WHAT AND WHY IONIC SILVER?
The article promotes ionic colloidal silver as a natural and effective alternative to antibiotics, capable of killing a wide range of pathogens without harming human cells. Despite its historical use and proven antimicrobial properties, the article argues that ionic silver is underutilized due to its classification as a natural health product rather than a drug. It criticizes the medical community for not fully embracing ionic silver, especially given the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and includes personal stories of those who have benefited from its use.
