The above describes metallic silver poisoning. This illustrates the great importance of proper particle sizing in colloidal silver. Of course, the above applies to Metallic Silver in general.
In addition, metallic silver stimulates the body to eliminate other heavy metals. Acting as a chelating agent, heavy metals can be re-released into body tissues.
Silver Metal comes in the following forms: Tablets, capsules, powders ( ground silver ), as well as compounds such as Silver Nitrate and other protein/salts.
An Average DOSE of such substances can be as high as 5 mg daily. From the data on previous pages it is easy to see how silver poisoning can occur in a short period of time.
Saccharum Lactis ( Lactose Sugar ) can be mixed with Metallic Silver in order to minimize the toxic effects of such large doses.
Argenti Oxidum ( Silver Oxide ) - no dangerous side effects discovered
Argenti Nitrus ( Silver Nitrate ) - Toxic ( Argyria, even explosive if added with vegetable oils) see above symptoms.
Argenti Iodidum ( Silver Iodide ) - Reportedly does not cause Argyria in large doses.
Nitrates are extremely sensitive to organic matter and light. All silver salts are highly reactive with chlorides. Interestingly, dissolving in distilled water significantly lessens any reaction. Silver stainsmay be removed by scrubbing with Potassium Cyanide. The stains referred to are a result of the combination of silver salts with albumen, activated by light exposure.
Continued and prolonged use of silver salts produces degeneration of tissues and organs, discoloration of skin, hemorrhaging, nervous system impairment, large scale paralysis, loss of coordination, convulsions, and death by respiratory failure due to paralysis.
Potassium Iodide is recommended in conjunction with the silver salts to help prevent silver toxicity. Sodium Hyposulphite should be added to bath water to assist the body's elimination process.
The information above is based almost exclusively on Silver Nitrate. If colloidal silver responded even partially like these compounds, there would be thousands of cases of silver poisoning, with more being diagnosed daily. The facts? Not one case of silver toxicity has been found due to isolated colloidal silver.
In addition, the above data gives an excellent symptom baseline for those concerned with true silver poisoning. For those who have been using colloidal silver for years, a simple mental inventory of one's physical condition would provide the necessary information to set one's mind at ease.

I have had a bad sore throat. 3 days ago, I went to health store, saw colloidal silver throat spray 125ppm. The clerk said it was safe, I purchased & had sprayed it 20-30 times in 24 hrs before I researched and found that was 7-10 times too much! The next day I had a medical test, during which they gave me an IV. Thinking over this, I'm wondering if it was saline, and if this will affect the excess silver in my system. Today I feel strange, no appetite, light headed. Don't know if it is just a result of the anesthesia they gave me to do the scope. Wondering what I should do!

Subject: Colloidal Silver Poisoning
I am a 48 y/o male and I have been making colloidal silver for the better part of 8 yrs. and consuming it mostly every day. My skin has turned a blue tint. I finally diagnosed myself with silver heavy metal poisoning Feb '09. I have discontinued use of silver since. My body is now symptomatic effecting almost every organ. Asthma, Hyperglycemia, emotional instability, loss of coordination, sleep disorders, loss of energy, etc, etc. All my testing has come out negative and drs. do not know what to do for me except to treat the symptoms. Do you know an expert in the field whom could help me detoxify as i cannot find anyone with experience.
I currently am taking a vitamin supplement i found on the internet which does seem to help me, but this therapy takes many, many months and i don't know what the full outcome may be.

Hello David
The answer to your problem lies in getting hold of Tissue Salts also called Cell Salts. Particularly Tissue Salt #12 (Silica) and Tissue Salt #11. They are both proven to remove the heaviest metals from human tissue and can remove tar from smokers lungs and asbestos from out of miners' systems. You can get them online or at any pharmacy. Take 2tablets of each 3x a day until you come right. Do a little research on them online if you want- they are sourced from plant sources mostly, but not one of them is ever going to poison you. Good luck!!!

Dear Sir/Madam,
Can i get any paper dobleepedentation which shows the " silver nitrates LD10 and LD 50 values with the experimental data on rats" .

