From “The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual":
“Many colloidal silver users claim that argyria is caused when the liver and
kidneys become so overwhelmed with excessive silver intake, that they cannot
process it from the body as quickly as it is being taken into the body. This
assertion makes sense to us, though we have yet to see the medical evidence for
it. Many of these users also assert that taking 200 mcg. of selenium and 400 IU
of vitamin E daily will help protect the liver from potentially toxic effects
of excessive silver intake. This contention is apparently based on animal
studies conducted in the late 1960‟s and early 1970‟s, which apparently
demonstrated that when rats were fed extremely high levels of silver in water,
relative to their body weight (140 mg/kg/day), they developed a deficiency of
selenium which in turn inhibited the synthesis of the seleno-enzyme glutathione
peroxidase (which is crucial to proper liver function). This apparently caused
liver toxicity. Interestingly, when the researchers added small amounts of
selenium and vitamin E to the rat‟s daily diets, the liver damage was
completely eliminated, even though the excessively high daily levels of silver
water were still being given to the rats. The daily dosage of selenium and
vitamin E given to the rats were later extrapolated to human usage as being 200
mcg. of selenium and 400 IU of vitamin E. But while this is intriguing
information, and certainly worthy of further study, we must warn that to our
knowledge there is absolutely no confirming medical research to demonstrate
that this will work in humans in the same way it apparently worked in rats."
There is an anecdote on the internet of a claimed reversal of argyria but to my
knowledge no one else has claimed success with it:
“About two months ago, I was contacted by an individual with an amazing story:
This individual utilized 32 ounces of silver chloride daily for 2.5 years and
cured a very late stage case of neurosyphilis. individual to become argyric.
The silver chloride was produced in ten minute batches using the 3 nine's
method of production with no controls. I have since spent quite some time on
the phone with this individual.
The second part of this story: By ingesting large amounts of a high
concentration silver salt, the individual acquired argyria. It was likely a bit
more severe than Stan Jones, but certainly not an aggravated condition like
Rosemary Jacobs' agryria. It was bad enough to turn heads in a grocery store.
However, this individual didn't stop with eliminating his lethal condition. He
also reversed the argyria.
Many have long discussed the possibility of using Vitamin E, Selenium, and
other supplements with a cleansing program to reverse the condition, however,
we've never seen someone actually accomplish it. It took six months of
dedicated effort, but the individual's skin complexion returned to absolute
normal. Furthermore, the individual stopped taking the supplement program,
resumed silver use, and his skin began to change once again. Whereby he resumed
the supplementation, and the skin returned to normal. Apparently, the silver
build-up in the body when it reaches high enough levels to deposit visible
silver in the skin is quite extensive. The process of removal is slow, but
effective. Furthermore, the individual actually had spirochetes in the eyes;
the only thing that remains is slight scar tissue, and the individual, who was
losing the use of the eyes, can see perfectly fine. The list of symptoms with
such an event is extensive. The individual was near liver failure, and within
three months of initial silver use, was all but completely restored to full
health. Fevers spiking 3-5 times daily, a chronic and severe lung infection,
inflammation of the liver, shut down of the body's elimination systems, loss of
reduction of cognitive ability, extreme and disabling fatigue are among the
symptoms that fell to the power of this...Silver Chloride. Obviously silver
chloride as a product is not equal to the superior isolated silver products.
However, the question remains: Would consuming isolated silver have delivered
enough actual silver content to the body to be effective in this case?
A Cure for Argyria: The Formula
3 Vitamin E 1000 mg 100% Natural d-alpha Tocopheryl
1 Selenium 100mcg (yeast free)
2 vegetarian Vitamin C 1000 mg
1 teaspoon MSM organic
1 super potency Vitamin B 100,
1 teaspoon of Kelp powder:
Taken every morning with two 16oz glasses of water, with close to a total of
3/4 of a gallon drinking water a day."
Just as an FYI, the following are from Appendix 9 of “Spacecraft Water Exposure
Guidelines for Selected Contaminants: Volume 1”. Free download of book
available at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=10942). It provides an
extensive review of silver toxicity and was performed for NASA's use of silver
in space vehicle water treatment.
“Even though silver salts are not metabolized in the typical sense, silver
salts that are transformed are reduced to metallic silver. It was suggested
(ATSDR 1990) that the deposition of silver in tissues is the result of
precipitation
of insoluble silver chlorides and silver phosphates and that those
silver salts are transformed to silver sulfides by forming complexes with
amino or carboxyl groups in proteins or are reduced to metallic silver by
reduction with ascorbic acid (Danscher 1981). Buckley et al. (1965) identified
silver particles deposited in the dermis of a woman with argyria as
silver sulfide. Similarly, Berry and Galle (1982) reported that deposits of
silver in the internal organs of rats were identified as silver sulfide. Silver
seems to interact with other metal salts, especially with selenium in the diet
(Berry and Galle 1982, as cited in ATSDR 1990)."
"Factors That Influence Silver Toxicity
Diplock et al. (1967) reported that vitamin E and selenium in the diet
could significantly influence the toxicity of silver. When weanling Norwegian
hooded rats fed a basal vitamin-E deficient diet were provided drinking
water containing silver at 970 mg/L (as silver acetate), all rats developed
liver necrosis within 2-4 wk and died. In another group, when selenium
was added at 1 ppm to the vitamin-E deficient diet, and the drinking water
contained silver acetate, only four of nine rats died. In another group that
was fed a diet containing vitamin E and was sacrificed after 50 d of silver
exposure, no liver necrosis was found. Bunyan et al. (1968) reported similar
observations in rats exposed to silver at 650 mg/L (as silver acetate) in
drinking water. Liver necrosis was seen when the dietary selenium was
reduced. Necrosis was induced at much lower doses of silver (80 mg/L).
Vitamin E appeared to reverse that effect. Also, Grasso et al. (1969) reported
that when silver (silver acetate) was fed either in the diet (at
130-1,000 ppm, or 4-33 mg/kg/d) or in drinking water (97.5 mg/kg/d) to
vitamin-E deficient rats, fatal necrosis was noted. Alexander and Aaseth
(1981) reported that depletion of liver GSH by diethyl maleate decreased
biliary excretion of silver into the bile. Selenite also inhibited the biliary
excretion of silver and increased its retention in the tissues. It was suggested
that selenite formed an insoluble complex with silver that retarded biliary
excretion. It is not clear if that is in any way related to the effect of
selenium-containing diets in reducing the GSH peroxidase (see Wagner et
al. 1975, described above)."

Subject: CS>Getting Rid of "Blue Moons"
I recently had a friend point out that I am developing "Blue Moons" on my
fingernails. Can anybody recommend a remedy? How long should it take to get
rid of them?
I think they started when I was experimenting with CS as a deodorant and mixed
the CS with some of a "mineral stone" deodorant. The combo has worked great
for a year or so as a deodorant...NO odor! Kinda bummed with the Blue
Moons...it creates a bit of a problem when I am recommending CS to someone and
they are concerned with "turning blue".
Thanks,
SS
