yes, i realized that after all the posts and my searches.

i just have to stay totally vigilant about what gets filtered through her 
kidneys now, she only has less than 20% of them functioning so every smallest 
little thing could be the thing that pushes her over the edge. 

i think i'm going to stop giving her cs just to see if there is any change in 
how she feels.  just in case...

thanks,
angel

  There's no conclusion at this point, Angel. We've had one third hand 
  report of a medical person saying they'd heard there was a problem with 
  some sort of unspecified form of silver.

  Matthew has identified one article that *might* be the source of that 
  caution, but we have not even seen what it contains -- what kind of 
  silver in what sort of quantities over what period of time, etcetera.

  You must decide for yourself what you're going to do, as we always do. 
  We need to evaluate this sort of information as it comes along. The 
  truth needs to be known, whatever it is.

  For me, it's premature to conclude that a few ppm of silver in a few 
  ounces of water per day is going to do anything bad to my kidneys. 
  There's not yet any real evidence, only hints that there *might* be 
  some such evidence, maybe.

  That's my take on it.

  Be well,
