Smurfism is due to *retention* of silver in the body from over indulgence plus an abnormal metals elimination system.
It's not the form of silver, but the quantity of silver.. "retained"
With the solubility limits of ionic silver, it's virtually impossible to imbibe enough silver over a lifetime to retain that much before the water kills you.

The "problem" is that people who use salt as a starter and an unregulated generator along with the entirely BOGUS **1 PPM per minute** rule have zero idea how strong they make their EIS and most of it isn't ionic...thus, not subject to solubility limits. Even then, a normal system protects and smurfism is quite rare as a normal elimination rate is around 94% in 48 hours. [98% over 30 days for inhaled dust]
At that rate, it would take several hundred years to retain enough.
Researcher have been unable to study the phenomenon from start to finish because they have been unable to make it happen in a manner anything like reliably [if at all] even using injections at thousands of PPM. One researcher became so frustrated that he went to the silver processing industry and looked at pre safety standards records spanning almost 100 years. He found the lowest absenteeism from colds and flu of any industry and an incidence of Smurf at 1 in 2000 workers.

[Information from links to a collection of research papers off Rosemary Jacobs site before she actually read them and found them to make her claims very unlikely..and removing the links. None of which addressed or mentioned "colloidal silver" anywhere but on the collections cover page. ]

Morning List,

As many people have played around with EICS for many years now, and some would have been privy to better or more comprehensive information at this point in time than I have had access to, perhaps someone can answer the following two questions for me....(a) Can anyone cite me an instance where *true EICS*, ie; pure silver in combination with distilled or pure water *only* has caused or has been stated as attributing to any colouration, at all, from the top of the hair on their head to the souls of their feet or anywhere in between on or in the human body? (b) Can someone also cite me any colour EICS ranging from clear right on through to dark golden or brown having been associated or attributed to 'colouration', if such cases indeed exist?

I'm not referring to proteins, nitrates, compounds, anything having been 'added' to the mix or any other concoction which may have been 'engineered', nor am I referring to particle size, ion/particle ratios' etc, just pure silver and distilled or pure water producing Colloidal Silver using the Low Voltage DC electrolitic method as done in most homes around the globe today. It would be handy also if it was so stated in the article or instance cited that *true EICS* was involved or implicated, and the colour of the solution indicated. I am also not referring to any of the three faces dating back over the last 50 odd years that have been splashed all across the internet as none of these people are relevant to my questions. Any answers directly related to my questions which may be forthcoming would assist me in my determinations.

Thanks...N.
