Vitamin C This is much simpler than the selenium issue. Here is a part of the passage I quoted in the first email:
"Even though silver salts are not metabolized in the typical sense, silver salts that are transformed are reduced to metallic silver. It was suggested (ATSDR 1990) that the deposition of silver in tissues is the result of precipitation of insoluble silver chlorides and silver phosphates and that those silver salts are transformed to silver sulfides by forming complexes with amino or carboxyl groups in proteins or are reduced to metallic silver by reduction with ascorbic acid (Danscher 1981)." It has long been shown that you can form silver particles with silver nitrate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Here is an article on creating silver nanoparticles with silver nitrate and ascorbic acid: Preparation of highly concentrated stable dispersions of uniform silver nanoparticles http://people.clarkson.edu/~nanosci/file/8.pdf "The precipitation process, described here, yields highly concentrated and stable dispersions of monodispersed silver nanoparticles in a simple and cost-effective manner, by reduction of concentrated aqueous solutions of silver nitrate with ascorbic acid in aqueous medium." Here is an old study that uses silver nitrate to determine the location of vitamin C within a cell. by reducing the vitamin C within a cell with silver nitrate: EXPERIMENTS ON THE SILVER NITRATE METHOD FOR THE HISTOLOGICAL DEMONSTRATION OF ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C) http://jeb.biologists.org/cgi/reprint/20/1/14.pdf "It is concluded that it is unjustifiable to infer the whereabouts of ascorbic acid within the cell from the site of the silver precipitates obtained by the silver nitrate method." But you asy that you never use silver nitrate? Have you ever taken CS around the time you ate prepared meat, ham or a pepperoni pizza? They can supply plenty of nitrates to combine with your CS. In my researching, I didn't see any benefit to using high dose vitamin C for eliminating silver in cells but I did see that vitamin C can reduce some silver compounds to metallic silver within the cells themselves. I figure why take a chance? MSM Back to the passage I quoted in the first email: "Even though silver salts are not metabolized in the typical sense, silver salts that are transformed are reduced to metallic silver. It was suggested (ATSDR 1990) that the deposition of silver in tissues is the result of precipitation of insoluble silver chlorides and silver phosphates and that those silver salts are transformed to silver sulfides by forming complexes with amino or carboxyl groups in proteins or are reduced to metallic silver by reduction with ascorbic acid (Danscher 1981)." It has clearly been shown that silver sulfides are part of the insoluble silver compounds deposited in the cells. I found no studies that addressed MSM and silver for any purpose. The second recipe in my first email stated: "2 tsp. of MSM per day. Sulfur (MSM) binds with silver and can help to pull it from the body." I don't doubt that silver will bind with sulfur. After all, that is what silver sulfide is. It is one of the substances you want to get rid of so why would creating more of it help get rid of it? Aren't there other, soluble, substances that would be better to try and create to remove silver? I just don't understand this one. So what do you do? Maybe Heidrun's suggestion is the next best option: "Regarding EDTA removing silver from the skin, I found this on http://www.digitalnaturopath.com/treat/T305361.html:"; "EDTA chelation will remove the blue / gray tinge from the skin, usually with just a few treatments." Personally, I would give it a try. Normally if you take Calcium Disodium EDTA orally you only get around a 5% absorption of the EDTA into the bloodstream. But a paper was published in JANA that showed a 36% absorption rate if taken as a suppository. See: Comparison of the Absorption, Brain and Prostate Distribution, and Elimination of CaNa2 EDTA of Rectal Chelation Suppositories to Intravenous Administration (http://www.detoxamin.com/documents/EllithorpeReprint10_2.pdf) CaNa2 EDTA is easy to buy as a powder and you can make your own suppository. Look online for instructions. It can be as simple as putting the powder in a size "0" gelatin capsule. You also might consider Tetrasodium EDTA. It dissolves over a wider pH range. - Steve N -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
