twinkiedooter agrees: You have no personal information to share about silver water to have any idea of what you are talking about.

I have no personal information on vioxx, celebrex and other drugs either but that doesn't mean I don't know anything about the side effects or class action lawsuits.

Also as J_9 said if I want to discuss vitamins, minerals and supplements of any kind I NEED to include the precautions which is what I am doing.
Also as Michealb said just because something does cause side effects on one person doesn't mean it will not cause side effects on somebody else.

As I said it is fine to use it but as with anything else watch for any side effects and cut back or stop. The color of silver and of beta carotene is just temporary anyway until the excess gets out of your system. It isn't like she would turn into a blue blue anyway but start to get a slight tint. The people that turned REALLY blue were probably taking mega doses. And I did tell Chihuahua to not over do it.

I have been studying alternative remedies for over 12 years.

The color from Beta Carotene is temporary. The color you get from silver is not. Once you see a blue tint from silver it is to late your stuck with it.

Oh wow that I didn't know but it being a metal I can believe it. I only recommend silver to people with severe problems that it would be best for. I take the silver occasionally. I really think a lot has to do with if a person is mega dosing it, the quality of it, etc...
I think Chihuahua mama will be okay with it.

Thanks for all the information guys. I've been doing a little research on my own.

I am wondering what the chances of argyria actually are.

NoHelp - I would have had SOME kind of adverse effects by now - some 6 years later, now wouldn't I? I really get annoyed when someone who ingests way too many vitamins puts down something that actually works. I'm not downing your taking vitamins for this and for that am I? No. Then you need to stop downing someone else's recommendations simply because YOU don't understand it. Sometimes taking too many vitamins can actually make you sick if you take too much of one vitamin/mineral without knowing it should be taken in combination with other minerals. Sorry. I just do not agree with you about someone's skin turning blue from taking so little of the silver water externally or internally. You need to do some more reading about silver water and it's benefits to accurately make ANY determination about it's efficacy in the human body.

Better silver water does NOT come in clear bottles as fresh silver water can be affected by light so a dark colored bottle is best. When I make my own silver water I try and use it within a two week period as it is freshest then. I keep it in a dark cabinet also.

Also, why would NASA use silver to purify the water onboard space shuttles if it were at all toxic? Or why would commercial airlines use silver to purify their water also? I guess they want to kill any bacteria present and make the drinking water safe. Turning your skin blue is NOT caused by ingesting of silver water. Sorry. I don't buy that for one second and neither should you CMomma.

I understand what you are saying about silver water and I agree basically but I am agreeing MORE with Michaelb's posts on this. You say you are using it 10% and a better quality, responsibly, etc... that is good and that is most likely why you don't have to worry about turning blue. Like I said I never recommend it to people BECAUSE I do not know enough about the better brands, the best way(s) to take it etc... I never said avoid it because it WILL turn you blue
I said to be cautious for all the reasons stated throughout this post.

I don't know where or what you are having a problem with what I said. I said that taking silver water has its precautions. I do not see where you have said anything that differs from the things I was referring to.

P.S. I really do not 'down way too many vitamins'. Many I only take when I need them.
Like I take Vitamin D3 in the winter when my arthritis and seasonal affective disorder are bothering me because I live in a cold dreary winter climate. I take potassium when my legs cramp in the middle of the night. I know my body well enough to know what I need when I need it. It isn't like I am taking all my vitamins everyday. IF more people understood about vitamins they would realize that they do not have to accept their various ailments as an "I am getting old so what do you expect'' attitude.
