Wow! A full gallon! And I thought I was possibly over doing it with drinking 1/2 cup per day . . . .

So, presumably, the amounts of COLLOIDAL silver necessary to produce argyria would either be MUCH higher, or even non-existant. I know Dr Beck claims: 1) The mounts recommended by most MANUFACTURERS (measured in teaspoons or tablespoons) are far less than necessary for most conditions, and 2) He has been drinking a FULL GALLON a day (of 5-10 ppm) for YEARS, with no ill effects. -- Charles Marcus -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
