Advanced Silver Solution

Further to my last posting on Heavy Metals causing health problems, I thought it might seem contradictory when I regularly advocate the use of the advanced colloidal silver.  I thought therefore that I would clarify a few points.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) produces Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) reports on toxicity of various substances.  The IRIS report for silver in general (not just colloidal silver) states that the “critical effect in humans ingesting silver is argyria, a medically benign but permanent bluish-gray discoloration of the skin”.  It continues that argyria “is not associated with any adverse health effect”.  Whilst it is nice to know that the worst effect of silver is benign, nobody wants to end up looking like an extra for the X-Men.  Fortunately the IRIS report notes that argyria “is now a rare occurance”.  It is rare because a large quantity of silver is required and the silver particles have to be quite large in order to get trapped under the skin.  Most modern colloidal silvers use nano-particles which are too small to be trapped under the skin and pass through the body quite easily.

The same IRIS report also states on the 5th page that numerous tests were completed as to the absorption and retention of ingested silver in a range of test animals which included primates (a catagory to which human beings belong).  Bearing in mind that this report refers to silver in general and not the nano-particles in modern colloidal silvers, the work concluded that between 90% to 99% of the ingested silver was excreted by the second day after consumption and greater than 99% was excreted in less than a week.  So most silver passes through the body quite quickly and was found not to build up in the body.
