I have found that MIR and one of those work even better in combination.
Use them topically.
Shannon,
With regards to ionic/colloidal silver are the many claims made about it actually true- regarding what it can cure/treat and/or prevent?
Also what is the difference between ionic and colloidal?
I can tell you that I own the ionic silver generator I linked you to, and I have personally used the colloidal silver I linked you to. Beyond that I'm allowed to tell you this:
I do not ingest ionic silver. I did on multiple occasions safely ingest a total of about 450 mL of the colloidal silver from Purest Colloids. I stopped buying the colloidal silver because it is expensive and I don't need to ingest it to achieve my goals, and because I have a ready and inexpensive supply of the ionic silver. I have been to the doctor much less since I bought the ionic silver generator. I am happy with the difference in my dogs' tooth infections since they started drinking my ionic silver instead of water. My girlfriend has been to the doctor less since I started making ionic silver. I will not be caught dead without an ionic silver generator ever again. But I would only buy and use one of a very few such generators; the Silver Puppy is the least expensive and easiest to use of that lot. If I had an internal infection, I would be using Purest Colloids products, not ionic silver.
You take these statements as you will. Not every claim you will read about ionic or colloidal silver is true, there is a lot of confusion in both for and against directions. Some people make claims that are false because they have a vested interest in selling you something, or defending their product and profits against something else (in both directions). Some people are too excitable and may confuse placebo with real results. Some people have billions of dollars at stake if more people knew what I know. Which is why I'm not allowed to tell you what I might say otherwise. But my research, experiments and experiences have convinced me that it is useful for me.
As to the difference between colloidal and ionic silver, the PurestColloids website will give you good information on that. Bear in mind that their product is expensive and difficult to make, and ionic silver is cheap and easy. They have a vested interest in dissuading you from using ionic silver. They also make some fair points. You'll have to figure that out for yourself. You can also find good information on the SilverPuppy website about this.
Basically, a colloid and an ion differ in that an ion is simply a single atom of a single element, which has more r fewer electrons than are necessary for that atom of that element to be in its most stable form. Ions are looking to achieve that stability, and they readily combine with substances that provide it. For example, if you make a gallon of ionic silver (which is always clear when it is done correctly), and you add a pinch of table salt, the entire gallon will instantly turn a milky white. That is the silver ions combining with the chlorine atoms to create silver chloride. That is what happens to ionic silver when you ingest it, since you are full of sodium chloride (table salt). Silver chloride may or may not be as effective for accomplishing its potential uses as the original ionic silver was, and it depends on who you believe about that.
Colloids are a suspension of small groups of atoms of a single element. They may be charged or not, depending on how they were created. The true colloids do not need help remaining suspended in a solution. They are so small that Brownian motion (simple movement of the atoms surrounding them) keeps them from settling out of solution. Some types of "colloidal silver" are sold as colloidal when in fact they are not. They require additives to the water in the form of proteins to remain suspended. That is because these particles are too big to be true colloids, and they would settle out otherwise. I avoid "silver proteins" (which are usually amber or brown in color, and form bubbles that remain for a while when you shake them) like the plague.
Colloidal silver has the advantage that, if it is not created with a charge, it will be stable. That is why I was comfortable ingesting the true colloidal silver from Purest Colloids.
Both forms have similar qualities when in the presence of pathogens. They achieve their results in different ways. The rest, you are welcome to research for yourself.
