Hi Corbin; I have bladder infections as a part of my life due to spinal cord injury, and have also had candida albicans as a result of taking course after course of antibiotics to kill the bacteria. I had also bladder stones, which acted as a hiding place for the bacteria; they'd just find tiny places to lurk in the stone until the antibiotic deluge was over, then come out and set up shop again. Discouraging and frightening, spent most of a year in this back-and-forth fashion, getting sicker and sicker. Finally the docs decided to xray me, found the faint trace of a small shadow, did a visual inspection with a 'borescope' up the urethra (stark terror time, but not as bad as you'd think) and found it. Removed the stone under complete anaesthesia, using a laser to break it up and flushing the particles out, and that was that. This scenario repeated a couple of years later, and then I learned to keep my urine acidic - primarily by taking lots of Vitamin C. I also use a buffered citric acid magnesium citrate solution called Suby's G to irrigate; 60 ml as a rinse, followed by 60 ml retained each time I cath. I will still get occasional infections, but they are controllable - they go away when I treat them, and don't come back when I stop. Recently I started using CS as the irrigant instead of the Suby's G solution, taking great care to use a good quality of DW to make my CS, and near as I can tell it works as well as the Suby's, maybe better. I haven't yet tried just CS alone as prophylaxis, taking it both by mouth and using it topically, so no claims about it's ability to 'cure'. I might yet follow a suggestion by Kevin Nolan and use a very dilute Citric acid solution to make the CS in. You can check out his posts about this in the archive. So, on to finer things; I think Ian's point was not that CS is ineffective - far from it! Rather he was emphasizing the fact, widely known, that silver colloids act on microorganisms in a way that is completely different from all antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals or what-have-you that the pharmaceutical companies are putting out. This is one reason that the bugs cannot develop a resistance to it's action. I'm not saying they don't hide out in other tissues or foreign materials where the silver will not reach, just that they do not develop resistance. The ABX, on the other hand, permeate (almost) our entire organism, and as you point out they are extremely toxic to non-resistant target bugs so dilute quantities are effective just about everywhere within us. At least they're effective until the bug develops some defense against the poison. CS works by somehow messing up the microorganism's cell wall, which is pretty much the same stuff in bacteria as in fungi and virii, (but very different than animal cell wall,) so that it just stops working; no food in, no waste out, no ion concentration regulating, so the cell dies. This is somewhat like what a bacterium that forms spores does when it meets a harsh environment; it reduces it's size, makes a thick resistant 'skin' around itself, and almost ceases any activity - like in suspended animation. But it takes time for the bug to recognize that it's environment has gone bad, and to make the adaptation to spore existence. Contact with silver doesn't allow this time.
