Roger, You would also need to take into account the silver distribution throughout the body before assigning a tissue concentration.
The distribution will not be even, indeed probably 90%+ will be found in the liver and kidneys after a short time. The initial high excretion rate via the kidneys could well be indicative of low numbers of metal scavenging enzymes, which increase in number in the face of increased metal concentrations and move the metal load to the liver and from there to the faeces. In terms of systemic protection, the silver ions must be able to react with the pathogen, which means they must be free or bound less securely to the tissue than they would be to pathogenic cells which happen along. I believe the best systemic protection will be found in a little often.
