"Silver particles" refer to very tiny pieces of silver that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Full definition
Silver protein based products use gelatin as an additive to keep
large silver particles suspended that would otherwise fall to the bottom.
But as use of these
microscopic silver particles grows, some scientists now are raising concerns about potential effects on the environment and human health.
Colors, ranging from yellow to dark brown indicate that the size
of silver particles is getting larger and / or a dye has been added.
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Images of a Silver Protein Product - These SEM images show the enormous size of
silver particles found in silver protein type products.
colloidal silver solution — A solution containing pure water and nanometer
sized silver particles in a colloidal suspension.
Ionic Plus is a powerful, all natural antibiotic liquid mineral supplement and prophylactic with a trillion electromagnetically
charged silver particles of ions compared to a billion electromagnetically charged particles in colloidal silver.
Colloidal Silver - A fluid containing predominantly
minute silver particles held in suspension, where the particles carry a slight negative electrical charge known as a zeta potential.
When discussing metal colloids such as colloidal silver, the term colloid means
silver particles in suspension not silver ions in solution.
True colloidal silver with a sufficient concentration of particles does not look like water
because silver particles — even very small particles — block light from passing through, making the liquid appear darker.
Many products claiming to be colloidal silver are technically silver solutions since the entire silver content is in the form of silver ions and they do not
contain silver particles.
Moreover, as pointed out by Johnston et al. [17], the increasing importance of Ag - NPs in the development of novel consumer materials intended for human exposure requires more in depth studies on toxicity mechanisms, as well as, on
how silver particles interact with biological molecules and how different surface modifications can be used to reduce or eliminate possible toxic effects.
Since true colloids of high particle concentration had not yet been developed when Ron wrote the booklet, all products of that time which displayed color were the result of large
silver particles present in ionic solutions that were produced using electrolysis methods.
These images show the world's smallest test tubes, each.00004 inch long,.0000002 inch in diameter, and filled
with silver particles.
Technical Papers - Here is a list of technical papers and other technical information
on silver particles and solutions.
Electrodes and wiring, for example, can be made
using silver particles mixed into silicone, while the bulk of a battery can be made using a paste of zinc particles and liquid electrolyte.
Even
if silver particles are released from the textile fabric as a result of strong sweating, they are not absorbed by healthy skin.
Unstable silver colloids may undergo agglomeration that results in the precipitation of
silver particles out of suspension.
It is common for producers of ionic silver solutions to interchangeably use the
terms silver particles and ions in an attempt to blur the distinction between these two entirely different entities.
The interchangeable use of the terms ions and
silver particles give the reader the false impression that this product is colloidal silver rather than an ionic silver solution.
The product is predominantly ionic silver but the ad statement above is the classical deception trying to fool the reader into believing that silver ions are
really silver particles.
Laboratory measurements found no
measurable silver particles present and silver that was present is only one half of one percent of the labeled value.
The reasoning behind this assumption is that concentrations of
silver particles at 12 ppm or greater tend to agglomerate producing larger particles.
Silver Nanoparticles: No Threat to the Environment - This report will demonstrate that silver nanoparticles do not remain «nanosize» when they come in contact with normal environmental samples, such as soil and water, but they agglomerate to form much larger, much less biologically effective,
silver particles which are non-toxic, non-ionic and have no history of being harmful to the environment or aquatic life.
Whether this is due to the fact that not all colloidal silver ingested bonds to form silver chloride, or whether at different parts of the metabolic process the chloride - silver bonds break leaving ionic and / or
silver particles free to act once again is a matter of debate.
Silver nitrate is created by combining silver with nitric acid, while colloidal silver contains
only silver particles suspended in water.
Recently flying back from Florida at 30K I videotaped a massive flurry of
reflective silver particles right among heavily sprayed trails like I have never witnessed.
silver protein - Also know as «mild silver protein», is a combination of
metallic silver particles suspended in a protein solution.
It is the high concentration of large
silver particles found in silver protein products that cause argyria, a blue - gray discoloration of the skin.
Laboratory tests have determined that ASAP is an ionic silver solution which is 96.6 % ionic silver and only 3.4 %
elemental silver particles.
True silver colloids are products that do not contain any protein or other additives and whose silver content is predominantly in the form of nanometer
sized silver particles.
