This is easily proven in the test tube, as many of us have done.  What do
you propose that would prevent it from happening in the stomach? Chemistry
is chemistry.

I am not sure what you are saying here. Silver chloride when it is
dissolved is going to be in ionic form, so it would make it into the blood
stream. Are you trying to imply otherwise?

Silver chloride in the blood stream should quickly become fulminating
silver from the traces of ammonia in the blood stream, then it will react
with the glucose in the blood to reduce onto the particles of silver which
are already there causing them to grow slightly. Some may also form silver
atoms or small particles on their own..

Why?  Colloidal silver prevents argyria, silver compounds cause it.  Why do
you think that the combination would cause it when the colloidal particles
portion are providing trillions of trillions of nucleation sites for the
reduction of silver compounds to plate out on?  Argyria should only occur
when you have few if any nucleation sites which end up in the skin due to
the photo reduction of the compounds from sunlight, so that they grow so
fast and dramatically they get stuck in the tissues.

Huh? Do the math.  If you drink one ounce of 5 ppm EIS, that will contain 4
ppm of ionic silver typically. If you have 4 ounces of liquid in the
stomach, then 100% of the silver chloride will dissolve in the contents.
If you drink more CS, then only about 1 ppm of silver chloride will
dissolve in the stomach at a time, but since it would quickly transport to
the blood stream, the rest will still dissolve in short order.  Silver
chloride has a solubility of .8 ppm in cold water, and higher in body
temperature water. This is not trivial when we are talking about only 5 or
so ppm CS to start with.  Also it is known that silver chloride taken by
mouth without the prophylactic effects of any colloidal silver to
counteract it will result in argyria. That proves that significant amounts
of silver can end up in the blood stream even if you start with silver
chloride.
