Silver is not an immune system booster but rather an adjunct to it. 3. Silver works by disabling pathogens so that they may not proliferate, thus lessening the work required by the immune system to clear the infection. 4. The metallothioneins which the body uses to chelate and eliminate toxic metals are used to eliminate silver also. If high doses of silver are present these proteins may not be able to eliminate toxic metals as readily, and if overwhelmed, may result in the deposition of silver in the tissue. 5. I would use silver in fairly large doses at the onset and throughout the course of an infection, split into many small doses during the day, and discontinue silver use once the infection has passed. 6. I would use silver as a preventative before eating suspect food, close contact with infectious persons etc., and as a disinfective in the kitchen (notably inside the refrigerator) and bathroom. Regards, Ivan. >>
Ivan: Thanks very much for you insight. I'm particularly interested in item (4) which I will repeat, piece by piece, here. 4. "The metallothioneins which the body uses to chelate and eliminate toxic metals are used to eliminate silver also." Can you provide a reference that supports this statement with regard to colloidal silver? "If high doses of silver are present these proteins may not be able to eliminate toxic metals as readily, and if overwhelmed, may result in the deposition of silver in the tissue." Proponents of colloidal silver have been telling us that it will not cause Argyria at practically any level of concentration/ingestion rate. We have all heard of individuals who continue to take massive quantities of it without any negative effects. I myself took 2.3 mg per day for several months without any noticeable impairment. So in light of these observations could you please expand on your statement above? Thanks, Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
