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. Whooa ... where are you coming from with this? Like referrences or documentation? Red flags are up here! 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. Flu is divided into different "portions"? Flu is a virus .... period, regardless of where it locates in the body and the anti-viral modality of CS lies in its smallest particles being able to circumnavigate the immune system to reach the virus anywhere and everywhere at the cellular level. 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. How about sublingual absorbtion? 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. Wrong! Blood circulating particles that are too large will deposit them in tissues close to the surface of the skin resulting in the infamous discoloration of Argyria. These particles do not "ionize" and disappear. Where did you get the information that "powdered silver" was "safely being injected intravenously" in the 1920's? If that indeed happened, I'm sure that ... in hindsight .... there had to have been horribly adverse effects! fair enough? No! We need to get on the same page! Where are you getting this information from? Robert Bartell
