SWALLOWING SILVER GOOD FOR THE GUT?

SWALLOWING SILVER GOOD FOR THE GUT?

PROVO, Utah (Wireless Flash) -- Talk about a silver lining -- a Brigham Young University microbiologist claims swallowing pure silver can cure stomach poisoning. Professor Ron Leavitt says he's been running tests on a silver and water nutritional supplement called American Silver's Antibacterial Product (ASAP), and has found the stuff kills all sorts of bacteria -- including the dreaded "e. coli." Leavitt admits that he thought the silver concoction was "snake oil," but after testing the solution on 18 types of pathogenic bacterium, he discovered it killed each strain. The scientist insists he's not being paid by the manufacturer of the product, and admits he was totally shocked with the results of the tests.
