MesoSilver Product vs Others & Dosages

[S&W]

First, please see this link and tell me if it's new info to you guys. http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html

It distinquishes the type of colloidal silver available for purchase and also states that the home made types are in fact of the substandard types. It splits them into Silver Solution (or Silver Ion solution), Silver Protien, and then true Colloidal Silver.

This resource is the only scientific looking source I could find for the types and legitimacy of colloidal silver. However, it is apparently owned by the founder of http://www.purestcolloids.com/ which makes MesoSilver (among other metal colloids).

Do you think it's a scam that this research site shows that MesoSilver is the most potent colloidal silver available that lab tests were completed on? I find it odd but don't necessarily discount it just because.

Also, how much colloidal silver should be taken, and in what manner (oral, inhalation, etc), to treat common ailments such as viruses and ear/nose/throat infections?

The first site above reports that the cheap silver solutions will eventually cause a person to suffer from a poisoning effect that turns the skin a blueish-grey. However true solutions, that they report only 4 of (one being theirs) will never cause this regardless of how much you ingest. Has anyone found this to be true or heard this as well?

Thanks much!

Thanks for the reply--I was starting to think no one payed any attention to these forums.

I've concluded the ionic solution is inferior to the true particle colloidal silver when it is manufactured correctly. I'm come to this conclusion by verifying the scientist promotor of MesoSilver thru a third party scientist in South Africa and a doctorate's student who is also doing research on the matter. I've conversed with both via email and both confirmed my conclusion.

Although none of them agree 100% on everything, they do agree that the particle colloidal silver is better for people all-around whereas the ionic silver is most effective for people that are already ill. I won't get into the long story behind it, but it deals with how ionic silver bonds with stomach chemicals and has to be set free/broken down by ammonia. And ammonia is only produced in enough quantities within the human body when an illness is present. The true particle colloidal silver apparently is not stored within the body at anytime for the silver does not bond or clump-up with the chemicals in the digestive tract. It is utilized by the body and discarded once it makes its rounds thru the blood cycle.

The reason why ionic silver is different is the manufacturing process removes an electron from the silver thus converting it to an ion silver substance rather than a true particle of silver. Basically from how I understand it a piece of silver that has parts of its guts missing and is moleculary different (slightly but with impact).

The doctorate studies student has concluded that colloidal silver should not be taken regularly for over extended periods (24 to 36 months) it is less effective. He recommends taking it only during the peak sickness months (such as winter), when ill, or when special circumstances demand.
