silver

Silver has powerful antiseptic and wound-healing properties. Colloidal silver produced by colloidal generators provide an alternative to conventional antibiotics.

Research has shown that nanosilver is a powerful antimicrobial agent that is non-irritating and non-toxic, and can kill up to 650 species of pathogenic microbes.

There has been a resurgence of medical interest in nanosilver because it effectively kills antibiotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA.

‘The metal consists of thousands of tiny ions which prevent bacteria, viruses and fungi from spreading by entering the cell and deactivating proteins. The microbes cannot reproduce and die, so the spread of infection is prevented.’

Silver is set to be increasingly added to medical equipment and hospital furniture as a way of preventing hospital-based infections. Research with the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust has found that the metal can reduce bacterial levels by 99 per cent.
