Silver (CASRN 7440-22-4)
Some interesting highlights from Environmental Protection Agency...
"The current RFD for oral silver exposure is 5 micrograms/kg/day with a critical dose estimated at 14 micrograms/kg/day."
(Equivalent to 350mcg per day for 150lb adult.)"Silver compounds have been employed for medical uses for centuries."
"The oral intake of silver from a typical diet has been estimated to range from 27-88 ug/day (Hamilton and Minski, 1972/1973; Kehoe et al., 1940)."
"In addition to silver arsphenamine, any silver compound (silver nitrate, silver acetate, argyrol, Neosilvol and Collargol, etc.), at high dose, can cause argyria."
"No evidence of cancer in humans has been reported despite frequent therapeutic use of the compound over the years."
