Sorry ! I added an extra CS... in subject

Yes, you are right. It was related to silver nitrate,
silver nitrate is not elementar silver. I corrected it
immediately in my text, hope it is an isolated error.
Will take an other look to medline for this issue in
the next days.
The following data source was used:
Rumack BH POISINDEX(R) Information System Micromedex,
Inc., Englewood, CO, 2005; CCIS Volume 125, edition
expires Aug, 2005.

and they say:
Silver toxicity:
....On average, argyria occurs after administration of
1 gram of elemental silver by injection and 3.8 grams
by ingestion.
The estimated acute oral fatal dose is thought to be
10 grams (form of silver not specified) but ingestion
of 30 grams has been survived...
Here we find this calculated 3.8 gram value for
possible argyria again.
LD50 Rat (male) oral >5000 mg/kg
The US-EPA publishes an oral reference dose (RfD) that
is based on a threshold for certain toxic effects such
as cellular necrosis. In units of micrograms per kg
per day and is an estimate of the maximum amount of
daily silver exposure that is not associated with any
deleterious effects over a lifetime. Current RfD for
oral silver exposure is 5 micrograms per kg per day.
An average (european) 70 kg man: = 350 µg/day
A possible therapy using silver for inner use should
respect this RfD and must at the same time permit a
daily intake that must be clearly over the daily
food-intake-level of silver (otherwise we are talking
about a hormetic or homoepathic dosage, or i can eat
some mushrooms). Absorption is estimated to be only
10% (only one isolated info source says 18%). Finally
an effective dosage (leading to the desired ppm s in
tissue) must take in account the distribution of the
drunken silver-containing liquid in a possible
body-volume of 50 liters. If concentration of drunken
liquid was 10 ppm/l and somebody drinks 0.1 l (100 ml)
he will disolve 1 ppm in ~50 liters leading to 0.02
ppm = 20 ppb in target tissue if distribution would be
equal.
But because of long half-time for absorbed silver
tissue-values will increase if somebody has a regular
intake of such a 10 ppm liquid.
These questions and facts (and the issue of
silver-sensitivity of different pathogen agents, and
agressive MLM selling here in Germany by 18 years old
youngsters whithout knowing what they sell) are the
reason why i would not consider such a therapy for me
or people asking me. Externally: why not if you
respect correct dosage. But everybody is free to do
what he or she wants...
