This is probably only a myth, however, if this is true then the most logical answer would be that werewolves have an allergy to silver.

Silver is a well known antibiotic. Casanova took silver nitrate as a cure for venereal disease. The saying 'born with a silver spoon in your mouth' is derived from the habit of wealthy family being able to afford silver pacifiers for their infants - a proven deterrent for infection. So naturally it would be suspected as a cure for the werewolf condition.
