Ok, I was doing some internet searching on reptile Candida yeast infections and I found this info on Colloidal Silver. Has anyone tried it and does it really work? I have some friends who swear by it, but I was just wanting some opinions for reptile use. I guess it couldn't hurt to try it in addition to antibiotics.
Here's the article I found:
"As an antibiotic, Silver kills over 650 disease causing organisms and RESISTANT STRAINS FAIL TO DEVELOP. Silver is absolutely non-toxic. Silver in its colloidal state is highly germicidal and has the opposite magnetic charge to disease; it usually starts cleaning the bloodstream after 15 minutes of ingestion. Colloidal Silver functions to kill disease organisms as well as stimulate the regrowth and repair of injured tissue. It may be used both internally and externally, for humans and animals. Externally, this water may be applied directly to cuts, rashes, burns, and moles. Internally, it may be used for viral infections, throat and respiratory infections, diabetes, Candida yeast infections, parasites, and diarrhea. Colloidal Silver may be used as eye drops for retinitis (a disease of the eyes).
"The growing threat of multi-drug resistant bacteria is good reason to think about colloidal silver. Professor Ronald J. Gibbs has been the director of the Center for Colloidal Science at the University of Delaware since 1981. He has published over 85 reviewed journal articles and 5 technical reports, edited 14 books, and presented 61 talks at national and international meetings. His book: Silver Colloids - Do They Work?
