BACTERIA TESTING
American
Silver’s Antibacterial Product (ASAP
Solution)
Testing Results Summary
The following
results suggest that American Silver’s ASAP
solution is a broad spectrum antimicrobial
agent–it is able to effectively stop the
growth of, and in fact kill, a variety of
bacteria.
American
Silver’s ASAP Silver Supplement has been
tested against the following organisms.
Staphylococcus aureus
(Pneumonia, eye infections, skin
infections (boils, impetigo, cellulitis, and
post-operative wound infections), toxic
shock syndrome, meningitis, food poisoning,
osteomyelitis, and many others) inhibited @
2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU
Report.
Shigella boydii
(Bacillary
dysentery–characterized by severe cramping
abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea)
inhibited @ 1.25 ppm and killed @ 2.5 ppm.
1/22/99 BYU Report.
Salmonella arizona
(Food poisoning, etc.) inhibited @ 2.5 ppm
and killed @ 5 ppm. 1/28/99 BYU Report.
Salmonella typhimurium
(Food poisoning and enteric
fever) inhibited and killed at a
concentration of 2.5 ppm. 6/7/99 BYU Report.
E. coli
(Food poisoning, urinary tract infections,
traveler’s diarrhea, diarrhea in infants,
respiratory tract infections, and wound
infections) inhibited and killed @ 2.5 ppm.
1/22/99 BYU Report.
Haemophilus influenzae
(Otitis media (ear infection),
pneumonia, meningitis, throat and sinus
infections (including epiglottitis in
children and sinusitis), and suppurative
arthritis in children) inhibited and killed
@ 1.25 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.
Enterobacter aerogenes
(Wound infections, urinary
tract infections, bacteremia, and
meningitis) inhibited and killed at a
concentration of 2.5 ppm. 6/7/99 BYU Report.
Enterobacter cloacae
(Causes ilnesses similar to the
E. aerogenes) inhibited and killed at a
concentration of 5 ppm. 6/7/99 BYU Report.
Klebsiella pneumoniae
(Lower respiratory tract infections,
nosocomial infections (infections spread in
hospitals), urinary tract and wound
infections, and bacteremia) inhibited and
killed @ 2.5 ppm. 1/28/99 BYU Report.
Klebsiella oxytoca
(Similar to those infections
caused by K. pneumoniae) inhibited and
killed at a concentration of 2.5 ppm. 6/7/99
BYU Report.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Severe burn and wound
infections, keratitis, pneumonia,
meningitis, nosocomial infections, urinary
tract infections, etc.) inhibited @ 2.5 ppm
and killed @ 5 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.
Streptococcus
pneumoniae
(Pneumonia, meningitis,
sinusitis, otitis media (ear infection)
inhibited @ 2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm.
4/21/99 BYU Report.
Streptococcus pyogenes
(Skin infections, upper
respiratory infections (i.e. strep throat)
impetigo, hospital-acquired infections,
scarlet fever, etc.) inhibited and killed @
1.25 ppm. 1/22/99 BYU Report.
Streptococcus faecalis
(Urinary tract infections,
endocarditis, wound infections, etc.)
inhibited @ 2.5 ppm and killed @ 5 ppm.
1/22/99 BYU Report.
Streptococcus mutans
(A major cause dental plaque and tooth decay
etc.) inhibited and killed @ 5 ppm. 2/3/99
BYU Report.
Streptococcus gordonii
(Tooth decay, also implicated in
infective endocarditis-an infection of the
heart valves) inhibited and killed @ 5 ppm.
BYU Report 2/12/99.
Thousands of tests have been completed
measuring the ASAP Solution's® ability to kill
problematic bacteria at less than 10 ppm. The
independent tests have proven the ASAP
Solution® very effective at killing bacteria
and yeasts, including the following:
60
different strains of Staphylococcus aureus
(Pneumonia, eye infections, skin infections
boils, impetigo, cellulitis, and
post-operative wound infections, toxic shock
syndrome, meningitis, food poisoning,
osteomyelitis, and many others); E. coli B.
(food poisoning); Shigella boydii (violent
food poisoning); Salmonella arizona (food
poisoning); Salmonella typhimurium (food
poisoning, enteric fever); 60 different
strains of Salmonella choleraesuis (food
posioning); Haemophiles influenzas (flu, ear
infections); Klebsiella pneumoniae (pneumonia,
meningitis, nosocomial infections--infections
spread in hospitals); Klebsiella Oxytoca; 60
different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(diphtheria-like illnesses, burn and cut
infections, meningitis, pneumonia, etc.);
Streptococcus pneumonia (pneumonia,
meningitis, sinusitis, otitis media-ear
infections); Streptococcus pyogenes (strep
throat infections, skin infections, etc.);
Streptococcus faecalis (urinary tract
infections and endocarditis); Streptococcus
mutans (a major cause of tooth decay);
Streptococcus gordonii (tooth decay, also
implicated in infective endocarditis-an
infection of the heart valves); Enterobacter
aerogenes (wound infections, urinary tract
infections, bacteremia, and meningitis);
Enterobacter cloacae (wound infections,
urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and
meningitis); Tuberculosis type B (tuberculosis
is the number one human-killing bacteria world
wide); S. cerevisiae var Yeast; Montrachet
Yeast.
The ASAP Solution® has been able to kill every
harmful bacteria that it has been tested
against so far, at concentrations of 10 ppm or
less.
