Do you know the state where this person resides? Is the area he
    stables his horse selenium deprived?  The CS might not be a factor.
**** Hi Dianne. No -- I don't know where this person lives. The
    same thought crossed my mind -- that the selenium deficiency was a
    result of forage or feed that was selenium-deficient.  I highly
    doubt that CS is a factor, but rather is being misconstrued as the
    culprit.  I was hoping that the knowledgeable folks here could
    debunk the theory with facts -- so that I could go back with an
    intelligent rebuttal, and suggest other causes.  Thanks for your
    thoughts -- they're good ones.  MA
There really isn't any rebuttal, it is a known fact that CS will tend to deplete selenium. But it is not a problem. Selenium is easy to supplement, and if taking a large amount of CS over a long period of time, advisable to do so. If you supplement, then there is no problem. This is addressed in the paper I wrote some time ago which has been referenced several times here recently:

http://silver-lightning.com/theory.html

"This can occur when the level of EIS exceeds some amount, which seems to vary depending on the person, and whether they are deficient in vitamin E and selenium or not. Vitamin E and selenium have a prophylactic effect on argyria, and on the blueing of the fingernail roots. Apparently taking silver over time can also cause a loss of selenium and even a deficiency. If you take EIS over long periods of time it is suggested that you supplement your selenium intake ( Natural sources of selenuim are listed at Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet: Selenium <http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/selenium.asp>, and Brazil nuts are very high in selenium)."
