What BS. There are hundreds of thousands of people swilling down ionic silver with no dire consequences. I suspect some competing interest is funding this scare.

from the article:
what is the difference between nanoparticle silver and Ionic silver, Iggy?

As far as I know, nanoparticles are simply small particles consisting of 1 or a few atoms of silver. Ionic silver is a silver atom which is missing an electron, which makes it more reactive to microbes. Most home CS generators produce 80 to 95% ionic silver with the balance being nanosilver.

We're talking about minuscule amounts of silver. When diluted into ground water, I doubt it would even be detectable.

These scientists have an agenda. They're force feeding it in high concentrations, to prove their preconceived notion.

I would bet that infinitely more nano silver and ionic silver is dumped into our landfills via discarded elecronic and photographic products.

Nano is just a buzz-word. CS was nano before nano was cool.
The "invention" of "BuckyBalls or Fullerenes" was a big deal in 1985 and ushered in the nano craze....then they discovered that common soot consisted of natural carbon buckyballs. Nanotechnology will eventually revolutionize materials technology and there is concern about how such microscopic waste will impact our environment.

Dr. Oz Investigates the Man Who Turned Blue

I take ionic silver every day and so does my son. We brush our teeth with it, gargle with it, and take it when we don't feel so good. We squirt it up our noses and put it in our ears. I even put a small amount in my cats water to kill germs and keep his gums healthly. We use it topically on rashes and scratches! When my son gets a suspicious lump, he is prone to boils (or was I should say), we put silver on it. It also kills fungus. I wouldn't be without it and hope I don't ever have to be! ABTW, I have been using it for three years and I have not turned blue, neither has my son. Even if that was a side effect, it would be worth it IMO!
