Ionic silver complex

The invention relates to a substantially non-colloidal solution made by combining ingredients comprising (a) water; (b) a source of free silver ions; and (c) a substantially non-toxic, substantially thiol-free, substantially water-soluble complexing agent.

EXAMPLES 
 Example 1 Two and one-half liters of pure water were placed in a 5-gallon (1 9-liter functional capacity) carboy mounted on a magnetic stirrer with a Teflon-coated magnetic stir bar placed inside the carboy, turning on the stirrer at low speed, adding 6.7675 grams of citric acid anhydrous powder (reagent grade), 11.43 grams of potassium citrate monohydrate crystal (reagent grade), and 2.2450 grams of silver oxide powder (reagent grade), stirring at low speed for approximately 45 minutes. Next more water was slowly fed while continuing to stir at low speed for approximately an additional 15 minutes and stopping the water input when the level reaches approximately 8-9 liters. Then, the stir speed was turned to high and stirring continued for approximately an additional 30 minutes, filling the carboy to approximately the 18-liter mark, turning off the stirrer, opening the water input valve and stopping the water input at precisely the 19-liter mark, turning the stirrer back on to the high speed, and stirring for an additional 60 minutes. 
 Example 2 A 65-year old male developed conjunctivitis and obtained relief within less than five hours upon administering two drops of the solution of Example 1 in his eye. 
 Example 3 A sixteen-year old female had been suffering with acne for three or four years. A dermatologist had been treating her regularly to no avail. She applied six sprays of the solution of Example 1 three times per day to her face for three days and stopped using products from the dermatologist, and by the end of the third day the skin on her face cleared up almost completely. There was no dryness or redness any more. 
 Example 4 A 45-year old male had been diagnosed with lymphatic cancer and after taking an oral dose of one teaspoon of the solution of Example 1 per day for two months, tests showed that not a trace of the disease remained. 
 Example 5 A 31-year old male and a 28-year old male who work together in the same store had both come down with a full-blown flu. Both took fifteen drops of the solution of Example 1 in an oral dose, one time, and within a day-and-a-half both were completely free of any further symptoms. 
 Example 6 A one-year old male was diagnosed with a blocked tear duct in his left eye. Every day, he awoke with a green drainage that continued through the day. Two physicians recommended surgery. The boys mother administered only one drop of the solution of Example 1 in his eye each day for two days. The condition disappeared. Upon a follow-up nine months later, the condition had not returned. 
 Example 7 A 53-year old woman burned the back of her hand on a 450-degree oven. The burn was approximately an inch-and-a-quarter in diameter. After a week, it still had not begun to heal. The pain was still so bad that she could barely move her hand. She put two drops of the solution of Example 1 on it. By that same night, it had completely scabbed over and the entire circumference of the burn had already generated new tissue. The pain was completely gone and she had regained complete movement of her hand. Within about four more days of applying the invention, it was completely healed, without any scarring. 
 Example 8 A 61-year old male had developed a urinary tract infection. A urologist put him on sulfa drugs for twenty days. He suffered through a week of constant nausea, at which point he threw out the remaining pills. He then began to ingest 30 drops of the solution of Example 1 per day, and after three days the infection was no longer detectable. 
 Example 9 A forty-four-year old male developed abscesses surrounding two wisdom teeth. Three oral surgeons told him the teeth had to come out. He applied approximately one teaspoon of the solution of Example 1 each to each of the two affected areas. By the next day, the infections were undetectable and the pain was gone. A follow-up eleven months later showed that it had not returned. 
 Example 10 A twenty-four-year old woman developed a vaginal infection. The doctor's prescription didn't help after almost two weeks. She then mixed one half-teaspoon of the solution of Example 1 in pure water and used the mixture as a douche, and the discomfort disappeared almost immediately and had not returned upon a follow-up three weeks later.
