I'm not good at math, but by my calculations it would take 8 and 1/2 years to reach the minimum amount of retained silver to turn blue if the CS was 20 PPM and you drank a quart a day.....every single day. Take a few days off and you pretty much start over?

Worst case Data: 94% elimination of silver from "silver compounds" every 48 hours.
3  grams minimum total retention. [per 100 pounds of body weight?]
 Minimums vary between 3 and 8 grams from study to study.
..and no indication of incidence of those who vastly exceeded the minimum that also turned blue. [No known maximum..the majority who didn't go Smurf at any dose rates weren't counted]

Agyria incidence in silver workers: 1 case in 2 thousand after daily exposure to dust and fumes..for how many years? Total intake of a gram a week, or more, wouldn't be too surprising. [Inhaled dust does make it though the blood stream]
[What is the corresponding incidence of Selenium deficiency?  Not studied.]

Oxidized silver "on" your scalp will make a zero contribution to a case of Agyria. It may stain the surface brownish to blackish, but that's not Agyria.

Selenium is part of the bodys' metals retention defense mechanism and is itself regulated by the body. You can't regulate something that's not there in sufficient quantities. If it is there, the body regulates how much according to need.

Copper is a needed trace element. Copper is everywhere!..in sufficient concentrations to kill. Selenium is part of the mechanism that removes or prevents absorption of copper, keeping amounts at optimal.
Very very few people suffer from copper toxicity...or deficiency.
Chromium is another needed metal that is quite toxic.
Too much common zinc, you die.

In short, it would appear that if you do manage to go Smurf, it's not "just" the silver that did the deed. Stan Jones managed it to some degree, but how many thousands [millions?] of people did the same thing, or worse, and didn't? That's unknowable.
 "They" don't make the news.

That guy who used 450 PPM in pints per day of [whatever it was] and turned grey is the ONLY one who did that?

 "Could" and "will" are two completely different animals.
It's not likely you'll fall off a cliff in Florida...OR in Colorado, where such a thing is possible. Common sense and a sense of balance play their roles making statistics without accurate context meaningless.

I have been told for a chronic lyme condition that I would need to consume 20 oz./d of 20 ppm CS throughout the day for an extended period, possibly years.I would also need to spray it on my scalp that has been severly affected. I also understand that sun exposure oxidizes the silver. I live in Florida and am constantly in the sun for many hours a day and full time in the summer. It has been posted many times that sun exposure greatly increases the extreme effects of agyria. I also heard that selenium can render CS less effective because of the mineral removal. Is there any way to quard against agyria when taking continuous high doses of homemade silver with constant sun exposure? Also, is there any natural alternative to gatorade for incresed effectiveness or is it best taken alone to decrease chances of forming silver chloride from electrolytes?
