Therefore your HVAC CS has no conductivity other than the conductivity of the water you start with. I thought you used a flow through unit...unless there is no movement in the water other than the oscillations of the silver ions these ions could not be reduced back at the next cycle as they will be too far away to contact the electrode. A colloid is a description of a physical system, it does not say anything about the nature of its constituents, other than one is dispersed in the other, and the dispersed constituent is of the order 1nm to 100micron in one plane. There is no silver oxide in LVDC CS unless the water is acidic, but even if there were, silver oxide beyond the level of solubility (13ppm) can exist quite happily as a colloid, if it meets the requirements mentioned above. Silver oxide is perfectly safe and I would be quite happy if my LVDC CS existed in some part as silver oxide, although I doubt that it does. Silver oxide will not increase the conductivity of the water either. > Silver oxide only has a solubility of .13 ppm in cold water, thus if you > have any ppm of silver greater than that, it cannot be silver oxide. > Dissolved silver oxide has not tyndall. Well, it can be all silver oxide, but it will not be very stable...similar to silver chloride. > > > > In order to enter the blood via the digestive tract the silver must be > > in the ionic form, in order to become attached to the protein or amino > > acid transporters so that they may pass the through the channels in the > > cells.

I have said the above many times, and till now nobody has answered the challenge. Please, no statements from colloidal mineral manufacturers. > CS is much more effective than silver compounds, so if what you are saying > is true, how do you explain the difference? Who says colloidal silver is more effective than silver compounds? What steps were taken to ensure that the compound exists in the same state as it would be found in the body? It is not good enough to drop some silver chloride into a petri dish and proclaim that the CS is more effective. However, if you know of some comparison between silver nitrate and CS, with the same silver content, I would be interested, as silver nitrate dissasociates into its component ions in solution. > How would it become ionic form in the stomach?

Metallic particles will to some extent also. Silver compounds will break apart into component ions. Some chelates will not, but then they are in a form which can be absorbed by the body anyway. Even silver metal placed upon the skin will dissolve into silver ions given a fluid medium! > Marshall Ivan. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
