Hi All, Here's a good website that has a lot of info regarding colloidal silver (it's history is very interesting; I remember as a kid some of the immigrants in our town would gather wild mushrooms and they cooked them with a silver coin; if the coin turned black, the mushrooms were not to be eaten, so apparently this was an old-time way to determine if mushrooms were bacteria-laden (or otherwise poison?)).
The website recommends adjusting the dose by body weight for animals and this is what I have been told regarding almost all alternative medicines by the herbalist I consult. I use it myself when I feel a cold coming on, or sinusitis which I am prone to (I think my sinus cavities are about the size of a fruit bat's from repeated infection!) and I find it very beneficial. Like anything, it can be toxic in very large doses and I think some of the reports of graying skin (it will happen) are about people who have ignorned the dosage guidlines and taken way too much and taken it for too long; that's another thing about this supplement, I do not believe it is for everyday use for extended (months) period of time. I think, unfortunately, somethines the traditional medical community uses incidents like Jenn reported seeing to really bash the world of alternative medicine. Anyhoo, here's the link: http://www.all-natural.com/silver-1.html I hope you find it helpful! Julie
