American Silver’s Antibacterial Product (The NEW Silver Solution)Testing Results Summary

The following results suggest that The NEW Silver Solution is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent – it is able to effectively stop the growth of, and in fact kill, a variety of bacteria.

The NEW Silver Solution has been tested against the following organisms.

Tuberculosis type B (tuberculosis is the number one human-killing bacteria world wide)

Staphylococcus aureus (Pneumonia, eye infections, skin infections (boils, impetigo, cellulitis, and post-operative wound infections), toxic shock syndrome, meningitis, food poisoning, osteomyelitis, and many others) inhibited @ 2.5 ppm[c][12] and killed @ 5 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.

Shigella boydii (Bacillary dysentery–characterized by severe cramping abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea) inhibited @ 1.25 ppm and killed @ 2.5 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.

Salmonella arizona (Food poisoning, etc.) inhibited @ 2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm. 1/28/99 BYU Report.

Salmonella typhimurium (Food poisoning and enteric fever) inhibited and killed at a concentration of 2.5 ppm. 6/7/99 BYU Report.

E. coli (Food poisoning, urinary tract infections, traveler’s diarrhea, diarrhea in infants, respiratory tract infections, and wound infections) inhibited and killed @ 2.5 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.

Haemophilus influenzae (Otitis media (ear infection), pneumonia, meningitis, throat and sinus infections (including epiglottitis in children and sinusitis), and suppurative arthritis in children) inhibited and killed @ 1.25 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.

Enterobacter aerogenes ( wound infections, urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and meningitis) inhibited and killed at a concentration of 2.5 ppm. 6/7/99 BYU Report.

Enterobacter cloacae ( causes ilnesses similar to the E. aerogenes) inhibited and killed at a concentration of 5 ppm. 6/7/99 BYU Report.

Klebsiella pneumoniae (lower respiratory tract infections, nosocomial infections (infections spread in hospitals), urinary tract and wound infections, and bacteremia) inhibited and killed @ 2.5 ppm. 1/28/99 BYU Report.

Klebsiella oxytoca, (Similar to those infections caused by K. pneumoniae) inhibited and killed at a concentration of 2.5 ppm. 6/7/99 BYU Report.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (severe burn and wound infections, keratitis, pneumonia, meningitis, nosocomial infections, urinary tract infections, etc.) inhibited @ 2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia, meningitis, sinusitis, otitis media (ear infection) inhibited @ 2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm. 4/21/99 BYU Report.

Streptococcus pyogenes (skin infections, upper respiratory infections (i.e. strep throat) impetigo, hospital-acquired infections, scarlet fever, etc.) inhibited and killed @ 1.25 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.

Streptococcus faecalis (Urinary tract infections, endocarditis, wound infections, etc.) inhibited @ 2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.

Streptococcus mutans (A major cause dental plaque and tooth decay etc.) inhibited and killed @ 5 ppm. 2/3/99 BYU Report.

Streptococcus gordonii (Tooth decay, also implicated in infective endocarditis-an infection of the heart valves) inhibited and killed @ 5 ppm. BYU Report 2/12/99 .

Additional testing information from the manufacturer:

“Thousands of tests have been completed measuring The NEW Silver Solution’s® ability to kill problematic bacteria at less than 10 ppm. The independent tests have proven The NEW Silver Solution® very effective at killing bacteria and yeasts, including the following: 60 different strains of Staphylococcus aureus (Pneumonia, eye infections, skin infections boils, impetigo, cellulitis, and post-operative wound infections, toxic shock syndrome, meningitis, food poisoning, osteomyelitis, and many others); E. coli B. (food poisoning); Shigella boydii (violent food poisoning); Salmonella arizona (food poisoning); Salmonella typhimurium (food poisoning, enteric fever); 60 different strains of Salmonella choleraesuis (food posioning); Haemophiles influenzas (flu, ear infections); Klebsiella pneumoniae (pneumonia, meningitis, nosocomial infections--infections spread in hospitals); Klebsiella Oxytoca; 60 different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (diphtheria-like illnesses, burn and cut infections, meningitis, pneumonia, etc.); Streptococcus pneumonia (pneumonia, meningitis, sinusitis, otitis media-ear infections); Streptococcus pyogenes (strep throat infections, skin infections, etc.); Streptococcus faecalis (urinary tract infections and endocarditis); Streptococcus mutans (a major cause of tooth decay); Streptococcus gordonii (tooth decay, also implicated in infective endocarditis-an infection of the heart valves); Enterobacter aerogenes (wound infections, urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and meningitis); Enterobacter cloacae (wound infections, urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and meningitis); Tuberculosis type B (tuberculosis is the number one human-killing bacteria world wide); S. cerevisiae var Yeast; Montrachet Yeast.

The NEW Silver Solution® has been able to kill every harmful bacteria that it has been tested against so far, at concentrations of 10 ppm or less.

Jason Henrie, a masters student at UC Davis, after testing The NEW Silver Solution® against a number of yeasts, concluded, “It is evident that a single 10 ppm application could prevent the further growth of a small population of yeast for 24 hours, allowing one’s immune system time to respond. Even more, multiple 10 ppm applications could conceivably prevent the growth of yeast indefinitely.”

INDEPENDENT SAFTEY DATA

In order to insure not only the best product, but also a safe product, an international and independent laboratory was hired to do a toxicology study on The Silver Solution. The test, called an LD-50 test, was performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) Regulations, 16 CFR 1500.

In the test work, The Silver Solution was given to a number of both male and female test rats. The amount of The Silver Solution given to the rats was 5g/kg, or the equivalent of a 200 pound man taking 192 teaspoons of about 4 full 8 ounce bottles of The Silver 10ppm Solution at one time (the normal adult dosage is one or two teaspoons/day).

As a result of the test work, the independent laboratory made the following conclusion, “Under the conditions of this study, there was no mortality or significant evidence of toxicity observed in the rats. The test article (The Silver Solution) would not be considered toxic at a dose of 5g/kg by oral route in the rat.”
