One of my docs recently recommended it as well, so I'm curious to the answers you get here!

Well you can find some anecdotal stuff on the internet:

-it seems to be affective
-if the silver particules or to big and the parts per million ratio(ppm) is high there could be a chance of Argyria. I personally think that chance is small.
-if the silver particules or very small (nanoparticles) they could be potentially harmfull. After GMO, nanopartictles seem to be the next evil. read:

Smaller particles and low ppm seem to be more effective.
I wouldn't take it on a regular basis, only from time to time.
