New scientific findings have revealed an interesting potential new cure for the common cold: silver. Recent tests on the novirus by scientists have many speculating silver could also be effective against Influenza. Don't start ingesting silver paint just yet though!
According to a report from Montreal Gazette, Professor Willy Verstraete, a microbiologist from University of Ghent, Belgium, recently presented the findings at a London meeting last week. Tests showed that the bacteria with silver in it was able to effectively stop infections caused by novirus, which leads to winter vomiting outbreaks. Professor Verstraete believes that silver-impregnated bacteria could be put into nasal spray form and help combat viruses like Influenza which is responsible for the common cold.
So what does this mean about the other health concern, that is putting silver into your body? According to the same article, too much silver ingested into one's body can cause damage to liver, kidneys and/or lungs. However in this situation, it is very small particles of silver attached to much larger bacteria. Due to this method, the silver would not pass into other parts of the body.
If it's true, Kim Kardashian, who has recently appeared on W Magazine wearing nothing but silver paint, should never catch a cold. All kidding aside, while this may sound like a great discovery, as with most brand new scientific finds, it will need to be tested, tested again, and of course approved for public consumption. The government may even prefer there isn't a solution so easy, because it cuts down on consumption of Kleenez, medicines, vitamins and other remedies. However, it's still exciting news that we may be able to one day cut down on the amount of coughing, sneezing and vomiting that comes along with the common cold.
Would you consider using this new cure for the common cold, aka the "silver bullet" in a nasal spray if it would prevent influenza?
