Shelly,
CS and antibiotics do not cancel each other out. This is definitive.
You can take it to the bank.
I do have a question or two for all you shinolas out there in
Listland. What is the usual metabolic fate of CS? How long does it last
until it is oxidized to Ag+ ?? And then does it preferentially form an
oxide (thereby making it an excellent redox catalyst), an ionic salt (e.g.,
to Cl-), a ligand, lock on to any endogenous chelating anions or diols &c.,
or is it simply snatched up by albumin or other protein? Or even by GSH
(reduced glutathione)? How would it attack various microorganisms of
interest--especially those that are cell wall deficient? What about the
odd oxidation states of Tetrasil (+2 and +4) as the oxide and is it truly
antiviral? Silver salts can be reduced into several allotropes. Is there a
difference in physiological effects? I can give a pretty good guess at
some of these answers. Is there anyone else out there who'd like to sort
it all out?
