Sure if you don't mind getting heavy metal poisoning. Get something sensible - silver kills bacteria yes but it does so because it is poison - to people and bacteria. I know sooooo many people who are looking to homeopathy to try to get rid of all that toxic silver they used wioth good intention and supposedly the best " quality " . Silver is silver - it takes the place of lighter metals in chemical reactions - has to, in order to kill bacteria - but your body is then STUCK with it. .....Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc; AASCA; MCSSA; D.I.Hom.

Tat is why the latest method of administering drugs is in topical creams. In fact the stomach can DE-toxify some things our skins can not detoxify, by " digesting " them - chemically changing them. Things we absorb through skin are even more capable of poisoning us if anything - not less so. I am ure Dr D knows that - it doesn't take too much moxy to figure that out. Perhaps he was misquoted. ...Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc; AASCA; MCSSA; D.I.Hom.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Yes it is a much more complicated question, but the main concern was about lectins in foods. You aren't going to get enough of those through the skin and to where they are going to do the type of damage that we are concerned about with dietary lectins. I also guarantee that there are a lot of other components in that ester c that help it get absorbed. An example here: Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Vitis vinifera (Grapeseed), Koshur Vegetable Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice, Propylene Glycol, Coenzyme Q10, Lecithin, D-Alpha Tocotrenols, Vitamin-C-Ester, DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA), Castor Oil, Methyl Parabens. Magnesium is another example of a mineral that is absorbed through the skin, epsom salts baths are another way to increase magnesium without supplements. I was reading about that with my tendonitis. It's improved greatly, no big relapse after finishing the bextra. I'm taking ginger root twice a day, turmeric extract once a day, will probably add a cayenne capsule once a day. I try to take a little something through the day. Oh, I also added Deflect O, 2 a day, the N-acetyl-glucosamine is helpful in that product. Haven't even used the bromelain yet, but I may go ahead, I still get some stiffening by evening, though full mobility in the morning. Someone told me that bromelain might also help with regaining my sense of smell. I would be getting double duty. Thanks every one here for the suggestions. I still also have boswellia as a back up if there are recurrences too. Sorry to veer off subject as I tend to do, but thanks. > > Lipophilic drugs do pass through the skin easily and a lot of work is > > done to make patches, etc. work, but most things do not. > > Sorry but this is not true.
