Silver has been used in the olden times to disinfect water and also to keep milk from fermenting.
There are many studies that show the admission that silver kills germs, then it therefore stands to reason that silver in water will do no less.
Following is a list of a number of clinical studies concerning the use of silver in various forms, from silver anti-microbial wound dressings to anti-microbial silver polymer for the treatment of venous leg ulcers to the use of ionic silver to promote healing:
