Abstract
Alternative medical therapy with multiple intravenous colloidal silver infusions may cause severe illness, including profound copper deficiency-induced anemia and hepatic toxicity. No chelating agent for silver poisoning exists and effective therapy requires apheresis in combination with continuous administration of oral copper.
