Hobart) Reply-to: silver-list@eskimo.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com This might help, from; http://risk.lsd.ornl.gov/tox/profiles/silver_f_V1.shtml Exposure of rats to 222 mg silver/kg/day in drinking water for 37 weeks resulted in growth depression and shortened lifespan. Also observed were granular silver deposits in the eyes (Matuk et al., 1981).
Let's see, the average CS taker may weigh 70 kg and take 60 ml of a 5 PPM home brew. That's 4 micrograms/kg/day compared to 222 mg/kg/day. So those poor little rats received about 52,000 times what a typical CS taker is getting. Perhaps those investigators should try spring water using the same excess proportions. I'm sure they would find SPRING WATER to be highly toxic as well. Roger Olcott (1948, 1950) reported enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart in rats receiving drinking water containing 635-660 mg silver/day as either silver nitrate or silver chloride for life. Histologic examination showed slight thickening of the basement membranes of kidney glomeruli in the absence of severe renal lesions. Deposition of silver granules was observed in the skin, eyes, and several internal organs. >> Similar proportions. Similar results.
