Colloidal Silver, Effect of Microwave on

The silver being a metal, I would think it would be harmful to the microwave if nothing else. But, I doubt there has been a study done of microwave/colloidal silver action. Don't really know.

Thanks, I actually did a google search, and could not find anything related to this topic. If anyone has any information on it, I'd really like to know.

It would be better to heat the colloidal silver using conventional methods. Microwaves provide energy and makes water particles vibrate and heat is generated. With silver it could heat up even faster as the conductivity is higher. With aluminum there is a real danger of fire as aluminum has a low melting point. I think silver also has a low melting point and could evaporate and gum up the microwave or even catch fire as the hot silver will burn the plastic parts of the microwave oven.

Good point. The possiblity of colloidal silver posing a fire hazard when heated through the microwave didn't cross my mind. Thanks for the tip. However, does conventional heating of colloidal silver through a stove have any negative effects on the solution?

I personally would opt to take longer to absorb the silver. Too much too fast might be detrimental.

Warming up the water slightly could increase absorption, but yes, room temperature might be the safest course. It would be interesting to find a study that would determine the rate of dermal absorption that is safe for humans. Maybe start with mice first (LOL).
