Whoever wrote that is making it up as they go along. They have run no
tests at all, I and others here have, and the results are that colloidal
silver kills both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria equally. That they say
one must wonder why says it all, they have not read the research. There
really is no such thing as good and bad bacteria, it depends on where it
is growing. Yeast in your bread or beer or wine making is good, in your
blood is bad. E coli in your intestines is essential, but in your blood
or vagina is bad. But it turns out that CS does differentiate between
bacteria which are where they are "good" and "bad" to a large extent.
It turns out through our testing that CS will kill bacteria when it
comes in contact with them, but does not if it doesn't. Thus if it has
good mobility, it kills, whether on the skin, or in the stomach, or
blood stream. But if it is in a solid, or semisolid it is almost inert,
so it does not kill bacteria in the intestines if you have a normal
stool. It does however kill bacteria in the intestines if you have
dysentery, since the contents will be liquid. This is a fantastic
ability of colloidal silver. BTW many if not most bacteria will convert
from aerobic to anaerobic if they are cut off from oxygen and back again
when exposed to air, which also contradicts the notion that aerobic are
good and anaerobic are bad. The reason for this assumption is that
normally bacteria in open air do good deeds (rot wood, keep the skin
clean and so forth), and those that have to go anaerobic because of lack
of air tend to cause problems (botulism, infections), but there are
exceptions, yeast is anaerobic and makes bread and alcoholic drinks,
anaerobic bacteria also make vinegar, and are essential to proper
digestion in the intestines.

Sol -- maybe I mis-read this, but I understood it to say that CS does
not harm the friendly bacteria -- and gives the reason (because CS
decomposes enzymes required by anaerobic bacteria, which are the
unfriendly bacteria). Did I get this wrong?

This is one of those CS claims that have been around forever. I do not
believe it. Ode already responded with a much better explanation of
why than I can give, so I'm just adding my opinion that he is correct
and the statement below is wrong.

IS PROBABLE THAT THIS INDIRECT ACTION IS ALSO THE REASON BACTERIA
