Theres no solid evidence that any particular form of silver is any
more 'effective' than any other form. Numerous lab test seem to
indicate that all forms of silver are effective. Pure silver
particles, silver ions, and all sorts of silver compounds, all seem
to kill germs.
There are indications that some forms of silver may kill pathogens
'quicker' (in vitro) but that doesn't mean that in the longer term
they are any more effective. For example a pure silver particle (eg
mesosilver) may (or may not) work more 'slowly', but it may retain
its effectiveness for much longer, thereby killing more pathogens
overall, so the benefit ultimately may be greater than an ion that
(may) work only momentarily.
Anyway all the results we have are 'in vitro' (i.e. lab tests). We
have no real idea of whats really happening in the human body. And is
there any such thing as a silver 'ion' in the blood stream anyway?
Don't silver ions immeadiately become a 'silver compound particle'
the instant they are ingested?
The whole argument about smaller particles being more effective than
larger particles is somewhat nebulous too. I can't say I've ever seen
a lab test that proves it, and theres certainly no clinical trials
that support it.
The bottom line is that we need to be very careful about making
definitive statements based on lab tests. Pure CS in a petri dish is
a very different proposition to a mouthful of CS swallowed by an
adult human.

Hi Marshall,
Smaller particles being the most effective among particles...but
all in all you would still say the ionic portion of EIS is
responsible for most of the results, right?
