Dr. Bakkar Says,
"This is my take on Colloidal Silver and candida yeast infections for what its worth:

I find it best to use Colloidal Silver as part of a formula and not in isolation. Before penicillin was discovered in 1934, silver was one of the main things used to fight infectious disease. It is interesting how Antibiotics have been showing increasing resistance, but Colloidal Silver shows no such thing.
I’ve been recommending colloidal silver in my clinic for over twenty years for all manner of infections, cuts, coughs and colds, all eye problems, ear, nose and throat and more recently for yeast infections.

How Does Colloidal Silver Work?
There are several ways how colloidal silver works in yeast infections, but here are the most common ways:

1. Colloidal silver has a strong Antibiotic and sterilizing-like activity against many species of bacteria and viruses. As soon as it comes into contact with any anaerobic bacteria it starts to kill them. Silver has been known to purify and cleanse for over one hundred years.

2. Colloidal silver is an antifungal agent in its own right, and has proven to be more effective than even Fluconazole when it comes to yeast infections.

3. Colloidal silver has a supporting effecting on wound healing and can heal many different types of inflammations and wounds, both internal as well as external.

A Korean study published in the Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology demonstrated that colloidal silver is an excellent antifungal in its own right and showed potent activity against clinical isolates of various fungal strains. Research revealed that silver nano-particles (colloidal silver) were very effective against Candida species (yeast infections, vaginal thrush) as well as trichophyton species (athlete’s foot, jock itch and ring worm, hair, scalp and nail fungus).

It is interesting to note that colloidal silver in this study was shown to be equally effective against fungal strains as Amphotericin B (potent antifungal drug). Even more interesting is that it was found to be superior to Diflucan, a widely used drug otherwise known as Fluconazole, widely prescribed to women with vaginal thrush.

I’m not a fan of recommending colloidal silver on its own in the treatment of chronic or severe yeast infections, for the simple reason that most people who do use it, simply use too much at the beginning and experience strong aggravations as their yeast infection dies off. For this reason, if you are going to use colloidal silver internally, the dosage should be small at first, only once per day. After three days step it up to twice daily, and at the end of the week try three times daily.
I use and recommend a silver supplement with a minimum potency of 40 ppm and with a micron size of no more than .001.

Worried about the safety of colloidal silver?

There is a lot of nonsense written about the toxicity of colloidal silver, but tap water is probably more toxic, especially if you live in a big city and drink plenty of it. You may want to check out the silversafety.org website and work out exactly your own daily, weekly or annual limit of how much is OK to use.
Dr. Jeffrey Blumer, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Center for Drug Research (the world’s largest clinical research center for drugs) and former director of the Greater Cleveland Poison Control Center, has this to say about colloidal silver:
“Common substances like table salt and aspirin are harmless with normal use, but excessive intake can become toxic and even life-threatening. With normal responsible usage, silver supplements are entirely harmless to humans.”

New Study Proves Colloidal Silver Decimates Fungal Pathogens; Even Superior to Popular Anti-Fungal Drugs

A recent study (see study overview at the end of this article) conducted by the Department of Microbiology at Kyungpook National University in Daegu, Korea, and published in the prestigious Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, demonstrates what tens of thousands of Colloidal Silver users have already known for years, i.e., Colloidal Silver is one of the most powerful and effective natural anti-fungal agents in the world.

The study authors tested silver nanoparticles (read: colloidal silver) against the Candida species of fungus (the chief culprit in women’s vaginal yeast infections and the more sinister chronic candidiasis syndrome) as well as the Trichophyton species (the most common cause of athlete's foot , jock itch and ringworm, as well as hair and nail fungal infections in humans).

What they discovered is that the silver particles “showed potent activity against clinical isolates and ATCC strains” of the fungal pathogens.

What this means is silver was equally effective against lab-grown strains of the fungal pathogens and strains isolated from infected specimens.

