Topic: Brown Recluse Spider Bite

Although I have never personally seen the treatment, I have been informed by two independent researchers that utilizing healing clay poultices on the area greatly assisted the recovery of brown recluse spider bites. Hydrating the healing clay with isolated colloidal silver is even a better idea; I've seen rapid responses with other types of bites.

The treatment must be utilized as often as possible... Dressings changed about 3 times daily. It is far better if one has a supply of healing clay pre-prepared and utilizes it immediately upon being bitten; switching between utilizing the clay and utilizing isolated silver directly to the area.

Topic: Brown Recluse Spider Bite

My brother-in-law was bitten on the hand by a brown recluse. He waited a day to tell me. By the time he came to me his hand had swollen so bad he could no longer make a fist.

I immediately applied a calcium bentonite clay hydrated with 10 ppm colloidal silver as a poultice to the bite about an inch thick and covering the entire back of his hand. We then wrapped it and secured it with an ace bandage. We changed the clay twice a day for 3 days.

By day 3 the swelling had gone completely away and you could only see 2 small white marks where the fangs had hit him. He suffered no necrosis.

[ Eytons' Earth commented in a further email, commenting on how quickly the bite may have healed had the clay been applied immediately. In fact there are times when a bite may have been more "serious" than we'd ever known, but was readily taken care of utilizing healing clay. Response follows. ]

I can only guess that he would not have swelled at all had he applied clay immediately. As a result of the swelling he suffered itchiness of the skin where it stretched. Fortunately he had the self control not to scratch it but he did complain quite a bit about the itch.

Topic: Brown Recluse Spider Bite

 

A couple of years ago my wife was stung on her ankle by what we believe must have been a brown recluse spider. She did not feel anything until she scratched a mild itch on the ankle. Then the pain started. Within a few hours the pain was intense and the wound had started ulcerating.

We applied Colloidal Silver to the wound and it seemed to help. The next day, she went to her physician. After he examined the wound, he said that it looked as though she had been stung by a brown recluse spider. He told her that he could not do anything for her except prescribe pain pills, and that she would probably need a skin graft if it did not heal.

When she returned from the doctor's office, we got some bentonite clay powder (probably available at any health food store; do a WWW search on " bentonite" and "pascalite" ), mixed it Colloidal Silver and MSM, and applied it to the wound as a poultice. Within hours, the pain subsided, and was largely gone the next day.

My wife went back to her physician a few days later, and he was amazed at her remarkable progress. In fact, he told her that if anyone in his family ever got stung by a brown recluse spider, he would send them to her for treatment! And he was serious!

We feel that the three ingredients in the poultice had three different effects, but this is only conjecture on our part. First, the bentonite clay "mud pack" may have drawn the venom out. Secondly, the minute electrical charge in each of the zillions of Colloidal Silver particles may have had a neutralizing effect on the venom similar to the stun gun protocol alluded to in other replies to the original message below. Moreover, it has come to my attention in the last year that some creatures that inject venom into their victims also deliver flesh eating bacteria that reside on their fangs or stingers, or in their mouths.

Apparently (if I understand correctly), until recently all the focus was on the venom, and there was no awareness of the flesh eating bacteria that some of these creatures harbor. If this was so in my wife's case, then Colloidal Silver probably neutralized the flesh eating bacteria as well.

Thirdly, the MSM likely allowed the Colloidal Silver to penetrate better, and the venom to be drawn out more readily. For this type of wound, it may be useful to use the poultice described, ingest Colloidal Silver and MSM, and inhale Colloidal Silver via a nebulizer or a saline nasal mist sprayer that has been emptied, flushed with distilled water, and filled halfway with Colloidal Silver.

Eytons' Earth's Notes

We have noticed the "itching phenomenon" in several situations dealing with skin infections. However, we have also noted that when healing clay was utilized without the silver, the itching sensation was not present, with the same condition being studied. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that the onset of itching we have observed is quite unique. The onset is extremely fast, the agitation appears to be extremely focused and is quite intense.

Hence we have attributed the itching as a rapid healing response induced by the use of silver with the clay. It is interesting to note that the same itching response did not occur with the use of an isolated silver solution alone, nor the clay used alone, but only with them both combined. We hypothesize that when the silver was used alone, there was very little actual penetration of the silver into the tissues. We further hypothesize that the clay delivers silver ions via cation ion exchange, resulting in increased penetration of the silver ions directly into the area being treated. In the cases we studied, lesions caused by a common virus were studied.

A hydrated bentonite prepared with isolated colloidal silver poses a unique chemical situation. Upon hydration, the clay particles are negatively charged. Isolated silver ions are positively charged. Our experience suggests that silver ions are held via sorption on the surface of the clay particles. Further research, however, needs to be conducted to verify the electro-chemical results of such a combination.

David Bearrow's co-research experiment was done perfectly. We cannot stress enough that the clay MUST be applied thick, and MUST be covered. In twelve years, we have never seen a bite not respond to healing clay properly made and used in treatment, even in situations where an infection was present as the result of a bite.
