The authors report a case of a 71-year-old man who developed myoclonic
status epilepticus and coma after daily ingestion of colloidal silver for 4
months resulting in high levels of silver in plasma, erythrocytes, and CSF.
Despite plasmapheresis, he remained in a persistent vegetative state until
his death 5.5 months later. Silver products can cause irreversible
neurologic toxicity associated with poor outcome.

There is also a report in this months' NEJofMedicine involving a 16 yr old
boy taking a colloidal silver supplement who developed generalized argyria
(permanent grey skin discoloration).

European *quacks* may be pushing colloidal silver.
But no modern mainstream physicians anywhere in the developed world are
pushing silver, because it's been known for 100 years to be toxic.
That's why mainstream medicine stopped using it long ago.
NO ONE should use colloidal silver for ANY purpose. NO ONE.
