My boys have Corn Allergies, Anyone know why?

[kokopup]

i spent a small fortune on dermatologist bills and had scratch and blood test that revealed allergies to dust and mites but i don't believe there were any foods found or maybe the test were not that comprehensive. On my own, after studying allergies online, I decided to eliminate corn. It turned out corn was my Koko's problem all long. I did go back to a food with corn and sure enough the allergies returned. I now feed Koko NUTRO NATURAL CHOICE Chicken rice and oatmeal, that is also good for her sensitive stomach. I tried a number of different limited ingredient dry foods that were either not good for her stomach or she just refused to eat them. I believe the more expensive the food the less she liked it. She would not eat any brand of food that had lamb, venison, or salmon as the meat protein. I'm just glad that Petco takes back food that your pet will not eat.

Koko was on frontline since she was about 5 months old but was at least 2 before she developed allergies to corn. I also think that she first had Dermatitis on her belly caused by possibly scratching fleas. It was shortly after that that her back started scaling and having sores. This was not because of fleas. The Vet said that skin allergies can be caused by what
the dog breathes. It turned out it was what she ate. We still have dust and I'm sure there are mites in the dust. Koko is fine now on a corn free diet.

Allergies are caused in three ways, inhaling, ingesting or by contact. But what brings them out is a low immunsystem! And Vitamin C and minerals and also Brewers Yeast Vit B for skin, missing in diet, plus antioxidants, feed more fresh meat/bones, green leafy vegetables, yolks, and lots of fruit.
Start by giving them Silver colloid, an ancient natural anti-biotic available in health stores. It also strengthens immune system.

But do remember to check their yard for contact dermatitis. Are there any poisonous plants? Do they lye on concrete with petrol? Does your wife use a lot of disinfectants? Air sprays, Washing detergents, toilet cleaners, all are toxic to dogs! Their nose is so much finer tuned then ours.
And 99% of all dermatitis is caused by fleas! So if you have fleas you need Frontline, it kills life fleas. You also need to spray your car, your carpets, their lying place outside, anywhere your dogs are, with simple fly spray, again in one week, and again one week later. So three times, one week interval. Other places you can hose down. Inside tiles or lino would be good to have one of those floor steamers, the heat kills eggs in grout etc. I use one called the shark, fantastic machine. Carpet you need fly spray again. Wash everything else like bedding, yours too, LOL.
You can also wash your dog with Malaseb by Dermacare. Make sure you leave it on for 10 Minutes! On the biggest sores put some liquid antiseptic solution like Betadine, but don't let them lick it off while wet!

After all that you should all feel so much better, LOL.

I treat Koko with frontline but I also spray the house and yard with Precor. Precor breaks the egg cycle so eggs that are laid do not mature.

I guess since Koko is a pretty brown color I do.t have to worry about her turning blue, which can happen with Silver. The term blue blood came about because royalty ate off of silver and over time enough leached into the food to give their skin a blue color.

There was a guy on a TV special that took so much Colloidal Silver he had turned blue.

If the silver colloid is not properly prepared/mixed that is what can happen. People used to make it themselves, but not right and they turned silver. But these days with machinery, there is fat chance of that happening, my dear! I have been using it for years and not turned silver, haha. But it works well, without killing the good flora or bacteria!

Question
Colloidal silver: Is it safe or effective?
My dad takes colloidal silver because he says it helps him maintain good health, and he hasn't been sick in years. But is colloidal silver safe, and is there any evidence that it does improve health?

Answer
from Brent A. Bauer, M.D.
Colloidal silver isn't considered safe or effective for any of the health claims manufacturers make. Nor is it an essential mineral, as some sellers of silver products claim.
