Re: Serious Question for the Experts . . .
You yourself know that particulate silver is effective and does work. You have said that CS saved your life and was it not MesoSilver that you used? Therefore Particulate silver must work but probably more slowly. I think that particulate silver has to loose an electron to become effective at killing pathogens and that it would take time in order to loose the electron. I have seen research testing ionic and particulate (MesoSilver) which showed that ionic silver worked faster at killing pathogens. The short test time of 2 or 3 minutes used in the testing did favour ionic silver and no testing was done for the maximum pathogen destruction where a more prolonged effect might be more beneficial. That might be where particulate silver might be more beneficial.
There are a few hybrid particulate silver products which combine oxygen which is meant to make particulate silver more effective. Most likely because it reacts and causes the lose of an electron. I would think that particulate silver has a longer action inside the body so I would say that it probably does have applications where a more prolonged effect is needed such as with pathogenic blood infections. Ionic silver might be quickly used up in such cases.
I don't think that claiming that particulate silver is ineffective based upon one story, when your own story would demonstrate the reverse, is providing the full accurate picture.
The manufacturer of your CS generator does recommend reducing ionic silver to particulate silver. I do not think that this is for his financial gain when anyone with any other CS generator can use the information. I don't see that it is of financial benefit to him, therefore why does he recommend doing it if it does not provide some benefit?
