Silver toxicity is not a problem with modern ionic colloidal silver.
I took half a pint per day of tap water grade colloidal silver and did
not get Agaria.

T o my knowledge there are no resistant organism to Colloidal Silver.
We are currnetly carrying out tests with E coli, Staph albus and Sacc
cer.   We will post the results and pictures of the cultures on our web
site.

The problem as most most anti microbial is getting it to the site of
infection!!

Colloidal silver is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver
particles in a colloidal base. Long-term use of silver preparations can
lead to argyria, a condition in which silver salts deposit in the skin,
eyes, and internal organs, and the skin turns ashen-gray. Many cases of
argyria occurred during the pre-antibiotic era when silver was a common
ingredient in nosedrops. When the cause became apparent, doctors stopped
recommending their use, and reputable manufacturers stopped producing them.
The official drug guidebooks (United States Pharmacopeia and National
Formulary) have not listed colloidal silver products since 1975.

In recent years, silver-containing products have been marketed with
unsubstantiated claims that they are effective against AIDS, cancer,
infectious diseases, parasites, chronic fatigue, acne, warts, hemorrhoids,
enlarged prostate, and many other diseases and conditions. Some marketers
claim that colloidal silver is effective against hundreds of diseases.

# There is little evidence to support therapeutic claims made for colloidal
silver products;
# The risk to consumers of silver toxicity outweighs the value of trying an
unsubstantiated treatment, and bacterial resistance to silver can occur
# Efforts should be made to curb the illegal availability of colloidal
silver products, which is a significant public health issue [16] .
