Re: good news/bad news

Colloidal silver does pass rather quickly through the stomach lining; however most so-called colloidal silver solutions are mostly ionic silver and even the true colloidal silver products such as Mesosilver and Utopia Advanced Colloidal Silver have some ionic content.  Ionic is not as readily absorbed, though it does tend to be converted to silver chloride by stomach acid.

Whether colloidal or ionic, the key for getting it into the intestines is getting it past the stomach and the best way to do that is to take LOTS of it.  Some have also advised taking it 50/50 with aloe juice.  At any rate, regarding candida I know of several people who have used colloidal silver to kill off candida - in some instances going from being too sick to work to back on their jobs and feeling good in only a few days (albeit with some initial Herxheimer effect which soon passes).  As Trapper said, it is a good idea to follow up any regimen of colloidal silver with a good probiotic.
