>From http://health2us.com/colloid.htm?adword=2 : "The biological effects of silver are apparently due to reversible bonds with enzymes and other active molecules on the surface of cells. Due to its sulphydryl binding propensity, biologically available silver disrupts membranes, disables proteins and inhibits enzymes."
This is an interesting statement but there is not documentation so take it at face value. If it were true that it disabled or inhibited "enyzymes" it would in fact do so to mammalian systems and cause problems. Since it there is no sign of that happening, I belive this statement to be of limited value in answering this question. More specificity is needed. I emailed them for clarification or documentation.
