Frank,

Let me be quite clear here.

The reason I produce 'CS' that has a high ionic content is because I believe
that to be the most effective in health outcomes. I can not think of any
references that say otherwise, but am open to re-education.

I do not claim that ionic solutions are colloids, and state that my product
has a high ionic content on the label and name my product 'Silver Solution'.
I do however, also include on the label the words 'colloidal silver' so that
the general public know what the product is intended for. It is unfortunate
that from an early stage the electro-generated liquid known as colloidal
silver was mislabelled, but there it is... what everybody refers to as
colloidal silver is in fact a mixture of colloid and ions, with higher
percentage of the later than the former. But as it is the contents of the
bottle that does the good work, I would rather the contents be mis-named
than  change the contents to fit the label.

The fact that silver complexes with chloride is neither here nor there, if
the silver still makes it into the blood stream and is able to react with
the pathogens it encounters.
If silver forms silver chloride, why should that be the end of the story?
Chemical and biological reactions don't come to a halt because of this. The
weight of evidence suggests that ionic silver is an effective health remedy,
and proposing a theory why it shouldn't be does not change that fact.

I am not tied to a particular camp for any reason other than I have not seen
any evidence that compels me to change my views. I am more than happy to
review such evidence, and upon being convinced that it is sound I will then
alter my product to reflect this, so that I might present my customers with
the best possible product.

Ivan.
