MRSA – Methacillin Resistant Stephycococcus Aureus

Independent laboratory results show that the Biophysica Colloidal Silver (BP) particle size is no more than 8 nanometres and furthermore is demonstrated to be active against Methacillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)  within 8 minutes.  In this experiment, the efficacy of…

Legionella

Legionella is best prevented by using our copper/silver ionization system.    Legionnaires’ disease is a type of pneumonia that is caused by Legionella, a bacterium found primarily in warm water environments. Both the disease and the bacterium were discovered following an outbreak…

Iron Bacteria

Iron bacteria are a bacterium that actually eats or ingests iron. They are a large diverse group of bacteria that have a significant effect on water treatment and distribution systems.  Iron bacteria derive their energy (to grow) from oxidation of the…

Herpes

Herpes Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) exists in two forms: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Either virus can infect the mouth or genitals but HSV–1 most commonly causes cold sores around the mouth and HSV–2 causes genital herpes.  To realize how common they are;…

Helicobacter

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the gut mucosa and can induce gastric ulcers. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Genetics, Akihiro Fujikawa and colleagues report how the H. pylori cytotoxin VacA causes ulcer formation (Nature Genetics, DOI:10.1038/ng1112, 24 February,…

Cryptosporidium

Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite that is found in the feces of infected humans or animals. Humans are infected when they ingest contaminated water or food, or touch contaminated objects, then touch their mouth before washing their hands well. Cryptosporidiosis, the…

Bacteria and Biofilm

Bacteria and Biofilm  Scientists work to block bacterial communication using silver solution.  Ending germs’ “chatter” is key to treating illness using electrically charged silver atoms.As researchers identify the signals bacteria use to build and maintain biofilms, their biotechnology colleagues are…

AIDS and HIV

Study Shows Silver Nanoparticles Attach to HIV-1 virus: “Silver nanoparticles can effectively attack other micro-organisms” , “prevented the virus from bonding to host cells” AIDS Treatment Studied: Silver Ion Delivery via Electrolysis Click here to make your own Colloidal…

Acinetobacter Baumannii

Multi-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.  A recent edition of the Health Protection Agency’s Communicable Diseases Report highlighted a potential risk for healthcare associated infection from an organism called Acinetobacter baumannii, which is resistant to many antibiotics, but may respond to Colloidal Silver and Colloidal Copper. Acinetobacters…
