Silver nitrate is the medical form of silver- it is known to cause argyria. Other silver salts may also do that. It is different than our ionic silver- far stronger, and less effective ( in my own opinion). It also is not as stable, being ionic, so may not be as commercially viable for the pharma industry.

I am interested in the statements about silver going into the liver, adrenals and spleen. Some of the symptoms of chronic fatigue seem to be caused by the adrenals functioning on the low side. If there are pathogens in the organs, that would compromise them, and if the silver goes into them, it would kill the pathogens. Also going into the brain sounds good to me too, since some psychoses are caused by parasites, and probably other pathogens in the brain.

If the level of silver is small, as with ionic silver, then the deposition should be minimal, and no problems should result in people with normal metal elimination systems and no nutritional deficiencies.

This is from another group arguing about cs...
"Most of the absorbed silver is transported through blood as a soluble colloid with plasma protein. The plasma protein that is most commonly bound with silver is albumin, forming silver albuminate. The blood level of silver in argyremic patients is reported to vary from nondetectable to 0.005 mg Ag/l [6]. However, Blumberg and Carey report a single patient whose spectrographic analysis of blood reveals blood silver levels of 0.5 mg/l, approximately 1 week after discontinuing the use of silver nitrate capsules [7].

Some of the silver in plasma is carried as a salt and may be deposited in various tissues after being reduced to its metallic form. The highest concentrations of silver are found in the skin, liver, spleen, and adrenals. Although originally believed to not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, it has been shown now that parenterally administered silver salts can accumulate in neurons and glial cells of the brain and spinal cord. The amount of silver deposited in the various tissues is directly proportional to the blood supply of the respective organ."

It can't be stated any more clearly than that.
