Catalytic effect. Silver particles are an oxidizing catalyst, when they encounter O2, the O2 splits into two very reactive O- ions and adhear to the surface of the particle. Upon contact with a pathogen the very reactive O- transfers to and kills the pathogen, just like the very reactive O- in H2O2 does. That may not be the only mechanism. Charge distribution in a pathogen cell is important and it is also possible that the silver, being an extremely good conductor basically shorts the cell out leading to death. > > > 3. have you eliminated metalloproteins as a transport mechanism for > silver ions?

The solubility of silver chloride will only vary with the presence of common ions, that is silver and chloride. I do have the curves on the chloride ion in various forms, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, hydrochloric acid and so forth and have posted some of them to this forum already. There is very little difference between them. For anything else to increase the solubility would require complexing, like ammonia or excessive chloride ions will complex with the silver increasing the solubility. > > > 5. what tests were done to detect silver in the blood? That is a good question. Anyone know where these tests were run? Were they run by Frank or Steve?
