Ivan: Well, assuming you are correct in your statement above (Sorry, but I don't recall if you offered us any proof), then silver can enter the body only if it is already ionized, or through a redox reaction. Therefore, if the predominant form of the CS you are taking happens to be nonionic, wouldn't a redox reaction render all the CS available, and if this conclusion is correct why would particle size be all that important (some evidence to the contrary notwithstanding) since redox reactions will yield individual silver ions for all submicron size particles and probably for particles of around a micron as well. If I am correct, then wouldn't this conclusion explain why most folks have had good success with crudely made (preparations with relatively large particles, but still mostly in the micron size range) CS?
