what happens to the silver when digested when not capped? I have a silver edge gen and cannot cap with it. Is it still effective when not capped?
If you actually cannot cap the nanoparticles, or reduce them in the first place, then it is likely that the amount of silver oxide produced by your machine is so low as to be ineffective anyway. Most of the "lesser machines" are actually quite good at making Ionic Silver Oxide, but they tend to have little control over the concentration of the final result, and they also tend to waste silver by producing a large amount of plate-out and/or fall-out, mainly due to a lack of understanding of the chemistry involved, by the manufacturer.
My view is that the Argyria risk from ionic silver salts
at low concentration (20 ppm) is probably small, but as it is so easy to make nanoparticles, it is pointless to consume ionic silver and thereby increase the risk of Argyria. Uncapped nanoparticles
in theory are just as effective as capped, but the stomach acid reacts with them too readily, so they need to be shielded as well as possible (capped) until after their passage through the stomach.
The greatest secret of this website (apart from the web address of the SilverTron Store!) is the knowledge that the addition of sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide to the distilled water will make the process controllable, fast, repeatable, and not "pollute" the end result with silver salts other than silver oxide. The second greatest secret is that the Ionic Silver Oxide can be easily reduced in a controllable manner to make true nanoparticles (true Colloidal Silver). Ionic Silver Oxide is NOT Colloidal Silver, although most websites assert that it is.
To test your machine output, take a small amount of the end product, add a drop of Karo or Golden Syrup, and heat using a microwave in a large vessel to boiling. No yellow colour = no oxide to reduce.
All our production methods start by making Ionic Silver Oxide (Ionic Silver Oxide) in an alkaline solution. This is then reduced to make uncapped silver nanoparticles, either by heat or by adding a reducing sugar or both. The resulting Colloidal Silver is then capped with cinnamon or gelatine (preferably the latter). These processes are normally done at the same time, but can be demonstrated sequentially.
