Although there are people who receive blue skin from taking "colloidal silver", the truth is they don't take colloidal silver, they truly take silver ions produced from electrolyte water with a silver bar, or other silver ions which aren't chemically resistant. Pure colloidal silver doesn't readily react with any substance, and thus enters and leaves the system without turning into salts.

I agree with you, Robubba. The nanoparticle in silver is basically the frequency of silver. The frequency is the smallest particle and is the size our cells use. Anything bigger is too big for our cells. That is why most supplements do little to no good. The particle size is too big. This is where we get into the science of Quantum Physics, where everything at it's most basic level is a frequency or energy.

Back to the article. the only reason I can think of that they want to put nano-silver in the paint is maybe to keep the walls "disinfected"? Not that the walls ever get sick! Maybe if we hug a wall, we'll get better? Ha!

I love this idea, but metal allergic reactions would make it hard to implement. But this is one of the better ideas people have.

Why should painted surfaces be anti-bacterial? Our bodies need exposure to bugs to build and maintain a healthy immune system. What will be the effect of these nano particles on the environment and animal life when the paints eventually break down? Silver may be a safe a natural substance but nano particles are not natural therefore there is no guarantee that they are safe.
