I use this formula when getting new tattoos, and as an after care ointment . It's a natural antibiotic.
Prior to 1938 CS was used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered to be quite " high tech" .
Contemporary Studies show laboratory tests in 1988 by Larry C. Ford MD UCLA School of Medicine and other researchers showed that destructive bacteria, virus, and fungus organisms are killed within minutes of contact with a simple metallic silver.
Colloidal Silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter. Because no known disease causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver, CS is effective against more than 650 different disease causing pathogens.
Colloidal Silver is painless on cuts, abrasions, or in open wounds. Colloidal silver have been used dating back pre World War 1 to prevent skin infections from trench foot, to treating gun shot wounds.
Have you ever thought about why silverware is made out of silver ? Its because the silver is what kills bacteria within six minutes or less. :)
I also produce a high grade Colloidal Silver soap. Made to order. Just ask...
Wash with soap, than apply cream for a extra level of protection.
