Absorption is estimated to be only 10% (only one isolated info source says 18%). Finally an effective dosage (leading to the desired ppm s in tissue) must take in account the distribution of the drunken silver-containing liquid in a possible body-volume of 50 liters. If concentration of drunken liquid was 10 ppm/l and somebody drinks 0.1 l (100 ml) he will disolve 1 ppm in ~50 liters leading to 0.02 ppm = 20 ppb in target tissue if distribution would be equal.

You are correct, it was not CS. It could have been mild silver protein, or a silver compound, both of which are well known to cause argyria. Anything over 25 ppm of CS is very difficult to make and increasingly unstable. I am in email contact with Dr. Wadhera and the publisher. I usually do not post private emails, but i think i can post here for a better understanding of that case a part of his email to me. I was wondering myself also about this large quantity of silver and i asked him for more details. In Germany we have a bit problems to understand if someone in the new world means ounces or fluid-ounces, which is not the same. Dr Wadhera wrote to me: ... Regarding your specific question about the consumption of silver by our patient - He reported to us that he was consuming 16 ounces of liquid (prepared as described in the paper) containing approx 450 ppm (mg/L) of colloidal silver 3 times a day for 10 months. This is so called researcher took the what the patient said he was taking, that is obviously wrong, and makes the same claim without any verification whatsoever. Can we see the paper he says it was prepared by? That will likely tell us what it was if he truely followed those instructions, I am sure it was NOT CS if over 50 or 60 ppm absolute max. Marshall I am not sure if he ever actually measured the concentration of silver in the liquid he was drinking. As you have mentioned in your email and included in the discussion section of the paper, using a conc of 450 mg/L in 16 oz, 3 times/day gives you a daily dose of apprx 650 mg of silver (450 mg/1000 ml * 450 ml * 3). So over a period of 10 months, assuming he drank it every day, he consumed approx 200 gm of silver To Richard: ...Please read my Site and Blogspot in which I offer 3 FREE pages of CS Uses + 1 page of my Favorites to which Irefer often. Please let me know if I can be of help... I will take a look ! *** In my calculation i made an error: If someone would use 100 ml (0.1 l) of a 10 ppm silver colloid, he or she would have an intake of 1 ppm = ~ 1 mg silver, after resoprtion (10%) 0.1 ppm = 100 ppb would enter the body and will be diluited into around 50 liters giving us a tissue-concentration of around 2 ppb.

Re: CSsilver toxicity
And don't overlook the DW costs. Two hundred grams of silver dispersed as EIS to a typical 10ppm concentration would require 20,000 liters of DW, or 2000 liters of DW per month throughout the ten months.

It would seem to me that the actual amount of silver does not matter. Most important would be the process of producing EIS or CS. The method and materials should be suspect and examined.

Re: CSSilver Toxicity
It depends. Penicillin was certainly made that way. Sulfa drugs never were. Many of the newer drugs are similar to those made by fermentation, but have been modified so that they can only be made by chemical means. I believe that Cipro falls into this catagory, having flourine attached to the molecule. I suspect if flourine were supplied to a fermentation tank it would kill the culture.
