Colloidal silver brand recommendation

Hello,

Could someone who uses colloidal silver topically, e.g., for ringworm, recommend a brand and strength?

Thanks!

I can't help you with colloidal silver but I would urge you to supplement that with a known and safe anti-fungal ointment like Lotrimin which is specific for ringworm and safe used topically.  If you use it where a cat might lick it, just rub it in well using latex or non-latex gloves.

Thank you for the note. My cat doesn't actually have ringworm. Based on a number of posts on this forum, colloidal silver sounded like a useful solution to have around in addition to more conventional medications. I wouldn't rely on it as the first course of action, as you have correctly recommended.

There are a lot of fans of colloidal silver on TCS so i'm surprised you didn't get more replies.  Here is a link to a thread on the subject generally.  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/246886/colloidal-silver

There are 2 camps with colloidal silver.  The group that thinks its a cure all and that the mainstream world is in a conspiracy against it and the group that thinks it is snake oil.  Wikipedia has an article on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_uses_of_silver
