Hello Elle, You do not need to reach 3 PPM in your body for Ag Sol to be effective.
For a 150 Lb average person, the toxic dose of Ag Sol, of good quality and not contaminated with impurities, for 10 PPM (Mg/L) is approximately one standard size bath tub full per 24 hours. Or, about 3.8 Milligrams per day total silver. Consuming 98.1 Milligrams of silver per day will be very toxic. Most silver is absorbed high in the digestive tract. I have heard some people try to carry it further in with clay or with Psyllium (Spelling?). Silver is a potent germicide. Some bacteria release toxins when they die and the cell wall opens. If you take enough silver to kill lots of that type of bacteria all at once, you can become very ill or die. Symptoms are frequently headache and fever, possibly chills. That effect is called the Jarish-Herxheimer (sp?) reaction, named after the Docs who first noted it. For that reason, it is considered by many to be good practice to initially take small amounts of silver, say 2 or three tablespoons full for a day or so and observe the effect. If there is no sudden worsening of condition, it is difficult to drink enough 10 PPM Ag Sol to get a toxic dose. JOH -----Original Message----- From: silversurfer1952 .

Dear list-members, The following is just for arguments sake as I have no idea how silver actually behaves once in the body... If I weigh 120lbs, let's say 60% water, that means I have about 32.7 litres of water in my body. To reach a 3 ppm I would need to consume 98.1 mg of silver? Is that correct? What do y'all think of that dosage? Should one take it all at once, or not? Let's say it was to treat an intestinal staph aureaus infection (which is what I believe I have) How long would it be safe to take that amount of colloidal silver? (Not very long I would think). thanks, Elle >From: Robert Berger <bober...@swbell.net> > >They started with there 20 ppm SILVER WATER and made dilutions of 1 >ppm, 3 >pp, 10 >ppm, and 20 ppm. >They reported on the 3, 10, & 20 ppm and the 3 ppm was the most effective >on four >different pathogens, E.Coli, Aeruginosa, Stasph.Aureus, and C.Albicans.
