Colloidal Silver & Hydrogen Peroxide Produced by White Blood Cells
There are many proponents of peroxide therapy and there is significant evidence that hydrogen peroxide with colloidal silver produces a significantly more potent CS (for an overview please visit SilverMedicine.org ) However, to my knowledge no one has suggested or investigated the posibility that peroxide produced in the body interacts with colloidal silver particles to produce the enhanced CS noted above.
One of probably many reasons that this is of interest is that it may help explain why ceertain ailments respond rapidly to CS treatement while others respond less rapidly.
There are 5 main types of White Blood Cells (WBC aka leukocytes) ...
# neutrophils 40 - 75 %
# eosinophils 5 %
# basophils 0.5 %
# lymphocytes 20 - 50 %
# monocytes 1 - 5 %
... white blood cells are mostly produced in the bone marrow though some are produced in the lymph nodes and spleen.
Of the 5 neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are collectively known as granulocytes due to easily identified granules in their cytoplasm which contain digestive enzymes.
Within the cytoplasm of granulocytes are lysosomal enzymes, defensins, and lysozymes. These enzymes produce hydrogen peroxide which is a powerful anti-bacterial agent in it's own right BUT "my" belief is that in the presence of colloidal silver some of the peroxide produced reduces the silver particles to even smaller sizes.
This reduction in particle size would facilitate silver particle migration into cells as well as provide greater CS coverage. The ability of leukocytes to sense increased concentrations of chemicals released by the immune system (chemotaxis) and move via ameboid motion to that location may also facilitate CS penetration. Additionally it is not clear whether the presence of CS particles increases the production of leukocytes. If it does then CS may serve multiple roles in combating microbial agents.
Since WBCs are frequently part of a bodies response to bacterial attack it would makes sense that those maladies that prompt and direct a WBC immune response AND are susceptible to CS would in fact heal more quickly as a result of the combined effects of the leukocytes AND enhanced CS.
