Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 A lot depends on the purity of your water. If it is distilled and from a reliable source then you have no worries of Agryia. Only Silver Salts can cause Argyria, it is only cosmetic, can not hurt you and it IS reversible, contrary to popular disinformation campaigns. Topical use would worry me the least. You have to ingest contaminated CS for a very long time before it becomes an issue. I would however be sure to let the solution settle and decant, that is pour off the CS be cautious not to disturb any flakes that may have settled to the bottom. Home made units are a bit more touchy, but if you babysit the batches and know what to look for they are quite adequate. If the solution is very dark yellow, brown or muddy grey I would not use it. I pour bad batches on my house plants. Garnet > My friend gave me a hand made " generator " . It consists of 2 pieces of > silver wire (different sizes) hooked up to a 9 volt battery.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Some few individuals reported by someone on the silverlist some time ago have actually shown the beginnings of argyria from pure CS which is not silver salts, silver citrate, or mild silver protein. This does seem to be much rarer than argryia from the compounds, salts, and citrates and msp. I wonder if they are selenium deficient? Or have some other deficiencies going on.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Without knowing what they were actually consuming I would hesitate to conclude that it was pure CS. There are many ways that you can make Silver compounds when you think you are making CS. To this point I can only consider such reports as unsubstantiated. Most of us are Se deficient. So if this were a factor in Argyria I think we would see a lot more of it.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 My best recollection is that it was a person who has proven very reliable and knowledgeable who was in a postion to know what was being taken as " CS " . If you really want to track it down you could search the silverlist archives. In any case argryia is rare even among those ingesting the silver salts, silver citrates, and msp. Going even back to when Rosemary s was snorting ground silver or whatever it was up her nose, you would think if argyria were easily acquired, there would be many, many others. The product she was using, I have read was not all that rarely prescribed. paula > Without knowing what they were actually consuming I would hesitate to > conclude that it was pure CS.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 How would you tell if a horse got argryia? For the record as far as I can find out Argryia is completely harmless in itself. Purely cosmetic. Anyone know any different please let me know. And your set up should make perfectly good CS, with no auto controls, you just have to watch it more closely. My homemade generator is essentially the same as yours, except not liking batteries, I use a 9 volt wall transformer (salvaged from something or other) instead of a battery. paula Vicki (aka Atoka) wrote: > My friend gave me a hand made " generator " .
