Snip:

"Silver ions delivered by nanoparticles to bacteria promote lysis, the process by which cells break down and ultimately die, which makes silver nanoparticles a superior and widely used antibacterial agent. New research by Rice University found that silver ions, not the particles themselves, are toxic to bacteria. They also found that ligands in the vicinity of a bacteria can bind silver ions and prevent them from reaching their target."...

Sorry thought it said Irons. Carry On! :p

We all have good bacteria in our bodies as well as bad. I have wondered what happens to the good ones when taking C. silver?

The thinking is ill-causing bacteria are much more primitive and basic compare to the good flora (bacteria) that reside in our guts. EIS/CS/silverwater Ions and multi-atom size particles of silver are attracted by the negative field of these primitives. Thus the Ions /and Ag atomic size particles are drawn in and begin to clog the primitive respiratory system of the bacteria and sufficate it to death.

In Viruses the Ag ions attach to receptors on the outer surface of the virus which prevent it from attaching to the healthy "victim" cells the virus needs to replicate itself.

On occasssion some first time EIS/CS/silverwater users do have issues caused by EIS/CS/silverwater. This is easly countered with some probiotics. Either in the form of pills/capsuls, probiotic yogurt, or sweet acidopholis milk.

Very first timers should take no more than a tablespoon of EIS/CS/silverwater at first. A very minute percentage of people are allergic to silver.
