Hello Elle, et al, My current belief is that diarrhea is the symptom of too much Ag sol all at once. This might be good if one is dealing with a lower gut infection.
I have heard one anecdotal report of a very sick and weak older man who would get loose bowels with only a few tablespoons; other than that, I have never heard of any effects of too much. I have drunk about a liter a day to control a dental maxillary infection because I ran out of Keflex before the tooth could be pulled. Nothing noted except less pain and swelling. Normal doses of sol had not controlled the infection. I think it is a circulatory issue. I have heard of people drinking 1/2 gallon a day, to deal with Hepatitis C or cancer, but I do not have any detailed information about such. The 3.8 gram/day toxic dose value was arrived at by a Johns Hopkins PhD who was (Memory?) head of the Life Sciences Division, following an extensive literature review. That article is in the archives....somewhere. According to Brooks Bradley, the only infections that do not respond well to CS are some molds. According to Dr. Bart A. Flick, of Silverlon fame, no one has yet found a bacteria that is not quickly immobilized by very dilute concentrations of CS. They tested one that lived in silver bearing soil, and it was resistant. After culturing it for a few generations in a not-so-high-in-silver environment, it too succumbed. JOH -----Original Message----- From: silversurfer1952 .

It was just an abstract thought since it seems that some infections aren't touched by CS. But, if I have 32.7 litres of water total in my body, and to get a 1 PPM solution (just hypothetical and not taking into account that silver gets deposited in tissues?) I would need to take 32.7 milligrams of silver. From what I've read toxicity isn't reached until one gets into the grams of silver rather than milligrams. One litre of 10 PPM contains 10 milligrams of silver, doesn't it? This type of dosing surely wouldn't be warranted on a daily basis, but what about in the short-term for stubborn cases of infection?
