Brilliant if you ever burn yourself tho - pain reduction and healing - unsurpassed - they don't use it in hospitals here any more unfortunately. I thought here it was OTC.

The most silver I ever used on a patient was a girl who in a caesarian section with epidural who had been terribly burned by the diathermy they used - not feeling anything at the time - and the hospital had to pay for the dressings - it would have been about $70 a day for the dressings alone. 3rd degree burns on both upper thighs. Awful. Jane From: Harold Recently, my 89 year old neighbour lady had a severe fall in which a flap of skin approx. 2” x 5” was peeled back off her shin.The Dermatologist specialist said a skin graft would normally be the procedure ,but, in her case, being 89+, this was too risky.He ,instead, used a silver impregnated bandage to dress it.This bandage had to be replaced every day.After a few days the Dr. was very pleased as the wound was healing beautifully.Needless to say,both she and her husband were pleased too. Glad to know some of them are getting the message. Harold No virus found in this message. Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2012.0.2176 / Virus Database: 2425/5008 - Release Date: 05/18/12
