Silver has no biological niche in body function, yet is eliminated by
the same methods as many metals that do.
It can cause necrosis in tissues, but the amount it takes is enormous
compared to other metals.
A study was done to discover how much sliver it took to kill dogs in a
single injected dose. It took some doing to figure out how to get that
done due to the limits on the size of a syringe and how much silver one
could concentrate into it without the amount of carrier fluid killing the dog.
A .22 caliber silver bullet would have been far more effective.
It's almost impossible to find these studies anymore, buried in millions
of web pages.
Mosty smurf related, but a few other tidbits:
http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575
Soluble silver compounds are more readily absorbed than metallic or
insoluble silver (Rosenman et
al<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B68>.,
1979<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B69>,
1987<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B39>; HSE,
1998) and thus have the potential to produce adverse effects on the
<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B90>human body
(Weir, 1979). Acute symptoms of overexposure to silver nitrate are
decreased blood pressure, diarrhea, stomach irritation and decreased
respiration. Chronic symptoms from prolonged intake of low doses of silver
salts are fatty degeneration of the liver and kidneys and changes in blood
cells (Venugopal and Luckey,
<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B87>1978).
Long-term inhalation or ingestion of soluble silver compounds or colloidal
silver may cause argyria and/or argyrosis (Nordberg
<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B59>and
Gerhardsson,
1988<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B29>; Fung
and Bowen, 1996; Gulbranson et al.,
<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B35>2000).
Soluble silver compounds are also capable of accumulating in small amounts
in the brain and in muscles (Fung and Bowen,
<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B29>1996).
Silver in any form is not thought to be toxic to the immune,
cardiovascular, nervous, or reproductive systems (ATSDR,
<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B5>1990) and is
not considered to be carcinogenic (Furst and Schlauder,
<http://annhyg.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/49/7/575#B31>1978).

The FDA has NO document records of any danger from colloidal silver.
I [not "me" ] wrote to the FDA under the Freedom of Information Act. I
requested all information in the agencyís files that showed deaths,
allergic reactions, harmful drug interactions or argyria resulting from
colloidal silver use. This is what the FDA has to say:
...we have searched the records FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS)
and
has been unable to locate any cases that would be responsive to your
request....

Since I have had chronic Lyme Disease, I read quite a bit about metal
poisoning, ie mercury in fish, aluminum from pans, etc. Â So my question
is: with this in mind, how is CS good for you and how does it NOT
contribute to metal toxicity?
By the way, if any of you have answered a previous question and I've not
responded, I apologize. Â I am still new to the list, and at times quite
overwheilmed by the all the posts that appear. Â Two days away from the
computer and I fall quite behind. Â Also, my illness affects the length of
my productivity per day.
Peace & Abundant Health!
