According to the CDC from April 15, 2009 to July 24, 2009, states reported a total of 43,771 confirmed cases of novel influenza A (H1N1) infection. Of these cases reported, 5,011 people were hospitalized and 302 people died. The World Health Organization has reported 89,921 cases of swine flu worldwide, including nearly 400 deaths. The Virus spread the fastest in the most populated areas. In a world where human contact is inevitable and expected, a new product Silverpal uses the power of ionic silver to fight the spread of disease.
“For thousands of years, people have been using silver and silver ions for their bactericidal properties. The ancient Romans treated their water with silver coins, and the silver colloid medicine Argyrol dominated wound care in the early 20th century until the advent of antibiotics.”
A new antimicrobial cloth called the SilverPal has been recently launched in the market that kills 99.9% of germs. Germs are everywhere and because you can’t force the people you come in contact with daily to wash their hands, you must protect yourself from the germs that they can spread to you.
The traditional method of using antibiotics to fight infections is not as effective anymore. People build up immunity to them and therefore they do not work. The researchers conducting tests on ionic silver at the Washington University School of Medicine located in St. Louis have concluded that in some individuals using ionic silver, certain disease strains cannot get a foothold the same way they can with antibiotics. Individuals do not build immunity to ionic silver as they do to antibiotics.
SilverPal uses the strength of silver and silver oxides that control infection by killing bacteria and viruses at wound sites, explained Daniel M. Storey, chief technical officer at Nexxion in Longmont, Colo. Silver blocks infection by preventing electron transport in microbes and by impairing cell replication via interaction with DNA. Ionic silver also disrupts microbial structures and functions.
Using the antimicrobial cloth on virtually every surface kill disease causing germs. I can be used between hand washings to take advantage of the anti-bacterial properties of Silver to reduce bacterial counts. It comes in a convenient 12x12 inch wipe can be used over and over. Simply wipe your hands thoroughly!
SilverPal is easy to carry in a pocket,purse, or travel bag and can be machine washed many times (cold, delicate cycle and line dried) with no reduction in effectiveness. Also useful as a microwave shield or minor wound/sunburn dressing.
