I have never heard of any adverse effects (other than argyria) from colloidal silver of the type we make which is about 10 to 20 ppm made with pure silver and distilled water. I have never heard of seizures from this type of CS, or any other Colloidal silver, for that matter.
However, I think it is incorrect to say that it is "impossible" to get argyria from "properly made" CS. If you have been paying attention on this list there are reports of several people who have gotten mild cases of argyria, but all of them were taking massive quantities for very long periods of time. Quarts or more a day for many months or years. Many others have taken large quantities for long periods of time with no argyria effects. I did a calculation at one time and determined that if one imbibed 1/4 cup of 10 ppm colloidal silver daily, that would be equivalent to the amount of silver that the EPA would allow in drinking water for a person who drinks a couple of quarts of water a day. So, presumably, one could take 1/4 cup of this daily for life and have absolutely no adverse effects per this EPA guideline. But, just as one would take a large dose of antibiotics for a short period of time but would not think of taking that dose continuously, I think one could take considerably more CS for a limited period of time without causing any fear of argyria. My feeling would be to give an infant or child 1/2 to 1 teaspoon at a time, and if they have an acute condition, repeat that about 3 times in the day or hourly, if necessary, and reduce frequency as they improve.
