"Dan" - My replies are below as ***

Everyone please understand that I'm fairly new to this and I do not declare myself has an expert on CS. I must say that I have been taking CS for the past 6 month and I stand firm on stating that it does work.
But here are some of the questions that these reports bring up:
Does CS accumulate and retain in the body?
*** The ionic form is released at roughly 98%/24 hours. Silver salts, are often retained, as most are poorly soluble and larger molecules - lower bio-availability and thus stored in your body, if they can not be passed out! The salts are also many 100's or 1,000's of times less effective then ions of silver! I.E. the better the Cs the more effective and less
risk.

If so will it cause Argyria  with the long term use of CS?
*** Yes, with as low as 2 grams total! The EPA safe dose is 14 teaspoons
of 5PPM/day for 70 years (based on the assumption you retain a small amount
daily)! OR, you would need to drink 500 gallons in one dose to get that much retained. That is also based on the 10% of sensitive people - others may tolerate 10 times more!

What is the dosage for a lifetime usage before it accumulates to 8g silver (the average total dosage which one report claims someone may contract Argyria)?
*** see above more realistic figure of 2 grams.

What is the time period that the body needs to excrete CS?
***see first response!

Does sunlight increase or accelerate the effects of argyria in CS usage?
*** Yes, but you need to take silver salts to worry about it - only poor water
or additives can produce them.


And then there is the questions of carcinogenicity of CS?
***None so far as the EPA, FDA and others clearly state!
