Abstract Silver is an effective germ fighter and silver nanoparticles are widely recognized as being especially effective because of their enormously high surface area. Due to a large number of manufacturers using silver nanoparticles in their products, some concern has arisen about the effects on the environment when these products are disposed of or washed.…
The original article by Jonathan Campbell contained so many inaccuracies, false statements, and misinformation that we asked Mr. Marshall Dudley, a recognized researcher in the field of colloidal silver to prepare the rebuttal which follows.Note: Bold indicates original text from http://www.cqs.com/silver Ads for it litter the Internet and alternative health magazines. “Phyto-silver” (such as in the product…
These technical papers are in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing and printing. Acrobat Reader is available free. Ions, Atoms, and Charged Particles This technical paper written by Francis Key and George Maass discusses the forms of silver that are found in colloidal silver, specifically, silver ions, and silver particles, and the electrical charges associated…
The Ionic Silver Products list below are sold as “colloidal silver” but a more technically correct description for these products would be “ionic silver solutions” because they typically contain 90% ionic silver and only 10% silver particles. Not all products on the table have been tested. A dash (-) indicates that the product has not…
The list of products below is “true silver colloids” The silver content in these products consists of both silver ions and silver particles. The majority of the silver content is in the form of silver particles which makes these products true colloids. The effectiveness of a colloid is determined by the particle surface area making it the single most important metric for…
