I wanted to respond to several posts, and instead of posting several times, I have responded shortly to each one in this post.
Ode Coyote said, The association of the name "blue blood' and silverware use is pure speculation..and HIGHLY unlikely. Of course, the use of silverware would not create Blue Bloods. It was the practise of grinding up silver into powder, stirring it into liquids and drinking it that would do it. See next paragraph. Jason said, The most predominant cause of argyria is actually fine silver particles, taken in through the lungs via environmental/industrial exposure (silver mines, metal smithing, etc.). This is the dynamic behind the Blue Blood affect large silver particles getting caught in the capillaries of the skin and turning dark from exposure to light. Inhaling it would do it, but drinking it would also. Matthew said, A solution of 0.1 M silver nitrate will put 0.1 moles of Ag+ ions into solution for each liter of water. The atomic weight of silver is 107.87 grams per mole. So the concentration of Ag+ will be 10.787 grams per kilogram of water, or 10787 milligrams of silver per million milligrams of water. This comes out to 10,787 ppm. OK, I would certainly fear argyria resulting from a 10,000+ ppm preparation! Edith said, Have you tried stone crush tea? Edith, have you any idea where to obtain this tea? Let us all know, please. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
