Starving the bacteria for metal ions may be used as a tool in the fight against infections
Bacteria from the Staphylococcus aureus group are very common in the population. Many of them are involved in skin infections, lung infections, urinary tract infections, intestinal infections and more. In recent years, there has been an increase in the appearance of violent strains that are resistant to treatments with conventional antibiotics. They are a serious problem, especially in hospitals, where they can cause infections in people after surgery and in those whose immune systems are weak. These bacteria kill more people every year in the US than the AIDS virus.
In response to the invasion of the bacteria, abscesses (abscesses) are formed in the body by mechanisms of the immune system, which limit their penetration into nearby tissues and the spread of the infection. In an article recently published in the journal Science, a group of researchers led by Dr. Brain Corbin and Dr. Eric Skaar examined abscesses that formed in mice following infection with staphylococcus bacteria. The researchers used an advanced method of mass spectrometry (imaging mass spectrometry (IMS)) to identify proteins in the abscess. They found that the protein calprotectin is very common and unique to the areas of the abscesses that were formed following the infection with bacteria. The researchers discovered that the cells of the immune system (neutrophils), which are in the first line of defense in the encounter With the invading bacteria, calprotectin is released into their environment. This protein binds metal ions, including manganese (Mn2+) and zinc (Zn2+) ions that are essential for the bacteria, thus inhibiting its growth.
The calprotectin protein is very common in the cytoplasm of the neutrophil cells, and it is released into the area of the bacteria from those neutrophils that have died and broken down following exposure to the toxins that the bacteria release. The antimicrobial activity of calprotectin is made possible by binding the Mn2+ ions, and creating an environment low in metal ions, which does not allow the bacterial culture. As Dr. Scar puts it in a humorous tone - the neutrophils get the last laugh...
This discovery can serve as a basis for the development of new methods to treat infections caused by staphylococci. This is by using drugs that bind metals and independent of conventional antibiotics. However, much research is still needed to understand the consequences of this type of treatment on patients.

Hi does anyone know what metal is made of
to Muti
Do you mean the studies done at the University Hospital in Ghana, West Africa? I don't think this can be considered real research. They only tried the silver water on 60 patients. Although most of them were out of danger in less than a week, they were not followed up long enough to determine a complete recovery.
More studies are needed to determine the correctness of the claim
My money can eliminate viruses.
I have no doubt about the effectiveness in bacteria.
But I think it is irresponsible to determine that silver water is effective against AIDS just based on an experiment as above.
Sincerely

Moti:
I wonder why they are still looking for a cure for AIDS
Moti,
I am not aware of such a study, and frankly the description you give here does not make sense. If silver water kills bacteria anyway, then the viruses simply don't have bacteria to attack, or they die inside the bacteria. But what does it matter? After all, viruses that attack bacteria are not harmful to human cells.
If the silver water damages human cells, then it also damages viruses - but much less damage than the human cells we want to protect. In fact, they do their job for the viruses, killing the human cells.
If you have a link to a study done in silver water on AIDS patients, I would be happy to read it and wait.
According to Roy, silver does not affect viruses in the spore state, but they definitely eliminate them in the outbreak process where they need their metabolic system or the bacteria that are used by them for this purpose. I recently read about a study done with silver water in AIDS patients. In the pregnancy situation... there was no reaction. But at the moment when an outbreak occurred, a perfect recovery was achieved in about 5 days.
Lots of health,
Moti
Hello Aliza,
I'm just now working on an article about money water. According to the information I have checked so far, silver water does kill bacteria, but does not affect viruses (and of course not cancer cells either, as some silver water distributors advertise).
Beyond that, silver water can harm the body, and various cases have been documented in the medical literature. In one of the cases, the patient entered the floor until he died, as a result of drinking silver water for only four months. In the autopsy of the brain tissue, large amounts of silver were discovered. Also in the subcutaneous injection of silver water into young mice for four weeks, a decrease in the size of cells in the area of the brain called the hippocampus was obtained.
In short, it is recommended not to use silver water.
Good Day,
Roy.
Bar Ilan has a researcher working on the effect of iron ions
On the creation of biofilms by the bacteria (Dr. Rahud Benin). It turns out that bacteria, which are sensitive to antibiotics, can create a structure called a micelle and they wrap themselves in an impenetrable shell. This is how they become very resistant to antibiotics and disinfectants. This is a problem mainly with medical accessories in hospitals, but it also happens inside the body. It turns out that the bacteria need free iron ions (which hardly exist in the body, they are always attached to proteins) in order to create the micelles, and this is an opening to attack them where antibiotics fail

This is reminiscent of the use of silver water to eliminate bacteria, a process that affects the metabolism of single cells. I wonder if you have any information on the exact mode of action of silver water regarding single cells and viruses.
