Nano Silver is a 100% natural bacterial killer. Think of it... Most illnesses are caused by bacteria. Silver has been used from the 1800's by travelers to keep their drinking water pure and clean (They dropped some silver coins in the water when traveling long distances).

What are you currently spending on antibiotics per annum?

SoftSpot Nano Silver will help with all known bacterial infections, fungi and some viral infections by strengthening your immune system.

Here is a short list of conditions for which Nano Silver will help:

• Colds,

• Flu,

• Burns,

• Acne,

• Ear Infections,

• Sinus,

• Herpes

Why don't doctors then make use of this alternative?
The answer is as simple as Will Fitzpatrick put it.

We at SoftSpot Solutions don’t say that SoftSpot Nano Silver is the Silver bullet, the alpha and omega. Silver has been around for ages, helping travelers to keep their drinking water fresh by adding a couple of silver coins into it. It is also known for its ability to kill all bacteria, funguses and some viruses. It all depends on the size of the Silver Nano particle. If it is smaller than the bacteria or virus, it will kill it.

The only question to ask is “Why using Anti-Biotics if there is a Natural, Cheaper way for boosting your immune system?”

SoftSpot Nano Silver is pure Silver Nano Particles in Distilled water. No Silver Sulphates are present. All we say:

·         Don’t stop your current medication,

·         Include 10ml SoftSpot Silver 3 times per day until asymptomatic,

·         For prevention take 10ml SoftSpot Silver twice per day.

·         Start next time early with SoftSpot Silver before going the Anti-Biotic route.

Don’t take SoftSpot Nano Silver while under Chemo therapy.
Colloidal silver may interfere with the body's absorption of the following drugs: Penacillamine, Quinolones, Tetracyclines, and Thyroxine.

We also may not promote Silver as a replacement for Anti-Biotics…but as an Immune system booster. Please read this document with an open mind. All conditions in this document are related to Bacterial infection.

SoftSpot Nano Silver is non-toxic.

Below is a list of conditions that has been treated with Colloidal Silver all around the world.
All of them, caused by Bacteria, Funguses or Viruses.

ABSCESS (internal), surgical intervention may be required, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X per day for 4 days, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X per day until cleared. (External), surgical intervention may be required, spray SoftSpot Silver on affected and surrounding area 2 x daily. Continue until clear.
An abscess (Latin: abscessus) is a collection of pus (dead neutrophils) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue on the basis of an infectious process (usually caused by bacteria or parasites) or other foreign materials (e.g. splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles). It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body.

The organisms or foreign materials kill the local cells, resulting in the release of toxins. The toxins trigger an inflammatory response, which draws large numbers of white blood cells to the area and increases the regional blood flow.

The final structure of the abscess is an abscess wall, or capsule, that is formed by the adjacent healthy cells in an attempt to keep the pus from infecting neighbouring structures. However, such encapsulation tends to prevent immune cells from attacking bacteria in the pus, or from reaching the causative organism or foreign object.

Abscesses must be differentiated from emphysemas, which are accumulations of pus in a pre-existing rather than a newly formed anatomical cavity.

ACIDOSIS (external), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Continue until cleared.
Acidosis is an increased acidity (i.e. an increased hydrogen ion concentration). If not further qualified, it refers to acidity of the blood plasma.

Acidosis is said to occur when arterial pH falls below 7.35, while its counterpart (alkalosis) occurs at a pH over 7.45. Arterial blood gas analysis and other tests are required to separate the main causes.

The term acidemia describes the state of low blood pH, while acidosis is used to describe the processes leading to these states. Nevertheless, physicians sometimes use the terms interchangeably. The distinction may be relevant where a patient has factors causing both acidosis and alkalosis, where the relative severity of both determines whether the result is a high or a low pH.

The rate of cellular metabolic activity affects and, at the same time, is affected by the pH of the body fluids. In mammals, the normal pH of arterial blood lies between 7.35 and 7.50 depending on the species (e.g. healthy human-arterial blood pH varies between 7.35 and 7.45). Blood pH values compatible with life in mammals are limited to a pH range between 6.8 and 7.8. Changes in the pH of arterial blood (and therefore the extra cellular fluid) outside this range result in irreversible cell damage (Needham, 2004).

ACNE, most forms of acne is helped with silver usage. (Chemical exposure or food allergy induced acne is not responsive to silver usage. Nor are androgen-estrogen imbalance). 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 4 days, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic.
Acne vulgaris (commonly called acne) is a skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in non inflammatory forms. Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots, zits, or acne.

Acne is most common during adolescence, affecting more than 85% of teenagers, and frequently continues into adulthood.  For most people, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear—or at the very least decrease—after one reaches his or her early twenties. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will continue to suffer well into their thirties, forties and beyond.

The face and upper neck are the most commonly affected, but the chest, back and shoulders may have acne as well. The upper arms can also have acne, but lesions found there are often keratosis pilaris, not acne. Typical acne lesions are comedowns, inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules. Some of the large nodules were previously called "cysts" and the term nodulocystic has been used to describe severe cases of inflammatory acne.

Aside from scarring, its main effects are psychological, such as reduced self-esteem and, according to at least one study, depression or suicide. Acne usually appears during adolescence, when people already tend to be most socially insecure. Early and aggressive treatment is therefore advocated by some to lessen the overall impact to individuals.

ACRODYNIA, (usually systemic virus in infants), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 4 days, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic.
Fungus causing pink disease in citrus and coffee and rubber trees.

ACTINIC BURNS, (from sun, x-rays, UV light), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day, spray SoftSpot Silver to burn area 2 X daily until asymptomatic.

ADENOFIBROMA, Skin Cancer (often caused by staph infections), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily, 3-6 months, until asymptomatic.
Dense, fibrous connective tissue with interspersed glandular spaces

ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome), oxygen therapy plus 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily during crisis, 5 ml daily indefinitely.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), also known as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or adult respiratory distress syndrome (in contrast with IRDS) is a serious reaction to various forms of injuries to the lung.

ARDS is a severe lung disease caused by a variety of direct and indirect issues. It is characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma leading to impaired gas exchange with concomitant systemic release of inflammatory mediators causing inflammation, hypoxemia and frequently resulting in multiple organ failure. This condition is often lethal, usually requiring mechanical ventilation and admission to an intensive care unit. A less severe form is called acute lung injury (ALI).

ARDS formerly most commonly signified adult respiratory distress syndrome to differentiate it from infant respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants. However, as this type of pulmonary edema also occurs in children, ARDS has gradually shifted to mean acute rather than adult. The differences with the typical infant syndrome remain.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily as an adjunct with regular treatment of this disease indefinitely. Silver will only boost the immune system. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a set of symptoms and infections resulting from the damage to the human immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This condition progressively reduces the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumours. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk. This transmission can involve anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

AIDS is now a pandemic. In 2007, an estimated 33.2 million people lived with the disease worldwide, and it killed an estimated 2.1 million people, including 330,000 children. Over three-quarters of these deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, retarding economic growth and destroying human capital. Most researchers believe that HIV originated in sub-Saharan Africa during the twentieth century. AIDS was first recognized by the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in 1981 and its cause, HIV, identified by American and French scientists in the early 1980s.

Although treatments for AIDS and HIV can slow the course of the disease, there is currently no vaccine or cure. Antiretroviral treatment reduces both the mortality and the morbidity of HIV infection, but these drugs are expensive and routine access to antiretroviral medication is not available in all countries. Due to the difficulty in treating HIV infection, preventing infection is a key aim in controlling the AIDS epidemic, with health organizations promoting safe sex and needle-exchange programmes in attempts to slow the spread of the virus.

ALLERGIES/INFECTIONS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day, 4 to 8 days, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until asymptomatic.
Allergy is a disorder of the immune system often also referred to as atopy. Allergic reactions occur to environmental substances known as allergens; these reactions are acquired, predictable and rapid. Strictly, allergy is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and is called type I (or immediate) hypersensitivity. It is characterized by excessive activation of certain white blood cells called mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody known as IgE, resulting in an extreme inflammatory response. Common allergic reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bees.

Mild allergies like hay fever are highly prevalent in the human population and cause symptoms such as allergic conjunctivitis, itchiness, and runny nose. Allergies can play a major role in conditions such as asthma. In some people, severe allergies to environmental or dietary allergens or to medication may result in life-threatening anaphylactic reactions and potentially death.

A variety of tests now exist to diagnose allergic conditions; these include testing the skin for responses to known allergens or analyzing the blood for the presence and levels of allergen-specific IgE. Treatments for allergies include allergen avoidance, use of anti-histamines, steroids or other oral medications, immunotherapy to desensitize the response to allergen, and targeted therapy.

An infection is the detrimental colonization of a host organism by a foreign species. In an infection, the infecting organism seeks to utilize the host's resources to multiply (usually at the expense of the host). The infecting organism, or pathogen, interferes with the normal functioning of the host and can lead to chronic wounds, gangrene, loss of an infected limb, and even death. The host's response to infection is inflammation. Colloquially, a pathogen is usually considered a microscopic organism though the definition is broader, including parasites, fungi, viruses, prions, and viroids. A symbiosis between parasite and host, whereby the relationship is beneficial for the former but detrimental to the latter, is characterised as parasitism. The branch of medicine that focuses on infections and pathogens is infectious disease.

A secondary infection is an infection that occurs during or following treatment of another already existing primary infection.

ALOPECIA (hair loss) if dandruff, rash, or sores on scalp - usually staph or viral infection, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 30 days. Spray SoftSpot Silver on hair; rub into scalp one hour before shampooing daily.
Alopecia or hair loss is the medical description of the loss of hair from the head or body, sometimes to the extent of baldness. Unlike the common cosmetic depilation of body hair, alopecia tends to be involuntary and unwelcome, e.g., androgenic alopecia. However, it may also be caused by a psychological compulsion to pull out one's own hair (trichotillomania) or the unforeseen consequences of voluntary hairstyling routines (mechanical "traction alopecia" from excessively tight ponytails or braids, or burns to the scalp from caustic hair relaxer solutions or hot hair irons).

In some cases, alopecia is an indication of an underlying medical concern, such as iron deficiency.

When hair loss occurs in only one section, it is known as alopecia areata. Alopecia universalis is when complete hair loss on the body occurs, similar to how hair loss associated with chemotherapy sometimes affects the entire body.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease) Most always a virus. 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days. Reduce to 10 ml per day for 14 - 28 days. Then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, sometimes called Maladie de Charcot, or, in the United States, Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a progressive, usually fatal, neurodegenerative disease caused by the degeneration of motor neurons, the nerve cells in the central nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. As a motor neuron disease, the disorder causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body as both the upper and lower motor neurons degenerate, ceasing to send messages to muscles. Unable to function, the muscles gradually weaken, develop fasciculations (twitches) because of denervation, and eventually atrophy because of that denervation. The patient may ultimately lose the ability to initiate and control all voluntary movement except for the eyes.

Cognitive function is generally spared except in certain situations such as when ALS is associated with front temporal dementia. However, there are reports of more subtle cognitive changes of the front temporal type in many patients when detailed neuropsychological testing is employed. Sensory nerves and the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions like sweating, generally remain functional.
Scientists have not found a definitive cause for ALS and the onset of the disease has been linked to several factors, including: a virus; exposure to neurotoxins or heavy metals; DNA defects; immune system abnormalities; and enzyme abnormalities. Surgeries involving the spinal cord have also been thought to play a role in the onset of ALS due to the disruption of nerve fibres. There is a known hereditary factor in familial ALS (FALS); however, there is no known hereditary component in the 90-95% cases diagnosed as sporadic ALS. An inherited genetic defect on chromosome 21 is associated with approximately 20% of familial cases of ALS. This mutation is believed to be autosomal dominant. The children of those diagnosed with familial ALS have a higher risk factor for developing the disease; however, those who have close family members diagnosed with sporadic ALS have no greater a risk factor than the general population .

Some causative factors have been suggested for the increased incidence in the western Pacific. Prolonged exposure to a dietary neurotoxin called BMAA is one suspected risk factor in Guam; the neurotoxin is a compound found in the seed of the cycad Cycas circinalis, a tropical plant found in Guam, which was used in the human food supply during the 1950s and early 1960s.

The very high incidence of the disease among Italian soccer players (more than five times higher than normally expected) has raised the concern of a possible link between the disease and the use of pesticides on the soccer fields.

According to the ALS Association, military veterans are at an increased risk of contracting ALS. In its report ALS in the Military, the group pointed to an almost 60% greater chance of the disease in military veterans than the general population. For Gulf War veterans, the chance is seen as twice that of veterans not deployed to the Persian Gulf in a joint study by the Veterans Affairs Administration and the DOD.

Dietary intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) has been shown in several studies to decrease the risk of developing ALS  

AMEBIASIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days, then 5 ml 2 x daily.
Amoebiasis, or Amebiasis is caused by the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica. A gastrointestinal infection that may or may not be symptomatic and can remain latent in an infected person for several years, amoebiasis is estimated to cause 70,000 deaths per year world wide. Symptoms can range from mild diarrhoea to dysentery with blood and mucus in the stool.

E. histolytica is usually a commensal organism. Severe amoebiasis infections (known as invasive or fulminant amoebiasis) occur in two major forms. Invasion of the intestinal lining causes "amoebic dysentery" or "amoebic colitis". If the parasite reaches the bloodstream it can spread through the body, most frequently ending up in the liver where it causes "amoebic liver abscesses". When no symptoms are present, the infected individual is still a carrier, able to spread the parasite to others through poor hygienic practices. While symptoms at onset can be similar to bacillary dysentery, amoebiasis is not bacteriological in origin and treatments differ, although both infections can be prevented by good sanitary practices.

ANGIOLARDITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 12 days, then 5 ml daily until asymptomatic.

AORTITIS, (common cause of Aortic Aneurysm), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver daily for 16 days, then 5 ml 2 X per day. (Always suspect aortitis in cardiac asthma).
Aortitis is the inflammation of the aorta. This inflammation has a number of possible causes, to include: trauma, viral infection, certain immune disorders, and bacterial infection (notably, syphilis).

ARBO VIRUSES, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver for 16 days, then 5 ml 2 X daily. (Children 7 years old, or older, use same dosage).
Arbovirus is a shortened name given to viruses that are transmitted by arthropods, or arthropod-borne viruses .

Some Arboviruses are able to cause emergent disease. Arthropods are able to transmit the virus upon biting allowing the virus to enter the bloodstream which can cause viraemia.The majority of the Arboviruses are spherical in shape although a few are rod shaped. They are 17-150 nm in diameter and all have a RNA genome. These viruses do not normally infect humans but if they do, they usually cause a mild infection such as a fever or a rash. Others however are epidemic and can cause serious infections such as meningitis and encephalitis that can be fatal.

There are ways of preventing these infections from occurring such as using mosquito repellents and getting rid of the breeding grounds that mosquitoes use. Insecticides can also be used. People can also reduce the risk of getting bitten by the mosquito by wearing protective clothing.The immune system plays a role in defense against the infections. Arboviruses usually stimulate interferon. Antibodies are made and these can prevent viraemia from occurring. The cell mediated immunity is also important.Arbovirus infections can be diagnosed by carrying out ELISA and PCR techniques. Complement fixation can also be used.

ARTHRITIS, (infection related), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver for 30 days, then 5 ml 2 x daily. If effective continue treatment, if not discontinue after 60 days.
Arthritis (from Greek arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation; plural: arthritides) is a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people older than fifty-five years.

There are different forms of arthritis; each has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease) is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Emerging evidence suggests that abnormal anatomy might contribute to the early development of osteoarthritis. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint, causing inflammation. There is also an uncommon form of gout caused by the formation of rhomboid crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. This gout is known as pseudogout.

 ASPERGILLOSIS (aspergillus infection [mold]). In bronchi, lungs, aureal canal, skin or the mucous membranes of the eye, nose or urethra, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 16 to 24 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally, when possible, to mucous membrane sites, skin, etc. 2 x daily.
Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. The most common forms are allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, pulmonary aspergilloma and invasive aspergillosis. Most humans inhale Aspergillus spores every day; aspergillosis develops mainly in immunocompromised individuals. The most common cause is Aspergillus fumigatus.

