"With that said, there is more to be said on the topic of the structure of nano-particle silver in that these are subject to flocculation due to their neutral charge. Of which I believe works against the principal of Colloidal Silver and in comparison to ionic solutions."


.........exactly right. The entire issue regarding bio-availability is all about atom & nano-particle size. I would encourage you to continuing to do a good study on how metal transport into biological cells occur.

I'm sure over time that individual neutral atoms of silver that are not ions, can eventually begin to floc, I've seen evidence of this in a small bottle of many years old MesoSilver that was left in a closet that I had forgotten about, it was not clear, it had a kind of yellow-gray tint. I just used it topically in my ears or put it in bathwater.

Even now with the clear CS that I make, I actually drink very little, mostly brush my teeth with it & gargle. Swallowing even less than half a teaspoon makes me gassy & that can only come from killing good gut flora. So unless someone is having a specific issue, then caution is the best advice because it still remains all but impossible to know how much floc has occurred, especially in very low PPM clear distilled water solution.

I would not characterize Mesosilver as "junk"; it is simply "misbegotten." It was developed at a time in the past that Colloidal Silver was not well understood. The manufacturer developed the process which was a high percentage of particles of silver, rather than silver ions. That is not easy to do, and they took pride in it. They also asked a high price for it and still do to this day. The process is not practical for people to do it themselves. Their websites are very professionally done, and they spend a lot of money advertising.
The fact is that there is an overwhelming amount of university-level research showing that silver ions are at least 100 times as effective as uncharged silver particles. Here is an example:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2292600/?report=classic
I quote from the article above:
"The following silver compounds and silver are listed in Martindale: the Extra Pharmacopoeia: silver metal, silver acetate, silver nitrate, silver protein, and silver sulfadiazine (26a). The silver ion can be generated by electrolyzing the silver metal or dissolving the silver compounds. It is known that the electrically generated silver ion appeared to be superior to the silver compounds in antimicrobial activity (3, 4). However, most of the aforementioned studies which determined a mechanism of action of silver used silver ions produced from silver compounds like silver nitrate or silver sulfadiazine, and thus there has been limited research on the electrically generated silver ion. Recently, a laundry machine that emits electrically generated silver ions was developed for hygiene, namely, in order to prevent easily transmissible bacterial and fungal skin infections from being transmitted by contaminated laundry. In particular, it can be beneficial to hospitals and homes in which immunocompromised people (the elderly, children, and medical patients) or pets may dwell. Our previous study demonstrated the antifungal activity of a laundry machine that electrically generates silver ions (14). In the present study, we used conventional plate counting, flow cytometry (FC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to investigate the antibacterial activity and mechanism of action against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria of a silver ion solution generated from the laundry machine.It is known that the electrically generated silver ion appeared to be superior to the silver compounds in antimicrobial activity."
It should also be noted that this manufacturer has set up some so-called "independent forums" to create the impression of a great body of happy users.
The only forum that I know of that is active in the Colloidal Silver area and independent is: http://goldismoney2.com/threads/the-art-of-making-colloidal-silver.61973/
It was set up by investors in precious metals and is funded by donations from members. You will never see an ad there. It is open to everyone but is rigidly moderated to avoid anyone or any company to take advantage of the forum. I started a thread there about making Colloidal Silver four years ago. It now has almost 300 replies and 24,000 views. It is an excellent resource for anyone to gain unbiased knowledge about making colloidal silver. It is interesting to note that there is an effort on this forum to initialize the naming of ionic colloidal silver to EIS "Electrically Isolated Silver". That would properly distinguish the modern product from the antiquated concept of colloidal silver as relatively large particles kept in suspension by their Zeta potential and Brownian motion. It is also worth noting that Mesosilver was introduced at a time when many of the "colloidal silver" products consisted of silver oxide particles in water with instructions to "shake vigorously before use."

You stated:

"Ionic silver solutions do not contain single ion atoms. It is a matter of fact and Science that silver solutions made up of single atoms are beyond our current scientific abillty to create."

This is such a factually incorrect statement that it would probably be pointless engaging you in further discussion.

You obviously don't know an ION is an ATOM. In this case it is an atom with 46 outer orbital electrons. The other atom of silver we're discussing here is non-ionic silver which has 47 outer orbital electrons, what is often referred to as a nano-particle.

A nano-particle of 47 electrons is attracted to another particle of non-ionic atomic symmetry by weak nuclear forces called Van der Waals Forces. When two or more non-ionic atoms get stuck together by these weak nuclear forces, they will tend to want to grow in size because the increasing mass size concentrates even more of the nuclear forces thus causing other non-ionic particles to be attracted to the growing mass.

If you want to continue the discussion, I'm willing & quite capable to carry it on, but I don't want to engage in a name calling session as to why I as a Nuclear/ Electrical Engineer am not fit to make the call on what distinguishes one atomic mass from another.

RE: You say you are not a chemist. Neither are you a biologist and neither apparently do you have any experience with, or knowledge of, how Colloidal Silver works inside the body.
A. I'd first question who has knowledge of how Colloidal Silver works inside the body, and what studies we could reference on this.

RE: Instead, ionic solutions which are sold commercially or made at home have silver particles which typically range in size from 15 nanometers and up.
A. While I believe that compounds such as silver oxides could easily measure or exceed 15nm, it remains this would not encompass the properties that would qualify the ionic silver nomenclature - such as; when silver oxides enter into solubility, or the ions generated at the anode either; pair-up, or bond with other molecules in solubility. And so, I'm thinking you're going to have to choose whether or not you accept these solutions to be ionic so-as to avoid a double standard. ie, based on what you've written, it would appear that you're attempting to argue both sides. By either presenting criticisms against ionic solutions on the one hand, while ignoring the very same properties to support your own conclusions or interests(see).

In short, if a solution is ionic, then it must therefore contain silver ions in solubility. Likewise, if it contains soluble ions, then these must therefore meet the qualifications or properties to prove true. Otherwise, it would not be ionic.

RE: Given your evident regard for degrees, perhaps you might appreciate the fact that the owner of Purest Colloids, which makes the true Colloidal Silver product Mesosilver, has a PhD from MIT and worked for NASA.
A. I regret to tell you, that this particular statement seems rather disingenuous with respect to your opening criticism. As you now appear to be referencing someone who is; not a chemist, neither a biologist or even having any experience with, or knowledge of, how Colloidal Silver works inside the body(see).

RE: ...one would surely think he would have known better than to have spent half a million dollars on equipment to make a solution that was over 85% true Colloidal Silver
A. I'm not sure how or why you'd feel how large sums of money could help your case. Though I'd remind you that many of the greatest discoveries in medicine were not backed by millions of dollars worth of equipment. And so I just don't think these types of arguments prove anything beyond the fact that the commercial production of Colloidal Silver products can be very expensive, and that the profits from such a business can be very lucrative.

- hope this helps
