Mark Farinha, a professor of microbiology at the University of North Texas, demonstrated the incredible antibacterial properties of colloidal silver. Dr. Farinha cultured 10 billion organisms of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA.) These organisms cause bacterial pneumonia and in many cases are incredibly difficult to treat. Dr. Farinha added 30 parts per million (PPM) colloidal silver to one sample of MRSA and 15 PPM to another. Within 4 minutes the 10 billion MRSA exposed to 15 PPM colloidal silver was reduced to just 50 live bacteria. In the sample exposed to 30 PPM colloidal silver the number of live bacteria after just two minutes was reduced to just .6%. Coldpressed Michael Clark soaps each contain 1 ounce of 20 PPM colloidal silver water. People with dry or damaged skin assume they must follow hand washing with lotion and cream. These products can help soothe irritated skin, but they don’t usually resolve the problem; in some cases hand creams contain ingredients which ultimately contribute to skin dryness. According to Michael Clark, switching to natural soaps can greatly improve the condition of the dry and damaged skin. The combination of ultra-pure base ingredients, along with the healing benefits of the emu oil and colloidal silver in Clark’s soaps can actually promote skin healing. “We have seen tremendous results involving eczema,” says Clark, “after just one day of use there is a marked improvement.” Considering the number of times that hands are washed each day, individuals with skin problems can benefit from choosing a natural, gentle soap which allows the skin to maintain it’s natural moisture balance without the use of lotions and creams.
