Treatments
Disclaimer: I've placed links here to various places where I've seen treatments for HS, boils, furuncles, carbuncles, etc. I'm not claiming any of these treatments actually work, nor that they are PROPER treatments for this condition - just that they CLAIM to have some benefit. Please consult with your doctor, herbologist and/or naturopath before trying any of these treatments.Documented diseases treated by colloidal silver: Includes boils, HS, etc. Also see the link below.
