It looks like we will never cease to learn old things. No, that’s not a typo – I do mean old things. You see, I just read an article about colloidal silver which is considered among certain scientific circles to be the future of antibiotics. It turns out that colloidal silver is not only more effective in killing bacteria as opposed to modern antibiotics but it also kills a wider range of them. An interesting about silver is that it also attacks certain enzymes which act as the bacteria’s food source, thus eliminating the bacteria too. This “tactic” of silver is of highly importance since it is what guarantees that the bacteria won’t be able to develop an immune to the silver as it does to other antibiotics.

But the reason this whole topic is so interesting is the fact that the benefits of colloidal silver have actually been known for hundreds of years. It turns out that people have been using forms of silver for centuries in order to treat external wounds and prevent infection. So you see, we really do keep learning old things…
