I happened to have some CS with me and he was intrigued with it and said he was willing to do some tests of it's effectivity. I have included his response below. If anyone has some suggestions on how to test it properly, please let me know. Also, any relevant reference as well. He says: "I tested the colloidal silver solution using the methodology that we use in the lab to test standardized antibiotics. I created a lawn of bacteria of known density on agar plates, and then placed a drop of the silver solution in the center of the plate, which then diffused through the bacteria and into the agar medium. None of the 9 most commonly encountered organisms showed any zone of inhibition. The organisms I used in this experiment were E. coli, E. coli (ESBL), Staph. aureus and MRSA, Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Moraxella cattarrhalis, Group A beta Strep, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. "I have to google the subject as I am surprised that there was no inhibitory effect what so ever at the dosage level direct from the bottle you provided. I am wondering whether in vivo there is another mechanism utilized that is not demonstrated by my plate technique. I'm interested in knowing more, so if you have some references please pass them on."
