FW: CSpositive silver ions and negatively charged bacteria
citrate it releases the silver ion which then destroys the pathogen. Some general thoughts: * How many silver ions are generated by a silver particle in vivo? 5? 10? 100? 1,000? 10,000? My guess is that it isn't a lot. If you were to place some powdered silver in slow running water, how long would it take for it to convert to silver ions and rinse away? Is this a fair question? * If you had two separate silver solutions, both 10 ppm. One is pure silver particles around 40 nm in size. (a quite small size) And one is pure ionic silver. Then for each 40 nm silver particle in the silver solution there would be roughly 1,000,000 silver ions in the ionic silver solution. If only 10% of the silver ions successfully passed into the blood stream you would still have 100,000 silver ions for each silver particle. If 1% passed you would have 10,000. If only 0.1% passed you would have 1000, ...

RE: CSpositive silver ions and negatively charged bacteria
Relative to bacteria, from Wikipedia: There are two main types of bacterial cell walls, Gram positive and Gram negative, which are differentiated by their Gram staining characteristics. Gram positive: Teichoic acids give the Gram positive cell wall an overall negative charge due to the presence of phosphodiester bonds between teichoic acid monomers. Gram negative: In addition to the peptidoglycan layer, the Gram negative cell wall also contains an additional outer membrane composed by phospholipids and lipopolysaccharides which face into the external environment.

RE: CSpositive silver ions and negatively charged bacteria
just to add a bit of clarity here, the stain which defines Gram positive and negative were developed by a man named Gram, and the 'positive' and 'negative' do NOT refer to the electropotential of the bacteria, but to the method's discoverer, Hans Christian Gram.
