Colloidal Silver and Urinary Tract Infections, what dosage?

I've been reading alot about the antibacterial properties that silver has, I bought a bottle, but the recommended usage is 2tbsp per day FOR NO MORE THAN 10 CONTINUOUS DAYS. However, I have not found the dosage for when treating UTI. A lot of women seemed to take it everyday, but is that right?I mean excess silver is also a natural poison...but I hate these UTI's. And another question: How do you ladies enjoy sexual activity with UTI's?For me it's been ages since I have..help!

Colloidal silver is extremely dangerous, and causes a permanent condition to the skin called argyria. Go to my blog on Yahoo 360.

Colloidal silver just is not worth the risk especially when there are effective alternatives that do not subkect you to unnecessary risk.

I strongly recommend that you throw out the colloidal silver. You need instead to get some cranactine pills which are concentrated cranberry dosages. Cranberry juice and apple cider vinegar are good for urinary infections. Colloidal silver is hyped and a money maker but is bad for the body.

My mom just takes a little bit of colloidal silver when she feels like she's coming down with something. Also, coconut oil is very good (it has natural antimicrobial properties). Many doctors will tell you that these are bad because they want more money. We've been using alternative remedies for years and we've gotten much healthier.
Oh yeah...and as for the first guy who answered, didn't you ever notice that royals ate with silver silverware, and they were always very healthy...duh!

First, I have used Colloidal Silver for a seven day cleanse, that and some other stuff I won't get into detail. Most of us need to keep the energy up and be able to function while on a cleanse or whatever we are doing for healing.

Second, I wouldn't fast as there are other ways to cleanse and or heal most conditions. The human body is electrical, as everything in nature. You need to have an electrically available formulation of products to make it so the body can use it. You also need to make sure your digestive tract is getting the proper nutrients to reverse the ailment, the body heals itself, this is through supplying the body with enzymes that give the body a fighting change to accept the available nutrients you supply it.

The idea is to do a cleanse where you are also able to eat nutritional foods so your body has strength to keep going.

Actually you can go either way; you can make your urine more acidic (cranberries) or ALKALINE (baking soda, etc.) The reports I have read lean toward going with the alkaline approach, since it is is easier on the human body, since our pH is more alkaline naturally. You would want to take vitamins, and baking soda can inhibit folic acid absorption (B12) so it would be a good idea to take that as well.
Cranberries are good for PREVENTING UTIs, because it prevents E. coli, the bacteria that causes most urinary tract infections, from attaching to the walls of the bladder.Cranberry isn't a substitute for antibiotics in the treatment of UTIs.
Some herbs have been reported to help prevent and alleviate the symptoms of UTIs, like: horsetail, Java tea (Orthosiphon stamineus), lovage (Levisticum officinale), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), spiny restharrow (Ononis spinosa), and nettle. These herbs seem to work by increasing urinary volume and supposedly helping to flush bacteria out of the urinary tract.22 Juniper is used in a similar fashion by many doctors. Generally, these plants are taken as tea.
Phenazopyridine (over the counter medication) will help with pain or the uncomfortable feeling you get with them. (I have urethritis, and have to use it from time to time) It will turn your urine a really dark orange color, but who cares if it makes you feel better! Drink lots of water, flush your system! Good luck.

Make a pot of tea a day of Zea Mays. (corn silk tea.) It has served me better than antibiotics. Take a 1" diameter ball of the tea and brew it in boiling hot water until it is cool enough to drink. It is virtually tasteless and a pot should be drunk during the day for 2 weeks.
If you only find the tea cut, use 2 tablespoons, or in the summer time, get the hair off the corn yourself.

Also, make sure your mate does not give it back to you after you get rid of it. He can, you know. It is caught easily.

This is very effective.


(If you catch the UTI at the onset, you can do this for two or three days. But if you've had it for a while, you'll have to take it for the two week period. If you stop during these two weeks because the pain has gone,after three days, it will come back and you will have to start over again.)Your Health Food Store should have the stuff. It is cheaper than Colloidal Silver, but it will not benefit other things like the Silver will. Just UTI and Kidney infections. I keep some on hand for emergencies, and for others like me.

Works wonders

I used to go for antibiotics for UTI's, and have tried colloidal silver too, but don't anymore--this has been a 100% effective treatment--

Ocean Spray cranberry juice--12 ounces, 3 times daily. Cut back on sweet things and junk food till you feel better--lots of veggies. Don't use the store brands of cranberry juice because they are watered down and have a lot more high fructose corn syrup, which defeats the purpose.

This is all I ever do, and it usually only take 2 days--but on rare occasions it has been 4 days. Best of luck.
