I am not sure that one can compare silver chloride with ionic silver. If one adds salt to ionic silver, it does seems to cause argyria. There have been reports of this. Assuming that the EIS changes to silver chloride in the stomach is an assumption, pretty much impossible to prove either way. I am not sure it is that simple or everyone using eis might be getting argyria.

I think this study has a lot of value. Why on earth would you assume the Lab made an error? I think that the prior assumption is what is questionable. The body has very complicated biochemistry.

I am skeptical of the study because it is contrary to every other study of silver that I have seen. I know some will say that EIS is different than any other type of silver studied but what must be the majority of EIS ingested is ingested as silver chloride after conversion in the stomach. And some studies have used silver chloride with different results. Some issues:

*The daily excretion rate
*Primary excretion via urine vs feces
*The assumption the all silver is eventually excreted with no basis for the claim
*The percent of ingested silver that that enters the bloodstream

Too bad some test data on single daily dose in a non silver-loaded condition is not provided along with a single daily dose in a non silver-loaded condition of a non EIS form of silver as a control sample.

There are some other items that give concern. Bit given what is provided I would have to believe that the measurement of silver by Kimball Labs must be faulty.