Colloidal Silver Even Beats Diflucan

The study authors also found that silver was comparable in effectiveness to Amphotericin B, one of the most powerful prescription antifungal drugs known to man, which is often used intravenously to cure serious systemic fungal infections.

What’s more, silver was found to be superior in effectiveness to the well-known anti-fungal drug fluconazole (popularly known as Diflucan).

Treating Fungal Infections With Colloidal Silver

This is of course nothing new to experienced colloidal silver users. They frequently use this powerful natural Antibiotic to heal fungal infections of all sorts.

For example, it is now well known that many nasty cases of dandruff are actually topical fungal skin infections in disguise. What’s not as well known publicly is that colloidal silver, put into a simple pump spray bottle and sprayed lightly on the head each morning after drying your hair from the shower will eliminate such topical stealth fungal infections in a matter of days!

Fungal infections of the inner ear can likewise be cured in only a few short days simply by putting a few drops of colloidal silver into the ears each day for several days in a row, allowing it to seep down into the ear for ten of fifteen minutes before draining it back out.

Likewise, fungal infections of the eyes can be healed practically overnight, simply by putting a couple of drops of colloidal silver directly into the eyes, several times a day. (Similarly, Pink Eye can also be eradicated in a few short days using the same technique. And it works great for styes too, which many doctors believe are simply staph infections in the eye.)

Thrush mouth, which is simply a Candida “yeast” fungal overgrowth in the mouth, and is often characterized by a white tongue, can be rapidly cured by using colloidal silver. Simply swish a tablespoonful of colloidal silver around in your mouth two or three times a day, for a good five minutes each time. You can swallow afterwards, or simply spit it out if you prefer. Do this especially after any meal in which sugary products have been consumed. You’ll find the “thrush” symptoms diminishing within a few short days, and eradicated within a week or two.

Athlete’s foot and stubborn toenail fungal infections can also be wiped out by using colloidal silver instead of potentially harmful antifungal drugs that have been known to harm the liver. Simply take a glass baking dish (such as the ones used for baking cakes) and pour an inch and half or so of colloidal silver into it. Then soak your feet for about 30 minutes while watching television or reading a book.

Athlete’s foot can be eradicated in a few short days following this simple method. But stubborn toenail fungal infections may take up to three weeks, or even a bit longer. Nevertheless, you’ll soon notice nice, clear new nails growing in where the old yellowy, or gray-green infected nails were. Trim the old infected toenail away as it grows out naturally, and let the beautiful new, uninfected nail grow in normally.

Vaginal and Systemic Candida Yeast Infections

Perhaps the most widely known use of colloidal silver for fungal infections is its use by women who suffer from chronic vaginal Candida yeast infections, or systemic Candida yeast infections. Women frequently use larger than normal doses of colloidal silver for a few weeks -- anywhere from two to four ounces daily of a 10 ppm solution –in order to rid themselves of nasty Candida yeast infections.

Internal use of colloidal silver like that against deep-seated fungal infections such as Candida yeast can be amazingly effective. However, for maximum success you absolutely have to remember to re-establish your body’s natural intestinal flora during and after the treatment period.

Contrary to popular belief, colloidal silver does not know the difference between the beneficial bacteria that inhabit your intestinal tract, aiding in digestion and contributing to the body’s overall immune status, and the nasty fungal and microbial pathogens that compete for turf in the same region and wreak havoc on your health.

Generally speaking, colloidal silver kills all single-celled microbes it comes into contact with, good and bad alike. And if you are taking larger-than-normal daily amounts of colloidal silver (such as three or four ounces a day rather than several small teaspoons full per day) in order to stop a nasty internal fungal infection, you can wipe out a large portion of your body’s beneficial micro-flora along with the fungal pathogens you’re after.

