Does Colloidal Silver Turn You Blue?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on here has found any kind of lightening cure for Argyria. I would appreciate any help that you might know of...Thanks so much...

Hi PCL,

Yes, I could have worded that better! Part of the confusion is because the folks at EC decided to sell their Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) in an amber glass bottle as many people are not comfortable with plastic bottles due to leaching issues. Apparently, EC chose to use amber glass as an added protective step to help insure the best quality of their product over the long term. If you look at MesoSilver's AgNP product, it is in a clear plastic bottle. EC could have done the same, but I think Deirdre is trying to supply the highest possible quality that she can to EC members.

So to answer your question, yes, the product that EC is selling is the same AgNPs that I make and use, not ionic silver. I have made yellow 20ppm AgNPs, the same as EC sells and left it sitting on the shelf for years with no agglomeration, no loss of color, no sediment or clouding over a period of about 3 years, as a test of the stability of the product. It stayed yellow in color and and remained crystal clear!

When I make higher ppm concentrations over 80 ppm up to 320 ppm, it is almost impossible to tell the clarity because it gets too dark, like black coffee, but that is the norm with higher ppm concentrations. When I get to the bottom of a bottle of 320 ppm, there is never any sediment and I do not filter my 320 ppm batches. That is one sign of a very stable batch of high ppm, especially if it has been sitting for a year or more on a shelf.

When you dilute the 320 ppm back to 20 ppm, you can see the clarity of the batch and the color comes back into the yellowish range, but closer to light amber because 320 ppm requires a different capping agent to prevent agglomeration when the ppm concentration goes above 40 to 50 ppm. This capping agent causes the slightly darker amber color.

hello Art, I've enjoyed your article on Colloidal Silver, but one paragraph kind of confused me although I think I have it figured out right now. I wanted to add it in as an image in case you think it could be worded a bit differently.

But Mainly, I'm writing because I wanted to know if the picture of the Earth Clinic Colloidal Silver is the silver that you are talking about? Possibly your recipe? I am seriously considering purchasing a bottle, Denise

I met someone who was visiting from Australia. As soon as I saw him I thought 'Argyria'. I asked him. He told me that for several years he had been making a really primitive silver water using batteries. And that he used to drink a half liter or so a day. That's how he ended up with his peculiar skin tone that looked like a blue suntan. But apart from the color he was as healthy as can be. I was quite shocked to have actually met a real live argyria case!

True colloidal silver has not been shown in studies to turn anyone blue. Ionic silver can potentially cause argyria, but it would take very high dosing for a very long time of everyday use which there is no reason for.

Colloidal silver is a broad spectrum antibacterial and antiviral with modest antifungal qualities. It also has anti-inflammatory qualities, but that aspect of CS is not as well studied. Other forms of silver such as silver chloride may have more potential to cause argyria, but not a ton of research on that aspect.

I have heard from numerous people how Colliodal silver has benefited them. There are also many people denying that Colloidal silver does not turn you blue.

Daryl, I use gelatin to cap, but mostly only for higher parts per million batches like 320 ppm. I make a 250 ml beaker at a time and I add 1/4 teaspoon of gelatin before I begin my run.

Art, what capping agent should be used and at what point in the process?

I learnt about C.S from observing migrant women in their 80's, 90's and a couple a tad older who made their silver with a very simple pack of 2x 9volt batteries in a mining town in outback Australia. Often with no fridge just a generator, and doing it tough in temps and living conditions most people would balk at, they made their silver, strained it and drank a couple of tablespoons daily. Also used it for their animals and all cuts and grazes, and spider bites.

Mind you, many of these women were still working an 8-10 hr day working underground in mines. Attributed no doubt to their daily use of silver. As for Agryia, a full article (including photos of The Blue Man) are available on WebMed the medical site that many health practitioners use, and especially when you tell them that you use it.. It's like the Holy Grail of CS.

My new specialist was horrified when I told him I sprayed it on my ulcers, which ultimately improved out of sight, I might add, but he printed off the article from WebMed just to show me it causes blue skin. We know that it is utter rot because you'd have to be consuming a lot of large doses daily. And generally unfiltered. Today we are more sophisticated! We filter everything, sometimes twice depending on it's use and I have never had a bad reaction to anything I have applied it too. Only good stuff.

My second specialist is a really old guy who was delighted when I told him I was using CS as an antibacterial spray. He told me that in the days when penicillin was only new, Dr's still used CS for antibacterial use, along with Potassium permanganate for washing....( as much crystals as would fit on the edge of a matchstick) so I too use both with excellent results. One thing tho, CC stains permanently on material and can leave your fingers and your containers with brown stains that will eventually fade.

This has gone a bit off track but is all true and excellent stuff!
