Hi Eldon,
Heres one reference that might give you some leads.

It would probably be  reasonable (but not necessarily correct ) to assume
that its

| every fluid compartment in the body is in equillibrium with every 
| other fluid compartment.  
The water in the cells is in a structured form, (that is a structured water
similar to what Cancell is trying to replicate) it is not just a bag of
water as medicine suggests, the water is structured and to put it
simplistically, like an apple which is predominantly water it is in an
organised form. There is barely any free water.  Inside this system is the
mitochondria through which there is an electron current which flows and
attracts paramagnetic ions. These are the elements with the uneven number.
Silver is 47 and is therefore paramagnetic. This electron force is
energised  by the attracted minerals and in turn attracts hydrogen.
Hydrogen acts as the attracting force and the water is polarised in tiers
that form one tier upon the next. All the same the mitochondria is not so
much affected by single element (apart from its preferred potassium) as by
the energy (produced by burning sugar) it helps to fuel.  The mitochondria
has a single purpose so far as I know and that is in energy production.  In
a sense you might say that when your energy levels are low your
mitochondria is not getting what it needs.  In fact without energy
production as ATP, our cells slow down and so do we.  Please contribute
more to this discussion.

Abstract 
Generalized argyria, the systemic dissemination and tissue deposition of
silver-containing particles, is characterized by slate gray discoloration
of skin, most pronounced in sun exposed areas. A 33-year-old woman visited
our dermatologic clinic complaining of frequent oral ulceration for 10
years and generalized discoloration of her skin for 5 years. She had had
her tongue painted with silver nitrate repeatedly 6 years ago for the
treatment of oral ulcers. Physical examination showed slate gray
discoloration of her skin, most pronounced on the face and neck. The oral
mucosa, tongue, sclera, and conjunctiva also had a slightly blue-gray
discoloration. Biopsy specimens from the oral mucosa and forearm revealed
small brown-black granules scattered in the dermis and basal lamina of
eccrine sweat glands, blood vessels, and hair follicles under the light
microscope. Tiny black granules were most numerous in the basal laminae of
vessels in electron microscopic observation. Energy dispersive X-ray
microanalysis (EDXA) confirmed that many of the granules contained silver.
