If indeed argyria is caused by the ingestion of large-particle silver, then it stands that large particles will, in fact, absorb through the stomach and/or intestinal wall. Therefore, any assumption that high-ppm CS won't be absorbed is fallacious. There has to be more to the story than ppm.

AT 5 ppm you have virtually 100% bsorption into the blood stream, and once you get above 7 to 8 ppm normally you start getting larger particles, instead of more particles.

Also as the particles get larger the become too large to be absorbed through the stomach wall. Therefore for the maximum value 5 ot 20 ppm is likley the best range, with 5ppm being the most stable. > > 20 ppm is probably best for external use since absorption through the stomach > wall is irrelevent. > > Marshall > > > -- > The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver. > > To join or quit silver-list or silver-digest send an e-mail message to: > silver-list-requ...@eskimo.com -or- silver-digest-requ...@eskimo.com > with the word subscribe or unsubscribe in the SUBJECT line. > > To post, address your message to: silver-list@eskimo.com > Silver-list archive: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.html > List maintainer: Mike Devour <mdev...@eskimo.com> >** --------- End Original Message ----------- ** > Download NeoPlanet at http://www.neoplanet.com
