Sexually Transmitted Disease, Vaginitis and Urinary Tract Infections: Great Results in African Trials


Trials in Ghana, West Africa, on Malaria victims using a new recently patented advanced colloidal silver solution have had some pleasant side effects. Not only did the advanced silver solution have amazing effects on the malaria, but it also proved to be effective against Urinary Tract Infections, Sexually Transmitted Diseases such as gonorrhea, skin infections and parasites that were also present in those malaria patients. West Africa is riddled with all kinds of nasty diseases, so there was no harsher environment for this trial.

The new advanced silver solution is produced by American Biotech Labs and marketed by Nutronix International. American Biotech Labs supplied about 1000 of the 8oz bottles of the advanced colloidal silver for the Ghanaian human trials. The trials were conducted across 4 Ghanaian clinics/hospitals. The silver solution is known to be effective against a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, molds and yeasts, yet it does not harm the friendly bacteria that we need in our stomach for digestion.

The Ghanaian human trials support many US laboratory trials conducted by a number of top US university and research establishments. Although, colloidal silver has been around for decades having originally been patented in 1924, this new advanced colloidal silver solution has been able to demonstrate a new technology and capabilities. This culminated in a new patent in 2006, representing a major advance in this area.

Numerous claims are made by the patent application that was accepted in 2006. Amongst the patents claims is that it exhibits antimicrobial properties against microbes including gonorrhea, urinary tract infections, vaginal infections, trichomonas vaginalis and Candida albicans. These claims have been independently accepted and validated by the US Patent Office due to the level of hard evidence supporting the claims. This evidence includes the Ghanaian malaria trials.

In US laboratory trials it was established that due to the high potency of the new advanced colloidal silver and its multiple kill mechanisms against bacteria and viruses; urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases could be killed at extremely low concentrations of the silver suspension in water.

Urinary tract infections such as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa was killed at just 5.0 parts per million (that is 5 parts of silver to 999,995 parts of water) whilst other urinary tract infections; Streptococcus Faecalis, E.Coli, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Enterobacter Aerpyogenes were killed at a mere 2.5 parts per million.

Furthermore, the yeast infection, Candida albicans and the vaginitis infection Trichomonas vaginalis were both killed at only 10.0 parts per million.

There are actually many more bacteria, viruses, molds and yeasts listed on the patent, which are not relevant to this article.

The advanced silver solution is commercially available at 14 parts per million, which is clearly strong enough for most requirements, whilst still being at extremely low concentrations. Most other colloidal silvers have to be hundreds or even thousands of parts per million to even come close to achieving the same results.

The potency at such low concentrations results from the unique manufacturing method. It makes the new silver solution even safer as the vast majority of its mass is just pure water. The new advanced silver solution is a clear transparent liquid, whilst most other colloidal silvers usually have a brown tinge to them and there is hardly any taste to it.

Safer Sex to Prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases


A great deal of attention was paid to safe sex in the 1980s, when HIV first became a concern. Mass awareness campaigns highlighted the necessity of using condoms during sex to minimise the risk of spreading sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). But in time, it became apparent that no sex can be called 100% safe. This is particularly true in case of genital herpes. When you have a virus in your body that can spread sexually transmitted infections (STIs), you need to engage in 'safer' sex practices to reduce the risk of transmission to your healthy partner.

People often think that sex is only about intercourse. It is not. Kissing, fondling or even holding hands are physical manifestations of sexual intimacy. When you have herpes and are actively into sex, you may think that using condom is a safe option to prevent transmitting the virus to your partner. But think twice. Genital herpes is one of the most contagious sexually transmitted diseases and using a condom may not fully cover your genitals. And in any case, what if the condom breaks? How do you prevent transmission while kissing or fondling your partner? These are some of the questions that should make you think about safer sex options.

How to make love in a 'safer' way?
Many couples have sex in creative ways to minimise the risk of herpes transmission. To make sex creative, you need to talk to your partner first. Mutual cooperation and understanding must be there for trying out innovative postures that reduce outright exposure of the genitals. But such activities are usually very difficult to perform. So the next option you have is using protective methods such as condoms, latex gloves and sheets. But using all types of barriers at the same time may make sex a bit clumsy. Besides, if the sore is at the base of the penis, or to one side of the labia, a barrier may not fully cover the infected area. So there are more safer sex options you can try to prevent spreading and/or getting infected with sexually transmitted diseases.

Single partner
Having a single sex partner helps prevent transmission of herpes and other sexually transmitted infections. As for herpes, the virus that causes it can stay inactive inside the body for an indefinite period of time. So if you are having sex with more than one partner, the chance of you knowing about the medical history of your 'present' partner is very less, as you may have struck up the relation only recently.

Learn how to wear and remove a condom
This may sound trivial, but it is not. Many youngsters still fumble while wearing or removing condoms. Do not rush while putting on a condom; take your time and wear it properly. Probably a good time to learn is when you are alone.

One condom at a time
Condoms are not made for reuse. So throw away the used condom after sex, buy a new one and use it the next time.

No sex after drinking alcohol
Avoid sex when you are under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol can reduce your situational awareness and you may not be able to wear the condom properly.

Private STD Test - Charlotte STD Testing Clinics


Anybody who is suspecting to be infected with a sexually transmitted disease would like to know the real status of his or her health condition in private. This is because having STDs is already a stigmatized image in the society. If others hear that you are in the process suspecting about your health condition, people may have alerady judged you. However, despite all the troubles you may have to go through, you still have to take an STD test. This will confirm your suspicions of beign infected with STDs. It may be true or not anyway. The important thing is that you know what your real health status is. Whether positive or not, by taking the test, one may know what’s the next step to do.

Many people are reluctant in going to a clinic or hospital to have an STD test. Aside from fear that people may judge them just because of the test and results, others are not prepared or are afraid of what the results may give them. They do not exactly know what to do if it turns out to be positive. However, one must take the test. An STD doesn’t just go away by itself. It can cause general body infections or can directly affect your reproductive and sex organs. If one gets tested right away, treatment will be given to him or her promptly. This is to prevent one from suffering all those complications that STDs can give.

Today, one may opt to take a private STD testing. There are a few online sites that you can contact and order test kits for various STD’s. You follow the directions and send your kit to the private lab, and they will send you your results. This is a great way to test in full privacy; however, these kits only cover the common STDs like herpes, Chlamydia, and gonorrhea. For other STDs, you have to order another type of test kit which is more expensive than the usual ones. Aside from this, there are a lot of fraud acts online. If you are careful, you might end up buying a fake product.

There are private STD testing clinics that offer very good testing services and promise confidentiality. The test done in private clinics may cover all STD testing. It can detect even the simplest type of STD. aside from this, these clinics are also offering reproductive health screenings, counseling and treatment.

After the diagnosis, treatment should always follow immediately. Treatment will depend on the type of disease that has infected the patient. The period of time for the treatment will also depend on how severe the disease is when it was detected. There are several STD that can be cured, so if these are detected early, the disease will be eliminated right away. For incurable diseases, treatment and medications are given to delay the effects of the disease. This will preempt the spread of the virus to the other body organs of the patient. The patient will also be required to have regular checkups and testings. This will help in monitoring the development of the treatment being given to him or her.
