Subject: re:bacterial infection
(this is another answer, added to the professional one given by Dr.
Williams regarding this...(quote)> "The infection started
approximately 4 months ago in the
3rd eyelid of the left eye. At that point he was put on
broad spectrum antibiotics and eyedrops. These
included:Chloramphenicol, Augmentin, Atropine drops,
Gentamycine drops, Tetracyclyine, Terramycine ointment,
Biaxin. Despite these, the infection worsened and spread
to the other eye. At 2 1/2 months a biopsy was done on a
piece of the left third eye which came back as
"unspecified bacterial infection."...(end quote)
I have had all our now 28 ( 2 adopted-out) ferrets, 1 dog, 8 cats, 1
rat, 1 rabbit and 14 white doves on small amounts (2 drops per water-
container-full) of COLLOIDAL SILVER (any brand, but "advance"
and "Silver Wings" have been reliable) every day for the last year
and a half. No bacterial infections of any sort. When we had a high
mold-spore count and several of the critters and myself had itching
and runny eyes from the fungus, a few drops of the colloidal silver
in the eyes helped each of us immediately. It cannot be mutated
against. It does not react to Nor interfere with the actions of any
other medication, because it's Just an ion-charged MINERAL which so-
happens to attach to bacteria and fungi and destroy them without the
least harm to any living tissue. I know all I felt when I put some in
my own eyes was relief.
It does not work on viruses at all because the virus particles are
much too much smaller than bacteria and there's not yet been devised
a way to create ion-charged silver particles as tiny as a virus.
Also please go back over and pay attention to what Dr. Williams said
about parasites.
For all the viral, parasitic, mites, and so forth we take our
critters to our veterinarian's assiduously and mind all he says, for
stuff like the colloidal silver, he's already said it does no harm
and added "hey, whatever works!" :)
