20 PPM silver water just isn't all that much silver, but you have had exposure to some very high concentrations for quite a while. Even 20 PPM ionic silver is retained "some", but to reach a threshold required to turn blue would take using it *instead* of water for longer than the average [normal] person lives. If nitrate blackened skin had to peal off, could be that a lot went *through* the skin and built up to threshold 'behind your back" so to speak. If Mexicans are using concentrated silver and don't know how strong they are making their treated water..and aren't turning blue..could have something to do with a lot of Cilantro in Mexican food? ...and maybe adequate Selenium in the soil, making that available in the food.

I'd get my skin analyzed to see if its actually silver..hair analysis could give you a time map to help nail down a source to avoid.

It is said that the chelation therapy is lots of Cilantro, Selenium supplementation and Vitamin E

Rosemary Jacobs is splotchy due to failed attempts to mechanically and chemically remove the coloration.

If you don't look blue to you..maybe people are jerking your chain? "WHO sez? " [Do they know each other?] If you are quite fair skinned, brown skinned people might think you look sorta blue. Some lighting systems put out a lot of blue light that make blondies look like zombies.

Hi Everybody,

I don't look blue to myself, but some people tell me that I look blue to them, and this is becoming annoying. I do make the 10 to 20ppm, ionic silver, and drink this, however I have little doubt that this would not cause the blueness. After all, it's in solution, and the body eliminates this. I'd appreciate any observations.

I'm still not convinced that this couldn' just as well be redness, and that people think it to be blue because they've heard about argyria. Or I suppose that it could be cyanosis, which apparently has something to do with de-oxygenated blood, close to the surface of the skin.

If I am turning blue, I'm supposing that this could also have been caused by a couple of factors. 1. For about ten years I've been teaching workers in potteries, around the world, to manufacture their own silver nitrate, using very pure silver and nitric acid.

This makes AgNO3 very inexpensive, by comparison to the commercial product, but clearly requires safety precautions. In the beginning, especially, I was making occasional contact with the silver salts, turning my skin black. After five days or so, the blackness would peel off.

2. Three or four times a year I travel to the so-called third world, and put drops of Mexican-made, concentrated CS into drinking water, to help with viruses, Montezuma's revenge, etc.

A friend has told me that the coloration is sometimes more noticeable and sometimes less so. I understand that there is chelation, to make such color go away, but I know little about this. And doesn't argyria tend to make the coloration splotchy? Any thoughts anyone?
