Although the common wisdom is that CS only kills bad bacteria, testing that we have had done at the University of Tennessee over the last few months indicates that this is incorrect. We found that CS kills both aerobic (good) as well as bad (anaerobic) bacteria pretty well equally. Since many bacteria can convert between the two types at will (polymorphic), this is really a plus.
What we found was the CS is only effective when in a liquid medium, ie. in the stomach, or blood stream, or applied topically in liquid form. If we used CS in a gel or solid matrix (ie. agar agar), it was basically ineffective against all bacteria, good and bad. That is apparently the key as to why it seems so effective for so many things, yet does not appear to cause significant problems with the natural bacteria in the intestines. Also of course if the particle size is small enought, most of the silver should be absorbed into the blood stream before it reaches the intestines, although we have done no testing to verify that yet. For the reason why we believe this is so you might be interested in reading a research paper I wrote at http://silver-lightning.com/research2.html Marshall Michael Giammarino wrote: > If CS kills both good and bad bacteria, if one uses CS routinely, > will he have to continue to supplement his body with good > bacteria.
