Whether or not it is argyria I believe depends on the definition of argyria. If you define it as silver particles getting caught under the skin due to photo activation and development of silver salts, then no it is not. If you define it as silver particles getting caught where they can be seen and generated by any mechanism, then it would be.

The mechanism for graying of the fingernail moons is not photographic in nature. It is well known that the body puts metals in the nails and hair, thus the reason why tests are done on the hair to determine metal loads. Prior to being incorported into the nail or hair, the body must accumulate said metals at the "root", that is stage them, or export via the nail or hair, just like materials are placed on a dock before placing on a ship about to leave. This staging of the silver results in a high concentration of silver at the roots, which, if there is sufficient silver load, will lead to aggregation, and the particles getting stuck there.

Thanks for all that Marshall.

With this information, further reading, and connecting the dots, I do believe I finally understand clearer that this is in no way connected to Argyria, and also understand that it's purely an over consumption, although I'm not entirely sure about the HVAC stuff - yet? Everyone else has probly understood this all the time, but that's OK, I need to find things out in my own way, by my own methods, in my own time, and then make some conclusions of my own.

#1. I believe I've understood this for quite some time. And I spent over 6 years exposing myself to all sorts of weather conditions {of course we don't get snow in this saltbush ridden desert} and to all and sundry who had a wog in the hope I would catch it, but all to no avail. I did however catch a wog on two occasions last year {without even trying?} but stopped it in its tracks in 24-48 hours by upping my daily intake for that day or two.

#3. And I go along with that. Since beginning my daily regimen of this stuff I find my visits to the oblution block to rid myself of water has increased considerably, and I believe it's increased my fertilizer production as well. I believe this is keeping my kidneys, liver and plumbing in general in top condition. I also believe it will keep the prostate, intestines and colon in good order, and I'm leaning towards believing it assists in the circulation and keeping the blood at the right consistancy {an praps keeping the blood pathways clear?}.

#4. I'm afraid I'm no spiritualist or anything as I believe in nothing, outside of believing in myself and what I think and do. I'm a fatalist...what will be will be, I had no control over being brought into this world, as I have no control over when I will leave it, I can praps have some control over *how* I leave it, and *that's* what I'm working on. Having said that, if the establishment and Corporations get their way it's going to be an ever increasing struggle. With human waste bacteria being found in produce causing health issues, who knows where the hell we're heading if Corporations keep getting their own way? Oops, slight digression there.

OK, the inquisition is done <g>.

Thanks again, much obliged.
