If this is such a serious problem TODAY, why is there no reference to cases of argyria today SPECIFIC TO Electro-colloidal silver? (There are NONE in the Fung article - Fung MC, Bowen DL: Silver Products for Medicinal Indications: Risk - Benefit Assessment Clinical Toxicology, 34(l), 119-126(1996) despite how the abstracts would lead you to believe of it's dangers. This is the article I've read in full that helped me decide to "take the risk." The other "modern day" article is dated 1975. (Goodman LS, Gihnan A: The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th edition. New York: MacMillan, 1975:930-931, 999-1000.) Now think about it... what kind of silver product would have been used widely from 1940-1975? My guess is prescription silver salts, not colloidal silver! But from the title, it sounds like this article would focus on the uses for silver. It'd probably be a good one for showing people there's scientific evidence that silver is of therapeutic value! I'd like to track down a copy of that article. Nancy -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