ASTHMA, (check for food allergies, especially eggs, shellfish, chocolate, dairy products, gluten, corn, and MSG). Infection, allergens, weaken heart muscle (cardia asthma or exercise asthma), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until clear.
Asthma is a chronic condition involving the respiratory system in which the airways occasionally constrict, become inflamed, and are lined with excessive amounts of mucus, often in response to one or more triggers. These episodes may be triggered by such things as exposure to an environmental stimulant such as an allergen, environmental tobacco smoke, cold or warm air, perfume, pet dander, moist air, exercise or exertion, or emotional stress. In children, the most common triggers are viral illnesses such as those that cause the common cold. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The airway constriction responds to bronchodilators. Between episodes, most patients feel well but can have mild symptoms and they may remain short of breath after exercise for longer periods of time than the unaffected individual. The symptoms of asthma, which can range from mild to life threatening, can usually be controlled with a combination of drugs and environmental changes.

Public attention in the developed world has recently focused on asthma because of its rapidly increasing prevalence, affecting up to one in four urban children.

ATAXIA, locomotor (central nervous system infection), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 16 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 60 to 90 days (SoftSpot Silver will not repair nerve damage, however, it will rid the body of the infection attacking the nerves resulting in no further degeneration).
Ataxia (from Greek α- [used as a negative prefix] + -τάξις [order], meaning "lack of order") is a neurological sign and symptom consisting of gross lack of coordination of muscle movements. Ataxia is an non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum. Several possible causes exist for these patterns of neurological dysfunction. The term "dystaxia" is rarely used as a synonym.

The International Ataxia Awareness Day is observed on September 25th each year.

ATHLETE'S FOOT, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until asymptomatic, and then use for an additional 30 days. Also apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily until asymptomatic, then use for an additional 30 days.
Athlete's foot, also called tinea pedis, is a parasitic fungal infection of the epidermis of the human foot. The term "athlete's foot" refers to the disease and not the organism (fungus) that causes it. Several different fungi, called dermatophytes, can cause tinea pedis. Moreover, a fungus species that causes athlete's foot can also cause, for example, jock itch (tinea cruris). It is typically caused by a mold (but in some cases a yeast) that grows on the surface of the skin and then into the living skin tissue itself, causing the infection. It usually occurs between the toes, but in severely lasting cases may appear as an extensive "moccasin" pattern on the bottom and sides of the foot. The malady more commonly affects males than females. Tinea pedis is estimated to be the second most common skin disease in the United States, after acne. Up to 15% of the U.S. population may have tinea pedis.

There are approximately ten times as many bacterial cells as human cells in the human body, with large numbers of bacteria on the skin and in the digestive tract. Although the vast majority of these bacteria are rendered harmless by the protective effects of the immune system, and a few are beneficial, some are pathogenic bacteria and cause infectious diseases, including cholera, syphilis, anthrax, leprosy and bubonic plague. The most common fatal bacterial diseases are respiratory infections, with tuberculosis alone killing about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. In developed countries, antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and in various agricultural processes, so antibiotic resistance is becoming common. In industry, bacteria are important in processes such as sewage treatment, the production of cheese and yoghurt through fermentation, as well as biotechnology, and the manufacture of antibiotics and other chemicals.

Once regarded as plants constituting the class Schizomycetes, bacteria are now classified as prokaryotes. Unlike cells of animals and other eukaryotes, bacterial cells do not contain a fully differentiated nucleus and rarely harbour membrane-bound organelles. Although the term bacteria traditionally included all prokaryotes, the scientific classification changed after the discovery in the 1990s that prokaryotic life consists of two very different groups of organisms that evolved independently from an ancient common ancestor. These evolutionary domains are called Bacteria and Archaea.

BARBER'S ITCH, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until cleared. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.
Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin.
Most carbuncles and furuncles and other cases of folliculitis develop from Staphylococcus aureus.

Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle, shaving or too tight braids too close to the scalp [traction folliculitis]. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).

Iron deficiency anemia is sometimes associated with chronic cases

• Tinea barbae is similar to barber's itch, but the infection is caused by the fungus T. rubrum.

• Malassezia folliculitis, formerly known as Pityrosporum folliculitis, is caused by malassezia yeast.

• Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a disorder occurring primarily in men of African descent. If curly beard hairs are cut too short, they may curve back into the skin and cause inflammation.

• Hot tub folliculitis is caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa often found in new hot tubs. The folliculitis usually occurs after sitting in a hot tub that was not properly cleaned before use. Symptoms are found around the body parts that sit in the hot tub -- typically the legs, hips, and buttocks and surrounding areas. Symptoms are typically amplified around regions that were covered by wet clothing, such as bathing suits.

• Sycosis barbae or Barber's itch is a staphylococcus infection of the hair follicles in the bearded area of the face, usually the upper lip. Shaving aggravates the condition.

• Eosinophilic folliculitis may appear in persons with impaired immunity (AIDS, blood disorders).

• Herpetic folliculitis may occur when Herpes Simplex Virus infection spreads to nearby hair follicles - mostly around the mouth. It typically ocurs in persons with AIDS.

• Gram negative folliculitis may appear after prolonged acne treatment with antibiotics.

• Folliculitis decalvans or tufted folliculitis usually affects scalp. Several hairs arise from the same hair follicle. Scarring and permanent hair loss may follow. The cause is unknown.

• Folliculitis keloidalis causes scars on the nape of the neck. It mostly occurs in black-colored males with curly hair.

• Oil folliculitis is inflammation of hair follicles due to exposure to various oils and typically occurs on forearms or thighs. It is common in refinery workers, road workers, mechanics, sheep shearers. Even makeup may cause it.

BED SORES, apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily to infection.
Bed sores, more properly known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers, are lesions caused by many factors such as: unrelieved pressure; friction; humidity; shearing forces; temperature; age; continence and medication; to any part of the body, especially portions over bony or cartilaginous areas such as sacrum, elbows, knees, ankles etc. Although easily prevented and completely treatable if found early, bedsores are often fatal -- even under the auspices of medical care -- and are one of the leading iatrogenic causes of death reported in developed countries, second only to adverse drug reactions.

BEHCET'S SYNDROME, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day (if mouth ulcers are present, have patient put SoftSpot Silver in 100 ml of water; use as a mouth wash and then swallow).
Behçet disease (Behçet's syndrome, Morbus Behçet, silk road disease) (IPA: /bɛˈtʃɛt/) (enPR: bĕCHĔT) is a chronic condition due to disturbances in the body’s immune system. This system, which normally protects the body against infections through controlled inflammation, becomes overactive and produces unpredictable outbreaks of exaggerated inflammation. This extra inflammation affects blood vessels, usually the small ones. As a result, symptoms occur wherever there is a patch of inflammation, and can be anywhere where there is a blood supply.

BITES (animal or human bites), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until healed. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.

BLEPHARITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Blepharitis (pronounced /blɛfərˈaɪtɪs/) is an ocular disease characterized by inflammation of the eyelid margins. Blepharitis may cause redness of the eyes, itching and irritation of the eyelids in one or both eyes. Its appearance is often confused with conjunctivitis and due to its recurring nature it is the most common cause of "recurrent conjunctivitis" in older people. It is also often mistaken for "dry eye" by patients due to the gritty sensation that may occur, however lubricating drops do little to improve the condition.
Seborrheic blepharitis, the most common type of blepharitis, is usually one part of the spectrum of seborrheic dermatitis which involves the scalp, lashes, eyebrows, nasolabial folds and ears. Treatment is best accomplished by a dermatologist.

Staphylococcal blepharitis

Staphlycoccal blepharitis is caused by infection of the anterior portion of the eyelid by Staphylococcal bacteria. As the infection progresses, the sufferer may begin to notice a foreign body sensation, matting of the lashes, and burning. Usually, the primary care physician will prescribe topical antibiotics for staphylococcal blepharitis. Unfortunately this is not an effective treatment. The condition can sometimes lead to a chalazion or a stye.

Posterior blepharitis or rosacea-associated blepharitis

The most common type of blepharitis is often found in people with a Rosacea skin type. The oil glands in the lid of rosacea sufferers secrete a modified oil which leads to inflammation at the gland openings which are found at the edge of the lid.

BOIL (usually staph infection). 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until cleared. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily (if boil is draining, keep area around the abscess protected).
Boil or furuncle is a skin disease caused by the infection of hair follicles, resulting in the localized accumulation of pus and dead tissue. Individual boils can cluster together and form an interconnected network of boils called carbuncles. In severe cases, boils may develop to form abscesses.
Boils are generally caused by an infection of the hair follicles by Staphylococcus aureus, a strain of bacterium that normally lives on the skin surface. It is thought that a tiny cut of the skin allows this bacterium to enter the follicles and cause an infection. This can happen during bathing or while using a razor.People with immune system disorders, diabetes, poor hygiene or malnutrition (Vitamin A or E deficiency) are particularly susceptible to getting boils; however, they also occur in healthy, hygienic individuals, due to over scratching a particular area of the skin.Hidradenitis suppurativa causes frequent boils. Boils in the armpits can sometimes be caused by anti-perspirant deodorants.The development of net throughout the body is also a symptom of smallpox.

BRODIE'S ABSCESS (ETOL - usually tubercular or staph), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until clear.
A Brodie abscess is a subacute osteomyelitis, which may persist for years before converting to a frank osteomyelitis. Classically, this may present after conversion as a draining abscess extending from the tibia out through the shin.Most frequent causitive organism is Staphylococcus aureus.

BRONCHITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 32 days or longer.
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi.
More specifically, it may refer to:
Acute bronchitis, caused by viruses or bacteria and lasting several days or weeks
Chronic bronchitis, a persistent, productive cough lasting at least three months in two consecutive years. In bronchitis, the membranes lining the larger bronchial tubes become inflamed and an excessive amount of mucus is produced. The person with bronchitis develops a bad cough to get rid of the mucus.

BRONCHOPNEUMONIA, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 8 to 16 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until gone.

Bronchopneumonia (Not to be confused with lobular pneumonia) is a type of pneumonia characterized by multiple foci of isolated, acute consolidation, affecting one or more pulmonary lobes. It is one of two types of bacterial pneumonia as classified by gross anatomic distribution of consolidation (solidification), the other being lobar pneumonia.

In bacterial pneumonia, invasion of the lung parenchyma by bacteria produces an inflammatory immune response. This response leads to a filling of the alveolar sacs with exudate. The loss of air space and its replacement with fluid is called consolidation. In bronchopneumonia, or lobular pneumonia, there are multiple foci of isolated, acute consolidation, affecting one or more pulmonary lobes.

It should be noted that although these two patterns of pneumonia, lobar and lobular, are the classic anatomic categories of bacterial pneumonia, in clinical practice the types are difficult to apply, as the patterns usually overlap. Bronchopneumonia (lobular) often leads to lobar pneumonia as the infection progresses. The same organism may cause one type of pneumonia in one patient, and another in a different patient. From the clinical standpoint, far more important than distinguishing the anatomical subtype of pneumonia, is identifying its causative agent and accurately assessing the extent of the disease.

BRONCHOSINUSITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until cleared.

BUBO, axillary, indolent, inguinal, pestilential (see bubonic plague), venereal (see venereal diseases), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until cleared.
A bubo (Greek boubôn, "groin") (plural form= buboes) is swelling of the lymph nodes. It's found in an infection such as bubonic plague, gonorrhea, tuberculosis or syphilis. It is similar in appearance to a huge blister, and usually appears under the armpit, in the groin or on the neck.

According to historical records, buboes were characteristic of the pandemic responsible for the Black Death and perhaps other ancient pandemics. At the time of such pandemics, it was commonly believed by doctors that buboes should be burst; hen feathers were reportedly used for such a purpose. However, in modern medicine this treatment is regarded as useless or in fact harmful, as the puncture site could leave a patient at higher risk for dangerous infection.

Buboes rarely require any form of local care, but instead recede with systemic antibiotic therapy. In fact, for plague patients, incision and drainage poses a risk to others in contact with the patient due to aerosolization of the bubo contents. Needle aspiration can be performed for diagnostic purposes and may also provide symptomatic relief.

BURNS (1st, 2nd, and 3rd, degree). Apply SoftSpot Silver to burned area to prevent infection. Do the above 2 X daily until healed. Burns heal twice as fast if treated this way.

Traumatic injury is another cause of bursitis. The inflammation irritates because the bursa no longer fits in the original small area between the bone and the functionary muscle or tendon. When the bone increases pressure upon the bursa, bursitis results.

CANCER, SoftSpot Silver is not a treatment for cancer. Medical literature suggests that both bacteria and virus may be precursors to some types of cancer. Many people who have cancer also have infections. To prevent infections in cancer patients the recommended dose is 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.

CANDIDA ALBICANS, (systemic), SoftSpot Silver is so effective for systemic candida that if initial doses are too high, will produce severe symptoms. Start slow and monitor patient. 5 ml SoftSpot Silver for 5 to 7 days, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until asymptomatic (When using the above protocol, most patients can consume fruits without harm).

CANDIDIASIS (not systemic- skin, nails, mouth), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily in 50 ml of water used as a “mouthwash” and then swallowed. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X per day, where needed.
Candidiasis, commonly called yeast infection or thrush, is a fungal infection (mycosis) of any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is the most common. Candidiasis encompasses infections that range from superficial, such as oral thrush and vaginitis, to systemic and potentially life-threatening diseases. Candida infections of the latter category are also referred to as candidemia and are usually confined to severely immunocompromised persons, such as cancer, transplant, and AIDS patients.Superficial infections of skin and mucosal membranes by Candida causing local inflammation and discomfort are however common in many human populations. While clearly attributable to the presence of the opportunistic pathogens of the genus Candida, candidiasis describes a number of different disease syndromes that often differ in their causes and outcomes.

CELLULITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Rub SoftSpot Silver into skin where needed 2 x daily.
Cellulitis is an infection of the deep subcutaneous tissue of the skin. Cellulitis can be caused by normal skin flora or by exogenous bacteria, and often occurs where the skin has previously been broken: cracks in the skin, cuts, blisters, burns, insect bites, surgical wounds, or sites of intravenous catheter insertion. Skin on the face or lower legs is most commonly affected by this infection, though cellulitis can occur on any part of the body. The mainstay of therapy remains treatment with appropriate antibiotics.Erysipelas is the term used for a more superficial infection of the dermis and upper subcutaneous layer that presents clinically with a well defined edge. Erysipelas and cellulitis often coexist, so it is often difficult to make a distinction between the two.Cellulitis is unrelated to cellulite, a cosmetic condition featuring dimpling of the skin.
Cellulitis is caused by a type of bacteria entering by way of a break in the skin. This break need not be visible. Group A Streptococcus and Staphylococcus are the most common of these bacteria, which are part of the normal flora of the skin but cause no actual infection until the skin is broken. Predisposing conditions for cellulitis include insect bite, blistering, animal bite, tattoos, pruritic skin rash, recent surgery, athlete's foot, dry skin, eczema, injecting drugs (especially subcutaneous or intramuscular injection or where an attempted IV injection "misses" or blows the vein); plus burns and boils, though there is debate as to whether minor foot lesions contribute and also morbidly obese people can experience it.

The photos shown here of Cellulitis are more severe cases than what can be spotted typically at earlier stages. Usually the itch and/or rash appears but shortly after vanishes leaving only a small mark which is commonly ignored.

CEREBRITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until gone.
Cerebritis is an infection of the brain, which normally leads to the formation of an abscess within the brain itself.

CEREBROMENINGITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until clear.

CERVICOVAGINITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until clear. Also have patient douche daily with 1 part in 2 parts of water.

