MWC-5 X-Static Silver Uses and Benefits

Absract: The use of silver for its medical and therapeutic benefits dates back thousands of years.  In fact, the Romans were the first to publish and document the "magical Healing" owners of silver when used to cover wounds.  Roman intuition proved to be correct.  Modern Western medicine recognizes silver as the most effective ant-microbial agent, natural or otherwise. This presentation will discuss the relevance of the use of silver in the Orthotic, Prosthetic and Pedorthic field, and we will go over how to use, promote and show a profit using silver.
