Colloidal Silver

mani · Jul 26, 2012

I'm recovering from a severe illness and a friend has given me a colloidal silver machine. She says it was instrumental in curing her Crohn's disease. Before that I was quite cynical about it as it seemed to good to be true.

I've read quite a few random comments on this site and wondered if someone could just give me the definitive 'using colloidal silver with cats' advice (from those with direct experience). I have a boy with a compromised system who gets diarrhea very easily and is sensitive to quite a few things. I need to know whether you put it in their water, whether it can be over-used, and what to use it for.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

I've used colloidial silver with my cats. You can mix it with food or put it in their mouth.

You can read more information on what I used and what you can use it for here:http://translate.google.nl/translat...ww.huisdierendokter.nl/colloidaal-zilver.html The original text is in Dutch, but I've used google translate to translate it in English.

I use this brand recommended by Carolina It is absolutely amazing. You can dilute with distilled water and keep in a dark colored bottle. I will have to dig up the directions as to how Carolina told me to use it and will post it here. I used it diluted to 50 ppm for an eye wash for my cat.

I am also currently using it full strength on my dogs histiocytoma's on his toes and a new growth on the side of his face that was bleeding. OMG in already two days both conditions have calmed down and are looking much better. It is an incredible product.

Lauren, you and I (and I think Carolina) only use it TOPICALLY.

I have no knowledge or experience with its use internally. Externally, I use it for everything on us and the cats. :lol3: It's great for ringworm, cuts, infection-prevention, pink eye... Flowerbelle had acne a month or two ago, the first time any of our cats ever had it. I used CS on it, and it cleared up overnight.

I do recall seeing that some people use it internally. The 500ppm that we use EXTERNALLY only would be MUCH MUCH MUCH too concentrated to use internally. Those are like 10 or 20ppm, I think. :dk: I've also seen caution against using it long term, as the silver can accumulate in... ???? and then cause health problems.

I highly recommend it for external use against fungal/bacterial problems. I know nothing about using it with food or water (ingesting it).

I've used it before, on the cat scratches on my arms as well as Lucky's old fighting wounds.

It is safe for humans to injest, but I'm not sure about cats, or what the correct amount would be. I'm also not sure about the safty of making your own, unless you really know what your doing.When I was a buyer in the Wellness dpt. of our local co-op, below is the link to the brand we sold. It's a good one.I would just call the companies, & ask if they have any info on use in pets.But yes, topicly, it's wonderful!Mountain Well-Being Colloidal Silver, Colloidal Gold, Colloidal ...www.mountainwellbeing.com/

I've used it for ringworms for my cats.. worked GREAT!

cinderflower · Jul 26, 2012

silver is an excellent anti-microbial and for whatever topical external uses, it's great. i wouldn't give it to a cat internally. i know there are people who ingest it but i wouldn't do that either.

I've used liquid silver internally on cats for various ailments (everything from urinary tract issues to diarrhea to URIs) at a dose range of 15-30 drops/day (split in 2 or 3 doses) of either 10 or 30 ppm silver. I only use it when there are symptoms, not long-term or as a preventative. Ideally it's administered direct into the mouth (but not straight down the throat - more like into the cheek pouch), but it can also be put in wet food if the cat isn't a willing participant in that process (like some of the ferals I was treating).

angels mommy · Jul 26, 2012

Yes, colloidal Silver is wonderful for people & pets use! I was a buyer in the wellness dpt. of our local co-op for 6 & 1/2 yrs, & sold lots of it!

It is really helpful, & does work. I have used it internally, & externally. I have'nt used it internally on cats, because I didn't know what dosage was safe.

Thanks sugarcatmom for the info!! The brand we used to sell is a good one as well. below is the link. (they even list a phone number, if you need)

Good luck, keep us posted!

OOPS! Sorry, I didn't think my first post, posted. I was having computer issues! This is the one I meant to post. Didn't want anyone to think I purposely repeated myself.

Thank you, everyone.

It sounds like, to err on the side of caution, no internal use for pussycats.

I'll post more tomorrow or the next day because all Colloidal Silver's are NOT created equal. Too much information to post here right now when I'm short on time. There are three types of products that can be labeled as "colloidal silver," and they can be categorized as: ionic silver solutions, silver protein, and true colloidal silver.

I use CS internally and externally for my kitties. Internally I never use over a 30ppm CS. Externally I could go with a higher ppm, but I use the same 30ppm.

I didn't want you to think that there was hardly anyone that uses CS for their kitties. I'm sure there are quite a few, just that they haven't seen this post yet.

Try adding a half ounce or so of colloidal silver to a dish of water and setting it next to a dish without CS in it...you just might be amazed which one he chooses to drink from first!

I've done a lot in the industry for over fourteen years.

OK, thanks, WhollyCat. My good friend sells the apparatus for producing it, and has an incredible amount of info on its use for humans, but not at all for cats.

So I'll just wait and see what you and others have to say.

Yes - I also only use it externally and CS truly is a miracle in a bottle for many skin issues. Not sure on the dilution for internally but Whollycat seems to have some knowledge on this one.

I'm still working on this Lauren.

I'm trying to put together a somewhat uncomplicated, but extensive, answer. A little for those that want a little, but more indepth for those that want to learn more and know what to look for. Should have it ready this weekend and will post it all.

mani · Jul 27, 2012

That's really good of you, WhollyCat... I really look forward to it.

carolina · Jul 28, 2012

CS is one thing I will not run out here in my house. For the kitties, I have used for wounds, ringworm, ear infections...
For me, aside from cuts and regular wounds, it has saved me from complications from many, many cat bites. Hope gets overs-stimulated, and she has bitten me quite a few time as I try to groom her. The last one I was wearing a safety glove, and still, it was a deep bite; in between my fingers, and I am pretty sure it reached the tendon. Hurt like no one's business! Again, washed, soaked a cotton ball with CS, and taped it on with surgical tape for The night. This one, because it was deeper, took longer to heal.... But sure enough, heal it did. CS has never failed me. I count, and will always count on it. When I travel, written instructions on how to use it are left behind too, for the pet sitters.... It is truly, an amazing product.

Do you use it internally, Caroline, with yourself and/or your cats?

And does anyone use the machine to make their own?
