Yes, I could have worded that better! Part of the confusion is because the folks at EC decided to sell their Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) in an amber glass bottle as many people are not comfortable with plastic bottles due to leaching issues. Apparently, EC chose to use amber glass as an added protective step to help insure the best quality of their product over the long term. If you look at MesoSilver's AgNP product, it is in a clear plastic bottle. EC could have done the same, but I think Deirdre is trying to supply the highest possible quality that she can to EC members.
So to answer your question, yes, the product that EC is selling is the same AgNPs that I make and use, not ionic silver. I have made yellow 20ppm AgNPs, the same as EC sells and left it sitting on the shelf for years with no agglomeration, no loss of color, no sediment or clouding over a period of about 3 years, as a test of the stability of the product. It stayed yellow in color and and remained crystal clear!
When I make higher ppm concentrations over 80 ppm up to 320 ppm, it is almost impossible to tell the clarity because it gets too dark, like black coffee, but that is the norm with higher ppm concentrations. When I get to the bottom of a bottle of 320 ppm, there is never any sediment and I do not filter my 320 ppm batches. That is one sign of a very stable batch of high ppm, especially if it has been sitting for a year or more on a shelf.
When you dilute the 320 ppm back to 20 ppm, you can see the clarity of the batch and the color comes back into the yellowish range, but closer to light amber because 320 ppm requires a different capping agent to prevent agglomeration when the ppm concentration goes above 40 to 50 ppm. This capping agent causes the slightly darker amber color.

But Mainly, I'm writing because I wanted to know if the picture of the Earth Clinic Colloidal Silver is the silver that you are talking about? Possibly your recipe? I am seriously considering purchasing a bottle, Denise

Argyria
Colloidal silver is a broad spectrum antibacterial and antiviral with modest antifungal qualities. It also has anti-inflammatory qualities, but that aspect of CS is not as well studied. Other forms of silver such as silver chloride may have more potential to cause argyria, but not a ton of research on that aspect.

Mind you, many of these women were still working an 8-10 hr day working underground in mines. Attributed no doubt to their daily use of silver. As for Agryia, a full article (including photos of The Blue Man) are available on WebMed the medical site that many health practitioners use, and especially when you tell them that you use it.. It's like the Holy Grail of CS.
My new specialist was horrified when I told him I sprayed it on my ulcers, which ultimately improved out of sight, I might add, but he printed off the article from WebMed just to show me it causes blue skin. We know that it is utter rot because you'd have to be consuming a lot of large doses daily. And generally unfiltered. Today we are more sophisticated! We filter everything, sometimes twice depending on it's use and I have never had a bad reaction to anything I have applied it too. Only good stuff.
My second specialist is a really old guy who was delighted when I told him I was using CS as an antibacterial spray. He told me that in the days when penicillin was only new, Dr's still used CS for antibacterial use, along with Potassium permanganate for washing....( as much crystals as would fit on the edge of a matchstick) so I too use both with excellent results. One thing tho, CC stains permanently on material and can leave your fingers and your containers with brown stains that will eventually fade.
This has gone a bit off track but is all true and excellent stuff!
