Neicy, I am not sure what the Vanderbilt Protocol is so I am hesitant to comment upon it.
All I know is that silver has never been known to react with anything - and that the only people who should not take it are those that are allergic to silver itself. So, IMHO it is safe for pretty well everyone to take.
American Biotech Labs has had independent in vivo toxicity tests completed on its ASAP Solution product that showed that at as much as 200 times the normal adult dosage, or the equivalent of an adult consuming 32 full ounces of the 10 ppm product at one sitting, the ASAP Solution was found completely non-toxic to the test animals. As was noted above, most adults using the ASAP Solution only use about 1 – 3 teaspoons a day.
Absorption And Retention Of Ingested Silver
According to the EPA IRIS Report on silver (Integrated Risk Information Systems) , page 5, 1st paragraph, it states that a number of tests were completed to test the absorption and retention of ingested silver in a number of animals (including primates). In conclusion, the test work indicated that between 90 – 99% of ingested silver was excreted on the second day after ingestion, and greater than 99% was excreted in less than a week.
So, in other words almost all of the silver was out of the body in only two days, which indicates that silver does not build up in the system when consumed in small amounts. [Lifesilver Editor’s note: As you will see elsewhere at this site, small amounts of ASAP Solution have been scientifically proven to possess very powerful antibiotic properties.]
