Unfortunately I can't say anything to disprove it and I won't say it's impossible either though I doubt it. Nutrients are often antagonistic to each other. When some ratios are thrown far out of kilter, deficiencies can be antagonized. Calcium and magnesium are antagonistic towards each other, copper and zinc have a similar relationship, etc. This is a real can of worms with silver because even many diehard proponents hesitate to consider it for ''essential'' nutrient status, let alone something that needs to have a certain ratio to other nutrients. Although I don't know of any definite antagonistic factors for silver/or even one instance where I've seen that it needs a ratio to any other nutrient, it's quite possible. All things considered though, I think it's more likely this person is just making a bad assumption. Silver may have a relationship with selenium we aren't clear on. It could also be a case like that with selenium and mercury. There is no ratio problem there [that we know of], only that selenium is known to bind to mercury forming an insoluble compound that will be excreted instead of absorbed. Considering how essential selenium is and how much colloidal silver so many silver takers have regularly used for many years, it seems that somebody would have noticed a major problem on here before. I think this person likely drew a poor conclusion but then again, we're talking about a horse? Did I read that right? Maybe the person is right but there is some major difference in the horse when it comes to silver tolerance or God only knows what kind of stray variable. Medications, enzymatic processes, who knows?
