Peter Lindemann's information has numerous scientific flaws. > particles sized from .05 to .14 microns That would be 50 to 140 nanometer sized particles, which are not too large to form a colloidal suspension. Colloidal suspension can be formed by particles up to 1000 nm. >Properly made > Ag(e) should contain particles approximately 0.01 to 0.001 microns in > diameter (1 micron=one millionth of a meter, or 4/100,000 inch).

A 10 nm particle (0.010 micron) particle consists of 30978 atoms, not 20. See the table at: http://www.silver-colloids.com/Tables/Agradvolarea.PDF Silver particles have a NEGATIVE charge, not POSITIVE charge. Ions have a positive charge.
