The nanosilver v/s
ionic colloidal silver debate has heated up on the internet once again, and based on the
questions I’m receiving it’s clear that people new to colloidal silver usage
are more confused than ever by the conflicting reports.
So here’s the
bottom-line facts in a nutshell, so you’ll never again be confused about the
profound differences between nanosilver and ionic silver. Once you understand the simple facts below,
you’ll never again be taken in by all of the nanosilver nonsense…
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for The Silver Edge…
Well, it looks like Dr. Rima and others on the internet are up
to their old tricks again, claiming that only nanosilver is effective against
Ebola, and that the ionic form of colloidal silver is not effective at all.
Setting aside the question of whether or not any form of silver has ever been proven
effective against Ebola (see my previous article, here),
the idea that nanosilver is “more
effective” than ionic colloidal silver is just plain silly.
Here's the bottom line:
Ionic silver is, and always has been, the active, infection-fighting form of silver. That’s such a profoundly well-known fact, anyone stating differently truly ought to be ashamed of themselves – especially anyone portraying themselves as an “expert.”
Ionic silver is, and always has been, the active, infection-fighting form of silver. That’s such a profoundly well-known fact, anyone stating differently truly ought to be ashamed of themselves – especially anyone portraying themselves as an “expert.”
Here’s what the real
experts have to say:
"The antimicrobial properties of silver are due to the silver
ion..."
-- Romans, I.B. 1954. Oligodynamic metals. In Antiseptics,
Disinfectants, Fungicides, and Chemical and Physical Sterilization.
Philadelphia, Lea & Febiger, 388-428.
“All silver-based antimicrobials act against bacteria through the
action of silver ions (Ag+)…Unique qualities of silver
ions are: Low risk for bacteria resistance, effective in very low
concentrations, no human toxicity”
-- Dr. Murray J. Height, Ph.D, Chief Technology Officer, HeiQ
Materials, Silver Nanotechnology Working Group
“It is the silver ion (Ag+) that provides silver with
its unique recognition as the healthful metal. Its bactericidal activity is
unique because though this ion breeches walls of bacterial cells, it does not
do so to mammalian cells.”
-- Samuel F. Etris, The Silver Institute, writing in Silver Compounds
As you can see, the
experts agree that it’s the silver ion (i.e., ionic silver) that is the active,
infection-fighting form of silver.
And if you don’t
believe me, or the experts above, see the comprehensive documentation in the article
“Experts Agree: It’s the Silver Ion That
Gives Colloidal Silver Its Antimicrobial Power” at this link.
All other forms of
silver – including nanosilver -- are effective against pathogens only to
the extent they’re able to shed silver ions inside the human body.
In other words, for
silver to be effective against pathogens in the body, it must be in the ionic state.
If it is not ionic when it’s ingested, it has to be converted by the
body into the ionic form before it can be effective against pathogens.
Once again, let’s
turn to the experts:
“…conversion of silver to silver ions is necessary for
efficacy.”
-- Albert T. McManus, MD, Chief of Microbiology, Brooke Army Medical
Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Army Burn Center, United States Army Institute
of Surgical Research
“…the free silver ion is the
active agent, with evidence that silver’s antibacterial activity is directly
proportional to the amount of silver ions released.”
-- Electrolysis of Nano-Silver Suspension Into
Ionic Form Via Membrane Electro-Osmosis Process
As Alan B. Lansdown, Britain’s top expert on antimicrobial
silver explains in his book for doctors, “Silver In Healthcare: It’s Antimicrobial Effects and Safety in Use,”
metallic silver (i.e., nanosilver) is inert.
That means it has no infection-fighting qualities whatsoever, until it
comes into contact with acidic bodily fluids and begins to shed silver ions:
“Metallic silver (i.e., nanosilver) is inert in the presence of human
tissues but ionizes in the presence of moisture, body fluids, and secretions to
release the biologically active Ag+ (i.e., ionic silver)”.
-- Alan B. Lansdown, Silver In Healthcare: It’s Antimicrobial Effects and Safety in Use
In other words, once ingested, nanosilver must first be converted by the body into
ionic silver in order to have any
infection-fighting benefits whatsoever.
So why bother to use nanosilver, when you can ingest the
active, infection-fighting form of colloidal silver – the ionic form -- instead?
Here’s what the purveyors of nanosilver don’t want you to
know:
The ionic form of colloidal silver has been the #1
best-selling form of colloidal silver in the entire world for over 60
years. And that’s because, pure and
simple, it works best. Every reputable medical and clinical expert on
silver agrees.
The claim that nanosilver is more effective than ionic
silver is ludicrous at face value, considering the fact that nanosilver has to
be converted to ionic silver in the human body before it can be effective
against pathogens.
If you’re going to use colloidal silver, you want to use a high-quality, very small particle size ionic silver, because it's ALREADY in the active, infection-fighting form and thus does not need to be converted to ionic silver inside the human body like nanosilver does.

To learn more, see my new website explaining the profound differences between metallic silver, nanosilver and ionic silver at this link:
If you'll read that web page carefully and thoughtfully,
you'll know more about the differences between the main types of colloidal
silver than 99% of all people, including most of the so-called
"experts" on the internet.
Those claiming that nanosilver is “more effective” than
ionic silver know that once you discover you can make their own high-quality ionic colloidal silver for a few pennies per quart, you’ll never
again buy over-priced commercial “nanosilver” products.
It’s that simple.
Nanosilver is a neat little buzz word. But it’s just tiny metal particles of silver suspended
in water that, once ingested, must first be converted into the ionic form in
the human body in order to work against pathogens.
It’s the silver ion
that does all of the work. Period. Dot.
End of story.
So the more silver ions in your solution, the more effective it’s going to be. That’s the indisputable fact of the
matter. The very best colloidal silver suspension
is one composed of 100% pure, unadulterated silver
ions, like the ones you can make with a new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver
Generator from The Silver Edge.
Learn the facts at www.TrueColloidalSilverFacts.com,
and the purveyors of colloidal silver gimmickry will never again be able to
pull the wool over your eyes with their nonsense.
And if you’d like to learn how to make your own,
high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver (pure, unadulterated ionic silver) for less than 36 cents a
quart, click this link.
Meanwhile, I’ll be back next week with another great article on
colloidal silver….
Yours for the safe, sane and responsible
use of colloidal silver,
