This document explores silver metal toxicity and silver
poisoning. Much of the included information was acquired from "old
style" Materia
Medicas. None of the information included in this document is directly
or even closely related to isolated colloidal silver as we know it
today. We include this information only for reference.

Why Isolated Silver? |
 We
originally coined the term "electrically isolated silver" to
help distinquish between different types of silver products on the
market. Read our article on EIS
- electrically isolated 'colloidal' silver and discover
why we feel classifying isolated silver provides a very important distinction.
Electrically Isolated Silver, in formulations
that include a highly ionic isolated silver content or a highly particulate
content
( picoscalar ), has not only proven to be more effective by direct
in-vitro
analysis
compared to any stabilized silver compound, but EIS formulations are
known to maintain the unique electromagnetic "silver signature" associated
with the pure element silver.

The above describes metallic silver
poisoning. This illustrates the great importance of proper particle
sizing in colloidal silver. Of course, the above applies to Metallic
Silver in general.
In addition, metallic silver stimulates
the body to eliminate other heavy metals. Acting as a chelating agent,
heavy metals can be re-released into body tissues.
Silver Metal comes in the following
forms: Tablets, capsules, powders ( ground silver ), as well as compounds
such as Silver Nitrate and other protein/salts.
An Average DOSE of such substances
can be as high as 5 mg daily. From the data on previous pages it
is easy to see how silver poisoning can occur in a short period of
time.
Saccharum Lactis ( Lactose
Sugar ) can be mixed with Metallic Silver in order to minimize the
toxic effects of such large doses.
-
Argenti Oxidum ( Silver Oxide ) - no dangerous
side effects discovered
-
Argenti Nitrus ( Silver Nitrate
) - Toxic ( Argyria, even explosive if added with vegetable oils)
see above symptoms.
-
Argenti Iodidum ( Silver Iodide ) - Reportedly
does not cause Argyria in large doses.
-
Nitrates are extremely sensitive to organic matter
and light. All silver salts are highly reactive with chlorides.
Interestingly, dissolving in distilled water significantly lessens
any reaction. Silver stains may be removed
by scrubbing with Potassium Cyanide. The stains referred to are
a result of the combination of silver salts with albumen, activated
by light exposure.
-
Continued and prolonged use of silver salts produces
degeneration of tissues and organs, discoloration of skin,
hemorrhaging, nervous system impairment, large scale paralysis,
loss of coordination,
convulsions, and death by respiratory failure due to paralysis.
- Potassium
Iodide is recommended in conjunction with the silver salts
to help prevent silver toxicity. Sodium Hyposulphite
should be added to bath water to assist the body's elimination
process.
The information above is based almost exclusively
on Silver Nitrate. If colloidal silver responded even partially
like these compounds, there would be thousands of cases of silver
poisoning, with more being diagnosed daily. The facts? Not one
case of silver toxicity has been found due to isolated colloidal
silver.
In addition, the above data gives an excellent symptom
baseline for those concerned with true silver poisoning.
For those who have been using colloidal silver for years, a simple mental
inventory
of one's physical condition would provide the necessary
information to set one's mind at ease. All
