Cat's Urinary Infection - Gone in a Day

One of our two cats (Cricket) developed a urinary infection. She was peeing in inappropriate places (which she had never done before), including the dogs' beds.  Apart from the fact that Cricket would've been very uncomfortable, the first thing that needed to be stopped was the peeing in wrong places.  When a cat has a urinary or bladder infection, the pee is even more odourous than usual.  

Cricket was subdued and straining to pee, and there was a small amount of blood in the urine. When I phoned the vet, they told me it would take about a week for antibiotics to kick in properly, and I couldn't wait that long for a) the peeing to stop and b) Cricket to feel better.  Plus, antibiotics can have side-effects in cats just as they do for humans.

I have a colloidal silver generator and I gave Cricket a 2ml oral dose via a plastic syringe straight into the mouth in the morning, early evening and again around midnight. By the next day, the blood had disappeared from her urine, and she'd stopped peeing in inappropriate places. Still a little subdued, so I continued dosing her for about a week, decreasing the dosage to two times a day, same amount.

Why did she get the infection in the first place? Both cats get the 'best' cat food money can buy. They are strong and glossy-coated, and ready to play, eat and sleep as healthy cats should. Their environment is clean and they get plenty of exercise.  Turns out that bladder or urinary infections are more often caused by dehydration than anything else.  And dehydration can be caused by feeding cats/dogs dry food. Our cats were getting a mixture of both wet and dry, and sometimes just dry food.  Cats get most of their water requirement from their food, NOT from drinking water from a bowl.  

I stopped giving our cats any type of dry (kibble) food.  A few months later, however, I gave both cats a little dry food just for a change, and immediately Cricket started peeing in the wrong places again. No blood this time, as I think I gave her the silver again before it developed too far.  Lesson learned - wet food only, at all times.  Cricket hasn't had a problem since.

So what is Colloidal Silver (or Silver Colloid)?

Colloids are the smallest biological form of any matter.  They are small enough to pass through membranes and therefore they skip past the digestive process and are easily absorbed by the body. 

There are many benefits of colloidal silver.  Colloidal silver supports the natural defence system of the body and is powerfully alkaline.  It is created when an electromagnetic process pulls tiny particles of silver from a larger samole of pure silver into (usually distilled) water.   The minute electric charge on each atom holds these silver particles in suspension.  This is essential to the effectiveness of the silver as it allows the particles to move more easily throughout the body.

Another benefit is that colloidal silver has been recognised as a powerful, natural antibiotic.  Research has shown that it works by acting as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that single-celled bacteria, fungi and viruses require for the metabolism of oxygen.  This then suffocates the invading cell whilst doing no harm to any human enzymes, resulting in the removal of disease-causing organisms from the body.

It also works through the negative charge on the silver clusters binding up with the positive charge on the germ/bacteria.  This causes an interruption of the germs biological function which means that it is then unable to reproduce.

Colloidal silver has long been the subject of hot debate in medical circles.  In the 19th Century, colloidal silver was used prominently to treat all manner of illness and disease ranging from skin infections to common colds.  In the United States, this common use continued until 1983, when the FDA started its long and heavy oppression against the use of medicinal silver.  Arguably its disdain for silver's use in medicine came from the threat that it poses to the highly lucrative antibiotics industry.  Up until recently, any silver-based products had to be classified as a pre-1938 drug.  However, now that the FDA has begun to approve of medicinal silver, more and more products are emerging. 

Colloidal silver has been reputed by various studies to be able to kill over 650 micro-organisms. It has been reported to be effective in fighting against: acne, AIDS, allergies, arthritis, athletes foot, boils, burns, candida, cystitis, diabetes, eczema, hay fever, indigestion, parasitic infections, psoriasis, ringworm, warts and yeast infections.

It can be used either orally or topically. When taken orally you can either place droplets directly under the tongue or it can be put into water and drunk. Silver is often used topically by spraying onto cuts, burns, skin infections or acne.

***Note:  In the case of the cat mentioned in my previous blog, she was given a larger dose orally using a plastic syringe. The exact dose is unknown, but using a syringe to administer orally indicates the dose was given by the millilitre, rather than 'drops'.

Curing Pyometra - without a vet

From a friend in New Zealand....


My friend (let's call him 'John'), heard about a female cat who was suffering Pyometra. Very nasty condition which requires immediate evacuation of pus inside the womb and spaying. If the condition isn't treated in time, the cat will die.  If the cat has surgery, this can cost a fortune and the cat can never breed again.


John (a natural therapist) recommended a large dose of colloidal silver 2-3 times per day for 3 weeks.  The cat not only quickly recovered from the condition completely, but she went on to give birth to a litter of 4 very healthy kittens!
