Hi everyone, just thought I would give my input on Collodial Silver. When I first found out about it I was big fan, mostly because my friend was and swore of its "power" to heal. Now I really like it for the ECE virus, I have found it does great things, but I would not use it on an everyday basis. I have heard of animals developing a Silver toxicity from it and dieing. I think it is good for some things, but not for everything. I have study herbs and holistic medicaine now for 6 months, which is not to long, but I have found out some great information. I have found better and safer things to help the ferrets, including a homeopathis remedy that seems to help with the ECE virus. Herbs, homeopathy, flower esscences and even gem stone healing has a lot of positve and safe healing powers on us as well as animals. As with Colloidal you need to read and study before you start to give these remedies, but it is worth it. I havemy adrenal (cushings) ferrets all on Licorice root, which works on the adrenal glands and simulates the adrenal hormone ACTH,. Got in early stages of cushings I have seen it reversed and after surgery it seems to help balance the ferrets and keeps them going strong. Anyway, any holistic medicine if it works sure beats drugs, but still I always consult my veterinarian when it is serious and we work together. So do not rule out Colloidals benefits, but do not depend on it as a cure all, and be safe as with any medication. If any one wants info. on what I have learned about holistic healing just e-mail me.I do not know it all, but I know a good bit. Take care and kisses to everyones fuzzies. [Posted in FML issue 1516]
