Hi Jill, I have suffered chronic urinary tract infections in the past. I have an indwelling catheter which causes many problems. Taking silver has helped me immensely. Generally I just ingest it (about 8 oz. a day) I recently irrigated my bladder with a 70% colloidal silver 30% DMSO (this will carry the silver into your bladder wall) combination. Before I did this I irrigated with a saline solution. Guess what I'm saying is if you can actually get it into your bladder it will probably be more effective. It did not cause any ill affects for me. This is only my experience and we're all different but it may be something to look into. Another possibility is the formation of bladder stones which cause bladder infections a cystoscopy may help with this. Kent -----Original Message----- From: M. G.

Dear Jill, You write: > I joined the silver list in a last-ditch effort to find relief for my > chronic urinary tract infections which are resistant to antibiotics. I have a relative that, due to a bladder condition, has to catheterize himself several times per day in order to void. Obviously, this leads to recurrent bladder infections despite every precaution, that caused him no end of problems before he found out about CS from me. Now he makes home-made CS using a low-current generator that produces a clear product with faint Tyndall effect, which is probably a small particle CS with a large ionic component. To keep himself well he just takes a swallow or two per day, holding it in his mouth for a few minutes before swallowing. On those occasions he gets careless and an infection gets started, he ups the dose by several times and keeps it there until symptoms have subsided for a few days. A resource you may want to review is a study made by Roger Altman, a former list member, of the paths of excretion of silver consumed orally. Trem Williams has it on his web site, here: http://www.silvergen.com/General/altman.pdf >From this it is obvious that some silver is excreted in the urine, so it is at least making it to the problem area in some form. The fact that there are also good results reported by people suggests it may be of benefit to you. I'm sure others have experiences to share and other treatment ideas. Welcome aboard!
