Not being a biological chemist or whatever I wonder how could that be so? Due to biological complexities within the body I would have thought tests in vivo would be more accurate/applicable to those of a test tube or petri dish? There would be many, many actions, reactions, and interactions occurring within the body to/with any substance ingested. I assume you're referring to our intestinal flora when probiotics are spoken of? In which case there would need to be some literature available indicating 'how much', and in 'what form', or 'what type' that silver solution is/was in when ingested indicating the destruction of our beneficial flora? Can't speak for the product referred to in that article, but I seriously doubt what we make in the home will have much effect on our beneficial flora. Unless praps one were to ingest 10 litres a day for an extended number of days? But even then, I haven't found any articles relating to 'how much' of home made ionic/colloidal silver would need to be ingested before killing our flora? Plenty of assumptions, anecdotes, and 'recommendations' from mainstream authorities for the amount of 'colloidal silver?' being ingested, but nothing referring to the product we make in the home I don't think? What's publicised and sold over the counter as 'colloidal silver?' compared to what we make in the kitchen using LVDC and DW are like chalk and cheese to me. The term 'Colloidal Silver' is a very, very large broom, and sweeps up *anything* containing the slightest sniff of silver. Even our TGA couldn't supply me infomation relating to the stuff we produce, by the methods we produce it...because they simply haven't got any! They waffle on about some shiela who turned blue or whatever - but do you think I can find a picture of that woman on their website...NO I couldn't! And we all know *who* that woman was they reference, and *why* they don't supply a photo, or any other information about her. It's all mostly deception and misleading information to suit a particular agenda to me David, all put out there for those of us who are involved with this stuff to choose to believe 'this' or 'that'... without them actually providing any credible information. I apply that same philosophy to marketers/promotors as well. Oops, think I might have digressed here a tad. N.
