8 Silver Benefits and Uses Backed By Science

8 Silver Benefits and Uses Backed By Science

                                    

Destroys antibacterial bacteria in the body: The mineral silver is has the amazing ability to fight and destroy antibiotic-resistant super-pathogens.  While employed at UCLA Medical School in the 1980s, Larry C. Ford, MD, documented that silver can actually kill over 650 bacteria, fungi, parasites, molds and fungi that have the potential to sprout diseases. At the same time the tests established that silver has no known side effects.

Heals wounds and skin conditions:  Robert O. Becker, M.D., a surgeon who was employed at Syracuse Medical University made an amazing discovery by generating silver ions directly into open infected wounds. He found that not only did the silver effectively kill the infectious microorganisms responsible for the disease, but it also triggered remarkable and quite unexpected re-growth of human tissue and bone at the site of the infection. Becker discovered that silver caused cellular repair, resulting in dramatic healing of damaged tissues. In 2012, a research article produced by Pharmacognosy Communications recommended that certain silver preparations should be considered for topical use to treat burns, thrush, periodontitis and other conditions. Silver also helps heal other skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.

Prevents and kills virus’s:  Martin Hum, from the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, lists silver as one of the natural remedies to stop viruses. The colloidal silver used in modern supplements is a suspension of pure metallic silver in water. It is thought to work by interfering with the enzymes that enable viruses, bacteria and fungi to utilize oxygen. In other words, it suffocates and kills them.

Anti-Inflammatory: The production of pure silver has opened new possible uses of this precious metal. US National Library of Medicine, states nanocrystalline silver-derived solutions appear to have anti-inflammatory/pro-healing properties. Nanocrystalline silver-derived solutions show promise for a variety of anti-inflammatory treatment uses.  

Treats and prevents sinus infections and allergy suffers: A study published in the International Forum for Allergy and Rhinology in 2015 says that silver can help sinus infections. Studies also found that hidden infections by pathogens could be a cause of respiratory inflammation associated with common allergies and asthma. Silver destroys Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, which may be the reason why airborne allergy sufferers experience excellent results from using silver. Silver even kills the deadly, drug-resistant MRSA pathogen, now responsible for up to 94,000 life-threatening infections.

Purifies water: Using two teaspoons of silver with a potency of over 30 ppm can purify one gallon of water shown at recent studies at UCLA.

MRSA: Statistics show more deaths are caused by MRSA infections than from the AIDS virus. Recent clinical studies show that silver destroys the MRSA pathogen quickly and effectively, unlike any other infection fighting medication.

Better than an antibiotic: When an individual uses too much antibiotics over a course of time they can develop a resistance to it. Silver, doesn’t create resistance or immunity in the organisms that are killed by it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reporting that more than 2 million people in the U.S. suffer illness every year as a result of antibiotic-resistant infections and 23,000 die from these infections.  With this said, individuals should seriously consider looking into using silver as possible substitute for antibiotics.

With the movement toward fighting disease and infections with natural substances, many are turning toward silver supplements as an alternative to conventional medicine.
