Throughout history, people have used silver pitchers and dishes to purify water and prevent food from spoiling. Pioneers dropped a silver coin in milk to keep it from going bad. Churches used silver communion goblets to prevent diseases from spreading through the congregation. From these experiences, we learned that silver is a valuable nutritional supplement! ​

​

Testaments through the ages describe the use of silver to self-medicate and cure diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Science agrees that colloidal silver kills these microbes in vitro, and pathogens cannot develop resistance to it!
​

​Silver was the standard of care before 1938. It was a well-known panacea and a staple in most homes. However, it was expensive for pharmaceutical companies to manufacture, so they invented antibiotics as a cheap alternative. Because they had so much money, power, and influence, pharmaceutical companies smeared competitors, vilifying more effective treatments like colloidal silver, and it fell out of favor.
​
Powerful business interests continue to dominate the healthcare market, and consumers endure biased information. In truth, colloidal silver continues to be so gentle and effective that it is dropped in the eyes of newborns to cure conjunctivitis in hospital settings. Silver is also regularly used in salves for burn and wound dressings in that industry.
