Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hi Sarah, Thank you for your suggestion, Sarah. I took out a bottle of colloidal silver nasal spray, (I think the formula for colloidal silver is the same, whether it be nasal spray or not) and the directions state " for moisturizing dry .... " Since moisture is the problem, I wonder if this is a good choice? Anyone? TIA, Buffy What about colloidal silver? It is good for ear infections or yeasty ears > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Buffy, You're right, it can be confusing. That is part of what I think holds back colloidal silver from wider use, the fact that is is such a broad use " agent " . It can be used to fight infections, as an antibacterial agent, as a germicide in cleaning even. I am on an email list for colloidal silver for pets that had a thread or two on yeast infections in dogs ears. One of the answers to a lady asking if she could use it in her lab's ears was yes she could use it to fight the infection as well as afterwards to get rid of what remained (goo) and couldn't quite be knocked out. It can be both put in the ear and given as or in the drinking water (I like to give a bowl of each for those of mine that want it). One of the women who answered her said something about not having an occurrence of the yeast infection since she began giving it to her dog. I guess the thing to remember with CS is that it is the silver that does the work, the water is just the medium that carries it and so is of less importance. I hope this helps some.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Sarah, Since the infection is not present at this time, are you saying it is OK to put the colloidal silver in her water every day to keep the infection from returning? Or do I wait until the infection returns and treat her with it by putting it in the ears and in her water? TIA, Buffy You're right, it can be confusing. That is part of what I think holds back colloidal silver from wider use, Sarah G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Buffy, If there is any left over effects from the infection in her ears you can put the CS in her ears and it will " finish it off " . You can put the CS in water for her whether she has an infection or not and it will help fight off any future infections as well as clearing up any residual infection. If the infection returns you can increase how much she is getting, even give it to her directly by the dropper (not sure how much as I have dogs not cats). My dogs don't have any infections at the moment and I put out a little bowl of the CS beside the bowls of plain water so if they want the CS it is there for them as they will drink it of their own choice. I make my own colloidal silver so it costs very little for me to do this. And as the CS can change color (which doesn't make it less potent or anything, just strange looking) it is a good thing I do. If you want to talk to people who have gone through this with their own animals the group address is: CSCats-Dogs/ They are a really nice group of people, not a lot of email, very helpful.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Thanks Sarah, We just got some snow here, so I need to do something for her today. I'm interested in how CS is made as it is very expensive to purchase!! This is my dog we have been talking about, my DH doesn't like the hair that cats leave. Also, they are too independent for him. Darn, because I love them too. Also thanks for the referral, my application is in.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi Buffy, There are more than a few generators out there for you to think about buying, or even making. They range in complexity and price as you might imagine. I ended up getting the silver puppy as it is mid range in price and very simple in operation. I'm not going to try going into how you make CS as I'm not a scientific person and I don't fully understand it. From what I can gather it has to do with electrodes and an electrical current between 2 silver rods that suffuse the water with silver ions, or something like that anyway. So the generators are different in that some let you regulate the ppm (parts per million) that you get when you make the silver, others don't. Some have automatic shut off for when the ppm reach the level it is supposed to or you set it for (a good thing!). And some have stirring methods, for even distribution I guess. I liked the look of the silver puppy on the whole, he made it simple with an auto off switch, no adjusting any thing, a thermal stirring unit (a small light in a little light " box " to heat the water just enough to stir it, so no mechanical parts involved there) and a small beaker. It doesn't make a ton, some units make up to a gallon which must be nice if you have a horse to does or lots of animals. The beaker holds maybe 8 oz and I think it can actually make up to a pint comfortably without reseting or anything. I don't know enough about the other models but I know there are people on the list who are happy with the ones they got and will tell you all about them if you ask them to tell you about them. There are a ton of articles written about CS and the how, what, why and all that, I included a few in case you wanted to read some, and some of the links to generators will take you to more. So here are a few links to some of the models that seem to be the most popular so that you can chose what is going to work best for you.... http://www.silverpuppy.com/page1b.html http://www.wishgranted.com/ec_store/index.htm http://www.silvergen.com/ http://www.silvermedicine.org/ http://www.csprosystems.com/ http://www.sunstoneherbals.com/cs-shop.htm Some Articles: http://colloidalsilver.hypermart.net/silver/articles.html http://www.colloidalsilver.ca/pharma.htm Good luck and Happy surfing!
