Silver:
An Element of Good Health
|
If you're a silver lover, here's something else you'll appreciate about this lustrous metal: it can kill or suppress the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria. Silver's association with anti-bacterial properties has long been established. The ancient Phoenicians knew enough to keep water, wine and vinegar in silver vessels to ensure freshness. It is only recently, however, that scientists have discovered why silver works. Quite simply, silver interrupts the bacteria cell's ability to form the chemical bonds essential to its survival. These bonds produce the cell's physical structure so when bacteria meets silver it literally falls apart. Stainless steel doesn't offer these benefits nor does it retain its value. Why not buy something that has been staving off illnesses naturally for centuries? Consider drinking from a silver goblet or eating from flatware an elegant way to stay healthier. And when it's time to pass down your silver to the next generation, you can extol silver's health benefits as well. |
Spread the word! If you're a silver dealer selling your wares from your shop or at shows, print a poster to use on your display case or wall, enlightening your customers as to the health benefits of owning silver, not to mention its intrinsic value. 8x10 8.5x11. |
