I was given a bottle of WaterOZ ionic silver by a friend who asked if we could do some lab testing on it. The bottle was labeled 100 ppm. Atomic absorption tests indicated it was actually 145 ppm. I called the company to ask about this discrepancy and was told that they used to make a 150 ppm silver product but decided to lower the ppm to 100 for reasons they did not explain. They admitted that when the bottles were printed with the 100 ppm value they still had a some 150 ppm product so they just filled the bottles with the 150 ppm until it was exhausted. They explained that they thought it would OK to do that since the customer was getting more than they bargained for.
It would seem that the product is actually silver nitrate. Any who is ingesting this product on a continual basis is at risk for argyria. Most of their other products that they call ionic solutions are chloride salt solutions (i.e. gold chloride, copper chloride, selenium chloride, etc). For those who may be ingesting "ionic gold" solutions, which generally means gold chloride, I have been advised by a biochemist that gold chloride is "neuro toxic" which means it could potentially cause problems with nerve cells. I do not have more specific details at this time, but it seemed appropriate to pass this info on to the subscribers of the silver-list. Forewarned is forearmed, etc. frank key ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 9:33 AM Subject: silver-digest Digest V102 #289 -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
