Silver Textile Fibre

Visible Silver Protection - Working for a Life Free of Pain
Precious Life + Precious Metal

Clothing incorporating natural pure silver fibre has during the past decade advanced substantially using both new and sophisticated high technology. These developments have lead to a new and varied range of everyday use of silver clothing products which offer high quality and many medical benefits. A washable, recyclable silver fibre garment is also very appealing to both patients and healthcare professionals

Today
Silver is being used for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties in healthcare products ranging from finger plasters and bandages to burn care treatments to catheters—almost any product where infection controls are critical. Electron release of the silver on an intra-cellular level disrupts the DNA of micro-organisms effectively suffocating microbial activity.

The majority of Americans are first exposed to silver at birth, when silver nitrate eye drops are used to prevent infection. Silver is also widely used for many industrial applications, most notably in drinking water filters and swimming pool filtration systems.

Reflectivity
Silver has an Infrared (IR) Reflectivity rating of greater than 95%, the highest of any other element.

This means that 95% of the radiative energy that contacts the silver fibre will be reflected back to its source. As a result clothing products containing silver fibre minimizes radiative heat loss by actively reflecting the body’s energy back to the skin.

Emissivity
Silver fibre has one of the lowest emissivity ratings of any element, which means that it radiates thermal energy very slowly. Silver will remain warm for a very long period of time (as opposed to other elements, which would remain hot for a very short period of time). With any apparel designed for cold weather and containing silver fibre any heat not reflected back to the body by the silver would be absorbed and stored.

Thermal Conductivity
Silver is the most thermally conductive element on the planet. Silver fibre therefore, works to quickly and evenly distribute and transfer heat throughout a product. Silver fibre is temperature adjusting and will maintain to a core of 37°.

Magnetism
Because the Silver fibre is so highly conductive it is able to take the electrical pulses of the human body nerve ends and convert this to create a passive magnetic field.

In our sock example the passive magnetic field is around the leg which then pumps and activates the leg muscles increasing the blood circulation. This effect produced by the natural silver fibre increases the circulation and this would also lead to a decrease of swelling in the leg and ankle (oedema) therefore thrombosis and cramped veins can also help to be prevented.

This would also have therapeutic and medical benefits for preventing and avoiding the notorious economy travel syndrome “Deep Vein Thrombosis” (DVT) when sitting or standing for long periods. The same principles would apply to long periods of sitting or standing in everyday occupation and lifestyle.

The Science of How Magnetic Fields Affect the Body.
Magnetism affects the human body through the circulatory system, the nervous system and the endocrine system. It is constantly penetrating all particles right down to the atom. Magnetisms effect on living systems arises from the fact that magnetism is a blue print of life. Recent research indicated that magnetism has a very significant biological effect on the human body. The following is a list of process that is believed to take place when the body is exposed to magnetic fields which contribute to pain relief and improved health.

• Magnetism increases the electrical conductivity of the blood. Weak current runs through the magnetic field and the quantity of ions is increased – the ionized blood circulation throughout the body improves the efficiency of blood flow, as well as stabilizing blood pressure.
• Blood contains iron or ferrous haemoglobin which is a carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide. As blood circulates through the lungs, fully magnetized ferrous haemoglobin is able to carry more oxygen to cell tissue as well as take more carbon dioxide waste from cells back to the lungs for removal.
• When tissue is exposed to a magnetic field, a secondary current is created around the flux lines in the cells. This ionizes the protoplasm and energises the cell tissue by activating cell metabolism. Cell functions are strengthened as the cell metabolism responds to the electrical currents initiated by the magnetic field. This current can cause muscle spasms to decrease as well as decreasing the inflammation of tissue. The increase in the cell metabolism aids both new cell growth and cell regeneration.
• The negative pole of energy of a magnetic field interferes with the ability of nerve cells to transmit impulses to the brain where pain is registered. When a negative magnetic field is placed over a nerve the positively charged ions of the nerve impulse are attracted to the negative magnetic field thereby impeding the flow of the positively charged ions through the nerves to the brain.
• Magnetism may work to regulate and / or normalize hormone secretion in the glands. A theory is that the increased electrical current being produced by the magnet filed forms a net around the glands and secretory ducts. Increased concentration of oxygen stimulates production while the “net” optimizes secretion. Normalizing the hormone functions within the body affects conditions caused by a hormone imbalance. Hormones are an important factor in rejuvenation and overall energy levels, while proper circulation ensures that hormone levels are distributed evenly through out the body.

Summary and Comment

• It is a scientifically proven fact that the nerve ends send electrical charges.
• Also scientifically proven is that an electrical current improves the circulation.
• Passive Magnetism is also viewed as similar to acupuncture it works but there is yet “no real scientific proof”.
• Prove that there is an electrical current when worn and how strong and then from there it should be possible to predict the effect on the circulation.
