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.
Actually it is pretty easy to prove that the ionic portion turns to
silver chloride. Take some EIS and add a little hydrochloric acid to it,
and you will see the silver chloride form immediately.
That would not give people argyria for two reasons. You are forgetting
that EIS contains 10% or so of colloid, which acts as a prophylactic
against argyria, and also that the amount of silver in EIS is very low,
compared to those who have gotten argyria from silver salts. Between
the dosage being too low and the prophylactic effect of the colloid
part, one would not expect to get argyria from EIS, regardless of
whether it forms silver chloride in the stomach or not.

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.

Anyone checked this out before...and if yes, what is your opinion.
