At this _http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html site they seem to argue that colloidal silver generators are less efficient than true silver colloidals, because the generators make ionic silver instead of true colloidal silver. Any thoughts on this?
This _http://www.purestcolloids.com/mesosilver_price_list.php#500ml site sells premanufactured colloidal silver - does anyone have any experience with their product?
Just about all of the commercially prepared or home made silver colloids are ionic... no matter the grand proclamations of their sellers.
The silver-colloids website is a dubious operation created by the makers of Meso silver. It seems quite authoritive but it is not an independent site, as they would have you believe. Their product comparison page lists ASAP/SilverBiotics as ionic. This is laughable, since Pennsylvania State University Materials Science Department performed a 4 year study, using state of the art imaging equipment, that found that not only are the ASAP products pure elemental silver, not ionic, and they were so unique in composition as to qualify for the first ever US Patent for an engineered silver molecule, as a result of the findings of the study. This study also identified these as an entirely new classification of medical silver preparations, nano-catalytic silver hydrosols. That is a lot to put on a bottle label so it was shortened to
sols
Here is the peer reviewed paper from the Penn State Department of Materials Science:

Here is the resultant patent (scroll to the very bottom to see the medical evidence of "cures" presented to the USPTO):

So much for Meso's credibility. Their lab(?) was unable to tell the difference between a pure elemental silver sol and an ionic preparation. Meso silver demonstrates none of the characteristics of an elemental preparation. It in fact, by virtue of its off color indicates that it is an ionic colloid. I have never seen a pure silver colloid product which displays any color of any sort.
I am a colleague of the lifesilver.com website. I handle customer service. Over the years I have had several inquiries from customers who paid for a gallon of Meso, which did nothing to resolve their health problems. An 8 ounce bottle of ASAP did. Lessons learned. All of the hyperbole in the world will not make a better product. Look for actual independent in vivo and in vitro science to back any manufacturers health claims. Our site has many such published papers. The Meso site has none. They can go on for days about their particles, but they cannot offer up one bit of medical evidence linked to their product to suggest that it is efficacious in the human body. Meso uses weasel words like "True" colloid. What does that mean? To claim "the most surface area" and "smallest particles" is deceptive since when reacting a silver preparation, if the molecules get smaller than around 5 nm they automatically become ionic. Smallest is not the desired goal for optimal bioavailability. You would be surprised how many people are convinced by this sell job, though.
I would suggest that you view the medical conference power point video on the home page at www.lifesilver.com. Seeing is believing. That 30 minute presentation offers slides of actual resistant bacterial infection cures, performed in clinical settings, using only the American Biotech Labs products. Where is this sort of evidence from Meso?
While I have access to a continuous supply of ASAP and the topical gels, and have used them regularly for over a decade, there may come a time when they are no longer available. To prepare for that, I researched home generators and found the Silver Puppy to be best suited for use in a post catastrophe situation. It has the ability to run from just about any power source. The ionic colloids produced at home or purchased at vitamin shops do not compare to the products from the medical silver technology of American Biotech Labs, but it is better than nothing should the going get grim.
(I'm buying via my friend)
and he just worry about payment hmm I know that it is Checked web site but he just wont buy it for me.
