Is Colloidial Silver an Option For Your Pets?

With so many supplements out on the market, it's hard to decipher which are good, which are bad, and which ones even make any difference at all.

Colloidal silver is a supplement that I've been taking for years, since university in fact. I am unsure if this is what keeps me healthy, or if it's a combination of the all the healthy things I do with my lifestyle, but I am very very rarely ever sick.

Colloidal silver touts itself to relieve spinal pain, osteoporosis, arthritis, nerves & stress, blood circulatory cleanser, eyes, conjunctivitis, ears (wash ear twice/day), canker, sinus, muscle & joints, bones & ligaments, colds, allergens, pollution, and skin problems.

It will also kill off all germs, viruses, bacteria, allergens & pathogens. By putting it in your pets water bowl, the silver ions will hunt down the invaders and deprive them of oxygen, killing them. Dose 1 teaspoon per cup of water daily for 10 days.

Colloidal silver can be administered orally, in the eyes (for eye allergies, conjunctivitis, keratitis, etc. - Spray or drop 3 times daily in affected eye. Give orally as well 3 times daily for a minimum of 3 days or longer until condition has cleared up.), in the nose (for sinusitis), sprayed on wounds, it doesn't sting or burn, via IV, Subcue, in the ears, and nebulized into the lungs.

To nebulize, put into a nebulizer cup. Use an ultrasonic or micro air nebulizer and nebulize pet, person, or animal a minimum of 3 times daily for at least 15 to 20 minutes each time, longer if possible for active asthma, bronchial, pneumonia, or respiratory anthrax symptoms. Give orally 4 times daily as well.

Apparently, because of the physiological differences of warm blooded mammals and those of fish, amphibians and reptiles; it is necessary to create two very different formulas. One for warm blooded mammals and the other for cold blooded amphibians, reptiles and 'water breathing' fish with gills.

It is essential that silver is colloidal, meaning it has a particle size of .01 to .001 microns in diameter. A particle of silver larger than these specifications can lose its anti-bacterial effect.

I could not find different formulations to offer you, but I have included an option for exotic pets that are mammals below, as this product is for humans.

Of course, always do your own research, and even ask your vet what they think about supplementing your pet's diet with silver.
