It has been claimed that the aristocracy vastly outlived the peasantry during the Plague because they ate and drank from sterling cups and bowls. There may be some truth to this claim, although modern doctors are basically paid to deny that diseases can be treated by anything other than a battery of prescriptions. When one looks at the circumstances surrounding The Plague, it is clear that there may be some health benefits to ingesting colloidal silver.
History has often cited that the aristocracy lived in larger numbers due to better nutrition and cleanliness. The fact of the matter is that even the very wealthiest in society had to be wary of accusations of witchcraft. Housecats who would have killed the flea-ridden mice who spread this disease were killed on-sight, and bathing was regarded as sinful vanity and viewed with suspicion.
Their clothes were generally clean, but to bathe away the lice or eradicate fleas from their beds would have been looked upon with suspicion by the church. Having parasites constantly drawing your attention was believed to help prevent impure thoughts from entering the mind. Between the tolerance of fleas but intolerance of housecats, the superstitions of Christianity were directly responsible for the Plague.
It was tradition and a sort of vanity of lifestyle which allowed the aristocracy to continue eating and drinking from sterling. People from the Renaissance may have had some knowledge, now lost, telling them that this material promoted good health. However, the unwashed masses of Dark-Age Europe did not knowingly seek to protect their health in this way.
Wealthy people did die of the Plague in large numbers, but the percentage of wealthy to poor who survived was large. Not only was it the one-percenters of their time, but Nuns and monks also had the benefit of eating and drinking from silver, and they survived in larger percentages as well even though they were the ones who tended to the sick. With that much exposure, one must research what it was that they were doing different.
As many people lean towards more homeopathic solutions to their health problems, an interest has grown around the methods that people used in the past to maintain health. This has brought many to analyze the habits of people during the Plague, and question why some survived while others did not. Many homeopathic practitioners cite that this metal acts as an agent which aids the blood in fighting bacteria, viruses, and even fungus.
Limited research has been performed, and seems to back up this widely held theory. However, there are no universities willing to provide funding for this research, as it acts in opposition to the wishes of pharmaceutical companies who provide much of their funding. If the pharmaceutical giants are doing active research on this, it is being kept quiet.
Since it is known that this metal does have these qualities, one must wonder if a pharmaceutical company is working out a way to synthesize it. Modern medicine is made up of nearly all synthesized compounds, as it is more cost-effective for them to synthesize rather than harvest the true organics from nature. If silver can be synthesized in large enough quantities to create another magic pill, one must wonder if it opens a can of worms or puts Pandora back in her box.
