RE: CS>How many ppm in CS From: Mike Monett Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 17:31:17 http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m76978.html
I received several emails regarding my post on cold sores and sublingual absorption. I said: "To put it in perspective, I take 1 oz of 20 uS cs sublingually for 10 minutes, and spit the remaining solution in the sink." "I once calculated the maximum amount of silver ions that could enter my bloodstream at 70 parts per billion, assuming 100% absorption." My memory was a bit faulty - the actual amount is 0.118 ppm, or 118 parts per billion, assuming 100% absorption. 118 ppb may seem small, but it is actually 3.3017E+18 ions, or 3.3 billion billion silver ions ready to kill bacteria and viruses. Even if only ten percent are absorbed and reach the bloodstream, it still means 3 hundred million billion little silver bullets. This is a very small amount of silver, and cannot possible give anyone Argyria as Frank claims on his web site. There are no reports of anyone getting Argyria from ionic cs, but there are several reports of Argyria from MSP products. It is interesting to compare the results when swallowing the cs. I used to take 8 oz of 10 ppm each day. If this were completely absorbed into the bloodstream, it would give a concentration of 0.473 ppm, or 473 parts per billion. This is almost five times as much as obtained by sublingual absorption, yet the sublingual method gave far better results on cold sores and the Shingles virus. Also, with sublingual absorption, only 1 oz was needed every three or four days, instead of having to make and swallow 8 oz each day. The conclusions seem to be: 1. Swallowing cs is a very inefficient way of getting ions into the bloodstream. 2. Sublingual absorption is more effective than swallowing. 3. High ionic cs works much better than low ppm solutions. 4. The sublingual method also eliminates the problem of killing friendly bacteria in the intestines.

More information is available at http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m76974.html To do the blood calculations, we only need to add two lines to the Collodial Silver parameters. Here's the values for sublingual absorption: Bloodppm = Milligrams / BloodVolume BloodVolume = 5 ; blood volume in litres Ounces = 1 ; amount absorbed ppm = 20 ; cs ppm Here's the results: Bloodppm = 0.1182 NumberIons = 3.3017E+18 To calculate the amount absorbed when swallowing, make the following changes: Bloodppm = Milligrams / BloodVolume BloodVolume = 5 ; blood volume in litres Ounces = 8 ; amount absorbed ppm = 10 ; cs ppm Here's the results: Bloodppm = 0.4731 NumberIons = 1.3206E+19 -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
