Silver, we are told, is filtered from the blood by the liver and excreted in the feces. So if someone taking CS has comparable levels of silver in the stool, that's a good thing. Intake = outgo = no accumulation! The good stuff happens in between where the body has adequate levels of silver available to work it's magic by whatever mechanism(s).
Now, just where are the beneficial bacteria in the gut? In the colon, or in the small intestine, or both? Where does the liver dump the stuff it filters out of the blood? We don't really know if the silver goes quite "everywhere", in that blood levels might not affect what goes on in the intestine, for instance. What I'm casting about for here is the possibility that you can avoid total wipe-out of gut flora if the CS is primarily absorbed in the mouth and/or stomach. Some people (e.g. Dameon) take CS by swishing in the mouth for a number of minutes then swallowing it or even *spitting it out*. They are getting through the mucous membranes in the mouth and may not even touch their intestinal flora. I've nuked my flora, I'm pretty sure, by taking lots of CS for an extended period. Lacking the flora changed stool consistency and effected uptake of nutrients, I believe. I ended up with muscle and joint pain in my back and lower extremities that disappeared within 12 hours of drinking some of that calcium supplemented orange juice. So it is important to support your body's digestive process, and it *is* possible to disrupt it taking CS. We've got the "mouth-swish method", and people sipping large amounts of 3-5 ppm silver as their drinking water, plus methods of replacing the gut flora with yogurt or acidophilus, enzymes, etc. Any of these might be sufficient to avoid side effects while gaining the full benefit of the silver.