Well companies are manufacturing clothes by putting nano size silver molecules into the clothing. These are so small that they could absorb through our skin into our body more easily. Victoria secret uses this technology and I have been experiencing all kind of problems. Especially with an itching sensation that won't go away. It has been there for a year. How do you detox if there is too much in your body?

Subject: 17-18 Hundreds silver-plate usage over entire life...
My family has used silver plated forks and spoons since I can remember, and not just one set, but a modge-podge which rotates as we use them (4 person family, 100 forks and the same for spoons). Now, at 26 years later, most have been striped in the prong or scoop area down to the underlying base metal. All of the silver-plate is from 17-very early 19 hundreds, and I am unsure of the plating practices in those times. I was wondering if there was any danger in the fact that we have been ingesting small amounts of silver 3+ times daily, and if any other metals may be dangerous. My brother developed some mental cognitive breakdown around 23, and I have had issues with memory, and other physical health concerns for years.
Thanks

Subject: No Radiation in MRI
No one should be afraid of any physical affects of an MRI. Some people have psychological issues with the enclosed space, but it uses non-ionization radio waves to perfrom the analysis. You get more dangerous radiation from walking outside in the sun, in the form of UV and X-rays than you get from an MRI. MRI has a magnet and a radio antennae, there is no evidence that an MRI has any adverse effects.
CT, Xrays, and PET scans use xrays, xrays, and an acclerator to get positrons. Scientists have figured out the safe levels of these types of radiation to receive. There's no reason to hide from reason people. Go to real doctors, get real medicine, and don't poison yourself. Humans weren't meant to eat heavy metals, like Silver, Gold, Lead, Cadmium, Mercury.

The MRI itself is safe. The Gadolinium added as a contrast agent is lethal to those with even slight imparment of the kidneys. be careful of the statement the all MRI's are safe.
My mum has used colloidal Silver for about 6 weeks.Has been taking slightly more than the normal.She used a Bob Beck Blood zapper a week ago and increased her intake of colloidal Silver to overcome her cold.
Is now admitted in hospital,and is told that she has distroyed her bone-marrow.They blame the coloidal Silver.
She makes her own colloidal Silver, but instaed of using distilled water, she uses filtered water.
Is there any chance that the colloidal silver could distroy bonemarrow in high doses.
Not sure as to what to tell you but I have been useing colloidial Silver for 4 years now and have no adverse affects on mu body.The one most important thing that I did do before its use was RESEARCH,RESEARCH,RESEARCH. with that being said from all the links that I have research from they all state using only DISTILLED WATER and only distilled there cannot be anything else in the water aside from the silver .Thus no cholrine and other chemicals that they use for the public.Distilled means just that .If you try maybe you can use distilled water now.One has to remember that is use has been used since the early 1930s.

Subject: seizures and CS
I have a grand daughter wbleepedhas had a few seizures. The doctor blames the colloidal siver. Her readings are 10X higher than they should be. Is there another source of toxicity besides colloidal silver? She has not had any seizures in the last half of the year but the doctors insist on a MRI which the parents don't want because of the radiation that she would get.

Greetings,
In this case, the doctor is probably wrong. First, what was measured to determine the levels of silver in the body? Second, what product was used, and how much, and for how long? ( the colloidal silver ).
Third, the MD is probably not aware, that in cases of silver toxicity and related seizures, it takes decades of using a highly concentrated form of silver internally to induce such seizures.
Fourth, ten times the amount of silver than normal is a very low number.
As an example, both mercury and copper toxicity can cause seizures... However, even when mercury is "measured" at 1200 times the acceptable levels, it is usually still FAR below the seizure causing threshold... Although it should be noted that every individual likely has a different tolerance level.
Your granddaughter should see a toxicity specialist; someone wbleepedis actually qualified to form an educated opinion.

There is no radiation from MRIs. They use a magnetic field to aquire the images. People get the tests mixed up beacause it is part of Radiology and they somehow assume that everything in radiology produces radiation.
