Margaret, I don't know who Dr Peter L Reynolds is, but judging from his 'book' he is not a chemist nor particularly astute. For instance he spends considerable time warning against the ingestion of 'molecular silver' (silver ions), and yet all the information he presents about how silver works refers almost entirely to the use of silver ions.
The whole book is full of misinformation... lots of disparate information taken and presented out of context to make a case. The whole business of needing a catalyst to generate CS is rather confused. Commercial manufacturers use a catalyst (which he does not name) which is not available to lay producers? Lay producers must use table salt (sodium chloride) but have to be careful not to split the salt into its constituent elements, sodium and chlorine (duh!). Chlorine, Reynolds tells us, is poisonous when swallowed, and by crikey he is correct... pity that salt disassociates into sodium and chloride (not chlorine) in water, and that chloride is the most populous anion in the body. He also tells us that the added sodium might adversely affect some people... he obviously has no idea at all. This book has no value what-so-ever as a manual for the evaluation of colloidal silver, there are some interesting titbits of information, but in my opinion this book should be withdrawn from public display as it misinforms rather than educates.
