Sorry about the delay, folks - book by Bill Briggs was out of stock. A real disappointment, in the sense that it contains little that is new or important. The remarks therein to renal damage (not failure) is part of an unreferenced quote from Man C Fung, MD, and Michael Weintraub, MD
"....While silver deposits derive from dietrary (e.g., mushrooms, milk, and bran), environmental or industrial exposure, the indiscriminate use of CSP's and other silver medicinals adds unnecessary exposure and may result in argyria. Although primarily a cosmetic concern, argyria is irreversible and has no effective treatment. In addition, neurological deficits and diffuse silver deposition in visceral organs have been reported with long-term use of oral silver products. Renal damage and metal fume fever have been reported with high silver exposures............." There is no listing of the JAMA article title, or anything else - not even the year. All together, it seems there is little to fear from overdosing on CS. Kevin Nolan