CHANCROID (non-syphilitic venereal ulcer), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until clear.
Chancroid is a sexually transmitted infection characterized by painful sores on the genitalia. Chancroid is known to be spread from one to another individual through sexual contact. Chancroid is a bacterial infection caused by the fastidious Gram-negative streptobacillus Haemophilus ducreyi. It is a disease found primarily in developing countries, associated with commercial sex workers and their clientele.Infection levels are low in the western world, typically around one case per two million of the population (Canada, France, UK and USA). Most individuals diagnosed with chancroid have visited countries or areas where the disease is known to occur frequently, although outbreaks have been observed in association with crack cocaine use and prostitution.Uncircumcised men are at three times greater risk than circumcised men for contracting chancroid from an infected partner. Chancroid is a risk factor for contracting HIV, due to their ecological association or shared risk of exposure, and biologically facilitated transmission of one infection by the other.

 CHEILITIS, (exfoliative), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Cheilitis is a medical condition involving inflammation of the lip.It is associated with many conditions, including megaloblastic anemia from Vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency anemia (which in severe cases can lead to Plummer-Vinson syndrome) and oral candidiasis. It can also be a symptom of allergies, such as allergy to Balsam of Peru. Cheilitis can also be caused by taking the (retinoid) drug Isotretinoin (brand name Roaccutane) (BNF84).It may also be a pre-malignant lesion for squamous cell carcinoma.

CHICKEN POX, (children or adults), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally to eruptions and/or crusting 2 x daily.
Chickenpox is a highly contagious illness caused by primary infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). It generally begins with spots appearing in two or three waves, mainly on the body and head rather than the hands and becoming itchy raw pockmarks, small open sores which heal mostly without scarring.Chickenpox has a 10-21 day incubation period and is spread easily through aerosolized droplets from the nasopharynx of ill individuals or through direct contact with secretions from the rash. Following primary infection there is usually lifelong protective immunity from further episodes of chickenpox.Chickenpox is rarely fatal, although it is generally more severe in adults than in children. Pregnant women and those with a suppressed immune system are at highest risk of serious complications. The most common late complication of chicken pox is shingles, caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus decades after the initial episode of chickenpox.

CHLAMYDIA (trachomatous and psillaci), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Chlamydia can refer to:

• Chlamydia, the pathogenic bacterial genus.
• Chlamydia infection.
• Bacteria that belong to the class or phylum Chlamydiae or to the family Chlamydiaceae.
• The bacterial genus Chlamydophila.
• Chlamydia trachomatis, bacteria that cause human sexually transmitted disease and eye infections.
• Chlamydia muridarum, bacteria that cause disease in mice and hamsters (the Muridae).
• Chlamydia suis, bacteria that infect pigs (Sus suis).
• Chlamydophila pneumoniae, also known as Chlamydia pneumoniae, an airborne chlamydial species responsible for human respiratory infection and numerous animal infections.
• Chlamydophila pecorum, a chlamydial species common in livestock.
• Chlamydophila psittaci, a highly virulent chlamydial species prevalent in birds.
• Chlamydophila abortus, a chlamydial species that causes abortion in mammals.
• Chlamydophila felis, a chlamydial species found in cats.
• Chlamydophila caviae, a chlamydial species found in Guinea pigs.

CHOLANGITIS, (bile duct inflammation), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Suspect gallstones (a gallstone cleanse is indicated).
Cholangitis is inflammation of the bile duct. The most common cause is a bacterial infection, and the problem is then an ascending cholangitis. However, there are other types of cholangitis as well.

Ascending cholangitis
Ascending cholangitis is caused by bacteria, and causes pain, jaundice, and fever. The bacteria usually originate from a preceding choledocholithiasis

Primary sclerosing cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a cholangitis with autoimmune origin.

Secondary sclerosing cholangitis
Secondary sclerosing cholangitis is a cholangitis with other causes.

COLD, (common, chest, see bronchitis). At onset, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 3 or 4 days (this usually stops a cold). Advanced Symptoms, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 100 ml of water, gargle & then swallow 2 x daily.

CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASES,see systemic lupus erythematosus or scleroderma.
A connective tissue disease is any disease that has the connective tissues of the body as a target of pathology. Connective tissue is any type of biological tissue with an extensive extracellular matrix that supports, binds together, and protects organs. These tissues form a framework, or matrix, for the body, and are composed of two major structural protein molecules, collagen and elastin. There are many different types of collagen protein in each of the body's tissues. Elastin has the capability of stretching and returning to its original length - like a spring or rubber band. Elastin is the major component of ligaments (tissues that attach bone to bone) and skin. In patients with connective tissue disease, it is common for collagen and elastin to become injured by inflammation. Many connective tissue diseases feature abnormal immune system activity with inflammation in tissues as a result of an immune system that is directed against one's own body tissues (autoimmunity).Diseases in which inflammation or weakness of collagen tends to occur are also referred to as collagen diseases. Collagen vascular disease is a somewhat antiquated term used to describe diseases that can be (but are not necessarily) associated with collagen and blood vessel abnormalities and that are autoimmune in nature.Connective tissue diseases can have strong or weak inheritance risks, and can also be caused by environmental factors.

CROUP, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Keep patient in a high humidity.
Croup is a group of respiratory diseases that often affect infants and children under age 6. It is characterized by a barking cough; a whistling, obstructive sound (stridor) as the child breathes in; and hoarseness due to obstruction in the region of the larynx. It may be mild, moderate or severe, and severe cases, with breathing difficulty, can be fatal if not treated in a hospital. Croup is most often caused by parainfluenza virus, primarily types 1 and 2 (some definitions limit the term "croup" to this pathogen). However, other viral and possibly bacterial infections can also cause it. It is most common in the fall and winter but can occur year-round, with a slight predilection for males.The respiratory distress is caused by the inflammatory response to the infection, rather than by the infection itself. It usually occurs in young children as their airways are smaller and differently shaped than adults', making them more susceptible. There is some element of genetic predisposition as children in some families are more susceptible than others.An entity known as spasmodic croup also occurs, distinct from the infectious variety, due to laryngeal spasms.

CRYPTOCOCCOSES (cerebral or meningeal forms usually are fatal), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily (if “die off” reaction is severe, reduce dose. Increase as able.) Apply SoftSpot Silver externally to abscesses 2 x daily.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS, fibrosis is usually accompanied by a viral infection. SoftSpot Silver, in these cases, can stop or slow the disease progression. 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Cystic fibrosis (also known as MF, mucovoidosis, or mucoviscidosis) is a hereditary disease affecting the exocrine (mucus) glands of the lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines, causing progressive disability due to multisystem failure.Thick mucus production results in frequent lung infections. Diminished secretion of pancreatic enzymes is the main cause of poor growth, greasy stools, and deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins. Males can be infertile due to the condition congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. Often, symptoms of CF appear in infancy and childhood. Meconium ileus is a typical finding in newborn babies with CF.Individuals with cystic fibrosis can be diagnosed prior to birth by genetic testing. Newborn screening tests are increasingly common and effective (although false positives may occur, and children need to be brought in for a sweat test to distinguish disease vs carrier status). The diagnosis of CF may be confirmed if high levels of salt are found during a sweat test, although some false positives may occur.There is no cure for CF, and most individuals with cystic fibrosis die young: many in their 20s and 30s from lung failure. However, with the continuous introduction of many new treatments, the life expectancy of a person with CF is increasing to ages as high as 40 or 50. Lung transplantation is often necessary as CF worsens.Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common life-shortening, childhood-onset inherited diseases. In the United States, 1 in 3,900 children are born with CF. It is most common among western European populations and Ashkenazi Jews; one in twenty-two people of Mediterranean descent are carriers of one gene for CF, making it the most common genetic disease in these populations. Ireland has the highest rate of CF carriers in the world (1 in 19).CF is caused by a mutation in a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The product of this gene is a chloride ion channel important in creating sweat, digestive juices, and mucus. Although most people without CF have two working copies (alleles) of the CFTR gene, only one is needed to prevent cystic fibrosis. CF develops when neither allele can produce a functional CFTR protein. Therefore, CF is considered an autosomal recessive disease.

CYTOMEGALIC INCLUSION DISEASE (cytomegalovirus), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 16 days 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until gone, SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. NOTE: There are too many conditions to list them all. The rule to follow is to use SoftSpot Silver if you suspect infection (bacterial, viral or fungal) and to prevent infections.
Cytomegalovirus (from the Greek cyto-, "cell", and -megalo-, "large") is a viral genus of the Herpesviruses group: in humans it is commonly known as HCMV or Human Herpesvirus 5' (HHV-5). CMV belongs to the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily of Herpesviridae, which also includes Roseolovirus. Other herpesviruses fall into the subfamilies of Alphaherpesvirinae (including HSV 1 and 2 and varicella) or Gammaherpesvirinae (including Epstein-Barr virus). All herpesviruses share a characteristic ability to remain latent within the body over long periods.HCMV infections are frequently associated with salivary glands, though they may be found throughout the body. HCMV infection can also be life threatening for patients who are immunocompromised (e.g. patients with HIV, organ transplant recipients, or neonates). Other CMV viruses are found in several mammal species, but species isolated from animals differ from HCMV in terms of genomic structure, and have not been reported to cause human disease.HCMV is found throughout all geographic locations and socioeconomic groups, and infects between 50% and 80% of adults in the United States as indicated by the presence of antibodies in much of the general population. Seroprevalence is age-dependent: 58.9% of individuals aged 6 and over are infected with CMV while 90.8% of individuals aged 80 and over are positive for HCMV. HCMV is also the virus most frequently transmitted to a developing child before birth. HCMV infection is more widespread in developing countries and in communities with lower socioeconomic status and represents the most significant viral cause of birth defects in industrialized countries.

DERMATOMYOSITIS (usually viral), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 16 to 24 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. SoftSpot Silver externally, where indicated, 2 x daily.
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a connective-tissue disease related to Polymyositis (PM) that is characterized by inflammation of the muscles and the skin. The cause is unknown, but it may result from either a viral infection or an autoimmune reaction. Some cases of dermatomyositis actually "overlap" (are combined with) another autoimmune disease such as lupus, scleroderma, or vasculitis. Because of the link between DM and autoimmune disease, doctors and patients suspecting DM may find it helpful to run an ANA - antinuclear antibody - test, which in cases of a lupus-like nature may be positive (usually from 1:160 to 1:640, with normal ranges at 1:40 and below).Some cases of DM are a paraneoplastic phenomenon, indicating the presence of cancer. In cases involving cancer, the cancer is usually pre-existent, with removal of the cancer resulting in remission of the DM. The onset of a rash in patients with pre-existing myositis requires investigation of the neoplastic possibility.

DERMOPHLEBITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.

DONOVANIA GRANULOMATOUS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.

EBV (eppstein-bar virus), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 32 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 32 days then test - if still positive repeat above.
The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), also called Human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4), is a virus of the herpes family (which includes Herpes simplex virus), and is one of the most common viruses in humans. Most people become infected with EBV, which is often asymptomatic but commonly causes infectious mononucleosis (better known in the UK as glandular fever).Epstein-Barr virus occurs worldwide, and most people become infected with EBV sometime during their lives. In the United States, as many as 95% of adults between 35 and 40 years of age have been infected. Infants become susceptible to EBV as soon as maternal antibody protection (present at birth) disappears. Many children become infected with EBV, and these infections usually cause no symptoms or are indistinguishable from the other mild, brief illnesses of childhood. In the United States and in other developed countries, many persons are not infected with EBV in their childhood years. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis 35% to 50% of the time.

ECTHYMA, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.
Ecthyma is a variation of impetigo, presenting at a deeper level of tissue.It is usually associated with Staphylococcus.
 

ECZEMA (describes symptoms rather than a disease). See dermatitis for conditions most eczema symptoms require externally 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 x daily.
Eczema (from Greek έκζεμα) is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the epidermis. The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes which are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, skin edema (swelling), itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing, or bleeding. Areas of temporary skin discoloration may appear and are sometimes due to healed lesions, although scarring is rare. In contrast to psoriasis, eczema is often likely to be found on the flexor aspect of joints.
  

EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME, SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily, Vitamin C 4000mg 2 x daily.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of rare genetic disorders affecting humans caused by a defect in collagen synthesis. Depending on the individual mutation, the severity of the syndrome can vary from mild to life-threatening. There is no known cure. Treatment is supportive.The syndrome is named after two doctors, Edward Ehlers of Denmark, and Henri-Alexandre Danlos of France, who identified it at the turn of the 20th century.
 

ELEPHANTIASIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 x daily.
Elephantiasis (/ˌɛləfənˈtaɪəsɪs, -fæn-/ [el-uh-fuhn-tahy-uh-sis, -fan-]) is a disease that is characterized by the thickening of the skin and underlying tissues, especially in the legs and genitals. In some cases, the disease can cause certain body parts, such as the scrotum, to swell to the size of a softball or basketball. ("Elephantitis" is a common mis-hearing or mis-remembering of the term, from confusing the ending -iasis -- process or resulting condition -- with the more commonly heard -itis -- irritation or inflammation.) Its proper medical name is lymphatic filariasis. Elephantiasis is often caused by microscopic, thread-like parasitic worms such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and B. timori, all of which are transmitted by Mosquitoes. Consequently, it is common in tropical regions and Africa. Obstruction of the lymphatic vessels leads to swelling in the lower torso, typically in the legs and genitals. It is not definitively known if this swelling is caused by the parasite itself, or by the immune system's response to the parasite.Alternatively, elephantiasis may occur in the absence of parasitic infection. This nonparasitic form of elephantiasis, known as nonfilarial elephantiasis or podoconiosis, and areas of high prevalence have been documented in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan and Ethiopia. The worst affected area is Ethiopia, where up to 6% of the population is affected in endemic areas. Nonfilarial elephantiasis is thought to be caused by persistent contact with irritant soils: in particular, red clays rich in alkali metals such as sodium and potassium and associated with volcanic activity.The adult worms only live in the human lymph system.
 

 ENCEPHALITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until clear.
Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain. It can be caused by a bacterial infection such as bacterial meningitis spreading directly to the brain (primary encephalitis), or may be a complication of a current infectious disease like rabies or syphilis (secondary encephalitis). Certain parasitic or protozoal infestations, such as toxoplasmosis, malaria, or primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, can also cause encephalitis in people with compromised immune systems. Lyme disease may also cause encephalitis. Bartonella henselae can also lead to this. Brain damage occurs as the inflamed brain pushes against the skull, and can lead to death.

ENDOCARDITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily until asymptomatic (usually 30 to 60 days).
Endocarditis is an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, the endocardium. It usually involves the heart valves (native or prosthetic valves). Other structures which may be involved include the interventricular septum, the chordae tendinae, the mural endocardium, or even on intracardiac devices.Endocarditis is characterized by a prototypic lesion, the vegetation, which is a mass of platelets, fibrin, microcolonies of microorganisms, and scant inflammatory cells. In the subacute form of infective endocarditis, the vegegation may also include a center of granulomatous tissue, which may fibrose or calcify.There are multiple ways to classify endocarditis. The simplest is classifying based on etiology: either infective or non-infective, depending on whether a microorganism is the source of the inflammation. Regardless, diagnosis of this disease is based on the clinical features, investigations such as echocardiogram, as well as any blood cultures exhibiting the existence of microorganisms commonly causing endocarditis.

ENDOCERVICITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally to cervix 2 x daily.

EPIGLOTTITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 50 ml of water, gargle then swallow, 2 x daily. Tracheostomy may be needed.
Epiglottitis is inflammation of the epiglottis - the flap that sits at the base of the tongue, which keeps food from going into the trachea (windpipe). Due to its place in the airway, swelling of this structure can interfere with breathing and constitutes a medical emergency. The infection can cause the epiglottis to either obstruct or completely close off the windpipe. Epiglottitis involves bacterial infection of the epiglottis, most often caused by Haemophilus influenzae type B, although some cases are attributable to Streptococcus pneumoniae or Streptococcus pyogenes.

EPISCLERITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Scleritis is a serious inflammatory disease that affects the white outer coating of the eye, known as the sclera. The disease is often contracted through association with other diseases of the body, such as Wegener's granulomatosis or rheumatoid arthritis; it can also be attained through disorders of menstruation. For this reason, scleritis occurs frequently among young women. There are three types of scleritis: diffuse scleritis (the most common), nodular scleritis, and necrotizing scleritis (the most severe). Scleritis may be the first symptom of onset connective tissue disease.The term "Episcleritis" refers to inflammation of the episclera.

ERYSIPELAS (staph), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Erysipelas (Greek ερυσίπελας - red skin) is an acute streptococcus bacterial infection of the dermis, resulting in inflammation and characteristically extending into underlying fat tissue.

ESOPHAGITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 100 ml of water, 3 x daily.
Esophagitis (or Oesophagitis) is inflammation of the esophagus.

FIBROMA (fibroid tumors are often caused by an unsuspected staph infection), 5 ml to 10 ml of SoftSpot Silver per day depending on severity of condition.
Fibromas (or fibroid tumors or fibroids) are benign tumors that are composed of fibrous or connective tissue. They can grow in all organs, arising from mesenchyme tissue.The term "fibroblastic" or "fibromatous" is used to describe tumors of the fibrous connective tissue. When the term fibroma is used without modifier, it is usually considered benign, with the term fibrosarcoma reserved for malignant tumors.The term fibroid can also refer to tumors of smooth muscle, as in uterine fibroids.

FIBROMYALGIA (see fibromyositis) 10 ml SoftSpot

 Silver per day until symptoms abate then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 6-12 months.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and a heightened and painful response to gentle touch (tactile allodynia). While the criteria for such an entity have not yet been thoroughly developed, the recognition that fibromyalgia involves more than just pain has led to the frequent use of the term "fibromyalgia syndrome". It is not contagious, and recent studies suggest that people with fibromyalgia may be genetically predisposed. The disorder is not directly life-threatening. The degree of symptoms may vary greatly from day to day with periods of flares (severe worsening of symptoms) or remission; however, the disorder is generally perceived as non-progressive.

FIBROMYOSITIS (fibromyalgia), usually virus 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until pain is gone then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic (3 to 12 months).

FOLLICULITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. SoftSpot Silver to scalp, let stand at least 20 minutes before shampooing. Treat every day.
Folliculitis is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles. The condition may occur anywhere on the skin.
Most carbuncles and furuncles and other cases of folliculitis develop from Staphylococcus aureus.

Folliculitis starts when hair follicles are damaged by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle, shaving or too tight braids too close to the scalp [traction folliculitis]. In most cases of folliculitis, the damaged follicles are then infected with the bacteria Staphylococcus (staph).

Iron deficiency anemia is sometimes associated with chronic cases

• Tinea barbae is similar to barber's itch, but the infection is caused by the fungus T. rubrum.

• Malassezia folliculitis, formerly known as Pityrosporum folliculitis, is caused by malassezia yeast.

• Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a disorder occurring primarily in men of African descent. If curly beard hairs are cut too short, they may curve back into the skin and cause inflammation.

• Hot tub folliculitis is caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa often found in new hot tubs. The folliculitis usually occurs after sitting in a hot tub that was not properly cleaned before use. Symptoms are found around the body parts that sit in the hot tub -- typically the legs, hips, and buttocks and surrounding areas. Symptoms are typically amplified around regions that were covered by wet clothing, such as bathing suits.

• Sycosis barbae or Barber's itch is a staphylococcus infection of the hair follicles in the bearded area of the face, usually the upper lip. Shaving aggravates the condition.

• Eosinophilic folliculitis may appear in persons with impaired immunity (AIDS, blood disorders).

• Herpetic folliculitis may occur when Herpes Simplex Virus infection spreads to nearby hair follicles - mostly around the mouth. It typically ocurs in persons with AIDS.

• Gram negative folliculitis may appear after prolonged acne treatment with antibiotics.

• Folliculitis decalvans or tufted folliculitis usually affects scalp. Several hairs arise from the same hair follicle. Scarring and permanent hair loss may follow. The cause is unknown.

• Folliculitis keloidalis causes scars on the nape of the neck. It mostly occurs in black-colored males with curly hair.

• Oil folliculitis is inflammation of hair follicles due to exposure to various oils and typically occurs on forearms or thighs. It is common in refinery workers, road workers, mechanics, sheep shearers. Even makeup may cause it.

GANGRENE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver to area including tissue adjoining 2 x daily.
Gangrene is a complication of necrosis (i.e., cell death) characterized by the decay of body tissues, which become black and malodorous. It is caused by infection or ischemia, such as from thrombosis (blocked blood vessel). It is usually the result of critically insufficient blood supply (e.g., peripheral vascular disease) and is often associated with diabetes and long-term smoking. This condition is most common in the lower extremities. The best treatment for gangrene is revascularization (i.e., restoration of blood flow) of the affected organ, which can reverse some of the effects of necrosis and allow healing. Other treatments include debridement and surgical amputation. The method of treatment is generally determined depending on location of affected tissue and extent of tissue loss. Gangrene may appear as one effect of foot binding.
 

GARDNERELLA VAGINALIS VAGINITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver to vaginal mucosa every other day. Douche - 1 part H2O2 in 2 parts H2O every other day when not using SoftSpot Silver.

GARRE'S DISEASE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.

GASTRITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 50 ml water 2 X daily on an empty stomach.
Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. There are many possible causes. Gastritis is caused by excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as NSAIDs, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, or infection with bacteria, such as Helicobacter pylori. Sometimes gastritis develops after major surgery, traumatic injury, burns, or severe infections. Certain diseases, such as pernicious anemia and chronic bile reflux, or autoimmune disorders, can cause gastritis as well. The most common symptom is abdominal upset or pain. Other symptoms are indigestion, abdominal bloating, nausea, and vomiting, or a feeling of fullness or burning in the upper abdomen. Blood in your vomit or black stools may be a sign of bleeding in the stomach, which may indicate a serious problem.
The following are known causes and factors related to gastritis:

• Bacterial infection (most often by Helicobacter pylori and other Helicobacter spp.)
• Fungal infection (most often in people with immunodeficiency)
• Parasitic infection (most often by Anisakis spp. from poorly cooked seafood)
• Bile reflux
• NSAIDs
• Cigarette smoke
• Autoimmune disorders
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Excessive caffeine consumption
• Helly Belly
• Certain allergens
• Certain types of radiation
• Steroid treatments for other conditions
• Stomach injury
• Stress
• Eating Disorders, such as Bulimia

GINGIVITIS (usually a staph infection), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 50 ml of water, use as a mouth wash, then swallow, 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until cleared.
Gingivitis ("inflammation of the gums") (gingiva) around the teeth is a general term for gingival diseases affecting the gingiva (gums). As generally used, the term gingivitis refers to gingival inflammation induced by bacterial biofilms (also called plaque) adherent to tooth surfaces.
Gingivitis is an irritation of the gums. It is usually caused by bacterial plaque that accumulates in the small gaps between the gums and the teeth and by calculus (tartar) that forms on the teeth. These accumulations may be tiny, even microscopic, but the bacteria in them produce foreign chemicals and toxins that cause inflammation of the gums around the teeth. This inflammation can, over the years, cause deep pockets between the teeth and gums and loss of bone around teeth—an effect otherwise known as periodontitis.

GLUTITIS (usually virus), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until clear.

GNATHITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Gnathitis refers to jaw inflammation.

 GONORRHEA, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until smears negative (female- 3 successive negatives).
Gonorrhea (also gonorrhoea), caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is a common sexually transmitted disease. In the US, its incidence is second only to chlamydia.Non-genital sites in which it thrives are in the rectum, the throat (oropharynx), and the eyes (conjunctiva). The vulva and vagina in women are usually spared because they are lined by stratified epithelial cells—in women the cervix is the usual first site of infection. Gonorrhea typically spreads during sexual intercourse. It can also be vertically transmitted, where infected mothers can pass gonorrhea to their newborn infants during delivery. This causes conjunctivitis (eye infections) which, if left untreated, can lead to blindness. As prophylaxis against this, many countries routinely treat infants with eyedrops of erythromycin at birth.

GRANCHER'S DISEASE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 12 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.

HEPATITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 24 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until testing negative (90 to 180 days).
Hepatitis (plural hepatitides) implies injury to the liver characterized by the presence of inflammatory cells in the tissue of the organ. The name is from ancient Greek hepar (ηπαρ) or hepato- (ηπατο-), meaning liver, and suffix -itis, meaning "inflammation" (c. 1727). The condition can be self-limiting, healing on its own, or can progress to scarring of the liver. Hepatitis is acute when it lasts less than six months and chronic when it persists longer. A group of viruses known as the hepatitis viruses cause most cases of liver damage worldwide. Hepatitis can also be due to toxins (notably alcohol), other infections or from autoimmune process. It may run a subclinical course when the affected person may not feel ill. The patient becomes unwell and symptomatic when the disease impairs liver functions that include, among other things, removal of harmful substances, regulation of blood composition, and production of bile to help digestion.
Causes

Acute hepatitis

• Viral Hepatitis: Hepatitis A through E (more than 95% of viral cause), Herpes simplex, Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, yellow fever virus, adenoviruses.
• Non viral infection: toxoplasma, Leptospira, Q fever, rocky mountain spotted fever
• Alcohol
• Toxins: Amanita toxin in mushrooms, carbon tetrachloride, asafetida
• Drugs: Paracetamol, amoxycillin, antituberculosis medicines, minocycline and many others (see longer list below).
• Ischemic hepatitis (circulatory insufficiency)
• Pregnancy
• Auto immune conditions, e.g. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
• Metabolic diseases, e.g. Wilson's disease

Chronic hepatitis

• Viral hepatitis: Hepatitis B with or without hepatitis D, hepatitis C (Hepatitis A and E do not lead to chronic disease)
• Autoimmune: Autoimmune hepatitis
• Alcohol
• Drugs: methyldopa, nitrofurantoin, isoniazid, ketoconazole
• Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
• Heredity: Wilson's disease, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency
• Primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis occasionally mimic chronic hepatitis

HEPATITIS C, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 30 days. If symptoms improve, continue for 90 to 180 days.
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infectious disease that is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), affecting the liver. The infection is often asymptomatic, but once established, chronic infection can cause inflammation of the liver (chronic hepatitis). This condition can progress to scarring of the liver (fibrosis), and advanced scarring (cirrhosis). In some cases, those with cirrhosis will go on to develop liver failure or other complications of cirrhosis, including liver cancer.The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact. No vaccine against hepatitis C is available. The symptoms of infection can be medically managed, and a proportion of patients can be cleared of the virus by a course of anti-viral medicines. Although early medical intervention is helpful, people with HCV infection can experience mild symptoms, and consequently do not seek treatment. An estimated 150-200 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C.Hepatitis C (originally "non-A non-B hepatitis") is one of five known hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, and E.

HEPATONEPHRITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 60 days. Drink 2 liters of water per day.

HERPANGINA, labialis, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. SoftSpot Silver externally to cold sore. Ocular (if nerves have been severely damaged, will not help for pain) 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily, also 2 or 3 drops, full strength, in eye (s) 2 X daily 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Pracputialis, apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. NOTE: a strain of coxsackie virus.
Herpangina from herp, an itching, and angina, a sore throat, literally "a choking"; also called mouth blisters) is the name of a painful mouth infection caused by coxsackieviruses. Usually, herpangina is produced by one particular strain of coxsackievirus A, but it can also be caused by coxsackievirus B or echoviruses. It is most common in children. Though herpangina can be asymptomatic, symptoms usually associated are high fever and sore throat.A small number of lesions (usually 2 - 6) form in the back area of the mouth, particularly the soft palate or tonsillar pillars. The lesions progress initially from red macules to vesicles and lastly to ulcerations which can be 2 - 4 mm in size. The lesions heal in 7 - 10 days.Histologically, the epithelial cells show signs of intracelular and intercellular edema. A diagnosis can be made from clinical signs and symptoms, and treatment consists of minimizing the discomfort of symptoms. Aspirin is avoided.

HODGKIN'S DISEASE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 16 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.
Hodgkin's lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma first described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832. Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized clinically by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and by the development of systemic symptoms with advanced disease. Pathologically, the disease is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells (RS cells). Hodgkin's lymphoma was one of the first cancers to be cured by radiation. Later it was one of the first to be cured by combination chemotherapy. The survival rate is generally around 90% when the disease is detected relatively early, making it one of the more curable forms of cancer. More recent trials are showing much higher five-year survival rates than have previously been seen, up to 98% for patients in earlier stages. Later-stage cancers, though, continue to show a significantly worse prognosis. The full remission ( cure ) rate for stages I and II is about 85 - 90%, while in stages III and IV, the cure rate is about 80%

HUNTINGTON CHOREA, (disease), SoftSpot Silver as an infection preventative 10 ml per day, increase to 10 ml 3 X daily if infected.

ICHTHYOSIS, congenita, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. 2 x daily.
Ichthyosis is a heterogeneous family of more than 30, generalized, mostly genetic skin disorders. The word comes from ιχθύωση and Ancient Greek ιχθύς, „fish“. The most common type of ichthyosis is ichthyosis vulgaris accounting for >95% of the cases.

IMPETIGO, CONTAGIOSA (staph or strep infection), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. NOTE: patient should be isolated, hygiene extremely important.
Impetigo (sometimes impetaigo) is a superficial bacterial skin infection most common among children 2 to 6 years old. People who play close contact sports such as rugby, American football and wrestling are also susceptible, regardless of age. The name derives from the Latin impetere ("assail"). It is also known as school sores. It usually caused primarily by Staphylococcus aureus, and sometimes by Streptococcus pyogenes. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians - "Nonbullous impetigo was previously thought to be a group A streptococcal process and bullous impetigo was primarily thought to be caused by S. aureus. Studies now indicate that both forms of impetigo are primarily caused by S. aureus with Streptococcus usually being involved in the nonbullous form"

INFLUENZA, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 2 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until asymptomatic.
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an infectious disease of birds and mammals caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses). The name influenza comes from the Italian: influenza, meaning "influence", (Latin: influentia). In humans, common symptoms of the disease are chills and fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. In more serious cases, influenza causes pneumonia, which can be fatal, particularly in young children and the elderly. Although it is sometimes confused with the common cold, influenza is a much more severe disease and is caused by a different type of virus. Influenza can produce nausea and vomiting, especially in children, but these symptoms are more characteristic of the unrelated gastroenteritis, which is sometimes called "stomach flu" or "24-hour flu".Typically, influenza is transmitted from infected mammals through the air by coughs or sneezes, creating aerosols containing the virus, and from infected birds through their droppings. Influenza can also be transmitted by saliva, nasal secretions, feces and blood. Infections also occur through contact with these body fluids or with contaminated surfaces. Flu viruses can remain infectious for about one week at human body temperature, over 30 days at 0 °C (32 °F), and for much longer periods at very low temperatures. Most influenza strains can be inactivated easily by disinfectants and detergents.Flu spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands annually — millions in pandemic years . Three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century and killed tens of millions of people, with each of these pandemics being caused by the appearance of a new strain of the virus in humans. Often, these new strains result from the spread of an existing flu virus to humans from other animal species. A deadly avian strain named H5N1 has posed the greatest risk for a new influenza pandemic since it first killed humans in Asia in the 1990s. Fortunately, this virus has not mutated to a form that spreads easily between people.Vaccinations against influenza are usually given to people in developed countries with a high risk of contracting the disease and to farmed poultry. The most common human vaccine is the trivalent influenza vaccine that contains purified and inactivated material from three viral strains. Typically, this vaccine includes material from two influenza A virus subtypes and one influenza B virus strain. A vaccine formulated for one year may be ineffective in the following year, since the influenza virus changes rapidly over time, and different strains become dominant. Antiviral drugs can be used to treat influenza, with neuraminidase inhibitors being particularly effective.

INSULITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Insulitis is an inflammation of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. This lymphocyte infiltration can result in destruction of the insulin producing beta cells of the islets, and clinical diabetes. Insulitis can be studied in the NOD mouse model of type-1 diabetes.Pancreatic β-cells become infiltrated by mononuclear cells, leading to inflammation.

INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Interstitial cystitis (commonly abbreviated to "IC") is a urinary bladder disease of unknown cause characterised by urinary frequency (as often as every 10 minutes), urgency, pressure and/or pain in the bladder and/or pelvis. Pain typically increases as the bladder fills and reduces after voiding. However some patients report pain with urination, often in the urethra. Patients may also experience nocturia, pelvic floor dysfunction and tension (thus making it difficult to start their urine stream), pain with sexual intercourse, and discomfort and difficulty driving, travelling or working. Research has determined that the quality of life of IC patients is equivalent to those with end stage renal failure.It is not unusual for patients to have been misdiagnosed with a variety of other conditions, including: overactive bladder, urethritis, urethral syndrome, trigonitis, prostatitis and other generic terms used to describe frequency/urgency symptoms in the urinary tract.IC affects men and women of all cultures, socioeconomics, and ages. Although the disease previously was believed to be a condition of menopausal women, growing numbers of men and women are being diagnosed in their twenties and younger. IC is not a rare condition, however IC is more common in females than in men. Early research suggested that IC prevalence ranged from 1 in 100,000 to 5.1 in 1,000 of the general population. New epidemiological data released in 2006 by Dr. Matt Rosenberg now suggests that up to 12% of women may have early symptoms of IC. The cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown, though several theories have been put forward (these include autoimmune, neurologic, allergic and genetic). Regardless of the origin, it is clear that the majority of IC patients struggle with a damaged urothelium, or bladder lining. When the surface GAG layer is damaged (via a UTI, excessive consumption of coffee or sodas, traumatic injury, etc.), urinary chemicals can "leak" into surrounding tissues, causing pain, inflammation, and urinary symptoms. Oral medications like Elmiron and medications that are placed directly into the bladder via a catheter work to repair and rebuild this damaged/wounded lining, allowing for a reduction in symptoms.Recent work at the University of Maryland, Baltimore indicates that genetics may be a factor in a small subset of patients. Two genes, FZD8 and PAND, are associated with the syndrome. FZD8, at gene map locus 10p11.2, is associated with an antiproliferative factor secreted by the bladders of IC patients which "profoundly inhibits bladder cell proliferation," thus causing the missing bladder lining. PAND, at gene map locus 13q22-q32, is associated with a constellation of disorders (a "pleiotropic syndrome") including IC and other bladder and kidney problems, thyroid diseases, serious headaches/migraines, panic disorder, and mitral valve prolapse.

ISTHMITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 50 ml of water, gargles then swallow 2 x daily.

ITCH, barber's (fungus), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. See: barber's, syn: dhobie.
Itch (Latin: pruritus) is an unpleasant sensation that evokes the desire or reflex to scratch. Itch has many similarities to pain and both are unpleasant sensory experiences but their behavioral response patterns are different. Pain creates a reflex withdrawal while itch leads to a scratch reflex. Unmyelinated nerve fibers for itch and pain both originate in the skin, however information for them is conveyed centrally in two distinct systems that both use the same peripheral nerve bundle and spinothalamic tract.Historically, the sensations of itch and pain have not been considered to be independent of each other until recently where it was found that itch has several features in common with pain but exhibits notable differences. The physiological mechanisms of itch are currently poorly understood and this is mainly due to the lack of animal models of itch. Pruritic stimuli mostly create the same reactions as noxious stimuli in experimental animals, but humans are capable of discerning the distinct features of itch and pain. Therefore human studies have provided most of the information regarding the processing of pruritic stimuli.

IXOMYELITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.

JAUNDICE, infectious, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. NOTE: All other types of jaundice do not respond to SoftSpot Silver therapy.
Jaundice, also known as icterus (attributive adjective: "icteric"), is yellowish discoloration of the skin, sclerae (whites of the eyes) and mucous membranes caused by hyperbilirubinemia (increased levels of bilirubin in the blood). This hyperbilirubinemia subsequently causes increased levels of bilirubin in the extracellular fluids. Typically, the concentration of bilirubin in the plasma must exceed 1.5 mg/dL, three times the usual value of approximately 0.5mg/dL, for the coloration to be easily visible. Jaundice comes from the French word jaune, meaning yellow.

(VL), also known as kala-azar and black fever, is the most severe form of leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by parasites of the Leishmania genus. It is the second-largest parasitic killer in the world (after malaria), responsible for an estimated 500 000 deaths each year worldwide. The parasite migrates to the internal organs such as liver, spleen (hence 'visceral)' and bone marrow and if left untreated will almost always result in the death of the host. Signs and symptoms include fever, weight loss, anemia and substantial swelling of the liver and spleen. Of particular concern, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the emerging problem of HIV/VL co-infection.

KAPOSI'S SARCOMA, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily, SoftSpot Silver externally 3 x daily.
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is a tumor caused by Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). It was originally described by Moritz Kaposi, a Hungarian dermatologist practicing at the University of Vienna in 1872. It became more widely known as one of the AIDS defining illnesses in the 1980s. The viral cause for this cancer was discovered in 1994. Although KS is now well-established to be caused by a virus infection, there is widespread lack of awareness of this even among persons at risk for KSHV/HHV-8 infection.
 

LARYNGITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver daily.
Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or the complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords).Laryngitis is categorized as acute if it lasts less than a few days. Otherwise it is categorized as chronic, and may last over 3 weeks.
Causes

• viral infection
• bacterial or fungal infection
• inflammation due to overuse of the vocal cords
• excessive coughing, smoking, or alcohol consumption

LETTERER-SIWE DISEASE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally to lesions 2 x daily.
Letterer-Siwe disease is a type of histiocytosis (a condition where histiocytes proliferate in the body.) It is sometimes classified as a form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, or as a form of histiocytosis X. It is most commonly seen in children less than two years old.It is named for Erich Letterer and Sture Siwe.

LUPUS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 24 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SS externally on skin lesions 2 x daily. We have seen dramatic improvement in these patients with Ag-therapy. Most patients have systemic virus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus, pronounced /sɪˈstɛmɪk ˈluːpəs ˌɛrəˌθiməˈtoʊsəs/) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can be fatal; however, with recent medical advances, fatalities are becoming increasingly rare. As with other autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body’s cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. SLE can affect any part of the body, but most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with periods of illness (called flares) alternating with remissions. Lupus can occur at any age, and is most common in women, particularly of non-European descent. Lupus is treatable through addressing its symptoms, mainly with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants; however there is currently no cure. Survival in patients with SLE in the United States, Canada, and Europe is approximately 95% at 5 years, 90% at 10 years, and 78% at 20 years. In SLE, the body's immune system produces antibodies against itself, particularly against proteins in the cell nucleus. SLE is triggered by environmental factors that are unknown (but probably include viruses) in people with certain combinations of genes in their immune system.

LYME DISEASE, LYME ARTHRITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 30 days, if improvement noted then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 60 days.
Lyme disease, or borreliosis, is an emerging infectious disease caused by at least three species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia. Borrelia burgdorferi is the predominant cause of Lyme disease in the United States, whereas Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are implicated in most European cases.
Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected hard ticks belonging to several species of the genus Ixodes. Early manifestations of infection may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, late manifestations involving the joints, heart, and nervous system can occur. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms are eliminated with antibiotics, especially if diagnosis and treatment occur early in the course of illness. Late, delayed, or inadequate treatment can lead to late manifestations of Lyme disease which can be disabling and difficult to treat.Some Lyme disease patients who have completed a course of antibiotic treatment continue to have symptoms such as severe fatigue, sleep disturbance, and cognitive difficulties. Some groups have argued that "chronic" Lyme disease is responsible for a range of medically unexplained symptoms beyond the objectively recognized manifestations of late Lyme disease, and that additional, long-term antibiotic treatment is warranted in such cases. Of four randomized controlled trials of long-term antibiotic courses in patients with ongoing symptoms, two found no benefit, and two found inconsistent benefits and significant side effects and risks from further antibiotic treatment. Most expert groups including the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the American Academy of Neurology have found that existing scientific evidence does not support a role for Borrelia nor ongoing antibiotic treatment in such cases.Lyme disease is caused by Gram-negative spirochetal bacteria from the genus Borrelia. At least 11 Borrelia species have been described, 3 of which are Lyme related. The Borrelia species known to cause Lyme disease are collectively known as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, and have been found to have greater strain diversity than previously estimated.Three closely-related species of spirochetes are well-established as causing Lyme disease and are probably responsible for the large majority of cases: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (predominant in North America, but also in Europe), B. afzelii, and B. garinii (both predominant in Eurasia). Some studies have also proposed that B. bissettii and B. valaisiana may sometimes infect humans, but these species do not seem to be important causes of disease.
 

LYMPHANGITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Lymphangitis is an inflammation of the lymphatic channels that occurs as a result of infection at a site distal to the channel. The most common cause of Lymphangitis in humans is Streptococcus Pyogenes (Group A strep).

MARBURG VIRUS DISEASE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily and 4 cc per 20 kg body weight , every 48 hours. Found in lab workers handling tissues and cell cultures from African green monkeys. One fourth die between eight and sixteenth day of illness if not treated.
The Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg haemorrhagic fever (also known as green monkey disease). Both the disease and virus are related to Ebola and originate in Uganda and Eastern Congo. The zoonosis is of unknown origin, but Egyptian fruit bats are suspected. In the spring of 2005, the virus attracted widespread press attention for an outbreak in Angola.In September 2007, New Scientist magazine reported that the virus has been found in cave-dwelling African fruit bats in Gabon, the first time the virus has been found outside humans and primates. A team in Uganda is also testing bats in a mine after two miners contracted Marburg in August 2007. Ebola genes (a close relative to Marburg) were found in three species of fruit bats in 2005. The same techniques used to identify those genes were also used to identify Marburg genes found in Egyptian fruit bats, Rousettus aegyptiacus. Marburg antibodies have now been found in healthy bats, suggesting that the bats had been previously infected. Although no-one has yet found complete live viruses from a bat, the team suggest that "[I] think we can be sure that these fruit bats are the reservoir of Marburg virus".

MASTITIS (all types), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally to nipple 2 X daily or 3 x daily.
Mastitis is the inflammation of the parenchyma of the mammary gland (breast in primates, udder in other mammals). It is called puerperal mastitis when it occurs in lactating mothers and non-puerperal otherwise. Mastitis can occur in men, albeit rarely. Inflammatory breast cancer has symptoms very similar to mastitis and must be ruled out.The popular misconception that mastitis in humans is an infection is highly misleading and in many cases plain wrong. Infections play only a minor role in the pathogenesis of both puerperal and nonpuerperal mastitis in humans and many cases of mastitis are completely aseptic under normal hygienic conditions. Infection as primary cause of mastitis is presumed to be more prevalent in veterinary mastitis and poor hygienic conditions.The symptoms are similar for puerperal and nonpuerperal mastitis but predisposing factors and treatment can be very different.Popular usage of the term mastitis varies by geographic region. Outside the US it is commonly used for puerperal and nonpuerperal cases, in the US the term nonpuerperal mastitis is rarely used and alternative names such as duct ectasia, subareolar abscess and plasma cell mastitis are more frequently used.Chronic cystic mastitis is a different (older) name for fibrocystic disease.American usage: mastitis usually refers to puerperal (occurring to breastfeeding mothers) mastitis with symptoms of systemic infection. Lighter cases of puerperal mastitis are often called breast engorgement.Names for non-puerperal mastitis are not used very consistently and include Mastitis, Subareolar Abscess, Duct Ectasia, Periductal Inflammation, Zuska's Disease and others.Breast cancer may coincide with or mimic symptoms of mastitis. Only full resolution of symptoms and careful examination are sufficient to exclude the diagnosis of breast cancer.In this wikipedia article mastitis is used in the original sense of the definition as inflammation of the breast with additional qualifiers where appropriate.Mastitis is also a very common condition in Veterinary medicine.

MASTOIDITIS, SURGERY, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Mastoiditis is an infection of the mastoid process, the portion of the temporal bone of the skull that is behind the ear. It is usually caused by untreated acute otitis media (middle ear infection) and used to be a leading cause of child mortality. With the development of antibiotics, however, mastoiditis has become quite rare in developed countries, most likely due to antibiotic treatment of otitis media before it can spread. It is treated with medications and/or surgery. If untreated, the infection can spread to surrounding structures, including the brain, causing serious complications.

MEASLES (Rubella virus), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 6 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. SoftSpot Silver externally to eruptions 2 x daily. Above prevents complications – encephalitis, bronchopneumonia, etc.
Measles (also known as rubeola) is a disease caused by a virus, specifically a paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a generalized, maculopapular, erythematous rash.Measles is spread through respiration (contact with fluids from an infected person's nose and mouth, either directly or through aerosol transmission), and is highly contagious—90% of people without immunity sharing a house with an infected person will catch it. Airborne precautions should be taken for all suspected cases of measles. The incubation period usually lasts for 4–12 days (during which there are no symptoms). Infected people remain contagious from the appearance of the first symptoms until 3–5 days after the rash appears.'German measles' is an unrelated condition caused by the rubella virus.

MELANOMA (nonmalignant), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.
Melanoma is a malignant tumor of melanocytes which are found predominantly in skin but also in the bowel and the eye (see uveal melanoma). It is one of the rarer types of skin cancer but causes the majority of skin cancer related deaths. Malignant melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer. It is due to uncontrolled growth of pigment cells, called melanocytes. Despite many years of intensive laboratory and clinical research, the sole effective cure is surgical resection of the primary tumor before it achieves a Breslow thickness greater than 1 mm.Around 160,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed worldwide each year, and it is more frequent in males and caucasians. It is more common in caucasian populations living in sunny climates than other groups. According to a WHO Report about 48,000 melanoma related deaths occur worldwide per year.Malignant melanoma accounts for 75 percent of all deaths associated with skin cancer.The treatment includes surgical removal of the tumor; adjuvant treatment; chemo- and immunotherapy, or radiation therapy.

MENINGITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily per day.
Meningitis is a medical condition caused by inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. While some forms of meningitis are mild and resolve on their own, meningitis is a potentially life-threatening condition due to the inflammation's proximity to the brain and spinal cord. It is a medical emergency. The inflammation is usually caused by infection with bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms but may also arise due to certain drugs, or other diseases.The most common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion or altered consciousness, and an inability to tolerate bright light (photophobia) or loud noises (phonophobia). Sometimes, only nonspecific symptoms may be present: for example, meningitis in small children often causes only irritability and drowsiness, but no other clear symptoms. If a rash is present, it may indicate a particular cause of meningitis: for example, meningitis caused by meningococcus bacteria has a characteristic non-blanching rash.Meningitis is diagnosed by using a technique called lumbar puncture, which involves inserting a needle into the patient's spinal column to extract a sample of cerebrospinal fluid, the fluid that envelops the brain and spinal cord.Meningitis must be treated promptly with antibiotics and often antiviral drugs. In some situations, corticosteroid drugs can also be used to prevent complications from overactive inflammation. Meningitis can lead to serious long-term consequences such as deafness, epilepsy, hydrocephalus and cognitive deficit, especially if not treated quickly. Some forms of meningitis (such as those associated with meningococcus, Hemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcus or mumps virus infections) may be prevented by immunization. Meningitis is usually caused by infection with microorganisms. Most cases are due to infection with viruses (enterovirus, herpes simplex virus 2, varicella zoster virus, mumps and HIV), followed by bacteria, fungi, or parasites.The types of bacteria that cause bacterial meningitis vary by age group. In premature babies and newborn up to three months, common bacteria are Group B streptococcus (subtype III)–especially in the first week of life–and bacteria that normally inhabit the digestive tract such as Escherichia coli (carrying K1 antigen). Listeria monocytogenes (serotype IVb) may affect the newborn and occurs in epidemics. Older children are more commonly affected by Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus), Streptococcus pneumoniae (serotypes 6, 9, 14, 18 and 23) and those under five by Haemophilus influenzae type B (in areas without vaccination, see below). In adults, N. meningitidis and S. pneumoniae together cause 80% of all cases of meningitis, with increased risk of L. monocytogenes in those over 50. In trauma, neurosurgery, or other contact between the skin and the meninges, staphylococci are more likely, as well as infections with pseudomonas and related Gram-negative bacilli. The same pathogens are also more common in those with an impaired immune system. Tuberculous meningitis, meningitis due to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is more common in those from countries where tuberculosis is common, but is also encountered in those with immune problems, such as AIDS.
  

