They don't say. If you ever figure that out please let me know. Notice they claim that should a silver ion form as a result of oxidation, "it immediately reacts with the available chloride ions to form the compound silver chloride." Which is exactly what I have been saying all along. Thereafter they speculate that bacteria consume the silver ions. However, their statement is self contradictory. If the silver ions form silver chloride "immediately" then there are no silver ions to be consumed by the bacteria. You can't have it both ways! It seems these fellows really don't have clue. frank key -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
