Quite often over the last 8 years or so -- People like Marshall D and others (forgive me for not being able to name them right now) -- have answered the following question which came up in various guises --
I paraphrase: Q: if I heat CS or EIS to near boiling -- and breathe in the steam -- will the steam contain silver? A: No! The silver will drop out of suspension. I didn't believe him/them. I tried it! I used an electrical Vics steam inhaler. You will notice the silver particles drop out and collect in the non-stick coated boiler-water reservoir. If you put the residue under a m-scope -- I can only presume most of the content will be silver -- assuming you ahve used good quality distilled water! I have used ultra-sonic nebulizers for some 8 years with CS to very great therapeutic affect. See my next post re the most efficient NEBULIZER INHALER I've come across -- with attached 460K pic!! I have tried to contrast the "ultrasonic cold steam" against a green cutting board.
