The secondary infection, to my knowledge, usually only developes if the cream is used constantly for more than one month. ----- Original Message ----- From: G. T. To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 11:53 AM Subject: Re: CS>interesting followup on elderly client
Thanks for responding- no, the doctor only gave oral instructions to apply it to the wound. I hope she doesn't get the secondary infection you described below. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "A.V.R.A" Reply-To: silver-list@eskimo.com To: Subject: Re: CS>interesting followup on elderly client Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 07:21:20 -0600 Thank you for the update... The silver creme is most likely Silver Sulfadiazine. I hope this doctor included some instructions. Silvadine is not indicated for prolonged use, and can cause a secondary fungal infection ( which ideally is only a minor infection that will clear up after use has stopped ). Silvadine is excellent stuff ( a silver compound in a cream base ), usually only prescribed for things like severe burns, skin graft donor sites, ect. Doctors normally don't use it as a sole infection fighting agent. It would be interesting to see how well it does ( not likely as good as ionic silver ). ----- Original Message ----- From: G. T.

It was white and in a small plastic tub with a handwritten "silver creme" label on it- no product name, no distributor, no doctor's name, nuthin'.....Just "silver creme"...she told my client that it had silver in it. Looks like certain members of the medical community are coming around. I bought her some c.s. anyway, but she's afraid to take it internally, and I decided against a holy crusade for now...looks like her new young doctor is taking care of that....Happy ending.
