Forgive me if I am being presumptious Frank, but exactly how many people are
making pure particle silver solutions?  I'm aware of two people.  I've
always been incredibly interested in particle silver research. However, I've
seen no reports of efficacy, and the science I've seen ( that I've been able
to understand, not being a specialist in chemistry ) has been sloppy.

For example, the "scientific experiment" where ionic silver is added to
saliva and silver chloride is produces disproving protein adsorption of
ionic silver is borderline negligance.

I think you are being extremely unfair in stating that those using ionic
silver ignore the silver chloride issue.  The archives prove differently.  I
will remind you yet again that ionic silver products HAVE received FDA
approval, and there are a few companies spending an incredible amount of
money learning how to deliver ionic silver successfully into the body.
These same companies could far spend less money  learning how to deliver
particle silver into the body, yet the predominant viewpoint among silver
professionals is that ionic silver is ideal if there is a guarantee that the
ionic silver will reach the site of an infection.

I think that by taking the stance in the manner that you do, you not only
misrepresent the scientific ideals you apparently hold so highly, but also
do science itself an injustice.

Personally, I use a high particle concentration for external applications
because silver is silver, and higher concentrations externally have proven
 to me ) to be more effective with no added risk.  However, I'm working on a
simple method that will allow ionic silver to remain ionic for extended
periods of time.  In cases where this method is feasible, I will then opt
for a "more" ionic silver solution.

The majority of the work I've seen is a futile attempt to prove that ionic
silver does not work, and that particle silver is theoretically the better
alternative.  I've seen very little on the practical application of a pure
particle silver solution in the human body and what it can or cannot do.

The only thing that has stopped me from doing some clinical research on the
real efficacy of ionic silver is the fact that I don't have the equipment to
control ionic silver production to standards, nor do I have the funds to
purchase the colloidal silver at this time for use in such an endevour.

I would ask you to realize that your words have the potential to bring harm
to those people new to silver.  Having an extraordinary amount of respect
for scientific professionals, had I met you and heard your words about ionic
silver, my wife very well could be dead as the result.  Fortunately, I "met"
Lindeman instead.  Scientific ethics were developed to preserve the value of
science itself.  While it is true that every person must accept personal
responsibility for their choices, is it really your intention to bring
possible harm to others based on what is clearly some vendetta?

I have never seen a post where you describe how your colloidal silver has
actually worked against any condition.  Yet you criticize those who report
and are working to achieve a greater understanding through practical
application.  I think your theoretical base for the efficacy of particle
silver is excellent, and I always have.

Why not simply take your particle silver solution, put it to WORK, and let
the results speak for themselves?  Why not focus on the IS of your own work?
