Colloidal Silver cream

Colloidal silver and ionic silver are NOT the same. Colloidal silver is metallic silver broken up into tiny nanoparticles and these particles do not have an electric charge (loss of electrons), noted as Ag on the periodic table of elements. Colloidal silver nanoparticles are suspended in the water. Ionic silver particles have an electric charge of +1, are noted as Ag+ and are dissolved in water as opposed to suspended. 

When ingesting (by mouth) ionic silver it reacts with hydrochloric acid in the stomach and most of the silver ions form silver chloride, which has no therapeutic properties. The remaining amount of silver ions (having a positive electrical charge) become attracted to the first healthy human cells they come in contact with (human cells have a net negative electric charge around it). The bulk of the silver ions will be removed and sequestered in the cells of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Some ions will remain and will be absorbed into the blood. Most of the silver ions in the blood will be removed by the liver and excreted in the bile. But some silver ions still remain and circulate in the blood and some of them will be reduced (given an electron to make it metallic silver or colloidal) by glucose and other reducing agents in the blood. Other silver ions will enter healthy cells and remain there unable to kill any pathogens. The silver ions are also unable to escape from inside the cells because they have bonded with sulfur and selenium normally found inside the cells. A very small amount of reduced or colloidal silver remains in the blood available to kill pathogens. Although colloidal (metallic) silver has no electrical charge (resulting from an electron loss) there is a net negative charge around the particle (zeta potential) and since healthy human cells have a net negative charge the colloidal silver and the human cells repel each other so no silver can enter inside the cells to cause any damage. Since bacteria carry a net positive charge the silver particles as they approach a bacteria will be attracted to it. When the silver particle and the pathogen are in very close proximity an electron from the silver particle can jump to the surface of the pathogen like a lightening bolt. This bursts the wall of the pathogen. Simultaneously, the silver atom that lost its electron becomes a silver ion (Ag+) and becomes released from the silver particle and this silver ion can enter the pathogen to damage it more. It may take more than one electron to destroy the pathogen and luckily silver nanoparticle may have thousands of silver atoms (not ions) in it.

The best way to distinguish ionic silver and colloidal silver is as follows:

1) Ionic silver is silver oxide made by passing current through silver wires in water. Silver oxide is not very soluble in water but the little that does dissolve creates the silver ion and oxide ion. Ionic silver solution is clear in color and has a metallic taste.

2) Colloidal silver nanoparticles are tiny spheres of pure silver dispersed (suspended) in water. The suspended particles give the water a yellow color and it is tasteless.

Welcome to my website!  My name is Monika and I created the JaSuis brand. I am a one-woman show. The cream I offer here is home & hand made and adheres to GMP standards (good manufacturing practices) as recommended by the FDA. I graduated from Fordham University in 1997 with a Bachelor’s of Art in Natural Science. In 2000 I graduated from Long Island University, The Arnold and Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy.  

In 2013 I embarked on a health journey that continues to this day due to some health issues. During these years I explored many topics, colloidal silver being just one of them. As a result I have assembled a large library.  So as a gift I will be re-reading all of the books so that many of you out there can benefit from this information without spending the time reading them yourselves. I do however highly recommend for you to read them. I will be posting the reviews in a predetermined order so as to paint a picture. The review will provide a synopsis of the author’s most important points. My comments will follow at the end. 

For those who enjoy bible verses I have created the "Biblical Treasures" section with my views of selected verses. I hope you find them insightful.

If you appreciate and would like to support my work please consider purchasing a cream from my shop. If you have any questions or comments you can email me at info@jasuis.com. Consider subscribing on the "Latest Book Review" tab and you will get an email when a new book review has been posted. Please visit often as there will be many treasures for you to find.
