With all the talk about gold and other precious metals rising in value, one topic that has resurfaced lately is the possible health benefit of silver. Since the beginning of medical thought and theory silver has been used to treat illness. Paracelsus, a fifteenth-century alchemist, wrote about the healing power of silver in his famous medical tracts. Hippocrates also thought that silver could prevent disease. This is why ancient people drink water out of silver-lined vessels. It also kept the water tasting fresh.
Not that there are many ancient Greek writings on how fresh the water tasted out of silver-lined vessels. In more modern times silver has been used to fight off bacteria. Pioneers in the American West put silver coins into their drinking vessels to keep their water tasting pure. They’d also put a silver coin into milk to keep it fresh when they couldn’t keep it cold. Also, flatware was (and is, if you can afford it) made out of silver. It was common belief that silver prevented disease.
Silver does have antibiotic properties. In one experiment, a scientist set out to prove this point. He injected some silver colloids (which are compounds of silver suspended in water or some other liquid) into a culture of a type of E.coli bacteria. The silver killed all of the E.coli in just six minutes. That is fairly compelling evidence that there is some truth to the idea that silver can protect us from disease.
To what end? Prior to the wide release of antibiotic treatment, silver was used to treat infection. Antibiotics came along, and doctors stopped prescribing silver-based treatments. In the late nineties there was a resurgence of advertising via the internet; claiming that colloidal silver was some kind of panacea – that it could cure everything from malaria to leprosy and everything in between. In early 2003, Wired.com reported that there was a rise in the occurrence of argyria – a condition brought on by ingesting too much silver. The silver actually collects in the skin and turns it gray, blue, or purple. The condition is permanent.
Because of this, and the unfortnuate truth that injesting too much silver can make you very sick, the FDA prohibits producers of colloidal silver from claiming their product has any health benefit, though they can call their product a “health supplement”.Stan Jones swears by using silver supplements. A one-time sentate candidate, Jones was afraid that the year 2000 would see germ warfare, so he manufactured his own silver supplement and injested it. Sure, he’s sort of gray, but he claims that his health has been better because of his silver consumption.
Rosemary Jacobs has argyria and she is vocal about her opposition to the use of colloidal silver as an ingestable. She used some eye drops containing silver back in the fifties and her skin has been gray ever since. She saw the advertising that starting hitting TVs and computers at Y2K and decided to speak out. She has done extensive research regarding the risks associated with these “health supplements” and started her own website to tell her story.
Perhaps it is best to be a little cautious when ingesting something that contains silver, unless you fancy being gray, blue, or purple forever, but Jones swears that he just took too much, that despite his unconventional hue that he would resume treatment in a heartbeat, if he was diagnosed with any sort of disease. Except argyria, of course.

Here are simple suggestions on how to make money online:
- If you’re not familiar with search-engine marketing, it’s necessary to get a grasp of how it works. You use search engines to get surfers to visit your website. 80 to 95 percent of your websites surfers will come from search-engines, unless you’ve got a ‘viral’ product of your own, or a ‘buzzing’ forum or blog.
– Making a website is fairly easy, that’s only half the work involved. It’s also important to drive surfers and learn how to sell your site. The problem with working online is that 99 per-cent of these cash-making programmes offered are a waste of time and (your) cash.
– The difficult part of online marketing is staying with the enterprise until it begins to make a net profit. You find tips spammed all over the Web, but how much of it can you believe in? Web scams exist in their thousands, each one designed to attract newbies with the promise of quick and easy money.
– Toddle over to Clickbank.com to find the most recent products. Seek out a product that’s popular, but make sure it’s one you know something about. Possible buyers look down on vendors that know little about the product they’re selling, which makes them less likely to buy it.
– Affiliate programmes are a very useful source of cash-flow. Most online promotion strategists make the error of not building up their client base enough to truly sell their product. Affiliate programmes can build your prospect base quickly.
– You can try reciprocal linking. This is a pact between site owners to link with each others’ sites. It’s a good way get a site off the ground, but you need one-way links to get search-engine ‘love’. It’s an excellent idea to link to websites that sell compatible but not competing products.
– SEO (search-engine optimisation) is the means by which you push your site up Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). At least 80 percent of all web traffic now starts at a search-engine. You can engage an SEO expert, but choose carefully; an inexpert one can destroy your rankings and get your website banned. Always read reviews on well-known webmaster forums. A professional internet marketing firm will work very closely with your server logs, web analytics, and any additional statistics they can get hold of. This helps the creation and optimisation of any advertising campaign.
– The greater number of visitors you get the greater the possibility of more money. Insert content-rich pages on each one of your websites and include keywords that will climb to the top of search-engine results and build traffic. Plan in advance, don’t just work on an ad-hoc basis.
– Buy a domain name that’s very similar to to the affiliate marketing goods you’re attempting to promote. Do not, however, infringe on the copyright of a brand name. That may annoy the brand owner.
– Blogs are useful for hyping-up interest, but don’t think you can get one famous in a few days. As an entry into marketing, they are relatively quick and easy to set up. Research web-based tutorials and related discussion boards. Or you can pay someone else to create the blog for you. At the moment a web hosting account with Cpanel and Fantastico installed will let you to install a basic blog at the press of a button.
I hope these few handy tips will help you in your online marketing efforts.
