Certain groups of people try to classify silver as a heavy metal such as cadmium and Mercury, in order to promote fear mongering regarding the use of silver in medicine. The term "heavy metals" is both meaningless and misleading. Just about anything can be toxic if used abusively. In truth, silver, gold, copper and platinum are noble metals, not "heavy metals" like mercury, plutonium or lead. If you look it up in the Wikipedia encyclopedia, it is not found in the list of heavy metals.
