How does Microsil Nano-Silver Hydrosol Gel Kill MRSA?
Because all living organisms need a supply of energy to live, blocking that energy supply quickly kills bacteria and reduces viruses to an inert state. In a number of reported laboratory tests, the bacteria were killed within minutes of exposure to the Microsil silver solutions.
All atoms absorb and radiate energy. The silver atoms in Microsil radiate energy in very sharply-defined and narrow wavelengths. Experiments have shown that these wavelengths cause free radical formation in pathogens and cause damage to the DNA of those pathogens while rendering them incapable of recovery. This energy effect from Microsil means the silver does not need to come into contact with the pathogens to kill them.
It is significant that the silver does not target a specific mechanism that only a few bacteria use to support themselves. Because it involves a far more general mechanism, it is effective against a much wider range of bacteria and viruses. An article in Science Digest (March 1978, p.57) states: “An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650 and resistant strains fail to develop.”
This may be one of the most significant features of Microsil. Silver is a broad spectrum bactericide. Over the past several decades the use of antibiotics has given rise to bacteria that are immune to those antibiotics. Bacteria and viruses multiply thousands of times faster than larger organisms. (Bacteria can reproduce every 20 minutes, 20,000 times as fast as humans). For this reason, they generate more mutations. If a colony of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic that kills nearly all of the bacteria, but fails to kill just a few of the mutants, it will be the surviving mutants that multiply and pass on their immunity to new colonies of that bacterium.
Drug resistant genes occur in plasmids, circular bits of DNA that are not attached to bacterial chromosomes. Because plasmids “float,” they can more readily be passed from one bacterium to another. In this manner bacteria can exchange their resistance to drugs. Even harmless bacteria can pass on their drug resistance to dangerous microbes.
