AlfaSilver Wound Treatment Spray

Product Information

How does all this translate to our canine family members? Is colloidal silver safe for dogs or even effective? What about topical colloidal silver, which medical experts s ay has some potential uses? This allows silver ions to pass into bacterial cells, where they interfere with metabolic processes and damage DNA, leading to the cell’s death ( 8, 9, 10). I cannot stress enough that skin-symptoms typically manifest from a form of imbalance in the body. This could be from excess cortisol levels due to stress, running in the system for a prolonged period or simply environmental changes like cold winds that cause cold sores. Basically anything that is causing your immune system to be disturbed will make you more susceptible to infections and allergy symptoms.

I recommend a raw diet to help boost their natural ability to heal and thrive. Diet is the foundation and cornerstone of natural healing. Do not overlook this aspect of your dogs holistic health regime. Every year horses die because owners delay calling a vet ….FACT! I'm not worried about the wounds like the one in the picture below, you'd have to be a bit bananas not to call a vet to deal with that. I'm far more worried about the smaller wounds that perhaps look more innocent. The most deadly wounds we see are never the most dramatic, these are the wounds involving joints and tendon sheaths, often smaller than your finger nail or the wounds when the horse also has a fracture. If in doubt phone us. We exist to help you with your horse, we're a valuable resource of information and can help you do the right thing for your horse. You are most at risk of argyria if you’re taking a silver-containing dietary supplement or work in a job that exposes you to large amounts of silver ( 14). I use it all over the house as a disinfecting spray to keep the dog and puppy area clean. Since I am a raw feeder I use it for clean up after cutting up the meat for the carnivores in the household. It’s also good for disinfecting your pet bowls, leashes, harness. etc. We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

Even then, its benefits are widely debated ( 1, 13). Summary Another perk is that silver spray is safe and gentle on the horse’s skin. Unlike some other wound care products, the horse spray does not contain harsh chemicals or irritants that can damage the horse’s skin. Instead, it is gentle and non-irritating. This makes the product a safe option for equines with sensitive skin. Therefore, the ideal silver-containing dressing would maintain a sustained (several days), therapeutic (≥30ppm) silver ion concentration in the wound without causing systemic or local (≤60ppm) silver toxicity. Today, those who use colloidal silver take it as an oral dietary supplement or apply it directly to their skin. Summary

While the silver ion has great antimicrobial and bactericidal properties, it is also toxic to fibroblasts when present in high concentration. 1, 16, 17 Injudicious use of silver-containing dressings can lead to impaired wound healing. 45 It is imperative, therefore, that guidelines be developed on the proper use of silver-containing dressings.

Premium quality Colloidal Silver products made by Active Silver in the UK, in our purpose -built laboratory To develop argyria, you likely have to ingest silver compounds over a long period of time. However, the exact amounts and timeframe aren’t known ( 14). The Sovereign Silver Silver Spray Wound Care is long-lasting, rigid and fits well with your daily usage like a dream. The sovereign silver silver spray wound care has one teaspoon, is used for yeast infections and it is great for the immune system. The manufacturer says: Silver is inherently built into breastmilk, so from our very first moments, immune support is passed from mother to baby. The tiny particles in bio - active silver hydrosol are so powerful, a little goes a long way.

Further, silver nanoparticles and silver ions that are ingested can accumulate in your organs. Prolonged use of and exposure to colloidal silver may lead to a condition known as argyria, which results in your skin turning blue-gray due to a buildup of silver ( 8, 12).There is a wide range of ppm (parts per million) of colloidal silver on the market. Ours in 20 ppm, which is perfect for pets. The real risks of ingesting silver nanoparticles, which are present in colloidal silver products, are also unknown. However, since these particles may easily pass into various organs like your gut, skin, or lungs, they’re considered a probable health risk ( 11). For cold sores it tends to take a little longer to go away, but if you do it say 5 times a day it should start to dry up and get crusty within 2 days. Colloidal silver can be given orally, or applied topically with a sprayer, or dabbed on with a gauze pad or cotton ball. It can be dropped into the eyes with an eye dropper or squirted into the ears with an oral syringe to help treat and heal. It is so versatile; it works on many different health problems in dogs.

And as previously mentioned, colloidal silver can result in a condition called argyria, where the skin turns a grayish blue, adds Romine. Additionally, “Given orally, it can lower the effectiveness of drugs prescribed in dogs such as tetracyclines, penicillamine, levothyroxine,” she says. SSD contains silver, glycols, alcohols, and sulfadiazine (an antibiotic). 1 SSD has been found to release an extremely high initial silver concentration into the wound (up to 3,176ppm), 17 which rapidly decreases to below therapeutic levels. SSD can therefore have high local toxicity, without providing the sustained silver levels necessary for microbicidal activity. In addition, propylene glycol, which is part of the SSD formulation, is known to cause bone marrow toxicity and leukopenia. 5, 18 It is absolutely necessary that at this time, your dog has the best species appropriate-diet and fresh filtered water always available, and is encouraged to drink as much as possible. The method I recommend to all my customers, when treating an acute condition, is this: colloidal silver should be given 5-7 times a day if possible. This is what I call “going after the offending pathogen aggressively”. When there is a situation that needs immediate attention, give higher doses and give them more frequently. Unlike drugs, your dog is not going to overdose on colloidal silver. It has no known side effects for dogs. Typically, colloidal silver products are sold as homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy is based on the premise that very low doses of a substance can produce health benefits, though little research supports this ( 7).There is some evidence to support colloidal silver as a topical treatment for wound management in dogs, says Bullen. “There are in vitro studies on the effect of colloidal silver as an antibiotic,” she says. “One study found colloidal silver had no bactericidal (kills bacteria) activity while another found some minimal bactericidal effects after multiple treatments. More research is necessary to prove its efficacy.”
