AlfaSilver Wound Treatment Spray

Product Information

The past few decades have seen a renewed interest in silver as a topical antimicrobial agent. Silver sulfadiazine (SSD) is a very widely used silver formulation, especially in burns. More recently, dressing with nanocrystalline silver has been developed. These novel dressings release silver ions into the wound in a sustained fashion. But before you make an appointment with your conventional veterinarian, think about using a holistic and natural cure instead. Colloidal silver for dogs has proven effective for many minor and several more serious health conditions often costing hundreds of dollars to treat at the local vet’s office. Silver has long been known for its antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties

While the silver ion is a very powerful bactericidal agent, it also has toxic systemic and local effects. The systemic toxic effects are due to silver absorption through the wound, leading to argyria, which manifests as irreversible gray skin discoloration and loss of night vision. 13– 15 However, systemic toxicity is rare because serum silver is rapidly excreted in urine and feces. 14 Compare healing with nanocrystalline silver versus non-silver-containing dressings for lower-extremity venous ulcers Numerous case studies have found that silver intake from colloidal silver dietary supplements may lead to argyria ( 15, 16, 17). Silver spray is made from a solution of colloidal silver. This solution is often used in various health and wellness products for small and large animals. The silver particles in the colloidal silver have antimicrobial properties, making it useful in the treatment of wounds in horses. Since the 1990s, colloidal silver has started to regain popularity as an alternative medicine, with advocates claiming that it can replace antibiotics or other medical therapies to treat bacterial, viral, and fungal infections ( 7).Local toxicity is more common. Silver is cytotoxic to keratinocytes and fibroblasts, which are essential components of the healing process. However, this cytotoxicity most likely does not begin until the concentration of silver is above 60 ppm. The therapeutic range for silver to exhibit antibacterial properties is at least 30-40 ppm. Therefore, experts recommend a therapeutic range of greater than 30 ppm but no more than 60 ppm silver ion concentration and sustaining this concentration for several days to avoid the development of silver resistance. 3 Conclusion According to Scientific Research and Essay Vol. 2 (8), pp. 338-341, August 2007, “Antibacterial efficacy of colloidal silver alone and in combination with other antibiotics on isolates from wound Infections” SSD slows healing, and should be avoided in wound care, including in burn treatment. In addition, it should not be used as the gold standard for burn research.

There has been dose dependent toxicity shown in animals causing death, weight loss, altered liver enzymes, and neurological effects,” adds Bullen. “Colloidal silver can also prevent the absorption of medications. A lot more research is necessary to ensure colloid silver can be used as an oral supplement.” There is a possibility that there can be a healing crisis in your dog when using natural cures. This is called the “Hex Effect”. While the toxic substances in your pet’s body are in a die-off phase in which they are being cycled out of the body, the disease may seem worse for a few days. As the disease-producing pathogens are being destroyed, they need to be removed from the body and the organs, and be eliminated properly via the bloodstream, urinary system and colon. Research suggests that the effects of colloidal silver vary depending on the size and shape of the particles of silver, as well as their concentration in a solution ( 8, 9, 10, 11). Colloidal silver for dogs who haven’t been properly diagnosed for certain conditions can have added implications, says Romine. For one, if the d og doesn’t have a bacterial infection and the inflammation is caused solely by an allergy, silver is unlikely to help.A smaller number of people go as far as to assert that it helps treat conditions like Lyme disease, tuberculosis, HIV, and even cancer. However, no research supports these claims. Silvet is the most popular silver spray for cats and dogs, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used on other animals. Our products are extremely versatile and are approved for use on a plethora of species, including rabbits, horses, and other domesticated animals. Also the same study indicated that the efficacy/killing-power of colloidal silver was not dependent on the concentration of colloidal silver either in 5ppm or 20ppm concentrations. Which is good news for those that are trying to reach 30ppm or greater concentrations.

The Silverguard Silver Spray Wound Care's high-end materials make sure that it ages well with use. The silverguard silver spray wound care is made with pure organic aloe vera and it is great for superior quality. Silverguard, on the other hand, is formulated using nanoparticles of colloidal silver which are able to stay on your hands for hours. And, the care is the perfect solution for a carry - around spot treatment, aiding healing activity to soothe any number of skin problems. Consumption of colloidal silver is associated with many serious health risks, such as argyria, neurological damage, and liver and kidney harm. It also reduces the absorption and efficacy of certain drugs, such as antibiotics and the thyroid medication thyroxine ( 1, 4, 5). When Silvet is applied to a wound, it directs positively charged silver ions towards the wound's surface. These ions are regularly released to decrease matrix metalloproteinase activity. This, in turn, decreases bacteria and allows the body to heal without the pressure of simultaneously expelling toxins. Shake the silver spray bottle well and hold it 4-6 inches away from the wound. Spray the affected body tissue until it is thoroughly coated. Make sure you get the spray into the depths of the horse wound if possible. Be careful not to over-apply the spray, as this can cause irritation. Step 3: Allow the Spray to Dry If you’d like to use a topical colloidal silver product on your dog, here are a few points to consider.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. Silver Wound Spray is made up of colloidal silver mixed with demineralized water and can be an aerosol or a gel. It is safe to apply to horses and can be applied on the skin and even on the sole/hoof of a horse. This horse spray helps to prevent bacterial contamination in wounds. It helps to keep the wound clean and reduces the risk of complications, such as abscesses or sepsis. By preventing infections, the silver wound spray helps to ensure that the healing process is as smooth and straightforward as possible. The reduction of topical antibiotics use is essential in the fight against antibiotic resistance. When used appropriately, silver has the potential to replace topical antibiotics for certain wound care situations. Therefore, it is important that health care professionals stay up to date on the guidelines for silver use in wound care to promote optimal wound healing for their patients. Most antibiotics and steroids being given to our dogs are doing very little to actually heal them. They just suppress the immune system (which is only trying to do its job) until the next episode. Later the disease reappears in a worse form, wreaking more havoc with your dog’s delicate system.
