Hi, I'm a newbie here, but have been using natural remedies to treat various ailments for about a decade. But for this particular ailment (cat scratch disease), I'm a bit lost. So I wanted to see if any other members have experience with it, and if they had success with homeopathy/vitamins/supplements, etc.

With this episode (now entering its 3rd month), I have been having issues with my eyes, and use colloidal silver and castor oil, which help moderately. I'm also having issues with glands in my arms, perhaps bone lesions; I've tried dmso gel for the pain, but it has not been entirely effective.

I have been alternating the following items, since I don't know what would be a good daily regimen, in specific amounts:

ACV, raw garlic/onions, zinc, vit C, colloidal silver/oil of oregano/olive leaf combo, grapefruit seed extract, unsulfured molasses, echinacea with goldenseal, reservatrol, selenium and a multivitamin with MSM.

I know the disease is self limiting, and this is actually the second time I've contracted it (don't believe it when you hear that one episode confers lifelong immunity--not true), but I do worry as some symptoms come and go (like fever, headache, CNS involvement), so I would hate for it to progress. Any/all suggestions are appreciated, and if nothing else, thanks for listening : )
