People are worried much about getting grayed, i.e. argyria, when using silver colloid to eliminate viruses, and all other forms of parasites.
It is true that silver ions can accumulate in the body but only for a week. The only reason why in rare cases some people have suffered cosmetic side effects is that they are taking in silver way beyond the established safe levels.
SILVER SAFETY PYRAMID™
Based on the Silver Safety Guideline and utilizing the Silver Safety Calculation, the Silver Safety Pyramid provides a simple way to calculate safe usage of any silver supplement from three perspectives: ongoing daily use, short-term use, and over your entire lifetime.
The calculations for those three perspectives are shown below.
______________________________
1. DAILY USE
Using it daily your whole life
The maximum number of drops of a silver supplement to consume per day when using it on an ongoing daily basis every day of your whole life (up to 70 years or 25,567 days of ongoing daily use)
The combined total of your “daily use” amounts (#1) and your “short-term
use” amounts (#2) should not exceed the total shown for your “entire lifetime” (#3).
______________________________
2. SHORT-TERM USE
Using it on a short-term basis
The maximum number of drops of a silver supplement to consume per
day when using it on a short-term basis for short-term goals as desired
Most people use silver supplements not on a daily basis but rather only when they feel the need.
As a general guideline, try to limit your usage at this “short-term use” level to about 10 days per month.
The combined total of your “daily use” amounts (#1) and your “short-term
use” amounts (#2) should not exceed the total shown for your “entire lifetime” (#3).
______________________________
3. ENTIRE LIFETIME
Maximum total to use during your entire lifetime
The maximum total number of drops of a silver supplement to consume over your entire lifetime
You should not consume large quantities of silver in a short period of time. The EPA RfD refers
to ongoing daily use for 70 years (#1). The body needs time to assimilate and eliminate what it
needs to, which is the reason to also follow the general guideline for short-term use (#2). This
figure in #3 represents the “daily use” limit (#1) used every day for 70 years. While it’s impractical
to precisely monitor your entire lifetime usage, this figure provides a useful guideline for
responsible usage limits. (It also shows how generally safe silver supplements are, since very
few people will ever approach this level with responsible use throughout their entire lifetime.)
