“An all-natural A Powerful Immune Boost”
The immune system is made up of antibodies, white blood cells, and other chemicals and proteins that fight and abolish foreign substances such as bacteria, infections and viruses that they recognize as unfamiliar and a threat to the body overall health.
The immune system works together to reduce these microbes’ from entering the body and preventing them from growing and causing illness.
A Natural Way to Avoid Illness
Silver a natural mineral can supercharge your immune system and help you stay healthy. Research has shown that consuming silver daily is both safe and effective for boosting and maintaining a healthy immune system.
Top 10 Benefits and Uses of Silver
Destroys antibacterial bacteria in the body: The mineral silver 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.
Treats and prevents the common cold and flu’s: Small amounts taken daily can boost your immune system and help to prevent colds and flu. In 2011 the NIH took 100 children under the age of 12 suffering from the common cold and nasal congestion and assigned them into two groups; the first group was treated with a solution of silver and beta glucan and the second group with saline solution. Even though both groups benefited from the treatment, 90% of the people in the silver group completely recovered.
Treats and fights against bronchitis and pneumonia: Silver is a remarkable mineral, which can help fight against bronchitis and pneumonia when ingested internally.
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 many 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 reported that more than 2 million people in the U.S. suffer illness every year as a result of antibiotic-resistant infections and 23,000 dies from these infections. With this said, individuals should seriously consider looking into using silver as a 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.
