Silver Safety Pyramid Provides Guidelines for Safe Usage of Any Ionic Silver or Colloidal Silver Supplement

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 8 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Silver Safety Committee (www.silversafety.org) today announced its creation of the Silver Safety Pyramid, which is designed to enable anyone to easily determine safe usage levels of any dietary supplement containing silver, typically referred to as ionic silver or colloidal silver.The Silver Safety Committee consists of doctors, chemistry professors and world leaders in health-freedom advocacy.This information addresses an area of interest to thousands of people who take silver supplements for health purposes, an interest which has been largely fueled by the high-profile case of a man who turned his skin blue by consuming massive quantities of home-made colloidal silver on a daily basis for years.According to Herbert Slavin, M.D., director of the Institute of Advanced Medicine in Lauderhill, Florida, and a member of the Committee, "This is an area where confusion and concern developed needlessly. Few things in life are as cut-and-dried as the fact that silver is completely safe when used within normal limits. The U.S. government provides a very clear guideline for the safe oral intake of silver. We've simply provided an easy method for applying that guideline to the safe use of any silver supplement product."The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a guideline called the Reference Dose (RfD) for safe limits on daily intake of silver. The EPA's RfD guideline is specifically intended to keep a person's intake of silver below the level that could possibly discolor the skin. The EPA emphasizes that one would have to consume much more silver than that before one would approach the levels at which any actual adverse health effects could occur."Anything in excess has consequences," said Jeffrey Blumer, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Center for Drug Research, the world's largest clinical research center for pediatric drugs, and former director of the Greater Cleveland Poison Control Center. "Common substances like table salt and aspirin are harmless with normal use, but excessive intake can become toxic and even life-threatening. With normal responsible usage, silver supplements are entirely harmless to humans."The Silver Safety Pyramid is based on the Committee's Silver Safety Guideline, which recommends that a person's intake of silver from dietary supplements be limited to 25 percent of the EPA's recommended limit for total daily intake of silver.It utilizes the Silver Safety Calculation, a simple mathematical formula that enables a person to easily determine how much to take of any silver-containing product to remain within the safety guidelines.The EPA RfD guideline is expressed in terms of micrograms of silver. Virtually all silver supplements, on the other hand, are labeled in terms of parts per million (ppm), which is the concentration of silver in the water, not micrograms.With the Silver Safety Calculation, you just plug in your pounds of body weight and the ppm of silver in whatever silver supplement you're using, and it calculates the appropriate limits for you."The EPA guideline was challenging for people to use as a guide for silver supplements," said Committee member Donald Baird, Ph.D., professor of chemistry at Nova Southeastern University and former director of the Department of Chemistry at Florida Atlantic University. "We provided the Silver Safety Pyramid to make it very easy."The Silver Safety Calculation is simple enough: 12 times pounds divided by ppm equals drops per day.The Silver Safety Pyramid provides guidelines for determining safe usage limits from three perspectives:* Daily use* Short-term use* Entire lifetime"This is useful information for everyone interested in using silver for health," Dr. Baird added. "If people follow these guidelines, they can use silver supplements while remaining fully confident they are not exposing themselves to any risks whatsoever."The Committee's website includes the Silver Safety Auto-Calculator, which automatically performs the math in the Silver Safety Pyramid for you.The site also has an Education and FAQ section, which helps clarify the meanings of terms like ppm, ionic silver, colloidal silver, and more.The website is www.silversafety.org.All trademarks acknowledged.

NEWS SOURCE: Silver Safety Committee Here is what the Silver Safety Auto-Calculator Looks Like:

(you can do the calculations manually with the formulas in the example below or for a working model of the calculator go to: http://www.silversafety.org/autocalculator.php#one_daily)

Note: 600 drops equals one fluid ounce.

The Auto-Calculator does the math in the Silver Safety Pyramid for you, automatically, utilizing the Silver Safety Calculation. Simply choose daily, short-term, or entire lifetime usage and plug in your pounds of body weight and the PPM shown for the silver supplement you're going to be using. It will instantly provide you with the figures that conform to the Silver Safety Guideline based on the Silver Safety Calculation.

Most people use silver supplements not on a daily basis but rather only when they feel the need. As a general guideline, try to limit your usageat this "short-term use" level to about 10 days per month.The combined total of your "daily use" amounts (#1) and your "short-term use" amounts (#2) should not exceed the total shown for your "entire lifetime" (#3).

You should not consume large quantities of silver in a short period of time. The EPA RfD refers to ongoing daily use for 70 years (#1). The body needs time to assimilate and eliminate what it needs to, which is the reason to also follow the general guideline for short-term use (#2). This figure in #3 represents the "daily use" limit (#1) used every day for 70 years. While it's impractical to precisely monitor your entire lifetime usage, this figure provides a useful guideline for responsible usage limits. (It also shows how generally safe silver supplements are, since very few people will ever approach this level with responsible use throughout their entire lifetime.)

Tony,

 

Thanks for sharing this wonderful dosing of CS. I now will not fear if i am taking too much. In fact, i can increase my intake.

Soooo...

 

600 drops = 1 oz

 

30 ml = 1 oz

 

1 Tablespoon = 15 ml = 1/2 oz

 

Therefore 2 Tablespoons = 1 oz

 

So, if my dd weighs 55 lbs, and I want to administer the silver for a

cold or virus, on a short term basis, I would enter her weight into the

first box, and then 20 in the ppm box, since that is the ppm listed on

the Utopia silver bottle I have. Then the answer is 330 drops per day,

or a bit over 1/2 an oz, or 1 Tablespoon.

 

Please tell if I have done this correctly?

 

Thanks! Jill~
