  should be handled at home.  The sooner there is
  intervention, the sooner the healing begins.  It
  is important to have natural products on hand
  that can immediately be used when a person feels
  "out of sorts".

The Silver Solution

• Your Second Line of Defense

11
We Are More Vulnerable To Infection Than We Think
12
Silver Shield

• Anti-microbial "Second Immune System"
• The very minute ionized particles of silver,
  suspended in pure water inhibit the function and
  metabolism of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and
  viruses. It works quickly on contact.

13
Silver How does it work?

• Silver reacts with bacterial cell wall inhibiting
  oxygen energy transfer into the cell, which
  results in suffocation. Thus, unlike synthetic
  antibiotics that are disease-specific, Silver
  Shield is cell-structure specificany single cell
  organism is subject to silver.

What Can Silver Shield Do?

  bind itself with and destroy electrons of
  targeted pathogens multiple times
