In a word - LACTOFERRIN

[Gator]

Hi d, I'm glad you are back. You have so much to offer.

Thanks for sharing about canine ear drops. Can I find them in a pet store, you think? What do I ask for?

Thanks also for sharing your experience about Lactoferrin. What brand did you order from Amazon or Swanson's?

Hooray for the successes you are having. I am happy for you.

Maybe we will all start snorting now. LOL - giggle

Keep Smiling-

My stuff is on its way, they are actually capsuls and they are cheap on Amazon. I will see how it works.

Hello Jo,

You're very welcome for the 'Lacto Info'. LOL. Reading .. and reading ... about this was like going through a maze. Every time I read a medical word...and had no clue what it meant....I had to hit the dictionary/wikipedia on my mac and read what it meant. Of course this always lead to MORE links to more terms. I have appreciated the way Wiki works more this week than ever.

There is still so much to learn and I don't have a lot of time. But now that 'this door' has opened, I think it would be good to know how the LYSOZYME works in conjunction with LACTOFERRIN....and the LACTOPEROXIDASE.

QUESTION IS: Since all three are important to our IMMUNE SYSTEM, would it be better to supplement all three, rather than just one...One being the LACTOFERRIN?

LACTOPEROXIDASE can cause some unfriendly things. But, my question now is.....Would it be 'more friendly', if there was a supplemental balance of all three of the above?

We may find that the THREE OF THEM together as it is supposed to be could be EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL. I AM PERPLEXED.

HMMMMMMMM

Hi Gator,

Yes, I have a plastic straw which is beautifully cut and designed for snorting the lactoferrin. LOL.

I've never seen Zymox in a pet store, and I've been to plenty of those. Ha! We have three cats and two dogs. We found the Zymox online and you can get it at amazon.com. Be sure to shop around for the best price. Prices vary a little .... and check for a seller with a good record.

Just a word this stuff. All have the Enzyme combination of :LACTOPEROXIDASE, LYSOZYME and
LACTOFERRIN.

You will get a lot LESS for your money if you buy the little tiny tube of cream. Unless it is highly concentrated stuff...and I don't know about that point.

The "Zymox-Three Point Enzyme System OTIC Enzymatic Solution" comes WITH or WITHOUT
Hydrocortisone. I went straight for the stuff WITHOUT hydrocortisone, because I'm putting it in my mouth. Here's what's in it whether WITH or WITHOUT hydrocortisone.

Well, guess I missed the boat on the RINSE...LOL. I didn't get any of that.

If this product is not targeted at the kinds of ... may I say....EXOTIC PROBLEMS ....we are all having.... I would be very surprised.

Reading this has sort of clarified for me that the three enzymes are probably much more powerful together and I need to keep researching this. I need to know how to get the proper balance....if it matters....of the three ingredients. But I gotta tell you....I looked up LYSOZYME last night and it is very expensive. DANG!

- - - - - - - - - - -

I looked everywhere and even found ZYMOX website, but you have to be a Vet to by from the ZYMOX website....as far as I could tell. But no trouble ordering from Amazon.com

It just seems crazy to me that no company for people has jumped on this???

All the best to you, Gator

Gator, I'm sorry I left this out. I bought the Swanson's brand LACTOFERRIN.

Baraka Obam,

Love that name. LOL Thank you for both responses to my maze of perplexing information. Now we need to know how much of the three enzymes we need to help ourselves even MORE than with just one of them.

THEY ARE: LACTOFERRIN-LYSOZYME-LACTOPEROXIDASE

All heads together can figure this out. I just KNOW we can!!!!!!

All the best to you,
D. Zig
