Says the colour comes from melanin, not silver deposits.

OBSERVATION IN MAN
http://www.inchem.org/documents/jecfa/jecmono/v12je19.htm
Absorption of silver resembles whole body retention. It is
retained in all body tissues (Hamilton et al., 1972a; Tripton et al.,
1966). The silver content of the miocardium, aorta and pancreas tends
to decrease with age (Bala et al., 1969) although the amount of silver
in the body increases with age (Hill and Pillsbury, 1939). The
concentration of silver in healthy human tissues from the United
Kingdom was 1-9 µg/kg ash was found. The average silver contents in
wet tissue of normal Americans was about 0.05 µg/kg (Tripton, 1963).
The intake from the diet is estimated at 27 µg/day (Hamilton and
Minski, 1972) up to 88 µg/day (Kehoe et al., 1940).
Silver toxicity is manifested in a variety of forms, some proven
others suspected. Proven forms include: argyria, gastrointestinal
irritation, renal and pulmonary lesions. Suspected forms include,
among others (ill-defined) arteriosclerosis (Casarett and Doull,
1975).
Argyria denotes the slate blue colour observed in parts of the
body of persons exposed chronically to silver (Anderson, 1966).
Epidemiologically, two types of argyria are recognized: industrial
argyria and iatrogenic argyria.
Regardless of type there are two forms of argyria, local and
generalized. The local form involves the formation of grey blue
patches on the skin or may manifest itself in the conjunctiva of the
eye. In generalized argyria the skin shows widespread pigmentation,
often spreading from the face to most uncovered parts of the body. In
some cases the skin may become black with a metallic lustre. Heavy
pigmentation of the eye structures can interfere with vision (Casarett
and Doull, 1975). Except for this adverse effect argyria is solely a
cosmetic problem. The slate blue colour of argyria is not entirely due
as one might suspect, to the deposition of metallic silver (Petering,
1976), but largely to an increased deposition of melanin. Silver has a
melanocyte-stimulating property (Rich et al., 1972). Cases of
generalized argyria have occurred after ingestion or chronic medicinal
application of gram quantities of silver. Silver was absorbed during
prolonged (nine months) nasal application of Targesine (silver
solution). It was calculated that during this time 7000 ml of solution
containing 210 g silver had been used (Voldrich et al., 1975).
After chronic medical and occupational exposure to silver,
argyria and argyrosis are the most common findings. Although
intravenous administration of a total of 0.91-7.6 g (average 2.39)
silver as silver arsphenamine in a period of two to nine years has
caused argyria, hundreds of patients have received up to 1.7 g Ag
(as arsphenamine) without developing argyria.
In argyria silver is regularly deposited in blood vessels,
connective tissue, skin, glomeruli of the kidney, choroid plexus,
mesenteric glands and thyroid. Adrenals, lungs, dura mater, bones,
cartilage muscle and nervous tissue are minimally involved as
deposition sites for silver.
In workers argyrosis of the cornea may be accompanied by
turbidity of the anterior lens capsule and disturbance of the dark
adaptation, usually not resulting in loss of vision.
Argyria is observed only in connexion with occupational medical
exposure or after cosmetic application of silver (Hill and Pillsbury,
1939).

Infections and Infectious Diseases
http://www.truehealth.org/aeffect.html
The daily seafood routine is highly effective at preventing infections and
infectious diseases. It appears that the trace element silver, which
currently remains unrecognized and is still 'unknown' in the medical
sciences - never mind maintained in agricultural soils - is a potent agent
against a wide range of infections, and particularly so against
viruses.Silver is known as 'toxic' to our system. This is not quite true.
Silver is a natural component - albeit in miniscule amounts - of all 'wild'
plant and animal organisms, including all seafood. And while definitely
toxic to us in larger amounts, the toxicity of the ultra-miniscule amount of
silver in all 'wild' plant and animal tissue is absolutely deadly to all
microorganism, such as bacteria, and especially so viruses.Since silver is
not maintained in the soil by our modern agriculture, all of our
agriculturally grown food has become severely deficient in silver.
Consequently, we now have a severe deficiency in the ultra-miniscule amount
of silver our bodies need in order to defend themselves against these
invading microorganism. It is as if our bodies have an impenetrable defense
ring of highly sophisticated and super accurate canons - but no
ammunition.Do not even think about supplementing silver in your body!It will
kill you!Today, and in the absence of food grown in soils containing trace
elements of silver, a daily serving of seafood is the only really safe
source.
Corn mention on another page on the site listing chemicals used.
http://www.truehealth.org/acornrec.html
As these agricultural recommendations show, corn is heavyly and often
treated - frequently at 5 day intervals - with a wide range of agricultural
poisons.
