It is known that the gentry of society, also called the aristocracy, outlived the peasantry by a vast margin during the centuries of The Plague. Many people connect their culture, which included using sterling cups and bowls, and it does appear that there was some truth to this. With more research it may become very clear that there are health benefits to ingesting colloidal silver.
Common knowledge wants to point to better nutrition and personal hygiene as the reason for their survivability. However, the facts of history do not support that theory, especially when it came to bathing. Their nutrition was sometimes worse than the poor as they insisted on eating white bread rather than wheat or rye, and society at large frowned upon regular bathing during that era.
So while their clothing may have been more fine, the bodies of the upper class were just as ridden with lice, and the beds were just as full of fleas as any peasant. In fact, these parasitic insects were somehow regarded as good luck by most people. Let us not forget that these were the Dark Ages, so called because fundamentalist Christianity had led mankind into an age of ignorance and paranoia.
Early Renaissance-era people might have made the connection between using silver dinnerware and the maintenance of good health. Such things were probably written about, but these writings would have been the victim of fires lit by Christian soldiers at museums and libraries of old. The habit of eating and drinking from sterling most likely continued strictly out of habit.
While many of the wealthy households did perish from Plague, statistically speaking they had a much greater survival rate than those who lived in the parish villages. This is made even more pointedly when one realizes that the monks themselves often survived both victims of Plague as well as Leprosy. Monks and Nuns were most often exposed to victims of these two afflictions, as they provided the health as well as spiritual care to these poor souls.
In these modern times people want to understand the science behind this survival, and it repeatedly points to the presence of sterling in the diet of Dark Age people. If the findings are all true, it is most certainly the wonder-drug that has not yet been turned into a drug. It is possibly an antiviral, antibiotic, and antifungal all in one.
Only small snippets of research ever gets conducted on such homeopathic remedies, and then only through a small group with little to no funding available. Pharmaceutical companies do not wish to have such a universal remedy available to the populace, as it could make so many of their pills obsolete. If there is any serious research being conducted, it is certainly news.
One is given to ponder this metal and the well-established qualities attributed to it. The pharmaceutical industry is known for taking compounds out of nature and synthesizing them into a chemical with a consistent dose in pill form. If they have found a way to synthesize silver, then they have either placed Pandora back in a box, or they have opened a massive can of worms.
