Medical Benefits of Silver • Researchers at Boston University studied the benefits of antibiotics and silver. • They recently discovered it’s possible to increase the antibiotics ability by a substantial amount. • By mixing silver and antibiotics, they created a way to kill bacteria that is 1,000 times more effective than antibiotics alone. • People argue that silver has potentially toxic side effects, but scientist disagree, saying small non-toxic amounts make the antibiotics thrive. • This discovery is taking care of some medical problems faced by the economy. • It relates to my personal agenda because I would like to make pharmaceuticals and this shows how much the industry can improve. http://listverse.com/2013/07/12/10-recent- scientific-advances-that-signal-the-future/