And because Candida yeast and other fungal pathogens are such rapid colonizers if there are no beneficial microorganisms in the intestinal tract to form a competitive barrier against them, all of your efforts to heal a Candida yeast infection can end up being for naught. The relatively large daily dose of colloidal silver will kill everything in its track, so to speak. And then when the treatment is finished, the Candida yeast fungus can step back in and re-colonize your entire intestinal tract, potentially leaving you in worse shape than when you started.

The simple solution is this: If you find that you have to use larger-than-normal daily amounts of colloidal silver internally to rid yourself of a persistent or deep-seated Candida yeast infection, be sure to re-colonize your digestive tract daily with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium and other beneficial microbes that are native to the intestinal tract.

By doing so daily, during the entire colloidal silver treatment period and for a week or so afterwards, you will completely stop the Candida fungal pathogen from re-establishing colonies in your digestive tract.

You can do this by taking commercial supplements containing beneficial microbes, such as one called I-Flora from Sedona Labs which contains a “grid” of 16 different beneficial microorganisms that are native to the human intestinal tract. Or you can do so by eating moderate daily portions of high-quality yogurt containing high levels of active beneficial bacterial cultures.

You can purchase supplements containing high levels of beneficial bacterial at just about any good health food store. Or you can get high-quality yogurt with active beneficial bacterial cultures at health food store as well as many larger chain supermarkets.

One of Nature’s Most Astonishing Remedies Against Fungal Infections

With that simple caveat, you’ll probably find, like many thousands of other people have, that colloidal silver is one of nature’s most astonishing remedies against fungal infections.

Perhaps that is why colloidal silver is one of the top-recommended products for healing stubborn fungal infections mentioned in the best-selling book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing by certified nutrition counselor Phyllis A. Balch and her husband Dr. James F. Balch, M.D., who recommend it for everything from athlete’s foot to Candidiasis.

The Study Overview

Directly below you’ll find the brief overview I promised of the new university medical study which amply demonstrates colloidal silver’s incredible effectiveness against fungal pathogens of the Candida and Trichophyton species.

It is too bad the U.S. medical community refuses to embrace this vital, peer-reviewed information. If they did, they could pretty much help put an end to today’s growing epidemic of fungal infections, which can cause diseases ranging from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia to serious immune system deficiencies, cancer and other life-threatening conditions.

The intransigence of the medical community in regards to its refusal to embrace colloidal silver even in the face of a growing body of new studies proving its effectiveness is due chiefly to the overwhelming influence wielded by the huge multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical corporations. Big Pharma simply does not want to see any relatively inexpensive, safe and natural nutritional supplement competing with their expensive and potentially harmful prescription antifungal, antiviral and Antibiotic drugs.

So that’s where things stand. And it is largely why bureaucrats in the U.S. EPA and FDA are working so hard to re-classify beneficial silver nanoparticles (read: colloidal silver) as a “pesticide,” so they can regulate this safe, natural substance into oblivion at the behest of the big pharmaceutical companies. (See the latest blog post on this topic here.)

They don’t want you to know what researchers in other parts of the world are confirming in droves, i.e., that safe, natural colloidal silver is simply the most powerful natural pathogen killer on the face of the earth.

Antifungal effect of silver nanoparticles on dermatophytes.Kim KJ, Sung WS, Moon SK, Choi JS, Kim JG, Lee DG. Department of Microbiology, College of Natural Scienes, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 702-701, Korea.

Spherical silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag) were synthesized and their antifungal effects on fungal pathogens of the skin were investigated.

Nano-Ag showed potent activity against clinical isolates and ATCC strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Candida species (IC80, 1-7 microg/ml).

The activity of nano-Ag was comparable to that of amphotericin B, but superior to that of fluconazole (amphotericin B IC80, 1-5 microg/ml; fluconazole IC80, 10- 30 microg/ml).

Additionally, we investigated their effects on the dimorphism of Candida albicans. The results showed nano-Ag exerted activity on the mycelia.

