Thank you so much Marshall for your painstaking reply and photo.
 
Now, i just found out what i thought all along was wrong.  For a long time i 
believed that ionic silver comes as nano particle and had smaller paraticles 
than the cs.  With the quote from US gov below, it turns out it is the 
colloidal silver that is nano particle.  But how come i now seem to be helped 
faster using ionic?
