July 11, 2013 When Silver Becomes Real Medicine

Silver has been used to heal infections for thousands of years. It is currently commonly used in alternative medicine in its colloidal form suspended in water as a broad spectrum treatment for infections with bacteria, viruses and fungi in both humans and animals.

A recently published scientific study led by James Collins of Boston University has confirmed this usage by showing how silver ions disrupt and ultimately kill bacteria by increasing the permeability of their cellular membranes.
Silver nitrate drops and ointments are one thing, but this new scientific revelation could turn out to be revolutionary in terms of supporting a new frontier for silver’s use in medicine, not only by itself, but also in conjunction with existing antibiotics to make them even more effective.
Welcome to the new frontier of combination antibiotic and silver medicines.

US takes dollar off Gold/SIlver Standard...

~~~~~~ Will China put their YWAN dollar up on the market being backed by banks with GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM certificates like the US did? U.S. enjoys a nice World market to trade dollars in. What if CHINA competed for those world trade dollars?
~~~~~~~~~ If everyone over night stopped using the AMerican dollar for WORLD TRADE, and started using the CHINA YWAN dollar backed by precious metals, what would that do to American economy?
~~~~~ Is it possible for CHina to buy enough precious metals to back their current currency? Our debt is so high, is their anything The U.S. could do??? Besides War, any ideas?
