SIlveR has always played second fiddle to gold over the centuries. The lustrous yellow metal has always been valued more than a grey burnish element.

However, in this age of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, silver may finally get its day in the sun. Apart from making fancy jewellery and cutlery, humans throughout history have figured out that silver has good preservati­ve and healing abilities. It has been used by: > Ancient egyptians in medical treatments to cure and prevent various diseases.

> Ancient Greeks and Romans to keep liquids like milk from spoiling.

> Medieval europeans and American civil war soldiers to treat battle wounds.

> Physicians in the early 1900s as an orally taken antibiotic.

During the Middle Ages, wealthy european families gave their children silver spoons to suck on to ward off infections, hence giving rise to the idiom “born with a silver spoon”.

Though they did not know it then, silver is a powerful anti-microbial agent. It works by weakening the cell walls of bacteria and viruses, and disrupting its energy production at a cellular level. This allows it to kill more than 650 types of microbes without side effects or mutations.

In old european mythology to modernday Hollywood horror flicks, vampires and werewolves are killed by weapons containing silver because silver (supposedly) acts against the virus causing vampirism and lycanthrop­y. There may be some truth to this after all.

This proprietar­y formulatio­n is called AG+ RapidHeal Factor, and TruCare has incor- porated it into a line of premium personal care products, including toothpaste­s, soaps, creams.
