I have now used CS on a few different things on my pets and myself. I have noticed that it seems to work quite well at healing topically, as long as there is NO infection deep inside the wound. I say this because I had used CS on my Pretty's bumblefoot as a soak (CS/dmso) and CS straight as a solution to wet the gauze wrap. The CS worked wonderfully at healing the outer skin of her foot. In fact, it healed it very very quickly, in days instead of weeks as is expected for this type of staph infection. BUT there must have been some underlying infection and that was untouched, or so it seemed because it grew totally out of control within 2 or 3 days to the point of a nasty, pus-filled abcess. But the outer part of her foot looked fine and was almost totally healed.
I stopped using the CS with or without the dmso until I healed the inner infection (with penicillin IM and injected straight into her foot plus lancing/draining of the wound). THEN I will start on the CS again to heal the outer part of her foot, if it still needs it. So far this is working very well and she is healing slowly. Again, if her foot hadn't blown up like a balloon and started oozing pus I would never had known anything was still wrong. The outer part of her foot looked great, like brand new skin. Just wanted to bring this up because I really like CS and I drink it daily and feel great (while others around me are catching colds, flu, etc....) . I just think it has it's place in our arsenalt of remedies we can use to keep well. Not just the silver bullet. Like many things in life: do reasonable research, make an informed decision and most of all, believe in the remedy and in yourself. We carry/contain great power to heal if we just believe and trust in ourselves and our decisions and not beat ourselves up when things don't work out the way we want them to. Our whole trip from beginning to end is a big, wonderful learning experience. (Just my opinion of course.)
