studies. There is an assumption that tap water is free of any significant pathogenic bacterial counts. Other potential advantages of tap water irrigation include the following: (1) decreased cost, (2) ready availability, (3) reduction in biohazard risk to health care workers, and (4) decreased patient anxiety because of the absence of a syringe from the procedure. The increased risk of foot infections in the group irrigated with tap water has uncertain significance and might not persist in a larger trial. Water, is our lifeblood. Opt for clean rivers, streams and oceans.

If this is so, then I could see why distilled H20 with CS would be able to get to the source more efficiently. Sally -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
