Silver doesn’t always play second fiddle to Gold (yes, in price per ounce). Many people today still don’t realize Silver is used for its strong antimicrobial effects and properties… and has been for thousands of years. The ancient Phoenicians, who flourished around 1200BC, stored their water in silver bottles to prevent spoiling. Approximately 70 BC, the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder wrote of the ability of it to heal wounds by preventing infections. In the early 1700s, Angelus Sala used silver nitrate (AgNO3) to treat syphilis and chorea. In America’s Wild West, silver coins were placed in containers of water and milk to prevent spoilage. Silver was used successfully in WWI to treat infections before antibiotics were developed. Silver can have a toxic effect on some bacteria, algae, fungi, and viruses.Silver ions are thought to inhibit bacterial enzymes and bind to it’s DNA.
Today, silver is widely used in water filters and in water tanks. In health care, it is used in wound dressings and catheters. It is well know for use in mirrors, jewelry, cutlery, batteries, digital film, and other reflecting surfaces. At present, several companies are marketing “break through” food storage containers that include antibacterial silver nanoparticles to prevent spoilage. Silver has increased dramatically in consumer products as antibacterial agents such as in clothes, shoes, refrigerators, toothbrushes, plastic bottles and cutting boards. You can also drink colloidal silver for nutria supplement for humans. Colloidal silver is a liquid solution of charged silver particles of monovalent silver. Colloidal Silver is believed to help with ear infections, skin conditions, parasites, yeast infections in dogs. Colloidal silver works by destroying the oxygen metabolism in bacteria and fungal agents and the pathogens suffocate themselves….Got this precious metal?…You may need to. Silver medicinal properties are shining bright.
