Re: CS>buying cs instead of making it.

[Ode Coyote]

Bottom line:
If you can see anything at all..it's not the ions you are seeing.
Ions are way too small to reflect visible light.

The smallest colloidal particles have no color but will reflect [refract?] visible light and can be seen as a Tyndal effect.
The larger yellow colloidal particles may still be small enough to cross cell wall boundaries. If not, they don't get absorbed OR eliminated from a cell..they just pass on and do nothing in there.
Even yellow CS has a high percentage of smaller colorless colloidal particles and many many ions.

Since silver has no known chemical niche in mammalian cellular chemistry, and if it does cross the cell wall into the cell, so what?
It can also cross the other way without doing anything at all to the cell...other than grabbing a virus along the way?
What are the facts? Who knows?
We deal with experience...then try to explain it. But the experience stands for itself without theory. It does what it does no matter what we might think it's doing.

So far as I can determine, no one really KNOWS how silver does what it does. All theories are theories.
Electricity works, but no one really knows what electricity is.
Applying a theory can show the expected result and still be incomplete or even totally wrong.
We pay scientists to be "right" and "know", so they almost always sound certain that they are and do.
But , historically speaking, seldom actually are totally right and never know everything about anything.

..and very few webmasters know [or care] anything at all about science.
They repeat what they hear that they think will make you want to buy the product...and know that someone who is afraid will buy anything for any price.
They'll quote anyone..even John Thomas who thinks mustard gas has anything at all to do with mustard.

"Blindness, Mad Cow Disease and Canola Oil", by John Thomas, which appeared in Perceptions
magazine, March/April 1996. Some of the claims are ludicrous. Although rape is a member of the
Brassica or mustard family, it is not the source of mustard gas used in chemical warfare."

Isn't he the guy that also believes that contrails are something other than water vapor and that they are a new thing even when it can be photographically proven that prop planes and even ocean liners can produce them and have for over 50 years?
