Why Would You Need a First Aid Kit?
• There are many health concerns
that could and should be handled
at home. The sooner there is
intervention, the sooner the healing
begins. It is important to have
natural products on hand that can
immediately be used when a
person feels "out of sorts".
Developing a Natural Medicine
Cabinet and First Aid Kit
• Provides peace of mind knowing
that you have basic remedies on
hand
• Gives you the opportunity to
practice using herbs in a nonemergency situation, and build your
confidence in both yourself and
these natural products – and caring
for common complaints at home

Your Second Line of Defense
The Silver Solution
We Are More Vulnerable To
Infection Than We Think
Silver Shield
• Anti-microbial "Second
Immune System"
• The very minute ionized particles
of silver, suspended in pure
water inhibit the function and
metabolism of bacteria, fungi,
protozoa and viruses. It works
quickly on contact.
Silver – How does it work?
• Silver reacts with bacterial cell wall
inhibiting oxygen & energy transfer
into the cell, which results in
suffocation. Thus, unlike synthetic
antibiotics that are disease-specific,
Silver Shield is cell-structure
specific—any single cell organism is
subject to silver.
What Can Silver Shield Do?
•
•
•
•
Kill Bacteria
Inhibit Viruses
Kill Fungus & Mold
Improve Wound
Healing
• Disinfect
A New Supercharged Silver
• Common ionic silver particles = - 1
electron
This gives the silver particle the ability
to bind itself with and eliminate one
electron of a targeted pathogen
• Silver Aquasol Technology = - 2
electrons
This gives the silver particle the ability
to bind itself with and destroy electrons of
targeted pathogens multiple times
Excellent for Ear Infections
• Put several
drops in the ear
and let the
solution sit for 15
minutes
Excellent for Strep Throat
• To kill the surface
bacteria associated
with Streptococcus A
& B, the silver
solution must remain
in contact with the
bacteria for an
extended period of
time – 8 to 12
minutes
