The guys did the math, and the amount of silver in Colloidal preparations was pretty miniscule even for large quantities ingested. Chuck >>
Chuck: Which, as Ivan has pointed out, is NOT true for typical silver nitrate preparations. Perhaps THAT'S why, from a purely delivery perspective, only silver compounds cause argyria. It's not the FORM of silver that causes argyria (since, according to Ivan, the body can only absorb silver ION), it's the amount, which, for all practical purposes, can be delivered only by silver compounds. This idea may help us examine the longer term issues. If studies can be cited whereby ingesting silver in the form of its compounds has no ADDITIONAL long term side effects (beyond agyria), it is practically impossible for CS to have them. If, on the other hand, such studies connect silver compounds with OTHER long term negative side effects, long term CS studies would still be needed to demonstrate such a connection.
