I am a bit confused by terminology in this thread. Aren't silver nitrate
or silver citrate and silver chloride properly called silver compounds
rather than silver ions? Somehow (no chemist, me) I had the idea that a
silver ion was one silver atom with an electon missing and could not be
anything else but a silver ion, with no other atoms or ions attached to
it? Someone please help me out here. I'm trying to follow this thread as
it is very interesting, but obviously my definitions of ions and
compounds must not be right.
TIA,

The statements are fact as far as I can tell. Ionic silver such as silver
nitrate or silver citrate in concentrations over 100 ppm can certainly cause
argyria, preperations at 20 ppm of silver hydroxide and less in the form of EIS
appear to not. But is it because of the lower concentration, or because EIS
contains particles for the ionic silver to plate out on? I think it is the
latter choice primarily because I believe that only an ounce or so of 100+ ppm
of silver citrate a day can cause argyria, yet a quart or more of 10 to 20 ppm
EIS will not. The amount of ionic silver in the quart of EIS is actually
several times as much as the silver in the ounce of 100 ppm silver citrate, yet
does not cause argyria. I would be willing to bet that if you were to mix
WaterOz with Meso Silver, even if the amount of Meso Silver is only 5% of the
amount in the WaterOz, it would not cause argyria either.
