But you have already made that difference abundantly clear! And while there have been no reported cases of argyria developing from CS, there have been no definitive studies of long term CS use either. So using the studies that have been published as a guide and extrapolating the minimum silver dose required, and relating that to normal CS ingestion, is a responsible and conservative way of deducing safe CS use limits. Fortunately the dose required is huge, and most people come nowhere near consuming this much silver. This is the responsibility you require of me and yet do not practice yourself. I have heard of similar stuations also and I don't disagree with you that ingesting very large amounts of CS is probably harmless, but I don't personally consume near those amounts. > Regardless, I was only advocating taking this much > until the infection was knocked out, not for years, or > even 6 months.
