SILVER KILLS VIRUSES, STUDY FINDS
The New Silver Solution® consists of very tiny (about 10 nanometers long) particles of pure elemental silver suspended in a solution of very pure water, sold in bottles with concentrations of 14 parts of silver for every million parts of water (14 ppm). Even when it was tested at 200 times the normal adult dosage, the NEW Silver Solution® was found to be completely non-toxic - unlike many antibiotics and other silver products.

In a groundbreaking study, the Journal of Nanotechnology has published a study that found silver nanoparticles kills HIV-1 and is likely to kill virtually any other virus. The study, which was conducted by the University of Texas and Mexico University, is the first medical study to ever explore the benefits of silver nanoparticles, according to Physorg.
After incubating the HIV-1 virus at 37 C, the silver particles killed 100% of the virus within 3 hours for all three methods.
While further research is needed, researchers are optimistic that nanological silver may be the silver bullet to kill viruses.
AVIAN FLU VIRUS SPREADING FEAR
November 8, 2005 - USA TODAY - BY NOELLE KNOX
The three-day conference at the World Health Organization in Geneva opened with alarming statistics: The lethal strain of avian influenza is now in 15 countries; it has been discovered in five since July; 150 million birds have died or been culled; 124 people have been infected, and 63 of them died, and poultry losses have topped more than $10 billion. The fear is that the virus, H5N1, could mutate into a form that could spread easily from person to person.
"It is only a matter of time before an avian flu virus, most likely H5N1, acquires the ability to be transmitted from human to human, sparking the outbreak of a human pandemic influenza," said Lee Jong-Wook, director general of World Health Organization.
