Answer:

Colloidal silver is extremely dangerous.

The ingestion of silver can lead to a permanent skin problem called argyria.

Please avoid that stuff. If you want more information read my blog on Yahoo 360. I have an entry for Colloidal silver with links.

Colloidal silver is a colloid of silver particles in water. It has antimicrobial properties and was, in the past, used on external wounds and burns to prevent infection. Some claim that it is a beneficial nutritional supplement and a powerful antibiotic, although this is disputed. As with many of the claims made for this product, there is no scientific proof of its efficacy as a treatment for illnesses such as anthrax following bio-terror alerts.

The ingestion of colloidal silver in large quantities or over a long period of time carries a high risk of argyria, a condition in which the skin turns permanently blue-gray.

Colloidal silver is toxic. Oral LD50 values for mice reported for colloidal silver are 100 mg/kg.

Continued ingestion of high doses (more than 1 gram of accumulated silver, or 5 mg per day) of colloidal silver may result in argyria, a rare condition causing a permanent discoloration of the skin.
