If silver is excreted at ,say, 94 -99 % in 48 hours and you don't give it 48 hours before re-dosing, more will accumulate, most of which will wait for that window. What eventually happens to that 1 to 6% is never discussed and may eventually build up to the minimum retained level of 4 grams that "can" produce Agyria. [Even though 12 grams retained usually doesn't produce Agyria]

Recall that all the Agyria tests were done with several CCs at thousands of PPM injected over a short period of time and normal elimination rates were totally swamped out and not considered at all...and even then, they have trouble producing the condition. They don't say why that's so, but Selenium is closely linked to all metals accumulation. Could it be that the only people who CAN turn blue are those with abnormal Selenium levels?

At low concentrations in the under 20 PPM range where the quantity of water limits the amount of silver consumed... it could take 150 years to go Smurf even if you don't give it that 48 hours and drink CS "instead" of water daily for years on end.
 At 5 PPM, that could take 600 years?

Just guessing there to make a point, but someone who can do spread sheets might could figure out the absolute worst case actual times and numbers based on retention rates as related to concentrations and a max of 4 gallons of water a day.
Most people only drink a couple of quarts of water a day..if that.
On that note, it was shown a while back that the average CS user consumes less silver than the EPA currently deems safe in drinking water. [Of course, this isn't about the "average" CS user..it's about worst case.]

Then, taking 2 days off messes it all up and some 'forms' of silver don't act like other forms.
 Some forms may actually prevent accumulation in cells.
 No official distinctions have been made in any study...none.

Here's another thought:
If you completely replace every cell in your body every 7 years [skin cells, a lot faster]...does a cell that has retained silver transfer it to it's replacement somehow?
 Cell division might transfer 50%?
..or is there an osmosis filtration and/or scavenging mechanism that protects new cells? I don't think human cells just get twice as big then divide like single celled organisms do.
"Budding" perhaps?
...could be part of what happens to that 1 to 4%.

Why is Rosemary Jacobs face patchy looking? She had dermal abrasion done. [and she didn't use "CS" as we define it.]
So, is "permanent" being defined as +/-14 years?

Heck, I dunno...food for thought.
Personally, I'm not at all worried.

I know I've taken a lot more in the past than I'd ever take now.

Hi Mike,
Your statement about senior members bluish nails beg the question.....
and in a way contradicts previous statements (not necessarily your)
that Silver does not stay in the body for great lengths of time. Such a statement implies also a consistent build up, with not enough exiting in proportion to what is being taken in.

Any thoughts?

I am not convinced that it is that at all. I took CS for years, 2 ounces of 5 ppm every day and never got any blue nail beds. Then I got bitten by a tick, got the Lyme circle around it and got terrified and drunk about half a gallon of CS for about 3 weeks. That is when I got the blue nail beds, which have not gotten any better or worse since that time. I think what happens is that the body disposes of silver by several methods, the majority of which is by the kidneys, liver and sweat. But it also disposes of it by putting it into the hair and nails, so even though the silver would have left the body eventually anyway, some does get trapped in the hair and nail growth.

I have given some thought as to why the nail beds turn blue in the moons, and do not appear to grow out. Apparently the body concentrates excess metals at the point of hair/nail growth so they can get transferred to the nail or hair, but with heavy concentrations, some will aggregate and get stuck in the tissues and never make it into the nail itself, which apparently never has that problem and does not turn blue. This is only a hypothesis, and if a better explanation comes along lets take a look at it. I am not certain if photoexposure is a part of this or not considering that toenails seem to be immune to this effect. I do know that mine occurred in the summer when I was working outside, but could just be a coincidence since that would be the only time I would get a tick.
