       The 
        History of SILVER as a Healing Metal: 
        Throughout 
        the ages we've known the properties of silver. The ancients stored their 
        water in silver vessels to prevent bacteria from growing. American settlers 
        would put a silver dollar in their milk containers to stop it spoiling. 
        The age old phrase 'born with a silver spoon in his mouth' did not mean 
        wealth but health. In the 18th.century, babies fed with a 'silver spoon' 
        were found to be healthier than those fed using other metals. Seventy 
        years ago 'Colloidal Silver' was a proven germ fighter and widely used. 
        It was the mainstay of antibiotic treatment. In 1914 the medical journal 
        (Lancet) reported phenomenal results from its use. Dr. Henry Crooks showed 
        'Colloidal Silver' to be absolutely harmless and non-toxic to humans and 
        highly germicidal. Prior to 1940, articles regarding the benefits of 'colloidal 
        silver' were frequently seen in medical journals. During the 1930's silver 
        was used both externally and internally for a variety of medical conditions. 
        Because of the price of silver and the inception of penicillin and other 
        antibiotics - use of 'Colloidal Silver' fell by the wayside. In the late 
        1970's interest in silver was rekindled because of its usefulness for 
        the treatment of burns victims. Silver could be used over large areas 
        of the body and is non-toxic and non-stinging, even to the eyes. 
       
        What is a Colloid:  
        A 'colloid' consists of ultra-microscopic particles. These particles stay 
        suspended because they have a tiny charge placed on them produced by electro-colloidal 
        process. The particles are so small that the force of an electrical charge 
        on the particles against the water molecules is greater than the pull 
        of gravity. As a result the particles can stay in suspension at appropriate 
        concentrations almost indefinitely with no need for chemicals or stabilizers. 
        In a true 'colloid' these particles are so ultra-fine that they cannot 
        be seen by the naked eye. We supply a pure, high quality true colloid 
        with silver particles in the correct range of 3 to 15 parts per million 
        (it should never exceed 20 parts per million). This ensures a safe and 
        effective product that gives the best results. This is not true for all 
        preparations on the market. So beware of products with higher concentrations 
        as they could attack friendly bacteria in the same way as synthetic antibiotics, 
        which would upset your body's natural balance.  
         
        * Today NASA uses silver in their water-filters and water purification 
        systems for the space shuttles…as it kills and keeps bacteria from growing 
        inside the filter itself.  
         
        * In Ayurvedic medicine, Dr. Vasant Lad states in 'The Science of Self 
        Healing' that silver is an important healing metal. It is used in the 
        treatment of mental, nervous and movement disorders, chronic fever, weakness 
        after fever, inflammatory conditions of the intestines, hyperactivity 
        of the gall bladder, profuse menstrual bleeding, inflammatory heart disease 
        and liver and spleen disorders - all benefits from the ingestion of silver. 
         
         
        * 2006: The journal for nanotechnology reported a ground breaking study 
        conducted by the university of Texas and Mexico, which showed that 'silver 
        nanoparticles' kills HIV-1 and is likely to kill virtually all other virus 
        including Avian 'Bird' flu and MRSA.  
         
        * Usually, an antibiotic will kill a half a dozen different strains of 
        bacteria. Research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. 
        Louis has shown that silver is bactericidal to some 650 strains of disease 
        causing organisms and that resistant strains can not develop with silver 
        in the way they do with antibiotic drugs.  
       
        * LABORATORY TEST RESULTS : 
         
        To ensure that we are supplying 
        the best Colloidal Silver, we have had ours privately analysed by 'Eurofins 
        Laboratiries' for contaminants and pathogens (bacteria) such as 
        Salmonella, E Coli, Bacillus Cereus, Mould, Yeast, Staph-Aureus and 
        others and it successfully passed all the test for purity.
