The "silver preparations" quoted everywhere you look do *not* refer to what is made in the home using distilled water and silver *alone* with LVDC electrolysis. All those so called preparations involve high ppm solutions {which will contain additives} or Nitrates etc etc and are nothing to do with what we make in the home. The "pre-antibiotic" days that article refers to would be silver nitrate, and that would have been with the use of powdered silver combined with an additive to keep those 'lumps' of silver suspended in solution, not the electrolytic process we use today. The "doctors" stopped recommending it because it was discovered that silver nitrate is not good, we don't make silver nitrate.
I've been ingesting an ounce every morning for around 10 years, as many others have done also with nil deleterious effects, and I have ingested 16 ounces or so per day for several days on occasion when I think it is warranted. Excessive consumption has been suggested as causing some issues, but this stuff doesn't need to be consumed in excessive amounts, and those "issues" may have been a result of HVAC production, not the LVDC production method? I think one would be fairly irresponsible to ingest gallons of the stuff anyway, it's simply not necessary to consume excessive volumes. As with anything, more is not necessarily better. The FDA and our TGA have nothing on record concerning the LVDC predominantly ionic silver solution anyway. I wrote to our TGA several years ago seeking any information they may have with regard to the LVDC produced product, and none was forthcoming, and what they did provide they admitted came from the Internet, so that's how much they know about the home produced LVDC product - zilch, and I'm happy to keep it that way <g>.
