Hello All, I have been following Ivan and Roger discussing blood levels and status of Ag in blood, though not in every detail.
Have you thought of asking BB about his dog studies? They were focused on measuring the rate of absorption in the GI tract following tube introduction of CS with various electrolyte mixes and monitoring real-time the Ag in blood taken from a toe artery. There may have been some data that will help your investigation, and Brooks may be in a position to share it.

Roger, you are assuming that the silver remains in your blood stream when this is not necessarily so, and further you assume that whilst in the blood stream it exists in a form which is able to react with pathogens, when it is more probable that the silver will bind to the proteins circulating in the blood plasma, in fairly short order. Hopefully testing blood will show whether this is so. > One would need to test the blood for free silver ions in order to > determine the amount in circulation vs time. > > I will do this, as I can test for silver ions, if I can get hold of some > syringes. > > Ivan: I think it is very important to establish a steady state input of a > known and constant amount of (constant strength, and specified prep) CS > first, BEFORE taking blood samples.

I am interested in determining the presence of silver ions in the blood stream vs time, starting from a zero blood reading. I will know the concentration and amount I ingest. I don't fancy taking blood for longer than it takes to establish that no silver ions remain. > Thanks for your thoughts. As far as "drawing a long bow" is concerned, I > don't look at it that way.
