*How does it kill pathogens*
Now we are getting into an area that is not nearly as clear cut as the
above. That it does kill microbes, and disable viruses is a fact, but
how it does it is still up to dispute. The following are some theories.
1. Silver particles are an oxidizing catalyst
<http://silver-lightning.com/research.html>, and as such oxidize
pathogens killing them. This is how H2O2 works as well.
2. Silver interferes with the microbe's respiration
<http://www.alternativehealth.co.nz/colloidal%20silver/>.
3. Silver ties up or disables the sulfur in the microbe.
3. Silver short out the electrostatic fields in the cell
Most of the above would not apply to viruses though. Instead the
possibilities for disabling viruses are:
1. Silver particles are an oxidizing catalyst and oxidize the virus
killing it.
2. Silver causes the virus DNA or RNA to revert back to being
undifferentiated, and without the proper expression for that host is
disabled.
3. Silver repairs the broken (segment of) DNA of a virus, making it
complete, but no longer a functional virus which by design has an
incomplete DNA.

Basically if it interferes with respiration, then it must either be
interfering with an anaerobic respiration, or there must be other ways
that it works as well, since it is known to kill anaerobic bacteria.

One thing I've heard about for awhile regarding how CS works, suddenly
doesn't quite make sense to me.
CS appears to deactivate enzymes that microorganism use for oxygen
metabolism. True or false?
Because if it's true, then I have another question. What about
microorganisms that are _anaerobic_? This means they survive in an
oxygen-DEPRIVED environment.
Or is "anaerobic" merely a matter of degrees? In other words,
anaerobic microbes don't use as MUCH oxygen?
Could someone please explain this to me?
Many thanks.
