Although there is no documented toxicity caused by silver ingestion that results in any life or health threatening issues, a cosmetic condition known as Argyria can result from excessive long-term consumption of chemically produced silver. This occurs when large silver particles collect in the fatty tissue under the skin. Silver nitrate crudely dissolved in water, is almost always the culprit in causing Argyria. Ionic silver products produced in saline water may also result in Argyria with heavy long-term consumption.

The FDA erroneously defines “colloidal silver” as “a suspension of silver particles in a “gelatinous base”. This generally defines products made with silver nitrate mixed with water and animal protein or vegetable gelatin. The protein or gelatin is necessary because the particles are so large they would otherwise fall out. True colloidal products, whether colloidal silver, colloidal gold, or colloidal copper contain no gelatin, no animal protein, no chlorides, and no iodides. These are not truly "colloids". Therefore, the FDA is warning against something they have (intentionally?) mislabeled. (See the definition of "Colloid" above.)
Producers on both sides often make the claims that “only ionic silver works” or that “only particle/colloidal silver works”. Both are simply misinformed statements. Silver in any form will kill one-celled organisms on contact. A chunk of silver or a silver coin held in the mouth or placed on a wound gives beneficial healing results. I know those who have placed a coiled piece of silver wire on a wound and had results equivalent to putting colloidal silver on it. I have read historically of placing a silver coin on a wound with the same results.
Ionic Silver Production:Ionic producers often claim that “silver must be clear to be a true colloidal silver” or that ionic silver is "colloidal silver". But actually, the opposite is true. If it has no color, it is ionic sliver and hence, it is not a colloid, since a colloid as defined above. Although this may sometimes be an intentional deception, it is usually the ignorance of those who produce ionic silver and do not know how to effectively and efficiently produce particle/colloidal silver. Again, ions do not reflect light, but particles do. For the color spectrum to be visible, there must be light reflected off particles. If you were in space looking at the Earth and were somehow able to deactivate the light reflection from the Earth, it would not be visible to the naked eye. Ionic silver can also be very effective, especially externally, as long as it does not come in contact with hydrochloric acid (HCL), such as that which exists in the stomach in high concentration at mealtimes.
Effectiveness:As far as any academic debate on effectiveness between ionic silver and particle silver, I have no axe to grind, because the company I run manufactures and sells both ionic sliver and colloidal silver. Even though, those of us who make a low nanoparticle sized colloidal silver sometimes over-blow its importance beyond reason, particle size and surface area can make a difference in effectiveness, especially when trying to heal systemic issues. The bottom line is it doesn’t have to be some special sounding techno-babel name to be effective. You can hold a silver spoon or coin in your mouth and derive some germ-killing benefit from it.
Silver History & Silver Spoons:
Historically, the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and peoples around the world throughout history have used silver in one form or another to preserve food and water. Silver has historically been one of man’s most reliable tools in supporting the immune system against various germ caused maladies, even before man knew what germs were. Miracle substance exists say a growing number of scientists and in fact has for millions of years; it is silver.
The phrase “born with a silver spoon in their mouths” comes from the middles ages when the wealthy used silver utensils. During times of wide-spread illness, they would have their children would suck on silver spoons to reduce the chances of getting the plague. Silver in a medium of saliva releases silver ions. Ionic silver can also be very effective, especially externally, as long as it does not come in contact with hydrochloric acid (HCL), such as that which exists in the stomach in high concentration at mealtimes.
People's Right to Freely Choose Our Own Healthcare:No man and hence no government working under the “revolving door” influence and direction of the Pharma-Industrial Complex of drug companies has any right to dictate how we as free men and women should take care for our health. It is today as Thomas Jefferson astutely predicted, “If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.” This is one of the last bastions of liberty in America, but it is under constant attack and is rapidly being eroded and dismantled by the dictates of government tyranny. Such should never be accepted or tolerated. —Ben Taylor
