Silver has been used for thousands of years to prevent the proliferation of pathogens in food, water, wine & other liquids. There is copious archaeological evidence from the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Ayurvedic traditions & others indicating that many cultures knew disease causing pathogens could not survive in the presence of silver.
American pioneers placed silver coins in their casks of drinking water to keep it safe from bacteria & algae. They also put silver dollars in milk to keep it fresh. Australian Settlers hung silverware in their water tanks to preserve the integrity of their drinking water.
In the late 1800s medicinal silver compounds were developed. Silver became commonly used as a medicine until the 1930’s when pressures were brought to bear against many natural remedies.
Today silver is used around the world in water purification systems, by airlines & NASA.
Silver-based salves are today used in hospitals to heal infections & treat burns.
