Im trying to understand ionic vs colloidal in terms of body effects. I
heard that the ionic was quickly compounded with proteins or into salts
and removed from the body. Sorry, Im not a chemist. Point is, some
seem to state that only the colloidal with +- 10 nm size silver
particles is of benefit. Then there is Becker with local migration
off silver coated wound dressings at +- 1 volt and it isnt clear if
this is ionic or particles.
Just checking a few quick web searches for what crosses the BBB, I see
33 nm for a tumor marker substance, and another place that has tools to
measure aerosol size, a few comments;
. Nanoparticles can cross the blood brain barreir in humans and gold
nano-particles can move across the placenta from mother to foetus
. Early studies with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) particles around
20 nm in diameter showed that airborne concentrations of a supposedly
inert insoluble material lower than 50 µg/m3 could be fatal to rats
. Nano-tubes produce a more toxic response in rats than quartz dust
. Engineered carbon molecules known as "buckyballs" cause brain
damage in fish.
**
. ability to extrapolate manufactured nanoparticle toxicity using
existing particle and fibre toxicological databases are very limited.
The toxicity of nanoparticles is influenced by the size and increases
with decreasing particle size, on a mass for mass basis.
So the question is; do we know that ionic is the form that crosses the
BBB, and do we know that ionic is the active form, and do we know that
ionic even reaches the body since its supposedly chelated and eliminated
quickly, and further, if colloidal reaches the brain, do we know that it
is safe, since, as indicated above, supposedly inert material can become
fatal at nanometer sizes...
Where is the web site with the most comprehensive or seemingly true
overview of silver?

its nice to know that mms might clean the impossible to remove brown
silver stain from my brain though...
thanks,
