I could also care less if I turn gray or blue, at least a little, but after almost 4 years of taking silver daily, a good swallow or two, or several more if I feel like I'm coming down with something, I have not only had no colds, flu or flu shots, but have also not even a hint of blue or gray except a little bit in fingernail moons, and that only under fluorescent lights. Doesn't sound like a big deal to me. I'd rather be well than pink.

It would be interesting to see the results, but I bet there aren't many! And given people's fears, I know for certain that if I told the people I know who are taking EIS that they could get argyria, (even if they only take the smallest amount) then they *wouldn't* take it, and would lose out on all the benefits. I don't think its worth this for such a remote possibility, especially as argyria is not life threatening and reversible. Also, I can't understand why if people start to get a tinge of colour, why they don't stop taking it? dee > > >On 27 Jan 2010, at 17:05, Norton, Steve wrote: > >When people use EIS, they don’t necessarily have the perfect lifestyle, diet, >habitat, supplement consumption or the ideal physiological processes.
