I found this on MEDLINE. It looks like there is good money to be saved by insurance companies by using silver. When they catch on I bet that silver will become their little darling cash cow.

Just think of all the doctors, hospitals, insurance companies that would be out of work if we all got well and stayed well by using preventive care. WOW!
