Re: diluting 500 ppm silver?

The reason most products that contain high PPM silver is that they produce their silver with larger particle, and the result of using enough larger particles to have an effective surface area comparable to the smaller nano-sized particles made by today's better manufacturers results in the much higher PPM.   Once again, Tixona, it is surface area and NOT PPM that really matters.  The more surface area you have the more you will have silver coming into contact with pathogens and other problems in your body.  Take a thin blanket and fold it up as tightly as you can.  Perhaps only a few square inches will come into contact with your body.  Unfold it and you cover and contact virtually all of the body.

If the 500 PPM product would be effected diluted, why don't they just dilute it to begin with or else recommend dilution on the label and advertising?  They don't and there has to be a reason for that.  I think that I have the answer when I say that they have to use more of their larger particle silver to be as effective as other products, and they cover that deficiency by trying to turn it into an advantage by advertising their higher PPMs.

Most of the high PPM silver products I have looked at refer to the fact that they use the same method of producing silver that was used in the tests of silver against pathogens.  That sounds good on paper, but what they are saying is that they are using outdated methods which were the only ones available at the time and those methods produced very large particles compared to the methods used today by the better manufacturers.

I note that many, but not all, of the same elements in the Cutler method are among the same as the ones I suggested.  I don't see anything particularly dangerous in the Cutler method.  Although there have been some questions raised about EDTA and DMPS, they are regarded as relatively safe by most people.

You are right when you state that just because the substance is labeled a "drug" doesn't mean it can't be effective or beneficial.  On the other hand, mankind did not develop alongside lab created synthetic compounds and perhaps that explains why over 95% of all approved drugs have side-effects.

I have seldom seen any drug that is as safe or effective as items found in nature.

BTW, who makes the 500 PPM silver you refer to?  When you make silver in concentrations that high it is virtually impossible to keep the particles from agglomerating and precipitating out unless you artificially suspend them in something like protein. And guess what - skin loves protein.  Lots of silver plus skin can give result in you becoming a member of the Smurffs.

All the best,
