I believe that the reason silver is as nontoxic as it is...and does what it does, is because it has NO niche in cellular biochemistry. Therefore it is not a mineral supplement. Not being a trace metal, it will not overload a system that uses a given trace metal. All trace metals can be easily overdosed on...especially copper and chromium. Several metals in colloidal form have the same anti pathogenic properties as silver, Copper, and zinc among them, but they also have a biochemical function whereas silver has no known function and can range free to do it's thang.
