Could Silver Be The Answer For Your Candida Symptoms?

While doing research to try and find ways to ease candida symptoms I came across some very interesting facts. It involves silver! Colloidal silver to be exact.

The website I found out this information was All-Natural.com

They said...

"Colloidal silver appears to be a powerful, natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. Acting as a catalyst, it reportedly disables the enzyme that one-celled bacteria, viruses and fungi need for their oxygen metabolism. They suffocate without corresponding harm occurring to human enzymes or parts of the human body chemistry. The result is the destruction of disease-causing organisms in the body and in the food."

This part caught my attention...

"We have all heard of the "super-germs" that are resistant to most modern antibiotics. Some believe that single-celled germs cannot mutate into silver-resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Therefore no tolerance to colloidal silver would develop through mutation. Also, colloidal silver has not been demonstrated to interact or interfere with other medicines being taken. Inside the body, silver apparently does not form toxic compounds or react with anything other than a germ's oxygen-metabolizing enzyme. Colloidal silver may truly be a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind's ills."

With further research on the internet, at other different sites, what I found out was that the colloidal silver can provide a three-fold attack on the problems of candida.

First, the colloidal silver kills off anaerobic bacteria and viruses wherever it comes in contact with them. Therefore, the colloidal silver virtually provides a secondary immune system against all types of disease and infections, while treating the candida. Thus much of the problems of candida symptoms are treated immediately, before the candida can be cleaned out of the system.

Second, colloidal silver is unusually effective in treating the candida yeast infection itself.

And third, colloidal silver has a strange and dynamic way of healing injured and damaged tissues fast. Since yeast infections of all kinds usually attack and consume the living tissue, a healing process is badly needed, and colloidal silver supposedly has a very unique way of healing these tissues fast.

The recommended dosage at All-Natural.com to find relief from candida symptoms and other problems is ...

"1 - 4 teaspoons per day (25 - 100 mcg.) is generally considered to be a "nutritional amount" and is reported to be safe to use for extended periods of time. Amounts higher than this are generally considered "therapeutic amounts" and should only be used periodically."

They have one cautionary warning though...

"If your body is extremely ill or toxic, do not be in a hurry to clear up everything at once. If pathogens are killed off too quickly, the body's five eliminatory channels (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs and bowel) may be temporarily overloaded, causing flu-like conditions, headache, extreme fatigue, dizziness, nausea or aching muscles. Ease off on the colloidal silver to a smaller amount and increase your distilled water intake. Regular bowel movements are a must in order to relieve the discomforts of detoxification. Resolve to reduce sugar and saturated fats from the diet, and exercise more. Given the opportunity, the body's natural ability to heal may amaze you."

Below is a list of diseases that colloidal silver is supposed to successfully treat, in which candida and yeast infections are both mentioned...This is a partial list, as there are over 650 in all...

Acne- Aids - allergies - appendicitis - arthritis - athletes foot - bladder infection - blood parasites - blood poisoning- boils - burns - cancer - candida - chronic fatigue - colitis - conjunctivitis - cystitis - dandruff- dermatitis - diabetes - diphtheria - eczema - gastro-enteritis - gonorrhoea - hayfever- hepatitis - herpes - impetigo - indigestion - keratitus - leprosy - leukaemia - malaria - meningitis - neurasthenia - parasitic infection - pneumonia - prostate infection - pruritis ani - psoriasis - rheumatics - rhinitis - ring worm - scarlet fever - septic conditions - seborreah septicaemia - shingles - staph and streptococcal - ulcers - viruses - warts - yeast infections etc.."

Apparently users continually report that colloidal silver will cure athlete's foot, vaginal yeast infections, as well as candida infections of the skin very quickly and then heals the damaged tissues. However, these are often signs of an inner infection. Until the yeast infection within the body is cured, external infections keep on returning. You need to find the root cause of your candida symptoms. That is no reason not to treat these conditions. But if they return, it is time to look to the source of the problems as being inward. One can, of course, find explanations for the sources of the reinfection. However, a healthy body seldom succumbs to these infections.

It seems that colloidal silver when used internally and locally is the most effective treatment available today for all of these conditions.

Whilst researching I came across a few interesting facts on the history of silver (nothing to do with candida, but interesting none the less! Enjoy!)...

Silver was used in Biblical times (Daniel) by the king of Persia who kept water stored safely in silver jars for long campaigns abroad. Similarly Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans stored water and fresh foods in silver containers to keep them from spoiling. Silver was a privilege of upper society. In the Middle Ages several devastating bubonic plagues wiped out whole villages and decimated Europe. But the aristocracy - dining with silverware and silver goblets - largely escaped the plagues unscathed. They were also widely known as the blue-bloods due to argyria from use of impure silver compounds from more primitive silver-smithing of that era. Even from Roman times, the wealthy would put a silver spoon in children's mouths to ward off disease - hence the phrase "he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth". In early America, pioneers would put a silver dollar in milk to delay spoilage. In India even today you are often served food wrapped in silver foil both of which are eaten! Edible silver foil is a garnish available from Indian stores worldwide.
