Metallic silver has been used for centuries as a natural antibacterial mineral. Over the years silver has been used in many forms. Some types of silver products are more benign in nature and some much more caustic. The more caustic forms of silver that are used are chemical, not metallic, such as silver nitrate or silver salts. In the past, silver salts have been used for various medical conditions and also as an anti-bacterial for medical purposes.
Silver salts can stain and burn the skin.
They are even used to cauterize wounds. The more benign forms of silver have also been used for many years to kill bacteria and to treat medical problems. The more benign forms of silver are products that use silver in the form of a metal, where the metal has been broken up in very small, or submicron size particles, and then suspended in highly purified water. With this form of silver, the user can obtain the bacteria - killing power of silver and yet not suffer any of the side effects associated with the stronger silver chemicals. The ASAP Solution is the only patented silver product of this kind in the world today.
