More than 1 Oz Silver Does Kill the Good Gut Flora
I finally found an authoritative answer to this question, by Steve Barwick from the Silver Edge. Steve is a widely known expert on CS, so we can trust his articles.
".... it is important to understand that once you exceed an ounce of
Colloidal Silver a day, a fair amount of the mineral silver does indeed go through the intestinal tract and can kill off larger numbers of the friendly microbes your body depends upon for a number of functions. So experienced
Colloidal Silver users tell us that once they exceed an ounce a day – for example, when taking larger daily dosages to help fight off a cold, flu or other infection – they also supplement with lactobacillus acidophilus, or some other product containing friendly microbes.
"...Many experienced
Colloidal Silver users suggest that the simplest way to replenish the body's beneficial micro-flora is to eat some yogurt containing high beneficial bacteria counts each day during the time of increased silver consumption, and for a few days after having consumed the larger amounts of silver.

WHERE IS THE GUT FLORA?
==========================
"...In the stomach and small intestine, relatively few species of bacteria are generally present.[3] The colon, in contrast, contains a densely-populated microbial ecosystem with up to 1012 cells per gram...."

Therefore, most of our liquids are absorbed in the small intestine, leaving very little to enter the colon. I suspect we can take even more than 1
oz CS and still not affect the micro-flora. Does anyone have actual research on this?
