Experience The Power of Silver - Curad Silver Bandages
Curad's History of Silver:
"In ancient Greece, silver was used as a disinfectant for the storage of water. The Greeks also drank wine out of silver cups to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases."
"A silver dollar in a glass of milk can keep the milk fresh for several days."
"The expression "born with a silver spoon in your mouth" comes from the middle ages, when the wealthy gave their children silver spoons to suck on to ward off diseases."
"NASA uses systems containing silver to purify water on their space missions."
Silver- How It Works: Silver inhibits the growth of bacteria by deactivating the bacteria's oxygen metabolism enzymes. In turn, this destroys the bacteria's cell membranes, stopping the replication of the bacteria's DNA.
