Unless you're eating powdered silver, the particles are so small, particularly WRT CS, it's all absorbed by your bloodstream before it gets very far down your digestive tract. In a dog for example, the CS is detectable 33 seconds from the time it is infused into the (presumably empty) stomach.
But if you were sick with the 'flu and your system was empty anyway, you could control the intestinal portion of the flu by drinking very large quantities of CS. Sheer volume may get it there. It's true that silver is ineffective in a nonliquid meduim, but the intestine is a primarily liquid medium, that is, it has enough liquid present to produce ionic reactions. That's how the bloodstream picks up the silver ions. But if the chunks were large enough, like powdered silver, the ionic effect would continue down inside your bowel until the silver was used up. Which would depend on your intestine's PH and any other reactivity. That would correlate roughly to powdered silver safely being injected IV in the 1920's. It will eventually dissolve in an acidic environment. fair enough?
