SilverSol™ Technology

The company utilizes SilverSol nano-catalytic technology in their products. Silver sol is simply silver particles dispersed in purified water. The term “Sol” is a chemical designation of a pure mineral permanently suspended in water where the mineral’s charge is transferred to the entire body of water. The technology is also known as Silver Hydrosols.[11]

On December 2010 they have also been issued patent 7,850,759 for "Metal Extraction from Various Chalcogenide Minerals Through Interaction with Separate Electric Fields and Magnetic Fields Supplied by Electromagnetic Energy". Patent 20100316685 for "Dental Uses of Silver Hydrosol" is still pending approval.[18]

Dentistry

Silversol technology is being used in dentistry for various purposes. In a protocol called VERASIL it is being used for new connective tissue reattachment procedure using an Erbium Laser, new restorative protocols, endodontic protocols, bone grafting protocols, dental implant as well as non-surgical periodontal protocols.[19] It has been approved by EPA for both initial cleaning and maintenance of dental waterlines.[20]The approved product has been found to be effective against biofilms. The CRA Foundation, a leading independent dental testing lab, has also chosen the product as a top dental waterline product based on effectiveness-cost criteria.[21]
