Whatever one takes in is "utilized" or "excreted" by one's bodily
adaptogenic efficiency at the MAXIMUM rate regardless of the amount.

Agyria was caused from POORLY PREPARED SILVER SOLUTIONS and the use of
SILVER SALTS.
The usage in the documentated cases of the above produced agyria in rare
instances after continual daily abuse style usage for 7 to 14 years and/or
from taking the preparations intra-nasally.

You cannot use volume homemade silver preparations without upsetting the
electrolyte balance of your system and disturbing homeostasis of the body
from the unknown homemade contaminants and byproducts introduced by the non
existant quality control that will enevitably also bev present in untested
unmonitored homeade solutions.
But besides the contamination problems:
For clarification of the amounts necessary when dealing with blood
concentrations here are the facts re what some practitioners have reported:
A high dosage of mild silver protein at 30 ppm. which sometimes reaches 3
bottles per day=118.291 mL./bottle (which is 4 OZ./ per bottle) X 3 bottles
per day=
354.873 mL. per day or ***12 OZ. per day of a 30 ppm. solution***
vs
a typical 1 ppm. homemade solution
means you would have to ingest 30 X 354.873= 10,646.19 mL. per day which is
also 30 X 12 OZ.= 360 OZ. per day
which is nearly
xxxxxxxx 3 gallons per day xxxxxxxxxx
and you would also have to be excreting
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx3 gallons of impurities in your water xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
not to mention silver oxides etc.

>"YOUR PETRI DISH DOESN'T HAVE KIDNEYS!"
snip
Kidneys have nothing to do with the efficacy of an antibiotic.
Excretion is a totally different matter.
Correct blood-silver microgram/L concentrations are the only determining
factor regarding the killing of an invader pathogen as substanciated by data
(without getting into the hypothetical topic of adjuncts to remove the outer
protein surface coating of the pathogen).
One just cannot kill a pathogen without a certain concentration of silver
being present to interfer with the enzymes and/or respiratory system of that
organism much in the same way that an acid cannot penetrate a metal unless a
certain concentration is used.
