One of the best kept secrets in modern medicine, is the remarkable antibiotic characteristics of silver.  Silver has been used as a medicine and preservative by many cultures throughout history dating back to the ancient Greeks who stored their drinking liquids in silver-laden vessels to prevent spoilage and contamination.Even early pioneers trekking across the wilderness of America placed silver coins in their water barrels and milk containers to protect them from bacteria and algae. Practically everyone who reads these words had a silver solution placed in their eyes soon after birth to prevent any type of secondary infection, including gonorrhea infections of the eyes.  This practice began with the German Obstetrician Dr. K.S. F. Crede in 1884 at his university clinic in Leipsige.  Now, the application of these silver droplets is required by law in the United States, Canada, Norway and Denmark.
