The ppms are so high on 2 of them, I seriously doubt that they were colloidal silver. True properly made CS should never be more than about 20 ppm. I suspect they were either silver compounds or MSP, which we already know can give argyria. I have been taking about 1/4 cup of 5 ppm CS daily for about 4 years now with no problem. They don't report the ppm for hers, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were "high" ppm stuff as well. If I can make it by the research library, I will try and find those articles in their entirety.
