Naila and hair are actually the same thing.  Same material, main difference
is the form, and the coloring.

Hi Marshal:

Thanks for the link.

Actually, the conversation went like this:

Damian asked a question about nail growth, Steve answered first, then Peter
answered You can tell by the # of  in the email.

However, all that aside, I think you are right, but I don't think that the
fingernails are exclusively made up of these proteins.  As an example, the
amount of boron found in fingernails is 4X the amount found in the
bloodstream ( normal levels ).

Steve is pretty certain about the role of calcium carbonate, however:

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/zoo00/zoo00265.htm

It's an interesting topic, and I've been looking into it a bit deeper.

Good Morning, Sharon.

Thank you for your thought-provoking insight.
It reminds me of the Arthur Conan Doyle story of

The most conspicuous lack of melanin in some
Africans is in their nails. Maybe Caucasians share this
trait with their brothers and sisters in Africa and
the Melanesian Pacific Islands and the indigenous
First Nations of the New World, but don't even
realize it. This suggests the hypothesis that, indeed,

Re: CSReversing Argyria

2004-03-18 Thread cvincer

Hi Matthew,
This certainly desearves further scrutiny by all who injest silver in what 
ever form. I have a feeling that the onset of darkening/blueing under the 
nails may be the onset of argeria, and is not only dose dependant but is 
also body condition dependent.  It would be nice if we found out by careful 
monitering of our own nail beds, reporting and comparing notes, and putting 
all the info together (even though it would all still be anectdotal) that we 
could control and eliminate argeria by seeing it's onset before it occurs.  
Then, when needed, we could up our intake of supplements like selenium 
combined with reducing our intake of silver etc.  Of course this would not 
normally be required, but it would be good to understand it better and know 
what to do for one of our loved ones who don't follow directions or 
understand it all as well as we do.  It's fairly common to convince someone 
to take an alternative supplement without them bothering to learn enough 
about it to do it right...  I'm careful not to encourage the uninformed to 
take something, but sometimes it happens anyway...

Hi, Vince,

I agree. The program you outline would fill a great
unmet need.

Best regards,

Re: CSReversing Argyria

2004-03-18 Thread Jason Eaton
Greetings, all:

The issue concerning the discoloration of the fingertip moons is most likely
directly related to metabolic functions.  I don't think it is per se a
precursor to cosmetic argyria of the face, as one does not always get this
condition before cosmetic argyria of the face, just the same as this does
not always occur with the whites of the eyes.  In other words, one does not
have to get the fingernail condition before the facial condition, and
getting the fingernail condition may not indicate an impending facial
condition, although obviously it may be wise to address the dietary
situation when this occurs in the fingernails.

It seems possible that what is happening is that the silver may be, directly
or indirectly, binding with calcium carbonate in the body, via conditions
present in the biological terrain.

I find it unlikely that we'd be able to unravel this complex mystery very
easily, but it is interesting to note that extremely significant changes
occur in calcium distribution in the body based on changes in PH levels.

I also do believe that it is quite possible for silver to crystalize, rather
than simply bind with proteins, in certain conditions, such as reported by
one of Trem's customers.

Calcium has been shown to crystallize in alkaline conditions in the form of
calcium carbonate.  Calcium carbonate is the primary substance of fingernail
production.

I'd venture, however, that the lymphatic system plays a role, as if it
didn't, we'd likely see equal darkness with the toenails.
