Lou, There are a number of issues that need to be known to try and answer you. And even then there is not an absolute answer since individual physiology varies so much. To stay within the FDA recommended level of silver ingestion you should take no more than 8 to 9 drops of 500 ppm CS if taken on a daily basis. There is roughly 48 drops in a half teaspoon. Since you use it on a periodic basis you should maintain a long term average usage less than 9 drops per day. Ppm is important only as a measure of the total amount of silver ingested. Maybe as important to know is how is your CS is made. What is the name of the brand you use? Some silver compounds are more likely to cause argyria than others. If your CS consists of silver particles then particle size is important. The digestive system is designed to pass only molecules with sizes less than 1.5 nanometers so large silver particles just pass out in the feces. - Steve N

If I need to use it i.e.; cold, flu, sinus infection or just feeling sick. The homeopathic doctor recommends a half teaspoon in 8 oz. purified water. I was talking to a friend and she thinks that this mixture is extremely high for ingestion. I read so much and now questioning it. I have used this for about two years now and no adverse side effects or haven't turned blue yet. Can someone let me know if this is true Thanks Lou
