Some interesting highlights from U.N. World Health Organization...
Silver
is found in human tissue
"The average silver contents in wet tissue of normal Americans was about 0.05 µg/kg (Tripton, 1963)."- Silver is
found in human diet
"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 is
found in seafood
"Silver was below detectability in the shells (i.e. below 1 ppm) while the soft tissues was 28-82 (±10-20) ppm (Casarett and Doull, 1975; Windom and Smith, 1972)." - Silver is
absorbed
internally
"Silver can be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. (Browning, 1969)." - Silver is not
an accumulative poison
"Unlike lead or mercury there is no evidence that silver is a cumulative poison (Petering, 1976)." - Silver ion is "very toxic" to "lower forms of life"
(germs)
"Silver ion is a very toxic substance when viewed from the standpoint of its action of an inhibitor of enzymes and as a metabolic inhibitor of lower forms of life. Biochemically, the silver ion (Ag+) can act as potent enzyme inhibitor (Chambers et al., 1974)."

National Institutes of Health - Pub Med
"Nanosilver has developed as a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. ... The targeting of cancer cells using silver nanoparticles has proven to be effective" - Pub Med, NIH.gov - Nov-Dec 2009 National Institutes of Health - Pub Med
"[silver colloid nanoparticles] showed high antimicrobial and bactericidal activity ... including highly multiresistant strains ... A very low concentration of silver (as low as 1.69 mug/mL Ag) gave antibacterial performance." - Pub Med, NIH.gov - August 2006 Government of British Columbia
"Silver is a disinfectant for non-spore forming bacteria at concentrations about 1000 times lower than the levels at which it is toxic to mammalian life. ...The ionic form of silver is necessary" - British Columbia Ministry of Environment Nursing Times
