I am not sure it means anything, except maybe why some people have made (or 
think they
have made) EIS with an ionic content over 30  ppm despite the limited 
solubility of
silver hydroxide and silver oxide.  Silver carbonate has a solubility of 32 
ppm, so in
conjunction with silver hydroxide and silver oxide, it should be possible to 
have an
ionic content of about 60 ppm.

I believe that silver carbonate will convert to silver chloride upon contact 
with
stomach acid, so the end result should not be significatnly differerent than if 
there
is no silver carbonate.  But until more research is done I can't say for sure.
