Whats next? Will they find that silver and sulfur have medicinal and bio properties?
Silver has proved effecive on vampires and lychens, and it is highly antimicrobial too. My water filter is coated with silver.
Actually silver does have medicinal properties, silver is now used on surgical instruments for it’s antibiotic and anti bacterial qualities. Egyptians and Greeks purified their drinking water by storing in silver containers, it kills microbe of the nasty sort. Settlers of the West in the USA placed silver coins in their canteens to purify the water. Silver has no toxic properties and was the dominant anti microbial up until the invention of Penicillin. Silver is still used in dressings for burn victims and topical wounds. Silver kills bacteria, fungi and yeast forms.
There you have it.........now platinum, platinum is beginning to be used in all sorts of cancer therapies, but that’s another story!!
Well, silver has bio properties. It turns you blue. Arsenic and Chromium have bio properties also--not nice ones.
Back when an ice box was a real ice box my ole granny used to toss a silver dollar into the pitcher of milk kept in that early version of a refrigerator to make it stay fresh longer.
I still have that silver dollar.
She was religious about dropping that silver dollar into the fresh milk we got from a farmer down the road.
