Re: Colloidal Silver Prevents Colds & Lung problems
RE: PS) The Research Facts on Argyria from a man drinking 23 oz of silver a day for 5 years, with photos. The skin only turns blue/grey when exposed to direct sunlight, and it IS somewhat reversible by avoiding the sun or using sun screen. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2861249/
While I would never discount the severity of bioaccumulation related to silver products, I am however particularly interested on the data provided in the report with respect to pathology and the silver product in question. ie,
... the patient had ingested colloidal silver on occasion for at least the last 5 years. We estimated that the mean amount of daily ingested colloidal silver to achieve a concentration of 0.15µg/ml is 700 ml. This gives one an idea that the total amount of ingested colloidal silver for the last 5 years comes to 0.2 g. ...
Taking note of the following:
1. The report does not account for the solution type(silver compound, protein etc).
2. The report does not account for the frequency of ingestion or intake (ref: on occasion)
3. The report does not account for the intake methods (swallowing, placed under tongue, on skin etc)
4. The report does not account for the chemical reactions leading to the accumulation of the observed silver compounds in the patients in question.
In short, the report offers no significant pathological data whatsoever.
Having said that, I've been taking a Colloidal silver solution 3 times per day, every day for over 4 years. And while I haven't observed any signs of skin discoloration to date, I am prepared to accept that this remains a reality for me down the road. To which I'd add, I would take no issue in sharing the relevant facts and data leading to the condition after the fact. Though to date, things are looking quite good.
PS. Solution: 20ppm Colloidal Silver solution made with Lab grade steam distilled water and .9999 silver. Intake: 2.0 Oz taken 3 - 4 times per day, (held under tongue 5mins), every day for 4.2 years.
