Not to be intentionally obtuse, but . . . There is not always a "problem" or disease state as defined by the need for an immune response when treating with homeopathic dilutions of a substance. Homeopathy is also used to treat mental, emotional and constitutional conditions, among others. Homeopathic silver has constitutional and well as acute specific effects. CS may also act along these same mechanisms due to its existence in the "nanopharmacologic" state.
"As the term 'nanotechnology' refers to the study and use of hyper-miniaturized technologies that can carry more and more bodies of information in smaller and smaller chips, likewise the term 'nanopharmacology' may be appropriate to the newly defined field of homeopathic pharmacology." Owing to the use of extremely low doses or even the high dilutions/dynamizations of medicines. CS present in very low dilutions has a very dynamic action on the body which may not be limited to its direct action on respiratory enzymes of microbial cells. In their summary the authors state: "4. The specific signal may trigger a homeodynamic reactions that shifts the **global dysequilibrium** of the ill person toward a new dynamical attractor, proximal to the healthy state. 5. In acute diseases, homeopathic regulation may be regarded as **homeodynamic regulatory feedback**, in chronic disease as unblocking of pathological adaptation and orientation towards correct responses." pp 399 Please see the excellent book in 2nd edition, THE EMERGING SCIENCE OF HOMEOPATHY COMPLEXITY, BIODYNAMICS AND NANOPHARMACOLOGY by Bellvite and Signorini. It is the first and only treatment of the science of homeopathy and how it supports and interacts with the current medical model in use in the Western world today.
