For thousands of years health care practitioners and health
minded people have been using the health benefits of silver to treat a myriad
of human ailments. The ancient Phoenicians understood that keeping water, wine
and vinegar in silver lined vessels maintained the freshness of each. Silver is
a germicide and a disinfectant. It is a natural antibiotic, anti-viral and
anti-fungal agent. The only problem is that our wonderful government agency,
the FDA, does not agree. They decided in 1999 that all colloidal silver
products sold over the counter are unsafe and mislabeled. They state they are
unaware of any evidence to support its use for any serious disease. [www.FDA.gov/ohrms/dockets/98f/081799a.txt]
