Welcome to the list. Hope this helps fill in the info-gap: I've had excellent results with killing and controlling amoebas and other parasites, and live in an area (Southern Mexico) where they are common food contaminants, as well as salmonella, e.coli, and others (bad shrimp, bay oysters, etc.)
I've killed all of the above with CS, a potent variety sold OTC all over Mexico, in industrial strength dosages for extended periods of time, with no adverse intestinal conditions. (Certainly not as bad as the conditions the CS is preventing, anyway. A little acididolphilus never hurts either.) As to whether CS will kill the amoeba cysts themselves, I am uncertain, but I would suspect the answer is yes. It will kill all amoebas as they hatch, breaking the cycle they create in your body. I have been so effective in control of these intestinal parasites, through daily doses of CS, that I have not suffered a single incident in five years, nor have I had a single case of dengue fever during that same time, which I used to get about 2-3 times a year. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wetterauer, Letitia [MWPS]" <lkwet...@iastate.edu> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Monday, April 07, 2003 3:28 PM Subject: CS>New to list > Hello, > I have been investigating colloidal silver lately after a long journey with entomoeba histolytica and other health problems, especially in the last year. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (have been hypo for years but ignored), adrenal hypofunction, and entomoeba histolytica infection. I was treated for the amoeba with flagyl a month after the thyroid diagnosis which was a disastrous health period of beginning the wrong kind of thyroid therapy and not getting any treatment for adrenal fatigue on top of it. So, the flagyl just about killed me. It was prescribed by a totally parasite ignorant doctor after I took the initiative to get a GI test on my own and brought him the results and the treatment protocol. I just was not able to handle 10 days of Flagyl at 750mg/day. I quit after day 4. At about that time, I got a new out of state thyroid doctor and was put on all T3, and low dose cortef. Over the next few months, my health improved greatly, except that I still had the bug. ! > I visited a new doctor to see what other meds I could take for the amoeba. He ran blood tests and determined that I no longer had it. Well, others more knowledgeable informed me that blood tests were not good indicators whether I did or didn't still have this infection. I came to the conclusion that I still had it because I knew I was not right. > > Histolytica is a nasty parasite that bores into the intestinal lumen and other soft tissue (liver, brain) and hides. It also produces copious amounts of infective cysts. It makes substances that turn off the immune system. I live in an area where these type of parasite infections are fairly unknown by doctors and doctors are woefully ignorant. I knew I would not likely get help from any local or statewide doc and there was only one other "approved" medication available to me that was very nasty. So, I needed a systemic drug that would get these hiders as well as something to kill the cysts. I decided to order Tinidazole from overseas. It is not approved here in the US because the drug companies have decided it won't be profitable. It kills the amoeba and cysts in just 3 days, which is much more tolerable for sick people. It must be followed with another antibiotic (paromomycin, Iodoquinol, or Yodoxin) for 2 weeks to 20 days in order to take care of the remaining cysts. I was n! > ot able to get any of these others. So, I happened on a product called Silver & Clove, which contains colloidal silver, berberine (known to kill amoeba) and a few other things. I used that for a 3 weeks, while I waited for the tinidazole to arrive and I had pretty good results. Then after taking the tinidazole I continued using Silver & Clove for over a week. Now, I am using a 500ppm colloidal silver preparation alone on the second week after the tinidazole. I sure hope this kills the cysts or I will be very unhappy. 3 days of Tinidazole is quite toxic enough. I'm not keen at all on doing it again. > > So, what I was wondering is: Does anyone know how good colloidal silver is at killing cysts of amoebic dysintery? Also, I am wondering what it does to healthy gut flora. One of the things that I need to do is reestablish healthy life forms in the gut. I've read that people use it all the time. Does this affect nutrient uptake, since some life forms are needed for good digestion and digestive tract health? It is claimed it will control yeast, but I have read one person's personal account who did not get yeast control. This scares me as to whether then it really is totally effective against amoeba cysts. > > Thanks > Tish > > > > -- > The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver. > > Instructions for unsubscribing may be found at: http://silverlist.org > > To post, address your message to: silver-list@eskimo.com > > Silver-list archive: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.html > > List maintainer: Mike Devour <mdev...@eskimo.com> > >