Thus, the present study indicates nano-Ag may have considerable antifungal activity, deserving further investigation for clinical applications.

Trapper has been a leader at the Curezone for many years & explained how he cured his Candida:
"like i told ya, i got rid of my candida with CS.
i made very strong yellow Colloidal Silver and drank several ounces of that a day. i peed cottage cheese for two months."
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2289458#i

Trapper continues:
"hi grizz,

when i first began making CS all of the info available to me on the internet was telling me that yellow silver was the right concentration that worked best. that seems to have been rejected without question in favor of the clear EIS/CS everyone talks about today. needless to say, i smell a big fat rat.

a little background.

making silver water with electricity is easy. the biggest problem is having the pure silver to do it with. buy silver NOW. not because of the price or any future increase thereof but simply this - it wont be available to you at any price. get some. its essential emergency medicine.

the idea is that you suspend pure silver (three nines or greater) in pure distilled water (less than 1ppm TDS is ideal) and hook up juice to it.

i will tell you a secret right now. any silver water made with any silver using any water and electrical source will work. if you use enough of it, it will work. you could take two pieces of your tea service (sterling 975), hook each piece up to one wire on a drop cord, suspend them in a toilet bowl and plug the other side in the wall and make effective medicine. we can all do better than that, now cant we?

i like the bars because they reach down further into the water than the rounds and are just easier to use. cut the rectangle lengthways, have two half ounce electrodes, get a glass quart jar with a plastic lid, cut holes for a pressure fit of your diodes, fill as full as possible with walmart distilled water and youre set. find a high voltage converter and shoot for, according to legend, 30v. radio shack once sold a switchable 15/30v converter and i got one of those. however, snapping 9v batteries together in a series will work well. you wont be using many amps so they last for a few batches. get rechargeables or a converter or pay a lot more. four of them in a series gives you 36v while only three gives you 27v. the extra batter in the four cell unit makes better silver and makes it faster. definitely worth it. luckily, HP used 30v with their printers.

so, to make yellow silver you just cook it till you get a good hint of yellow in the water. it will get more pronounced after it sits around for a few days. clear silver, which is the current vogue (and which i have had fail on me, but thats another story) will get a yellow tinge over time.

what makes it yellow? well, when the power is on and the silver is leaving the heard an ion or atom at a time, it slowly disperses in the water. this is why it is good to be able to stir as you make it. in gallon jugs i suggest a fish tank aerator. i dont like magnetic stirrers though some people swear by them. in the above setup, an extra hole in the lid to stick a plastic chopstick or something down in and stir it works great.

the more concentrated the silver particles become in the water the more they contact one another and join to form larger particles. the properties of silver makes for different colors refracted according to the size. yellow is the first color you see and it tells you your ions and colloids are as concentrated as you need them to be. you can keep going until you reach a deep red color. its really weird stuff. i accidentally made some and ended up using it in a hot bath. good idea, btw. with hydrogen peroxide. oh yea. koolaids here wearin a smile.

so, do the above making sure the electrodes get cleaned as you cook (the silver comes off the positive side), make sure they dont touch (1.5 inches is a good gap between them), and keep stirred so the cooking speed goes up slowly and can tell when you reach your concentration goal. watch out for bridging which might occur if not stirred or cleaned often enough. they short out your electricity.

with the yellow silver method there is no need for the tyndal effect using a laser or other light source. it is fun though so look it up and read about it.

but first, get to your local coin shop asap and see if they have any one ounce bars for spot plus. you could go with a ten ounce bar and cut that in half. more than a lifetime supply, for the whole block."

Summary:
Making a strong yellow CS requires using hot distilled water ( hot as in coffee hot), pure .999% Silver and 4-9 Volt Batteries (36 Volts). Run electricity through silver & distilled water for approx 2 hours until yellow.
MUCH MORE: See the Colloidal Silver Forum for more details. Also, plenty of Youtube Videos on making Colloidal Silver .
