Antibiotic Alternatives

You can get a prescription for an antibiotic to treat anything from acne to yeast infections. If you research at all, you already know that conventional antibiotics can be ineffective when treating some hybrid super bugs, like MRSA for example. There has to be some choices for us, but what are they? If you are like me, you grew up with penicillin, amoxicillin and all the other “cillins”. There are alternatives to antibiotics? You bet.

The first alternative is to not get sick in the first place. We were created to live a very long time without dealing with illness. Over time with our “give it to me now” lifestyles, many artificial and toxic products have been introduced into much of what we consume. This has allowed our bodies to become toxic, sick, beaten down and worn out. When we continue to overuse antibiotics and other prescription drugs we compound the problem and make ourselves sicker. What do you do if you get sick without adding to the problem?

One choice is colloidal silver, like The New Silver Solution. Colloidal silver is extremely small particles of silver suspended in water. Independent research has determined it has no known side effects and has the ability to kills over 650 strains of bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and mold (including the super bug MRSA). Some of the more common strains of bacteria that are associated with the following ailments and that can benefit you and I are, skin, respiratory, sinus and urinary tract infections, strep throat, pneumonia, food poisoning, and meningitis. The New Silver Solution is patented and certified safe by the EPA. It can determine the difference between good and bad bacteria and therefore doesn’t wipe out good bacteria thus leaving your body vulnerable to new infection.

I have used colloidal silver for some time now for a variety of ailments affecting myself and my family. It is safe for use on pets as well. Testimonials are plentiful by clicking here. Please don’t take my word for this completely, below are some links that will provide additional information on colloidal silver.

My Old Dog

My oldest dog is going senile.

I am a very devoted dog owner.  My dogs are special to me and have been spoiled, perhaps even more than my children.  My husband tells me both dogs have very strange personalities and I try not to take that too personal.  They are his step dogs having come to him as a package deal with me.  Now keep in mind he doesn’t treat them like step dogs, in fact I think they both like him better than me.  So now you know who does all the spoiling.  But I digress.

Back to the subject, my oldest dog is going on thirteen and I believe she is now senile.  She still has a spring in her step, runs like a puppy, and plays with the younger dog.  She shows some signs of aging, sleeping more often and more soundly, has “gray” in her coat, and a blur in her eyes.  But it’s her behavior that concerns me.  She stares at the door for long periods of time in anticipation of someone arriving, even when the family is home and accounted for.  Today I discovered her very intently staring out the window.  Only problem was the blinds were drawn completely.  What did she see?  At night when it’s time to go to bed, she wanders from room to room trying to remember where she sleeps even though she has always slept with my son.  She goes to the door asking to go outside, then when you open it, she turns around and walks away.  She does this repeatedly over and over.  At first I thought she was intentionally trying to drive us crazy (she can be like that), but now I am convinced the issue is within her mind.

We joke about her behavior, but truly my heart is breaking.  It’s devastating to lose anyone close whether it’s family, friend or pet, but watching the deterioration of a loved one adds an additional dimension to the inevitable.  This dog chewed up more than her share of my belongings when she was a puppy.  I have spent endless hours with this crazy dog unsuccessfully trying to get her over an irrational fear of thunder, the wind and strangers.  This dog has embarrassed me dozens of times with her futile attempts at mating with all the neighbor kids legs.  This dog who has been my devoted and loyal companion, who I have loved unconditionally, even though I have told her otherwise many times, will at some point in the not too distant future be joining the other family, friends and pets who have passed on from this life.
