Coincidentally, I attempted to help my daughter with an infection at the same place; the infection behind the right ear was becoming chronic, and despite wonderful results with EIS with conjunctivitis and other infections, it was very difficult to keep that particular area covered with EIS.

I did not attempt to make a salve, which might have worked.

It was also difficult to ensure that "the patient" pulled the ear back to expose the infected area; it was painful to do so. This may be the main cause of the failure. Spraying EIS on a bandage might have worked, but it would have been a bit difficult to keep in place.

A corticosteroidal cream prescribed by a trusted MD cleared up the infection rapidly. It was easy to apply and to keep on the infected area.

Infections above the neck can be very risky; don't let the problem go on for long. I am in favor of whatever works, but in this case liquid, sprayed-on EIS was not effective.

Does using colloidal copper together with colloidal silver work synergistically to heal chronic wounds?

For the last 10 days I have been using Colloidal silver to treat chronic wounds from cosmetic surgery in Sept. '04; the wounds are behind my ears.  Up until now (and despite weeks of antibiotics), the wounds have not healed due to a staph infection.  Now the colloidal silver is dealing with that and finally some progress is being made. Nevertheless, where the ear attaches to the head, there is still quite an opening.  I have recently read of people using a combination of colloidal silver and colloidal copper to heal wounds.  I would really appreciate hearing whether any of the silver-list community knows of success using that combination.

Thank you so much for your help.
