This vet is obviously not a trained homeopath. Suggesting
Argentum metallicum as a substitute for EIS /CS makes no
sense. They are two entirely different modes of treatment.
Homeopathic dilution beyond 12 c contains zero particles of
the original material. They are energetic remedies that
stimulate the body's healing processes. They do not actually
provide a source of minerals even if they start out based on
a mineral.
The fact that this vet does not know that Silver is not a
heavy metal, it is a transition metal,
tells me right off that she is not familiar with the medical
use of Silver.
In fact the term heavy metal is not actually a technical
term in chemistry. According to IUPAC
"the term "heavy metals" is both meaningless and misleading."

If the horses were developing argyria it would seem that
somewhere it would be seen, maybe
the gums, the white line in the hoof, or the coronet band
around the top of the hoof.
If she is resistant to her clients knowing something that
she does not why even discuss the matter
with her. Unless she demonstrates a willingness to learn it
is only going to alienate her and possibly
interfere with further consultations in her area of expertise.
I would not confront her if I wanted to maintain a client
vet relationship.

Maybe she could email Dr Ward or give this info to her vet
who could contact Dr Ward. I am not certain if she
does phone consults but it is at least someone who does both
acupuncture and homeopathy.

Hi group. I need some advice from the knowledgeable folks here. I
own/moderate a chat group dedicated to the use of CS to treat primarily
EPM in horses. Many of us on the list have been using CS successfully
for up to ten years, at the rate of two to four cups per day of CS on an
ongoing basis. Some people have been able to discontinue CS altogether
-- most have not, as discontinuing it results in a recurrence of
symptoms. One of the women on the list has been told by her
*acupuncture vet* to discontinue the CS because of the "accumulation of
heavy metals over such a long period of use (10 years in this case)" and
has suggested that instead she switch to "homeopathic silver" which she
said "his body would recognize and respond to". I Googled homeopathic
silver, and all I can seem to come up with is *colloidal silver* and
*silver nitrate*. What I'm reading sounds like misinformation to me. I
know that the EIS that we make is not comprised of heavy metals -- don't
think that silver qualifies as such anyway -- and the woman who owns the
EPM horse knows that as well. But it is difficult for people to respond
when confronted by an authority figure such as a vet. What I need is a
concise response for her regarding *homeopathic silver* that she can
understand herself, and that she can pass along to her vet in response
to this claim. I'll appreciate any responses. Thanks. MA
