Now this is what I want to hear, some good old fashioned home grown scientific reasoning and evaluation. Creases in the skin, knuckles, rings in the eyes, and fingernail bed colouration are supposedly indicators of excess silver. I wish more people would take a longer and harder look at whatever else they may be ingesting, applying, popping, snorting, bathing in, rubbing on etc etc by way of supplements, lotions, potions, creams, linaments, tinctures, home made health concoctions etc etc before pointing the finger at silver ALONE. I've been ingesting about 30ml of anywhere between 9-17ppm home grown solution every morning for around six years now, and that amount goes up to 300-500ml a day for a day or three if/when I feel something health related cropping up, and I haven't noticed anything untoward when I look in a mirror, BUT...I am not into taking any of the aforesaid extras, and in any of the aforementioned methods. This crops up in conversation from time to time here but I am of the firm belief it's not the EIS that's the culprit - it's the end result, or by product - it's more like EIS combining with the ingredients of something else, and it's *those* ingredients that may be the instigator, not forgetting of course those who don't know how to make this stuff and go off on an irresponsible tangent. I've noticed over time that there are many people who are into a whole range of other stuff - besides silver - and yet the finger is always pointed at silver, when I believe they should be considering a possible cause, interaction, reaction, or side issue due to other things they are doing - in combination with silver. What about toenails? Surely some out there must wear thongs on their feet, or go barefoot in the summertime? Nobody mentions toenails, and I suspect they would be more 'delicate?' or susseptable to UV as they seldom see sunlight any other time of the year, so when they do, I'd expect any colouration to show up pretty quick? Check em. I'd better check mine as well <g>. What can I say? I ingest this stuff as most everyone else on the planet does, and I'm not technicoloured, so I'll defend good old silver until I do. N.
