Gelatinous silver is protected from stomach acid and is dissolved and absorbed from the intestine, Kephra said. Then it is retained by the liver and transferred to the intestine via the bile duct, he said. I know that everything absorbed from the intestine is first filtered in the liver and then enters the bloodstream. So, if silver is kept in the liver, how does it enter the bloodstream? My other question is, does the silver thrown into the intestine with bile damage the beneficial intestinal flora until it comes out?
