Silver-blue nails. Acta Derm Venereol, 57: 5, 1977, 413-9 Abstract The case is reported of a man with uniformly silver-blue discolouration of all fingernails, with deeper colouring over the lunulae. The nail bed changes resulted from the uncontrolled ingestion of a silver-containing granular powder. The total silver intake was over 15 g. The only other sign of argyrosis was a barely perceptible greyish discolouration over the cheeks and in the sclerae. Biopsies were taken from the nail bed and the cheek. Electron microscopy revealed metallic deposits in elastic fibres and basement membranes. The silver deposition was much heavier in the nail bed than in facial skin. Long-wave ultraviolet light (UVA) and lack of melanin protection seem to be responsible for this phenomenon. Argyrosis and the differential diagnosis of nail discolourations are reviewed. Mike; Here is what the Colloidal Mineral people taught me one time about how to look at it. I sure hope I remember all the 0000's Above it says 15 grams caused a problem. 1000mg= 1 gram. 15grams=15,000mg. Just for clarity. A 100ppm dose is basically 100 milligrams per liter. The tds-1 is based on ppm per liter, isn't it? (all of this is based that there is roughly 1,000,000 ppm per liter by volume) 100ppm divided by dose.x Let's say 1 oz a day. It would take about 33 days (= one liter of solution) get 100mg or 100ppm however you look at it. 330 days = 1 gram Looks like in about 14 years you'd be at 15 grams at 1 oz a day by volume. If atomic weight converts vol. to weight, that should make it 2.4 years per gram by weight. How many teaspoons are there to the oz.? Since I used higher ppm and a larger dose, I think you are probably right Mike. Jumping back and forth between mcg. ppm. mg. got me confused. Fred Walter over on the Rife list is a master mathematician if we can't get this right. That article almost makes silver sound addictive too. "uncontrolled ingestion of a silver-containing granular powder." Wonder what that means? It's been fun! bjs1779 > [Mike Devour, Citizen, Patriot, Libertarian] > [mdev...@mail.id.net ] > [Speaking only for myself... ] > > -- > The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver. > > To join or quit silver-list or silver-digest send an e-mail message to: > silver-list-requ...@eskimo.com -or- silver-digest-requ...@eskimo.com > with the word subscribe or unsubscribe in the subject: line. > > To post, address your message to: silver-list@eskimo.com > > List maintainer: Mike Devour <mdev...@id.net> -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
