Colloidal silver
Written by byrev on December 20, 2007 – 9:11 am -Colloidal silver refers to microscopic particles of silver that are held in a liquid suspension.
A colloid is technically defined as particles which remain suspended without forming an ionic, or dissolved solution.
The broader commercial definition of colloidal silver includes products that contain various concentrations of ionic silver, silver colloids, ionic silver compounds or mild silver proteins in purified water.
Colloidal silver with concentrations of 30 parts per million (ppm) or less are typically (but not always) manufactured using an electrolyte process, whereas colloidal silver with higher concentrations of 50 ppm or more are usually (but not always) either silver compounds such as silver chloride and silver iodide or are solutions that have been bound with a protein to disperse the particles.

Colloidal Silver is also susceptible to damage by light and other external influences.
Electro-colloidal silver cannot be expected to have an infinite shelf-life, & “fallout” will occur in any non-stabilized product over an extended period of time.
“The best way is to make it as you need it”
Colloidal Silver Is Easily “Spoilt”
Especially if it has no additives…. chemicals or proteins added to stabilize it.
Some manufacturers add stabilizers to prevent “clumping” and settling-out, but the overall effects on effectiveness & toxicity are unknown. Also some silver preparations are produced “chemically”.
These are not necessarily the same as the “safe” electrically produced Colloidal Silver referred to above.