A severe case of meningococcal meningitis in which the petechial rash progressed to gangrene and required amputation of all limbs. The patient, Charlotte Cleverley-Bisman, became a poster child for a meningitis vaccination campaign in New Zealand.

MENINGOENCEPHALITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily and 4cc per 20 kg body weight, every 48 hours.
Meningoencephalitis (IPA: /ˌmɛnɪnˈgo ɛnˌsɛfəˈlaɪtɪs/, from Greek: meninges- membranes; enkephalos brain; and -itis inflammation) is a medical condition that simultaneously resembles both meningitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the meninges, and encephalitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the brain. Causative organisms include both viral and bacterial pathogens. Other causes include antibodies targeting amyloid beta peptide proteins which have been used during research on Alzheimer's disease. The disease is associated with high rates of mortality and severe morbidity. It was the claimed cause of death of the popular British TV presenter Christopher Price.

MONONUCLEOSIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 16 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 60 days.
Infectious mononucleosis (also known as Pfeiffer's disease, or as mono in the U.S. and more commonly known as glandular fever in other English-speaking countries) is an infectious, viral disease which most commonly occurs in adolescents and young adults. It is characterized by fever, sore throat and fatigue, along with several other possible signs and symptoms. It is primarily diagnosed by observation of symptoms, but suspicion can be confirmed by several diagnostic tests. It was first described as an infectious process by Emil Pfeiffer in 1889.

MUCOCUTANEOUS LYMPH NODE SYNDROME, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 24 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 24 days.
Kawasaki disease, also known as lymph node syndrome, mucocutaneous node disease, infantile polyarteritis and Kawasaki syndrome, is a poorly understood self-limited vasculitis that affects many organs, including the skin and mucous membranes, lymph nodes, blood vessel walls, and the heart. It does not seem to be contagious. It was first described in 1967 by Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki in Japan. An unknown virus may play a role as an inciting factor as well.

Genetic cause

HLA region of Chromosome 6. Changes in this area increase the probability of suffering MS.MS is not considered a hereditary disease. However, genetics may play a role in determining a person's susceptibility to MS.The risk of acquiring MS is higher in relatives of a person with the disease than in the general population, especially in the case of siblings, parents, and children. In the case of monozygotic twins, concordance occurs only in about 35% of cases, and half-siblings have a lower risk than full siblings, indicating a polygenic origin.

Apart from familial studies, specific genes have been linked with MS. Differences in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system—a group of genes in chromosome 6 that serves as the major histocompatibility complex in humans—increase the probability of suffering MS. Two other genes have been shown to be linked to MS. These are the IL2RA and the IL7RA, subunits of the receptor for interleukin 2 and interleukin 7 respectively. The HLA complex is involved in antigen presentation, which is crucial to the functioning of the immune system, while mutations in the IL2 and IL7 genes were already known to be associated with diabetes and other autoimmune conditions, supporting the notion that MS is an autoimmune disease. Other studies have linked genes in chromosome 5 with the disease.

Infectious cause

Genetic susceptibility can explain some of the geographic and epidemiological variations in MS incidence, like the high appearance of the disease among some families or the risk decline with genetic distance, but does not account for other phenomena, such as the changes in risk that occur with migration at an early age.An explanation for this epidemiology finding could be that some kind of infection, produced by a widespread microbe rather than a rare pathogen, is the origin of the disease. Different hypotheses have elaborated on the mechanism by which this may occur. The hygiene hypothesis proposes that exposure to several infectious agents early in life is protective against MS. MS would be an autoimmune reaction triggered in susceptible individuals by multiple infective microorganisms, with risk increasing with age at infection. The prevalence hypothesis proposes that the disease is due to a pathogen more common in regions of high MS prevalence. This pathogen is very common, causing in most individuals an asymptomatic persistent infection. Only in a few cases, and after many years since the original infection, does it bring demyelination. The hygiene hypothesis has received more support than the prevalence hypothesis.Evidence for viruses as a cause includes the presence of oligoclonal bands in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid of most patients, the association of several viruses with human demyelinating encephalomyelitis, and induction of demyelination in animals through viral infection. Human herpesviruses are a candidate group of viruses linked to MS; Varicella zoster virus has been found at high levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of MS patients, but the most reproduced finding is the reduced risk of having the disease in those who have never been infected by the Epstein-Barr virus. This goes against the hygiene hypothesis, since the non-infected have probably experienced a more hygienic upbringing. Other agents that have also been related with MS are human endogenous retroviruses and chlamydia pneumoniae.

Non-infectious environmental risk factors

Increased sun exposure has been linked with a lower risk of MS.MS is more common in people who live farther from the equator. Decreased sunlight exposure has been linked with a higher risk of MS. Decreased vitamin D production and intake has been the main biological mechanism used to explain the higher risk among those less exposed to sun. Severe stress may also be a risk factor although evidence is weak; parents who lost a child unexpectedly were more likely to develop MS than parents who had not. Smoking has also been shown to be an independent risk factor for developing MS. Association with occupational exposures and toxins—mainly solvents—has been evaluated, but no clear conclusions have been reached. Vaccinations were also considered as causal factors for the disease; however, most studies show no association between MS and vaccines.Gout occurs less than would statistically be expected in people with MS, and low levels of uric acid have been found in MS patients as compared to normal individuals. This led to the theory that uric acid, which can protect against oxidative stress from substances such as peroxynitrite, protects against MS, although its exact importance remains unknown. Several other possible risk factors, such as diet and hormone intake, have been investigated; however, more evidence is needed to confirm or refute their relation with the disease.Although some of these risk factors, including infection, are partly modifiable, only further research—especially clinical trials—will reveal whether their elimination can help prevent MS.

MUMPS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic.
Mumps or epidemic parotitis is a viral disease of the human species. The word "mumps" originally meant "to mumble", and came to be applied to the disease because of the side effects it causes. Prior to the development of vaccination and the introduction of a vaccine, it was a common childhood disease worldwide, and is still a significant threat to health in the third world.Painful swelling of the salivary glands (classically the parotid gland) is the most typical presentation. Painful testicular swelling and rash may also occur. The symptoms are generally not severe in children. In teenage males and men, complications such as infertility or subfertility are more common, although still rare in absolute terms.^,, The disease is generally self-limited, running its course before receding, with no specific treatment apart from controlling the symptoms with painkillers.

MYCOSIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.
Mycosis (plural: mycoses) is a condition in which fungi pass the resistance barriers of the human or animal body and establish infections.

MYELITIS, Start with low doses, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 7 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 7 days.
Myelitis is a disease involving swelling of the spinal cord, which disrupts central nervous system functions linking the brain and limbs.

MYOCARDITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
In medicine (cardiology), myocarditis is inflammation of the myocardium, the muscular part of the heart. It is generally due to infection (viral or bacterial). It may cause chest pain, rapid signs of heart failure, or sudden death.
A large number of different causes have been identified as leading to myocarditis:
Infectious:

• Viral (e.g. enterovirus, Coxsackie virus, rubella virus, polio virus, cytomegalovirus, possibly hepatitis C)
• Bacterial (e.g. brucella, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, gonococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, Actinomyces, Tropheryma whipplei, and Vibrio cholerae).
• Spirochetal (Borrelia burgdorferi and leptospirosis)
• Protozoal (Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma cruzi)
• Fungal (e.g. aspergillus)
• Parasitic: ascaris, Echinococcus granulosus, Paragonimus westermani, schistosoma, Taenia solium, Trichinella spiralis, visceral larva migrans, and Wuchereria bancrofti
• Rickettsial
• Immunological:
  • Allergic (e.g. acetazolamide, amitriptyline)
  • Rejection after a heart transplant
  • Autoantigens (e.g. systemic vasculitis such as Churg-Strauss syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis)
• Toxic:
  • Drugs (e.g. anthracyclines and some other forms of chemotherapy, ethanol, and antipsychotics, e.g. clozapine)
  • Toxins (e.g. arsenic, carbon monoxide, snake venom)
  • Heavy metals (e.g. copper, iron)
• Physical agents (electric shock, hyperpyrexia, and radiation)

Bacterial myocarditis is rare in patients without immunodeficiency.

NASITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.

NEPHRITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 12 days then 10 ml per day until cleared. Drink 2 liters of distilled water per day
Nephritis is inflammation of the kidney. The word comes from the Greek nephro- meaning "of the kidney" and -itis meaning "inflammation". Nephritis is often caused by infections, toxins, and auto-immune diseases.

NEURODERMATITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally where indicated 2 x daily.
Neurodermatitis is a term used to describe various forms of eczema:

• Lichen simplex chronicus and its cousin, prurigo nodularis; these are types of eczema that are thought to be self-caused, as by habitual scratching, or have unexplained origin, and are mostly localized; the older term was “localized or circumscribed neurodermatitis."
• Other types of "lichens" such as lichen striatus (aka linear neurodermatitis), which are part of the pruritic dermatoses spectrum.
• Atopic dermatitis – also known as childhood eczema; this usage is still common in parts of Europe; the older term was “disseminated neurodermatitis.”

There are still references in the older literature to the psychosomatic nature of these disorders, and their accompanying "psychogenic" itch. This is why the older terms had "neuro" in them: as a reference to the link with mental illness. There continues to be a suspicion of obsessive-compulsive behaviors leading to some forms of dermatitis.

NOCARDIOSIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily (may require treatment for 3 or 4 months).
Nocardiosis is an infectious disease affecting either the lungs (pulmonary nocardiosis) or the whole body (systemic nocardiosis). It is due to infection by bacterium of the genus Nocardia, most commonly Nocardia asteroides or Nocardia brasiliensis.It is most common in men, especially those with a compromised immune system. In patients with brain infection, mortality exceeds 80%; in other forms, mortality is 50%, even with appropriate therapy. Normally found in soil, these organisms cause occasional sporadic disease in humans and animals throughout the world. The usual mode of transmission is inhalation of organisms suspended in dust. Transmission by direct inoculation through puncture wounds or abrasions is less common. Generally, nocardial infection requires some degree of immune suppression.

ONYCHITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day, SoftSpot Silver externally to nail-bed 2 x daily.

OOPHORITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Oophoritis is an inflammation of the ovaries.It is often seen in combination with salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes).

ORCHITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily 8 to 12 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. 50ml via catheter.
Orchitis or Orchiditis is an often very painful condition of the testicles involving inflammation, swelling and frequently infection.
Infection is the most common cause of epididymitis. The bacteria in the urethra back-track through the urinary and reproductive structures to the epididymis. There can be associated urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). Rarely, the infection reaches the epididymis via the bloodstream.In sexually active men, Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for two-thirds of cases, followed by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and E. coli (or other bacteria that cause urinary tract infection). Less common microbes include Ureaplasma, Mycobacterium, and cytomegalovirus, or Cryptococcus in patients with HIV infection. E. coli is more common in boys before puberty, the elderly and homosexual men.Non-infectious causes are also possible. Reflux of sterile urine (urine without bacteria) through the ejaculatory ducts may cause inflammation with obstruction. In children, it may be a response following an infection with enterovirus, adenovirus or Mycoplasma pneumoniae.Epididymitis can also be caused by genito-urinary surgery, including prostatectomy and urinary catheterization. Congestive epididymitis is a long-term complication of vasectomy. Chemical epididymitis may also result from drugs such as amiodarone.

OSTEOMYELITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 to 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. NOTE: aspirate abscesses.
Osteomyelitis is an infection of bone or bone marrow, usually caused by pyogenic bacteria or mycobacteria. It can be usefully subclassified on the basis of the causative organism, the route, duration and anatomic location of the infection. Staphylococcus aureus is the organism most commonly isolated from all forms of osteomyelitis.

PAGET'S DISEASE (Osteitis deformans), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Paget's disease, otherwise known as osteitis deformans, is a chronic disorder that typically results in enlarged and deformed bones. It is named after Sir James Paget, the British surgeon who first described this disease. The excessive breakdown and formation of bone tissue that occurs with Paget's disease can cause bone to weaken, resulting in bone pain, arthritis, deformities, and fractures. Paget's disease may be caused by a slow virus infection (i.e., paramyxoviruses such as measles, Canine distemper virus, and respiratory syncytial virus), present for many years before symptoms appear. Most studies have pointed at either Canine distemper virus or Measles. There is also a hereditary factor since the disease may appear in more than one family member.Paget's disease is rarely diagnosed in people less than 40 years of age. Men are more commonly affected than women. Prevalence of Paget's disease ranges from 1.5 to 8 percent depending on age and country of residence. Prevalence of familial Paget's disease (where more than one family member has the disease) ranges from 10 to 40 percent in different parts of the world.Because early diagnosis and treatment is important, after age 40, siblings and children of someone with Paget's disease may wish to have an alkaline phosphatase blood test every two or three years. If the alkaline phosphatase level is above normal, other tests such as a bone-specific alkaline phosphatase test, bone scan, or x-ray can be performed.

PANCREATITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Acute pancreatitis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas. Depending on its severity, it can have severe complications and high mortality despite treatment. While mild cases are often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as NPO (abstaining from any oral intake) and IV fluid rehydration, severe cases may require admission to the ICU or even surgery (often more than one intervention) to deal with complications of the disease process.

PANENCEPHALITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 24 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.

PAPILLOMA, LARYNGEAL (virus) - remove tumors surgically, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 24 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Papilloma refers to a benign epithelial tumor growing exophytically (outwardly projecting) in finger-like fronds. In this context Papilla refers to the projection created by the tumor, not a tumor on an already existing papilla (such as the nipple.)When used without context, it frequently refers to infections caused by Human papillomavirus. However, there are other conditions that cause papilloma, such as Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP).Two types of papilloma often associated with HPV are "squamous cell papilloma" and "transitional cell papilloma" (also known as "bladder papilloma".)

PID (pelvic inflammatory disease), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. NOTE: cure is judged by negative culture of cervix and vagina
Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID) is a generic term for inflammation of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs. This may lead to tissue necrosis and sometimes abscess formation. Pus can be released into the peritoneum. Two thirds of patients with laparoscopic evidence of previous PID were not aware they had PID. PID is often associated with sexually transmitted diseases, as it is a common result of such infections. PID is a vague term and can refer to viral, fungal, parasitic, though most often bacterial infections. PID should be classified by affected organs, the stage of the infection, and the organism(s) causing it. Although an STD is often the cause, other routes are possible, including lymphatic, postpartum, postabortal (either miscarriage or abortion) or intrauterine device (IUD) related, and hematogenous spread.

PERICARDITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Pericarditis is an inflammation (-itis) of the pericardium (the fibrous sac surrounding the heart). Pericarditis is further classified according to the composition of the inflammatory exudate: serous, purulent, fibrinous, caseous, and hemorrhagic types are distinguished.Acute pericarditis is more common than chronic pericarditis, and can occur as a complication of infections, immunologic conditions, or heart attack.
Causes

• Idiopathic: No identifiable etiology found after routine testing.
• Viral infection, especially by Coxsackie virus (most common cause)
• Bacterial infection, especially by the Tuberculosis bacillus
• Fungal
• Immunologic conditions including lupus erythematosus (more common among women) or rheumatic fever
• Myocardial Infarction (Dressler's syndrome)
• Trauma to the heart, e.g. puncture, resulting in infection or inflammation
• Uremia
• Malignancy (as a paraneoplastic phenomenon)
• Side effect of some medications, e.g. isoniazid, cyclosporine, hydralazine
• Radiation induced
• Aortic dissection
• Tetracyclines
• Postpericardiotomy syndrome

PERITONITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily while infection lasts.
Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneum (the serous membrane which lines part of the abdominal cavity and some of the viscera it contains). It may be localised or generalised, generally has an acute course, and may depend on either infection (often due to rupture of a hollow organ as may occur in abdominal trauma) or on a non-infectious process. Peritonitis generally represents a surgical emergency.

PERTUSSIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for duration of symptoms.
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis; it derived its name from the characteristic severe hacking cough followed by intake of breath that sounds like "whoop"; a similar, milder disease is caused by B. parapertussis. Although many medical sources describe the whoop as "high-pitched", this is generally the case with infected babies and children only, not adults.Worldwide, there are 30–50 million pertussis cases and about 300,000 deaths per year. Despite generally high coverage with the DTP and DTaP vaccines, pertussis is one of the leading causes of vaccine-preventable deaths world-wide. Most deaths occur in young infants who are either unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated; three doses of the vaccine are necessary for complete protection against pertussis. Ninety percent of all cases occur in the developing world. Children tend to catch it more than adults.

PHARYNGITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 100 ml of water, gargle and then swallow, 2 x daily.
Pharyngitis (IPA: [ˌfarɪnˈdʒʌɪtɪs]) is, in most cases, a painful inflammation of the pharynx, and is colloquially referred to as a sore throat. Infection of the tonsils (tonsillitis) and/or larynx (laryngitis) may occur simultaneously, which can make eating painful and near impossible.About 90% of cases are caused by viral infection, with the remainder caused by bacterial infection and, in rare cases, oral thrush (fungal candidiasis e.g. in babies). Some cases of pharyngitis are caused by irritation from elements such as pollutants or chemical substances. The pharynx is often the first site of infection. This is because viruses and bacteria often settle in this part of the body after a person inhales dust or water vapour containing the microorganism. Infection can also arise when a person touches their nose or mouth after having touched an object shared with another person with the disease. The foreign invader reproduces rapidly after settling on the body tissue.

PHLEBITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Phlebitis is an inflammation of a vein, usually in the legs.When phlebitis is associated with the formation of blood clots (thrombosis), usually in the deep veins of the legs, the condition is called thrombophlebitis. These clots can travel to the lungs, causing a fatal pulmonary embolism.

PITYRIASIS (all types), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally to lesions and scales. Capitis see – dandruff
Pityriasis commonly refers to flaking of the skin.

PLAGUE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily until symptoms are under control then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. NOTE: Also use streptomycin or tetracycline.
Plague is a deadly infectious disease caused by the enterobacteria Yersinia pestis (Pasteurella pestis). Plague is a zoonotic, primarily carried by rodents (most notably rats) and spread to humans via fleas. Plague is notorious throughout history, due to the unprecedented scale of death and devastation it brought. Plague is still endemic in some parts of the world.

POST VIRAL FATIGUE SYNDROME, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 48 to 96 days. There are cases when virus still present systemically.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the most common name given to a poorly understood, variably debilitating disorder or disorders of uncertain causation.Symptoms of CFS include widespread muscle & joint pain, cognitive difficulties, chronic, often severe mental and physical exhaustion and other characteristic symptoms in a previously healthy and active person. Fatigue is a common symptom in many illnesses, but CFS is a multi-systemic disease and is relatively rare by comparison. Diagnosis requires a number of features, the most common being severe mental and physical exhaustion which is "unrelieved by rest" and is worsened by exertion. Most diagnostic criteria require that symptoms must be present for at least six months, and all state the symptoms must not be caused by other medical conditions. CFS patients may report many symptoms which are not included in all diagnostic criteria, including muscle weakness, cognitive dysfunction, hypersensitivity, orthostatic intolerance, digestive disturbances, depression, poor immune response, and cardiac and respiratory problems. It is unclear if these symptoms represent co-morbid conditions or are produced by an underlying etiology of CFS. The condition may be managed rather than treated, with full resolution in only 5-10% of cases.CFS is thought to have an incidence of 4 adults per 1,000 in the United States. For unknown reasons, CFS occurs more often in women than men, and in people in their 40s and 50s. The illness is estimated to be less prevalent among children and adolescents, but studies are contradictory as to the degree. Despite promising avenues of research there remains no medical test which is widely accepted to be diagnostic of CFS. It remains a diagnosis of exclusion based largely on patient history and symptomatic criteria, although a number of tests can aid diagnosis.Whereas there is agreement on the genuine threat to health, happiness, and productivity posed by CFS, various physicians groups, researchers, and patient activists promote different nomenclature, diagnostic criteria, etiologic hypotheses, and treatments, resulting in controversy about nearly all aspects of the disorder. The name CFS itself is controversial, as advocacy groups as well as some experts feel it trivializes the illness and have supported efforts to change it. The World Health Organization's ICD uses the terms post-viral fatigue syndrome and benign myalgic encephalomyelitis. Another alternative name for CFS is chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome.

PROSTATITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily till symptoms relieved then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver daily till clear.
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland in men. A prostatitis diagnosis is assigned at 8% of all urologists and 1% of all primary care physician visits in the United States. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is a bacterial infection of the prostate gland. It should be distinguished from other forms of prostatitis such as acute bacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS).

PRURIGO, -agria, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day in child, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day in adult. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. -raitis, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 24 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. -nodularis, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a skin disease characterised by pruritic (itchy) nodules which usually appear on the arms or legs. Patients often present with multiple excoriated lesions caused by scratching. PN is also known as Hyde prurigo nodularis, Picker nodules, lichen simplex chronicus, atypical nodular form of neurodermatitis circumscripta, lichen corneus obtusus.

PYELONEPHRITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Pyelonephritis is an ascending urinary tract infection that has reached the pyelum (pelvis) of the kidney (nephros in Greek). If the infection is severe, the term "urosepsis" is used interchangeably (sepsis being a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to infection). It requires antibiotics as therapy, and treatment of any underlying causes to prevent recurrence. It is a form of nephritis. It can also be called pyelitis. Most cases of "community-acquired" pyelonephritis are due to bowel organisms that enter the urinary tract. Common organisms are E. coli (70-80%) and Enterococcus faecalis. Hospital-acquired infections may be due to coliforms and enterococci, as well as other organisms uncommon in the community (e.g. Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Most cases of pyelonephritis start off as lower urinary tract infections, mainly cystitis and prostatitis.

PHYODERMATITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.

PSORIASIS (infectious), 5 ml 2 X daily to 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily depending on severity of condition. SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. Always suspect infections, often environmental factors irritate the infection causing a belief that outbreak is from the environment.
Psoriasis (pronounced /səˈraɪəsɪs/) (suh-RI-uh-sus) is a non-contagious disorder which affects the skin and joints. It commonly causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and takes on a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals. In contrast to eczema, psoriasis is more likely to be found on the extensor aspect of the joint.The disorder is a chronic recurring condition which varies in severity from minor localised patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected (psoriatic nail dystrophy) - and can be seen as an isolated finding. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis. Ten to fifteen percent of people with psoriasis have psoriatic arthritis.The cause of psoriasis is not known, but it is believed to have a genetic component. Several factors are thought to aggravate psoriasis. These include stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking.. There are many treatments available but because of its chronic recurrent nature psoriasis is a challenge to treat.
  
PURPURA - allergic, bacterial, or Schonlein-Henoch (vasculitis), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily.
Purpura (from the Latin, purpura, meaning "purple") is the appearance of red or purple discolorations on the skin that do not blanch on applying pressure. They are caused by bleeding underneath the skin. Purpura measure 0.3-1cm, while petechiae measure less than 3mm, and ecchymoses greater than 1cm.This is common with typhus and can be present with meningitis caused by meningococcal meningitis or septicaemia.
 

RELAPSING FEVER, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. NOTE: tetracycline effective.
Relapsing fever (synonym: typhinia) is an infection caused by certain bacteria in the genus Borrelia. It is a vector-borne disease that is transmitted through louse or soft-bodied tick bites.

RHINITIS, 5 ml 2 X daily or 10 ml 2 X daily SoftSpot Silver (depending on severity) for 8 days then reduce dosage to 5 ml 2 X daily daily until symptoms resolve. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally in nostrils 2 X daily.
Rhinitis is the medical term describing irritation and inflammation of some internal areas of the nose. The primary symptom of rhinitis is a runny nose or nasal dripping. It is caused by chronic or acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose due to viruses, bacteria or irritants. The inflammation results in the generating of excessive amounts of mucus, commonly producing the aforementioned runny nose, as well as nasal congestion and post-nasal drip. According to recent studies completed in the United States, more than fifty million Americans are current sufferers. Rhinitis has also been found to adversely affect more than just the nose, throat, and eyes. It has been associated with sleeping problems, ear conditions, and even learning problems. Rhinitis is caused by an increase in histamine. This increase is likely caused by airborne allergens. These allergens may affect an individual's nose, throat, or eyes and cause an increase in fluid production within these areas.

RINGWORM (fungus), apply SoftSpot Silver externally 3 x daily. Works quickly.
Ringworm (also called serpigo) is an infection of the skin, characterized by a reddish to brownish raised or bumpy patch of skin that may be lighter in the center, giving the appearance of a “ring.” It can exist anywhere on the body. Depending on its location, it is also known as tinea pedis or "athlete's foot" when on the feet, tinea cruris or "jock itch" when on the groin area, tinea corporis when on the body, where it is most commonly referred to as ringworm, or tinea capitis when on the scalp. Contrary to its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm but by parasitic fungi (Dermatophytosis).Fungi are organisms that survive by eating plant or animal material, those that cause parasitic infection (dermatophytes) feed on keratin, the material found in the outer layer of skin, hair, and nails. These fungi thrive best on skin that is moist, hot, and hidden from the light. Together with the other dermatophytosis, up to twenty percent of the population has one of these infections at any given moment.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is the most severe and most frequently reported rickettsial illness in the United States. It has been diagnosed throughout the Americas. Some synonyms for Rocky Mountain spotted fever in other countries include “tick typhus,” “Tobia fever” (Colombia), “São Paulo fever” or “febre maculosa” (Brazil), and “fiebre manchada” (Mexico). It should not be confused with the viral tick-borne infection, Colorado tick fever. The disease is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a species of bacterium that is spread to humans by ixodid (hard) ticks. Initial signs and symptoms of the disease include sudden onset of fever, headache, and muscle pain, followed by development of rash. The disease can be difficult to diagnose in the early stages, and without prompt and appropriate treatment it can be fatal.The name “Rocky Mountain spotted fever” is somewhat of a misnomer. Beginning in the 1930s, it became clear that this disease occurred in many areas of the United States other than the Rocky Mountain region. It is now recognized that this disease is broadly distributed throughout the continental United States, and occurs as far north as Canada and as far south as Central America, Mexico, and parts of South America. Between 1981 and 1996, this disease was reported from every U.S. state except Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, and Alaska.Rocky Mountain spotted fever remains a serious and potentially life-threatening infectious disease today. Despite the availability of effective treatment and advances in medical care, approximately 3% to 5% of individuals who become ill with Rocky Mountain spotted fever still die from the infection. However, effective antibiotic therapy has dramatically reduced the number of deaths caused by Rocky Mountain spotted fever; before the discovery of tetracycline and chloramphenicol in the late 1940s, as many as 30% of persons infected with R. rickettsii died.
 

SALPINGITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Salpingitis is an infection and inflammation in the fallopian tubes. It is often used synonymously with PID, although PID lacks an accurate definition and can refer to several diseases of the female upper genital tract, such as endometritis, oophoritis, myometritis, parametritis and infection in the pelvic peritoneum . In contrast, salpingitis only refers to infection and inflammation in the fallopian tubes.

SANDFLY FEVER, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites that belong to the genus Leishmania and is transmitted by the bite of certain species of sand fly, including flies in the genus Lutzomyia in the New World and Phlebotomus in the Old World. The disease was named in 1901 after the Scottish pathologist William Boog Leishman. This disease is also known as Leichmaniosis, Leishmaniose, leishmaniose, and formerly, Orient Boils, Baghdad Boil, kala azar, black fever, sandfly disease, Dum-Dum fever or espundia.Most forms of the disease are transmissible only from animals (zoonosis), but some can be spread between humans. Human infection is caused by about 21 of 30 species that infect mammals. These include the L. donovani complex with three species (L. donovani, L. infantum, and L. chagasi); the L. mexicana complex with 3 main species (L. mexicana, L. amazonensis, and L. venezuelensis); L. tropica; L. major; L. aethiopica; and the subgenus Viannia with four main species (L. (V.) braziliensis, L. (V.) guyanensis, L. (V.) panamensis, and L. (V.) peruviana). The different species are morphologically indistinguishable, but they can be differentiated by isoenzyme analysis, DNA sequence analysis, or monoclonal antibodies.Visceral leishmaniasis is a severe form in which the parasites have migrated to the vital organs.
 

SCRUB TYPHUS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Scrub typhus is a form of typhus caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi.Although it is similar in presentation to other forms of typhus, it is caused by an agent in a different Genus, and is frequently classified separately from the other typhi.

SCLERODERMA, -capiti - see dandruff, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily 16 to 32 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily 1 hour before washing hair. -congestive, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. -corporis, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 x daily. –facici, see congestive. -sicca, see dandruff.
Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by a hardening or sclerosis in the skin or other organs. The localized type of the disease, known as "morphea", while disabling, tends not to be fatal. The systemic type or systemic sclerosis, the generalized type of the disease, can be fatal, as a result of heart, kidney, lung or intestinal damage. There is no clear obvious cause for scleroderma and systemic sclerosis. Genetic predisposition appears to be limited: genetic concordance is small; still, there often is a familial predisposition for autoimmune disease. Polymorphisms in COL1A2 and TGF-β1 may influence severity and development of the disease. There is limited evidence implicating cytomegalovirus (CMV) as the original epitope of the immune reaction, and organic solvents and other chemical agents have been linked with scleroderma.One of the suspected mechanisms behind the autoimmune phenomenon is the existence of microchimerism, i.e. fetal cells circulating in maternal blood, triggering an immune reaction to what is perceived as "foreign" material.A distinct form of scleroderma and systemic sclerosis may develop in patients with chronic renal failure. This entity, nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy or nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, has been linked to the exposure to gadolinium-containing radiocontrast.Bleomycin (a chemotherapeutic agent) and possibly taxane chemotherapy may cause scleroderma, and occupational exposure to solvents has been linked with an increased risk of systemic sclerosis.
 

SEPTICEMIA, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 3 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day. -fungal, start with low dose 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 5 days.
Sepsis is a serious medical condition characterized by a whole-body inflammatory state (called a systemic inflammatory response syndrome or SIRS) caused by infection. The body may develop this inflammatory response to microbes in the blood. The related layman's term is blood poisoning.Sepsis is usually treated in the intensive care unit with intravenous fluids and antibiotics. If fluid replacement is insufficient to maintain blood pressure, specific vasopressor drugs can be used. Artificial ventilation and dialysis may be needed to support the function of the lungs and kidneys, respectively. To guide therapy, a central venous catheter and an arterial catheter may be placed. Sepsis patients require preventive measures for deep vein thrombosis, stress ulcers and pressure ulcers, unless other conditions prevent this. Some patients might benefit from tight control of blood sugar levels with insulin (targeting stress hyperglycemia), low-dose corticosteroids or activated drotrecogin alfa (recombinant protein C).Severe sepsis occurs when sepsis leads to organ dysfunction, low blood pressure (hypotension) or insufficient blood flow (hypoperfusion) to one or more organs (causing, for example, lactic acidosis, decreased urine production or altered mental status). Sepsis can lead to septic shock, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (formerly known as multiple organ failure) and death. Organ dysfunction results from sepsis-induced hypotension (< 90 mmHg or a reduction of ≥ 40 mmHg from baseline) and diffuse intravascular coagulation, among other things.Bacteremia is the presence of viable bacteria in the bloodstream. Likewise, the terms viremia and fungemia simply refer to viruses and fungi in the bloodstream. These terms say nothing about the consequences this has on the body. For example, bacteria can be introduced into the bloodstream during toothbrushing. This form of bacteremia almost never causes problems in normal individuals. However, bacteremia associated with certain dental procedures can cause bacterial infection of the heart valves (known as endocarditis) in high risk patients. Conversely, a systemic inflammatory response syndrome can occur in patients without the presence of infection, for example in those with burns, polytrauma, or the initial state in pancreatitis and chemical pneumonitis. Septicemia is an ill-defined term referring to the presence of bacteria or their toxins in the blood. The term improperly mixes components of bacteremia and sepsis, and has been abandoned as a concept.

