Dear Marlyn, Hi! I`m Marshalee, an oldby on the list! I use CS for my 2 Pug dogs, and my birds too. I have finches and cararies. CS also cured a cockatiel I had a few years ago of giardia. I take some myself every day as a preventive. CS cured me of Lyme disease. Good stuff!! What kind of dog do you have?? Marshalee
Good morning! I am new to the list ~~ just subscribed this AM; I don't let any moss grow under *my* feet ;o) My experience with Colloidal Silver has been an extremely positive one. I learned about CS 2 years ago when my dog had an eye infection, and the owner of a local health food store suggested I try it. "it couldn't hurt," she said. BAM!! the infection was gone within 2 days. I was truly amazed! But I did continue the treatment for 3 days beyond that. Before the HFS visit, I had already taken my dog to the vet, but the medicine I was given, I wasn't familiar with; thus the trip to the health food store. A couple days after the treatment, I took her back to the vet, and he was amazed that "his" medicine had cleared up the infection so quickly. I told him I had used CS. He was drawn back and shocked that I had put "foreign objects" in her eyes. Then I got the rolled eyes routine that usually comes from vets who do not practice or understand alternatives. Since then, I've been researching CS and using it on a when-needed basis, as opposed to a preventative, because during my research, I have read that it is important not to use it for extended periods; one article said 10 days on, 10 off. Another said 3 weeks on, 3 off. Unfortunately neither article said "why." :-( I have also read it is alright to use it regularly without breaks. But what's the concept behind the intermittent use? Whelp, that's my intro. Marilyn~~
