The minimum cumulative amount of silver consumed and known to produce
argyria is estimated to be approximately 900 mg. over a period of one
year. Some references state that as much as 6 to 10 grams are
required. It probably varies a lot from one individual to another. It is
important to estimate the total amount of silver consumed in
milligrams. It probably doesn't matter much whether it was colloidal or
ionic, just the total amount that the body absorbed.

Donna, if your skin is grey, you've consumed some huge quantities (and I
mean many, many grams) of extremely large-particle silver which was NOT made
electrolytically. What, exactly, have you consumed; how much; how long?
