If you go to Rosemarys links and read the documents carefully, you'll find that rather than supporting her case, they disprove it. There's some pretty slick distractive and context shifting techniques used to make studies "look" like they are about colloidal silver but turn out be be about massive doses of silver compounds...and I mean MASSIVE! They were trying to induce silver poisoning and argyria in animals and pretty much failed to do so at any dose level of any compound. NONE of the studies had anything to do with electrocolloidal silver despite the header at the top of the collection of studies.

One researcher expressed frustration over the difficulty in producing argyria no matter how hard he tried, no matter what he used. One went looking for cases and found that only about 1 in 1000 silver miners and other silver workers that inhaled a lot of silver dust every day developed argyria. [and silver workers rarely got sick] It's such an extremely rare condition that even in worst case scenerios it's difficult to produce enough cases to study it.
 Now, two questions:
If doctors used to prescribe whatever it was [certainly not electrocolloidal Bredig sol silver] that Rosemary used at the doses that she used it at, for the period of time she used it ...where are all the other cases? Only one case out of how many thousand possibles?
 If it, whatever it was, doesn't work, why did she take it for so many years?

One of the list members made a FOIA request of the FDA for any cases linked to colloidal silver not long ago. They had ZERO.

The Canadian version of the EPA has determined that silver is 1000 times more toxic to microbes than it is to mammals.

The USA EPA s [conservative] max recommended level of silver [in any form] in daily drinking water exceeds what a normal amount would be for people who make their own CS and use it regularly.

That said, check out Stan Jones. He did manage to turn himself a little bit blue, but he had to practice a total lack of caution with bad information in order to do so. He was making his own in tap water. No telling what it was he made or how strong it was [he doesn't know either]...and he drank a LOT of it for years. Even then, one case out of how many thousand people who may have been throwing caution to the wind over the past 20 years or so? It's probable that there are other factors involved.

Yes, we all know about Rosemary.  She was given silver compounds by a quack
doctor, and it gave her argyria. For some odd reason she has joined forces with
the phams and doctors who gave this to her, and claims that it was caused by
colloidal silver, which is patentedly false. Everyone on this list is still
looking for one single case of Argyria caused by properly made CS. I suspect she is on the take from the pharms for her assistance in stopping this from putting the pharms out of business. There is a lot of money at stake, and a lot to lose
when people are no longer perpertually sick.
