Hi, I recently bought some colloidal silver online. supposed to be 20ppm, but it is clear, which makes me think it's Ionic silver. How can I convert this to Colloidal as it's supposed to have a gold tint? I received 500ml. Is there a ratio in the process I can use for any amount?

Thank you for this site, great info here.

Yes, you can convert it if it really is ionic silver, but there is no practical way to know what it actually is.

To convert 500 ml of ionic silver to colloidal silver, you would have to add 10 drops of the Karo Light 50/50 (syrup/distilled water) mix to it and heat it to almost boiling. If it is 20 ppm ionic silver, then it should reduce to colloidal silver and should come close to the color of baby shampoo.If it were mine, I would take 1/4th of the bottle and add 3 drops of the 50/50 Karo Light to it and heat to near boiling to see what happens.

Which is better to consume, ionic or collodial?

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try 1/4 of the solution and experiment with your tips.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 3 drops of Karo, and heat it to about 140 degrees (IE: it doesn't have to boil).

Since there is no issue with plateout, baking soda is sufficient.

Colloidal Silver Vs Ionic Silver

Ionic minerals are the naturally occurring form of minerals found in plants. Colloidal minerals are those that have not yet been converted into a bioavailable form for the human body. But you say reduced back to colloidal is better??

Star,

Silver as used for AgNPs is a metal.

Studies show that colloidal silver ("AgNP") is less toxic to normal human cells than ionic silver and colloidal silver is more efficient at getting Ag+ to where it needs to be inside of pathogens and also at helping to prevent Ag+ from entering cells indiscriminately as this can eventually lead to argyria with long term high dose use as Paul Karason did using an unknown form of silver that he made himself at home and took in large quantities every day. AgNPs release Ag+ when the silver particle comes in contact with different pathogens. The Ag+ then enters and destroys the pathogenic cell.

This is all a gimmick. Nano silver is inert and needs to release the Ag+ ions in order to combine with the negative charge from the pathogens and deactivate them. It is much faster to use Ag+ in the first place. Converting Ag+ ions into nanosilver is like making tomato soup and then converting it back to whole tomatoes in order to eat it! If you are not aware of the science, please read it at this link https://www.truecolloidalsilverfacts.com/ The link is FULLY BACKED by science.

astrid,

I went to the link that you provided as scientific proof to support your claim, and there was not one scientific study to support the claim that you or the writer made. So basically, he is just giving his opinion of his understanding of the science. He is not a scientist, just the seller of a device that makes ionic silver.

I'm not saying you are right or wrong, but it seems that if you are going to make the claim, " FULLY BACKED by science," it seems like you should provide some scientific studies to support the claim or claims, in the writer's case. You didn't, and the writer of the article that you linked to, did not provide links to scientific studies that would support that claim.

Sorry but many studies show the 12 fold increase in efficiency and reduced human cell toxicity form nano colloids versus ions.

Please remember the human body has a digestive tract and many very strong chemicals that will react with ionic silver long before it can do any good.

A friend makes colloidal silver but it is clear, which I hear means it is not true colloidal but actually ionic. I was given some, can I reduce it to be actual colloidal?

EC: Yes. Please read Art and Bill's posts in the thread we attached your post to.

Hi David,

Studies suggest that colloidal silver is more effective, but anecdotal evidence suggests that ionic is effective also. The majority of newer studies use the colloidal form. I use the colloidal form and that is what my friends have used to good effect.