SHINGLES, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 16 days until asymptomatic. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily around pain area.
Herpes zoster (or simply zoster), commonly known as shingles, is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters in a limited area on one side of the body, often in a stripe. The initial infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes the acute (short-lived) illness chickenpox, and generally occurs in children and young people. Once an episode of chickenpox has resolved, the virus is not eliminated from the body but can go on to cause shingles—an illness with very different symptoms—often many years after the initial infection.Varicella zoster virus can become latent in the nerve cell bodies and less frequently in non-neuronal satellite cells of dorsal root, cranial nerve or autonomic ganglion, without causing any symptoms. In an immunocompromised individual, perhaps years or decades after a chickenpox infection, the virus may break out of nerve cell bodies and travel down nerve axons to cause viral infection of the skin in the region of the nerve. The virus may spread from one or more ganglia along nerves of an affected segment and infect the corresponding dermatome (an area of skin supplied by one spinal nerve) causing a painful rash. Although the rash usually heals within two to four weeks, some sufferers experience residual nerve pain for months or years, a condition called postherpetic neuralgia. Exactly how the virus remains latent in the body, and subsequently re-activates is not understood.Throughout the world the incidence rate of herpes zoster every year ranges from 1.2 to 3.4 cases per 1,000 healthy individuals, increasing to 3.9–11.8 per year per 1,000 individuals among those older than 65 years. Antiviral drug treatment can reduce the severity and duration of herpes zoster, if a seven to ten day course of these drugs is started within 72 hours of the appearance of the characteristic rash.
 

SINUSITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily first day then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until clear then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver daily for 7 to 14 days. Also irrigate 2 X daily with 10 ml SoftSpot Silver in 100 ml of distilled water for nasal irrigation.
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may or may not be as a result of infection, from bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic or autoimmune issues. Newer classifications of sinusitis refer to it as rhinosinusitis, taking into account the thought that inflammation of the sinuses cannot occur without some inflammation of the nose as well (rhinitis).

SJOGREN'S SYNDROME (systemic virus), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until muscle pains are gone then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 48 to 72 days (longer if indicated).
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands that produce tears and saliva.It is named after Swedish ophthalmologist Henrik Sjögren (1899-1986), who first described it.Nine out of ten Sjögren's patients are women and the average age of onset is late 40s, although Sjögren's occurs in all age groups in both women and men. It is estimated to strike as many as 4 million people in the United States alone making it the second most common autoimmune rheumatic disease.

SPRUE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until asymptomatic.
Coeliac disease (pronounced /ˈsiːli.æk/), also spelled celiac disease, is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine that occurs in genetically predisposed people of all ages from middle infancy. Symptoms include chronic diarrhoea, failure to thrive (in children), and fatigue, but these may be absent and symptoms in all other organ systems have been described. It is estimated to affect about 1% of all Indo-European populations, but is thought to be significantly underdiagnosed. A growing portion of diagnoses are being made in asymptomatic persons as a result of increased screening.Coeliac disease is caused by a reaction to gliadin, a gluten protein found in wheat (and similar proteins of the tribe Triticeae which includes other cultivars such as barley and rye). Upon exposure to gliadin, the enzyme tissue transglutaminase modifies the protein, and the immune system cross-reacts with the bowel tissue, causing an inflammatory reaction. That leads to flattening of the lining of the small intestine (called villous atrophy). This interferes with the absorption of nutrients because the intestinal villi are responsible for absorption. The only effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. While the disease is caused by a reaction to wheat proteins, it is not the same as wheat allergy.This condition has several other names, including: cœliac disease (with "œ" ligature), c(o)eliac sprue, non-tropical sprue, endemic sprue, gluten enteropathy or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and gluten intolerance. The term coeliac derives from the Greek κοιλιακός (koiliakόs, abdominal), and was introduced in the 19th century in a translation of what is generally regarded as an ancient Greek description of the disease by Aretaeus of Cappadocia.

STREPTICEMIA, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 6 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 16 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily.
Streptococcus is a genus of spherical Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes and the lactic acid bacteria group. Cellular division occurs along a single axis in these bacteria, and thus they grow in chains or pairs, hence the name — from Greek στρεπτος streptos, meaning easily bent or twisted, like a chain. Contrast this with staphylococci, which divide along multiple axes and generate grape-like clusters of cells.Streptococci are oxidase- and catalase-negative.

SUNBURN, Apply SoftSpot Silver externally where needed 2 x daily.

SURGERY, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily to prevent infection. Start dose 10 days before scheduled surgery, continue dose post-op for 12 days. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily until healed.

SYPHILIS, syphilis is on the increase all over the world. Penicillin is the treatment of choice for all types and stages. If patient is allergic to Penicillin, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline or erythromycin can be substituted. Some individuals are allergic to all anti-biotics, and at the present rate of pathogen mutation, the treponema pallidum spirochete causing syphilis could produce a mutation resistant to anti-biotics. The following suggested protocol is for all stages of Syphilis—10 ml SoftSpot Silver 4 x daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 16 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until testing negative.
Syphilis (pronounced siff-ill-iss) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacteria (germ). It progresses in stages and without treatment, can lead to death. Syphilis can be spread during vaginal, anal, or oral sex through contact with an open sore or contact with a skin rash.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochetal bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The route of transmission of syphilis is almost always through sexual contact, although there are examples of congenital syphilis via transmission from mother to child in utero.

The signs and symptoms of syphilis are numerous; before the advent of serological testing, precise diagnosis was very difficult. In fact, the disease was dubbed the "Great Imitator" because it was often confused with other diseases, particularly in its tertiary stage.

Syphilis can generally be treated with antibiotics, including penicillin. One of the oldest and still the most effective method is an intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin. If left untreated, syphilis can damage the heart, aorta, brain, eyes, and bones. In some cases these effects can be fatal. In 1998, the complete genetic sequence of T. pallidum was published, which may aid understanding of the pathogenesis of syphilis.

TELANGITIS, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until clear.

THROMBOSIS, Dose patient scheduled for surgery with butcher's broom (l., aculeatus ruscus) If infection is present with thrombosis 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until infection cleared.

TONSILLITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 4 x daily until clear.
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils and will often, but not necessarily, cause a sore throat and fever.

TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME (Staph infection toxins), 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic. NOTE: Douche daily with 1 part H202 to 2 parts H20.
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a bacterial toxin. Different bacterial toxins may cause toxic shock syndrome, depending on the situation. The causative-positive bacteria include Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Streptococcal TSS is sometimes referred to as Toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS).

TRACHEITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 8 days then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily until asymptomatic.
Tracheitis (also known as Bacterial tracheitis or Acute bacterial tracheitis) is a bacterial infection of the trachea and is capable of producing airway obstruction.One of the most common causes is Staphylococcus aureus and often follows a recent viral upper respiratory infection. It is the most serious in young children, possibly because of the relatively small size of the trachea that gets easily blocked by swelling. The most frequent sign is the rapid development of stridor. It is occasionally confused with croup.

TRENCH FEVER, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 8 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day.
Trench fever is a moderately serious disease transmitted by body lice. It infected armies in Flanders, France, Poland, Galicia, Italy, Salonika, Macedonia, Mesopotamia, and Egypt in World War I (one noted sufferer being author J.R.R. Tolkien) and the German army in Russia during World War II. From 1915 to 1918 between one-fifth and one-third of all British troops reported ill had trench fever while about one-fifth of ill German and Austrian troops had the disease. The disease persists among the homeless. Outbreaks have been documented, for example, in Seattle and Baltimore in the United States among injection drug users and in Marseille, France and Burundi.Trench fever is also called Wolhynia fever, shin bone fever, quintan fever, five-day fever, Meuse fever, His disease and His-Werner disease (after Wilhelm His, Jr. and Heinrich Werner).The disease is caused by the bacterium Bartonella quintana (older names: Rochalimea quintana, Rickettsia quintana), found in the stomach walls of the body louse. Bartonella quintana is closely related to Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat scratch fever.

TUBERCULOSIS, Mutated tuberculosis micro-organisms are resistant to anti-biotics, or are immune to them. Mutations do not seem to change the efficacy of SoftSpot Silver therapy. 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 4 x daily for 4 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 X daily for 20 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until testing negative.
Tuberculosis (abbreviated as TB for tubercle bacillus or Tuberculosis) is a common and often deadly infectious disease caused by mycobacteria, mainly Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs (as pulmonary TB) but can also affect the central nervous system, the lymphatic system, the circulatory system, the genitourinary system, the gastrointestinal system, bones, joints, and even the skin. Other mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium africanum, Mycobacterium canetti, and Mycobacterium microti also cause tuberculosis, but these species are less common.The typical symptoms of tuberculosis are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Infection of other organs causes a wide range of symptoms. The diagnosis relies on radiology (commonly chest X-rays), a tuberculin skin test, blood tests, as well as microscopic examination and microbiological culture of bodily fluids. Tuberculosis treatment is difficult and requires long courses of multiple antibiotics. Contacts are also screened and treated if necessary. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem in (extensively) multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. Prevention relies on screening programs and vaccination, usually with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG vaccine).Tuberculosis is spread through the air, when people who have the disease cough, sneeze, or spit. One third of the world's current population have been infected with M. tuberculosis, and new infections occur at a rate of one per second. However, most of these cases will not develop the full-blown disease; asymptomatic, latent infection is most common. About one in ten of these latent infections will eventually progress to active disease, which, if left untreated, kills more than half of its victims. In 2004, mortality and morbidity statistics included 14.6 million chronic active cases, 8.9 million new cases, and 1.6 million deaths, mostly in developing countries. In addition, a rising number of people in the developed world are contracting tuberculosis because their immune systems are compromised by immunosuppressive drugs, substance abuse, or AIDS. The distribution of tuberculosis is not uniform across the globe with about 80% of the population in many Asian and African countries testing positive in tuberculin tests, while only 5-10% of the US population testing positive. It is estimated that the US has 25,000 new cases of tuberculosis each year, 40% of which occur in immigrants from countries where tuberculosis is endemic.

UNDULANT FEVER, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until infection gone
Brucellosis, also called undulant fever, or Malta fever, is a highly contagious zoonosis caused by ingestion of unsterilized milk or meat from infected animals, or close contact with their secretions. Brucella spp. are small, gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods, which function as facultative intracellular parasites that cause chronic disease, which usually persists for life. Brucellosis has been recognized in both animals and humans since the 19th century.

VAGINITIS, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until pain gone then 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until symptoms completely resolve.
Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and often associated with an irritation or infection of the vulva leading to vulvovaginitis. It is a common problem.
Vulvovaginitis can affect women of all ages and is very common. Specific forms of vaginitis are:
Infection
Infectious vaginitis accounts for 90% of all cases in reproductive age women and is represented by the triad:

• Candidiasis: vaginitis caused by Candida albicans (a yeast),
• Bacterial vaginosis: vaginitis caused by Gardnerella (a bacterium).

Other less common infections are caused by gonorrhea, chlamydia, mycoplasma, herpes, campylobacter and some parasites.
Hormonal
Hormonal vaginitis includes atrophic vaginitis usually found in postmenopausal or postpartum women. Sometimes it can occur in young girls before puberty. In these situations the estrogen support of the vagina is poor.
Irritation/allergy
Irritant vaginitis can be caused by allergies to condoms, spermicides, soaps, perfumes, douches, lubricants and semen. It can also be caused by hot tubs, abrasion, tissue, tampons or topical medications.
Foreign body
Foreign Body Vaginitis: Foreign bodies (most commonly retained tampons or condoms) cause extremely malodorous vaginal discharges. Treatment consists of removal, for which ring forceps may be useful. Further treatment is generally not necessary.
Role of STDs
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) can be a cause of vaginal discharge. Chlamydia and gonorrhea testing should be done whenever a sexually active individual complains of vaginal discharge even when the cervix appears normal.
Diabetes
Women who have diabetes develop infectious vaginitis more often than women who do not.

VERRUCA (warts), -acuminata, 5 ml SoftSpot Silver 2 x daily. Apply SoftSpot Silver externally 2 X daily or 3 x daily.
A wart (also known as verruca) is generally a small, rough tumor, typically on hands and feet but often other locations, that can resemble a cauliflower or a solid blister. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are contagious when in contact with the skin of an infected person. It is also possible to get warts from using towels or other objects. They typically disappear after a few months but can last for years and can recur.

WEIL'S DISEASE, 10 ml SoftSpot Silver 3 X daily for 16 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic.
Leptospirosis (also known as Weil's disease, canicola fever, canefield fever, nanukayami fever, 7-day fever and many more) is a bacterial zoonotic disease caused by spirochaetes of the genus Leptospira that affects humans and a wide range of animals, including mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. It was first described by Adolf Weil in 1886 when he reported an "acute infectious disease with enlargement of spleen, jaundice and nephritis". Leptospira was first observed in 1907 from a post mortem renal tissue slice.Though being recognised among the world's most common zoonoses, leptospirosis is a relatively rare bacterial infection in humans. The infection is commonly transmitted to humans by allowing fresh water that has been contaminated by animal urine to come in contact with unhealed breaks in the skin, eyes or with the mucous membranes. Outside of tropical areas, leptospirosis cases have a relatively distinct seasonality with most of them occurring August-September/February-March. Leptospirosis is caused by a spirochaete bacterium called Leptospira spp. that has at least 5 serovars of importance in the United States and Canada causing disease in dogs (Icterohaemorrhagiae, Canicola, Pomona, Grippotyphosa, and Bratislava There are other (less common) infectious strains. It should however be noted that genetically different leptospira organisms may be identical serologically and vice versa. Hence, an argument exists on the basis of strain identification. The traditional serologic system is seemingly more useful from a diagnostic and epidemiologic standpoint at the moment (which may change with further development and spread of technologies like PCR).

ZYGOMYCOSIS (fungus), 5 ml SoftSpot Silver per day for 7 days then 10 ml SoftSpot Silver per day until asymptomatic.
Zygomycosis is the broadest term to refer to an infection caused by fungi of the zygomycetes order. Zygomycosis can refer to mucormycosis, phycomycosis and basidiobolomycosis, rare yet serious and potentially life-threatening fungal infections, usually affecting the face or oropharyngeal cavity. Zygomycosis is often caused by common fungi which can be found in soil and decaying vegetation. While most individuals are exposed to the fungi on a regular basis those with immune disorders are more prone to an infection. As such, it usually infects those who are immunocompromised.The condition can be caused by several fungi including Mucor, Rhizopus, Apophysomyces, Absidia, Mortierella, Cunninghamella, Saksenaea, Syncephalastrum and Cokeromyces, although the spectrum is much wider and can also contain Entomophthorales, Basidiobolus ranarum or Mucorales.Occasionally, when caused by Pythium or similar fungi, the condition may affect the gastrointestinal tract or the skin. It usually begins in the nose and paranasal sinuses and is one of the most rapidly spreading fungal infections in humans. Common symptoms include thrombosis and tissue necrosis. Treatment consists of prompt and intensive antifungal drug therapy and surgery to remove dead tissue. The prognosis varies vastly depending upon an individual patient's circumstances.Basidiobolomycosis is a form of zygomycosis caused by the fungus B. ranarum, which has been isolated throughout the world from decaying vegetation and soil and from the GI tracts of reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insectivorous bats.



Ulcerative and destructive skin lesion on a dog caused by Pythium insidiosum
