Thanks. funny you should post this, I just happened to watch a video with Thompson where he eluded to what you are saying. It sounds good in theory, however, I wonder if clinically it is relevant. I know some people use silver on an on-going basis, but I think most people gravitate to it when they are challenged with microbes, etc. Some experts do not like nano-liver, because it is a nano molecule, but the nano-silver has only very small amounts of silver, so maybe it wouldn't have the same competing problems.Hi @Dave Clark,
In chemistry, elements were originally placed in the same column of the Periodic Table due to their similar properties.
This was later explained by the way electrons arrange themselves in peculiar orbits around the nucleus.
Copper, silver and gold are in the same column. They all have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell - the part of the atom that interacts with other atoms.
Eg. Copper and gold have a similar property in that they have pretty colours in their metallic state, whereas most other metals look like stainless steel.
We might expect cells to sometimes deal with silver and copper in similar ways, yet get slightly different results.
Another example is cadmium or mercury being toxic because they can displace zinc, but they don't always behave like zinc.
The body can deal somewhat with common metals in the same column like sodium vs potassium, or calcium vs magnesium, though we should probably consume them in the genetically expected proportions!
Heavy metals are rare, and there may not be any systems to detect and reject the impostor elements!
I wouldn't eat silver or gold foil on fancy chocolate cakes unless you want royal medical problems!
