Either ingest or *create* too large a particle. Ingestions of high concentration silver salts of various sorts seemed to cause large silver particles to precipitate in the skin. Those particles, as in Rosemary's terrible case, are too big for the body to re-absorb or to tranport by any means. Result? Permanent disfiguration. It *does* seem that nobody has had problems with electrolytically produced preparations, whichever "recipe" is chosen to make them. The particle size range is within the range that is transportable by the lymph system, apparently, and is eventually secreted in the feces. Between that and the dramatically lower doses of electrolytic CS that seem to be required to be effective, people have not been turning blue, despite at least a few years of steady use by some leading proponents (and marketers, presumably!). > Silver powders were used often.

Those preparations, made by grinding silver metal in a morter and pestle, or some such crude method is *one* common way they had of administering silver way back when. As recently as the fifties, I think, physicians prescribed throat lozenges, nose drops, and other such items, made from high concentrations of silver *compounds*. These also produced discoloration. > If anyone is concerned, they should make sure the product they are > using is of a true colloidal size, not a mixture size made by some > cheap DC colloidal silver makers, which do not make "colloidal" size > at all, but make mixture size (larger). It is quite possible that low voltage DC systems will produce a *different* distribution of particle sizes than high voltage DC or AC systems of various design. The several makers of expensive high end units may indeed have perfectly fine products, but... > Even so, the people using the products from cheap DC makers have > not reported a single case of skin coloring, but have reported a > tremendous benefit. Exactly! One of the reasons we have not and probably will not declare any one product or technique superior is that they all seem capable of working, based on the only real data we have, which is the experience of those who have been using them. We've several satisfied users of CSPro and MotherLode and other high voltage systems. Given their several hundred dollar price tags, I'm certainly glad these folks have gotten good results! At the other end of the spectrum, you can easily buy, for under $100 US, or build, for under $50 US, a low voltage system that will produce CS that people have used to effect improvement in some pretty serious conditions. A cure for all diseases, as some claim? Certainly not! Effective at times? Yes. Remember, Jim, that the low voltage DC systems have a place for their simplicity, low cost and survivability. Our job is to work up standard recipes, with reproducable, documented results, if people are really going to benefit from them. High end systems, such as yours, will serve others' needs quite well. Thank you for acknowleding both sides of the issue. Be well, Mike D.
