Are There Additional Health-Related Applications?
Yes. Silvagen also appears to be effective against yeasts (fungi). Work recently (April 1999) completed by microbiologist Jason Henrie at the University of California at Davis tested the ability of Silvagen at concentrations of up to 15ppm to inhibit the growth of a yeast S. cerevisiae var. Montrachet. Mr. Henrie reported the following: “The silver solution definitely inhibits the growth of yeast and the difference between treatments is statistically significant. The maximum growth rate and the final population for all but the 15ppm treatment are the same, so inhibition is due to a delay in the onset of growth. The 15ppm treatment presents a more interesting situation in that there is essentially no growth. It is important to note that the silver solution was applied in only one dose and that in a real-world situation it will be applied multiple times.
