Two thousand, three hundred years ago, Alexander The Great was
surveying his battlefield and drinking water from silver urns. He knew
nothing about bacteria, but he knew that silver containers have a
seemingly miraculous way of keeping water fresh. Silver has been used
for thousands of years in different forms for its health benefits.
Throughout the middle ages, the wealthy gave their children silver
spoons to suck upon to stave off illnesses. People have known about the
benefits of silver for so long that it is incorporated into legends.
Silver is the recommended agent for killing vampires, werewolves, and
various forms of the so-called undead. According to ancient legend, a
silver dagger was all that a knight needed to vanquish evil.
The new history of silver is a falsified history. Silver was once
used extensively by all health care practitioners as an antibiotic,
anti-viral, and as an anti-microbial. Nothing worked better then, and
nothing does now. The F.D.A. began its crusade against silver products
in the 1930's, because silver (as a natural substance) cannot be
patented; but the organization's antibiotic and vaccine industry
partners were able to patent their wares. Under the Food and Drug
Administration's original name, the Bureau of Chemistry, its real
mission was to legally protect the chemical industry by declaring toxic
chemicals to be "generally recognized as safe", and to eliminate the
chemical industry's competition through regulations. This history has
likewise been obscured greatly in most modern historical texts, but the
truth can be found in materials from its early period.
Silver medicine has been erased from the textbooks, and it is seldom given mention in medical literature.
