Progress

Early Signs of Argyria
M.C., Florida, USA

About 5 years ago, I began making ionic colloidal silver and have found this miraculous water to be beneficial for my overall health. I started out drinking half a glass in the morning and half a glass in the evening (8 ounces total per day).

After 4 years of ingesting ionic colloidal silver daily, I developed a darkening of the moons of my fingernails. All of my fingernails are purple, especially my thumbs. I now understand that people who have a Selenium or Vitamin E deficiency can develop this condition, which is called Argyria. I do not know if I have these deficiencies, but I now take both of these supplements.

For the last year, I have reduced the amount of ionic colloidal silver I take to one tablespoon per day. My fingernails are still purple, but I don’t mind one single bit, as colloidal silver has helped me with any stomachaches, bladder infections or colds that I have had. I believe in the benefits of ionic colloidal silver and will continue to take this for my overall good health.

I really appreciate being able to make my own colloidal silver!

Editors Note:
Mark Metcalf, author of "Colloidal Silver Making the Safest and Most Powerful Medicine on Earth for the Price of Water," has developed a program to potentially reverse argyria. The following details are from an article posted at www.silverprotects.com/argyria.html

1. 200mcg of selenium per day is a safe supplement to take on an ongoing basis.
2. He also advises a high-quality,* mixed vitamin E, at 1000 IU per day for people over 50 years of age who may be at risk of stroke, and 2,000 IU per day for people under 50 who are not at risk of stroke. I told Dr. Gruenn that I was taking 4,000 IU a day. He replied that this was still safe for a strong healthy person. The danger of high doses of vitamin E is that it thins the blood. This could be dangerous in many situations where bleeding is hard to stop.
3. Personally, I would also drink lots of water, simply because that's how the body clears out debris. No one knows if this therapy will prove efficacious, or if it does in how many cases. If my liver spots are any kind of indicator, some lightening of t he skin ought to be visible within six weeks if this therapy really is working. Three to six months should be a sufficient amount of time to completely eliminate argyria provided that no additional silver is being ingested. (Since my conversation with Dr. Gruenn, I've had some additional ideas for getting the most out of this nutritional therapy for argyria.)
4. 2 tsp. of MSM per day. Sulfur (MSM) binds with silver and can help to pull it from the body. More information on silver and sulfur can be found on page 74.
5. 4,000 mg. of vitamin C per day.
6. 1 tablet a day of a good quality multiple mineral since this therapy may deplete needed minerals from the body.
* Most vitamin E supplements are of poor quality and some even contain rancid oils that will be an additional burden rather than an aid to the body. Dr. Gruenn recommends a vitamin E that has a mix of d-alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopheryls.
