> BUT DON'T FORGET THE EVILS OF AGYRIA!!!!!!!! > [waving arms & panting!] --Russ
Even drinking the largest-particle electro-colloidal silver I could make (dark purple or brown), I would still need to drink more each day than I am able to drink, over an very extended period of time, before argyria would reach the level of faint possibility. The discussions of argyria that have occured on this list and elsewhere have demonstrated to me that nobody even knows what causes argyria. The two schools of thought seem to be that, 1. Argyria is caused by ingesting large amounts of a silver salt (over an extended period of time), which somehow photosynthesizes into silver metal (catalyzed by light) which is trapped in the skin pigment. 2. Consuming large amounts of silver or silver salts in particularly large particle size (such as mechanically ground up silver) for an extended time. Neither of these eventualities are related to the consumption of electro-colloidal silver. Neither the amount of silver nor the largest possible particle size of electro-colloidal silver is remotely close to any known intelligent theory of the cause of argyria (excepting inane claims made by the FDA). The fact remains that, "We could not locate a single case of orally consumed colloidal silver manufactured in the last 25 years causing Argyria in our review of the literature. Alexander G.
