I think it must be so. If not, then there is no particulate silver in the body once the Ag particles hit the HCL in the stomach. >>
James: I think you are mixing apples and oranges. Silver IONS react with chloride IONS. Silver particles have no charge. In order to have a CHEMICAL (we're not taking about ADsorption) reaction there has to be a charge balance (among other things). So write the reaction(s) you are contemplating, and don't forget to balance the charges for reactants and products. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
