Silver Use as an Anti-microbial

Silver has been used for centuries to control microbes --bacteria, fungus, yeast, and virus--in various cultures. In India with its hot, moist climate --silver is used to wrap and preserve foods where no refrigeration is available. These foods are eaten wrapper and all without ill effects.
Silver was commonly used in the United States until the advent of antibiotics in the 1940's.
Today it is the treatment of choice in burn units.
Antibiotics as we know are widely overused and are estimated to cause over 100,000 deaths per year. Recently we have begun to hear of MRSA, that is microbes which are resistant to new forms of bacteria. We need alternatives. In this case it is Back to the Future as we seek forms of treatment. Silver is a good, safe, inexpensive choice.
Can Silver Cause Metal Poisoning or Toxic Nephropathy? Any substance can be fatal in excessive amounts --even water. The MERCK manual (17th edition, p. 1880) has a list of toxic heavy metals--silver is the only one not listed as one that cause toxic nephropathy --kidney impairment.
