Garnet said: "Argyria is real and it is a real risk to those making their own CS. It is not that hard to produce a Silver Chloride or Nitrate. Look at the Senator from Montana, he did it in a matter of years, by not being smart about what he was doing."
I have to emphatically disagree. I would not call one case of argyria in the last 100 years a "real risk". Stan Jones used tap water (most likely polluted city water), brewed his batches for one hour until they looked like coffee, and drank 8 ounces per day for two years. I am not saying there has only been one case of argyria in the last 100 years, I am saying there has been only one case of argyria from CS *made with silver and distilled water.* Every other case of argyria (of which there have not been many) in the last century have been the result of large doses of silver compounds, or even silver dust (such as a silver-smith might be in frequent and regular contact with). Using distilled or deionised water and pure silver and electricity of any voltage less than 120 volts will not 'accidently' make CS that is dangerous. If you cook it to a coffee-color, maybe there is a concern. Anyone on this list drinking coffee-colored CS? I didn't think so. I drink 16-24 oz/day of crystal-clear CS, have done so for over four years. I put CS in everything in our diet I can put it in. Pancake batter in my house is 2 cups of CS with the dry ingredients. Soup is 1 or 2 quarts of CS to cook the vegetables in. Fruit juice (the frozen kind) is made only with CS. Our drinking water (distilled water) is 30% CS. Anytime a liquid is needed in our diet, for drinking or cooking, it's CS. My children are being raised on CS. CS goes in eyes, ears, noses, throats and on anything on the outside of the body it can go on. It treats burns, rashes, stings, cuts and scrapes. It is one of the first things we turn to for health or medical issues. My children are pink and flesh-colored (except where they are tanned). I have no blue gills (or fingernails). My oldest daughter drinks copious amounts of CS (has for the last 4+ years). Her 6-month old son gets CS each day, as well as what he got within his mom. He is pink and healthy and energetic. But no one in my family gets sick. Never. Zip. My kids friends all share their dieases with each other, passing around whatever they have. "Haven't you heard? There's a bug going around", does not apply to my family. What did Stan Jones do to get blue? He drank CS-coffee. OK, don't brew CS-coffee (actually, I make my coffee each morning with CS only - I'm talking about coffee-colored CS). I not only don't need to be careful to avoid what Stan Jones did, I would have to try to accomplish it. Colloidal Silver is not something you need to fear, or even be careful about. Think about it: Apart from Stan Jones (who obviously didn't have a clue what he was doing), THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE CASE OF ARGYRIA FROM COLLOIDAL SILVER IN THE LAST CENTURY that was made as we are making it. There have been more reports of overdoses and toxic reactions to virtually every other nutrient our bodies need than to CS. When I was a kid, my friends and I used to deliberately hyperventilate and then hold our breaths in order to make ourselves faint. Then I saw one of my friends go into some kind of seizure doing that, and I stopped. So it's possible to hurt myself with wierd breathing, but I am not careful about breathing, I just do it. So also I use pure silver and pure water and I brew it a bit and I drink it without restraint. Nothing too careful about that. I don't know of a single other nutrient that is safer than CS. My rambling two cents.
