Subject: RE:CS>cs and antibiotics
The warning originated from the National
Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a part of the
NIH. See:
http://nccam.nih.gov/health/alerts/silver/
"Colloidal silver may interfere with the body's absorption of the
following drugs: penacillamine, quinolones, tetracyclines, and
thyroxine."
There is no basis for the warning provided. If anyone can provide data that
SHOWS that colloidal silver interferes with ANY antibiotic, I would be very
interested to see it. But as it is, anyone can make any unsubstantiated
charge against CS and it is expected that CS uses must disprove the claim.
Hey, believe whatever you want! Meanwhile here is a couple more.

Here is a study that shows that CS increases the bactericidal efficiency of
amoxicillin
Synergistic antibacterial effects of β-lactam antibiotic combined with
silver
nanoparticles
http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0957-4484/16/9/082
"When amoxicillin and silver nanoparticles are combined, it results in
greater
bactericidal efficiency on Escherichia coli cells than when they were
applied
separately. Dynamic tests on bacterial growth indicated that exponential and
stationary phases are greatly decreased and delayed in the synergistic
effect
of amoxicillin and silver nanoparticles. In addition, the effect induced by
a
preincubation with silver nanoparticles is examined. The results show that
solutions with more silver nanoparticles have better antimicrobial effects.
And:
http://www.academicjournals.org/sre/PDF/pdf2008/May/Iroha%20et%20al%20.pdf
" Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy
beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these beneficial
enzymes intact (Hall et al., 1999). An added advantage
to the use of silver is that it has variously been
shown to have high safety profile in vivo and cannot
interact or interfere with other medicines being taken
(Iroha et al., 2007). Furthermore, it is known not to
destroy the normal microbial flora of the gut thereby
avoiding the negative effects of traditional antibiotics that
kill good bacteria in the lower digestive tract (Beaker and
Spadaro, 1981)."

thanks for the info. however it doesn't state which antibiotics were used in
the study. i read on another site that certain antibiotics such as
tetracyline,quinolone and also penicillamine had their effectiveness reduced
because of cs. now its possible this is biased reporting but if it isnt then
there are specific antibiotics that are affected by cs. and i would like to
know if doxycyline and amoxicillin are two of them. thanks again

A 2007 study on the interaction of colloidal silver and antibiotics shows no
problems with using colloidal silver and antibiotics.

Antibacterial efficacy of colloidal silver alone and in combination with
other antibiotics on isolates from wound Infections
"A total of ten clinical bacterial isolates comprising five isolates of
Escherichia coli isolated from surgical wound patients at the Federal
Medical Centre, Abakaliki and five isolates of Staphylococcus aureus
isolated from the wound sites of burnt patients at the University of Nigeria
Teaching Hospital, Enugu were evaluated for their susceptibility to
colloidal silver at 5 and 20 ppm using agar dilution method and the killing
rate technique. Also, interaction studies between colloidal silver and some
conventional antibiotics were carried out against the clinical isolates of
Escherichia coli and S. aureus using disc diffusion technique. The result of
the study shows that the test organisms were sensitive to the colloidal
silver at both concentrations and also to some of the antibiotics in the
paper disc. The killing rate studies revealed that the colloidal silver is
highly bactericidal against the test isolates at both concentrations. The
drug interaction study showed no antagonism, indicating that concomitant use
of colloidal silver with these antibiotics may not affect the therapeutic
efficacy of either of these agents."

hi,does anyone know if cs will bind to and reduce the effect of doxycycline
and amoxicillin. thanks
