My fingernail moons have always had a very slight violet/gray cast.
After googling extensively and watching this list for a few months, it seems
to me that argyria must be about as rare as hen's teeth...
There would have to be at least a hundred known cases for it to be
considered even a "rare side effect", if we were talking about some FDA
approved med. :)

BTW, yesterday I started attacking my MRSA using the  protocol reported by
Brooks Bradley, consisting of 75% CS, 10% DMSO, and 15% glycerine. I put it 
in a nasal spray bottle, using a syringe as a measure.
I don't think I have breathed this freely since childhood, if even then.
My cats won't tell me if I snored less than usual, but I'll bet I did. :)
I also woke up two hours earlier than usual and feeling quite rested.
My right ankle, which for several years now has been swollen and itchy, is
just a bit smaller and less red this morning also.

Up until now, the MRSA has been kept in check by topical and internal use of
CS alone, but my symptoms of swelling, itching, cellulitis, and boils have 
quickly
gotten out of control whenever I slacked off using it. I am hopeful that this 
new method will actually rid me of the infection altogether.

Cheers,
indi
