"He ingested approximately 16 ounces (~ 450 ml) of 450 ppm colloidal silver three times a day for 10 months. He reported improvement in his arthritis; however, he discontinued the treatment when his skin began to turn gray."

## Do you suppose he could have survived the first day of that much silver at 20 PPM?
Isn't that like 18 gallons of water a day?

Daily use of large quantities of silver sludge is not recommended..

The elimination rate of silver is around 94% in 48 hours.
There is a minimum threshold of silver 'retention' for producing Argyria.
I don't recall the exact figures nor am I good at math, but the consensus is that people don't live long enough to retain enough silver at 20 PPM and under while consuming the quantities of water that are survivable.
Then
Argyria is not a "given" if that threshold is surpassed. It's actually quite difficult to study as it so hard to induce on purpose in animals even when using massive injections of 1000+ PPM silver citrate and silver acetate. One research paper I read after following links on Rosemary Jacobs 'bluelady' site indicated extreme frustration on the researchers part in producing or finding subjects to study. He went to the silver industry where workers are exposed to mega quantities of silver on a daily basis expecting to find some subjects. What he found was an incidence of Argyria at around 1 in 2,000 silver workers..and very little absenteeism from colds and flu.

It would be interesting to see how many syphilis sufferers who used silver arsphenamine turned blue. Humm...really hard to find anything, but it was 70,000 cases in 2000 when syphilis, easily curable "now", is relatively rare. We know of "one" who used nose drops (Argyrol, a silver proteinate) for many years who did turn blue...that being Rosemary.

"Gaul and Staud (1935) reported 70 cases of generalized argyria following
organic and colloidal silver medication, including 13 cases of generalized "..argyria following intravenous silver arsphenamine injection therapy Argyria developed after a total dose of 4,7 or 8 g in some patients, while in others, argyria did not develop until after a total dose of 10, 15 or 20g." [No mention of how many people "others" doesn't include and didn't turn blue at any dose or just what their "colloidal silver" was. 4 grams is like injecting an entire electrode all at once!! Ok, being very hard to treat and no latex condoms around, maybe we can assume a number of cases ten times that of the year 2000?.....700,000 cases? {seems a bit high, but maybe}..... huge doses of silver in whatever form, in how many people resulted in "70" cases of Agyria..only 13 of which were "generalized" Agryia??]


"The authors concluded that argyria may become clinically apparent after a total accumulated i.v. (intra-veinous) Dose of approximately 8 g of silver arsphenamine. The book entitled "Argyria. The Pharmacology of Silver" reached the same conclusion."

All these cases appear to have been caused by the ingestion of silver compounds or silver powder. None were caused by the usage of liquid colloidal silver. Furthermore, the most common cause
appears to be related to treatments involving injection of  silver compounds.
As an additional consideration, the EPA reports that 90 to 99% of ingested silver is excreted through the gastro-intestinal tract within two (2) days.
