Samsung releases anti-virus phone. By Tony Dennis: Kills germs not code. "In any normal context, you'd think a mobile phone honoured for its anti-virus properties would offer protection from malicious code. Well, the SCH-869 is applauded for its anti-bacterial paint. The handset uses a paint with colloidal silver (ie sub-microscopic) properties. In essence it attacks the enzymes of any single celled organism. Which means bacteria, fungi and viruses. Samsung claims that ordinary phones allow microbes to multipy - some as many as 46 times in a day. The specially coated SCH-869 kills 99.9 per cent of them. The company claims the paint is not only safe for humans, it is also safe for the environment."

Our Mightiest Germ Fighter by Jim Powell. Science Digest - March 1978. Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic. Says a pioneering silver researcher, Dr Harry Margraf of St Louis: "Silver is the best all around germ-fighter we have." Developed by Dr. Charles Fox of Columbia University, a silver compound known as silver sulfadiazine is used in 70 percent of burn centers in the U.S. It also stops the herpes virus responsible for cold sores and fever blisters. With silver sulfadiazine, Dr Fox scored what properly is acclaimed as a momentous breakthrough, for it was the first new silver compound to win FDA approval and become generally available. A pharmaceutical house, Marion Laboratories, is offering it as an ointment, under the brand name of Silvadene; other companies are making silver sulfadiazine available in several countries from Canada to India.
