Hard to say. The body concentrates things it wants to get rid of into the roots of hairs and nails, to put into them as they grow. The diffusion makes it appear that it is indeed in the nails themselves, as opposed to the bed. However my nails have grown out completely several times since the gray appeared in the moons, and the gray did disperse beyond the moons, but has never gone beyond 20% of the way from the bed. I see how concentrating silver in the beds could cause aggregation, and it getting stuck in the bed at the root of the nail. But the apparent diffusion beyond the moon, yet not moving with the nail itself as it grows is puzzling. It is almost like some tissue at the root of the nail moves with the nail as it grows out for a short distance, then somehow turns under and conveys back to the root again. I find this part puzzling.

Does anyone know how the nail grows out without dragging the tissue attached to it with it? Where does the slip occur, between the nail and the tissue, or further down in the tissue? If it is further down in the tissue, then how is the tissue recycled?

Since everything you eat collects in hair and nails where circulatuion doesn't occur, could it be that the silver is "in the nails" rather than in the nail beds, and is diffusing outwards as the nail grows?

Well, the blood theory does not stand up. Coloration due to blood goes away when pressure is exerted on the nail, forcing the blood out of the tissues, leaving them white. This coloration is not affected by pressure at all, except that there is a very slight shift in the tint due to the pink from the blood going away. Here is what I am talking about: http://silver-lightning.com/fingernails.JPG

Note that we have at least 3 reports, not 2, since my wife and I both have it. Also I got mine when drinking very large amounts of EIS to kill Lyme from a tick bite, the timing is I think essential to ascribing the cause. What is interesting is that the the gray initially showed up in the moons only, but over the years has slowly diffused out beyond the moons. Another interesting feature is on the index finger, where a slight injury of the root has for years caused the nail to have a slight white line up the nail, now that line is gray part of the way up.
