Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Some hernias repair themselves. In horses there is a folk remedy but darn if I can remember it in detail. Try a few horse forums on the web and ask for remedies for hernias. I know some close on their own but am not sure how long it takes, more than two weeks. Betadine ointment mixed with table sugar to the consistency of runny peanut butter is a fav remedy that we used when breeding horses. It will thicken over night so make it runny. This was tested in 500 people against all know topical antbiotics and was superior to all of them. The American Farrier's Journal site may reference the article. That is where I learned about it 20years ago. I have packed dog bites with it after a fight and not been able to find the hole the next day. One treatment and no infection. It sticks pretty well too. DMSO with Colloidal Silver might just penetrate too much and not get a high enough level, then again it might be good to go deeper. Personally I would probably use both since I have both around.
