BUSH FUCKER

America's disastrous health care system is heaving the country head-first into near-certain economic collapse. Just about everybody's either financially strained or going broke due to spiraling health care costs: the people, the employers, state governments and even the federal government. Multinational corporations are fleeing the United States due to health care costs, taking jobs and economic productivity with them. Meanwhile, 50 percent of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are due to medical expenses.

But not everybody's doing badly. The drug companies, surgeons, medical specialists, health insurance companies and private hospitals are making out like bandits, raking in multi-million dollar CEO salaries and -- I'm not making this up -- greater than 500,000% markups on prescription drugs. And while the American people get sicker, the drug companies, insurance companies and many health "care" providers (it's really more like "sick care providers") are rolling in cash. Drug companies are now among the richest corporations in the world, and they got there by inventing fictitious diseases, then selling drugs to people who mostly don't need them. See my CounterThink cartoon, Disease Mongers, Inc. to learn more about this topic.

Meanwhile, the American people are the most diseased people in the world among advanced nations. We spend more on health care than anyone, we pay the highest prices for medications, and we're constantly told that we have the best medical technology in the world. But if our health care system is really so good, why do 50 million Americans have no health insurance? Why are hospitals literally dumping uninsured patients on the street, abandoning the sick to protect profits while our politicians actually negotiate on behalf of Big Pharma to make sure Americans keep paying the highest prices in the world for medications? (Click here to see our CounterThink cartoon on President Bush's price negotiations with drug companies.)

What's wrong with America's health care system?

SiCKO is a must-see documentary
SiCKO creator Michael Moore answers that all-important question in his best documentary yet. Forget whatever criticism you may have heard about SiCKO -- this is a Michael Moore masterpiece: A courageous, impactful and outrageous documentary that exposes the arrogance of modern medicine and the utter failure of America's corporate-controlled sick care system to provide decent health care to the people. Watching this movie will leave you either steaming mad or shedding tears (or both). It reveals the deep-rooted corruption in America's health care system and explains why the whole system was actually designed to deny health care to the American people.

I've been ranting about America's health care failures for years, and as I've consistently stated to the amazement of some, the health care corporations actually have a plan to keep people sick. There's no money in preventing disease, especially in the cancer industry. Click here to read my recent report on the American Cancer Society's refusal to help prevent 77% of all cancers using affordable, scientifically-proven vitamin D supplements.

In SiCKO, what Moore does very effectively is tells this story to a mass audience, weaving together the emotionally-charged stories of American citizens who lost husbands, daughters and other family members to preventable disease, all thanks to intentional, well-planned payment denials by health insurance companies. In one segment in the film, he features archival footage of former President Nixon, who strongly approves of a new 1970's health care concept called the "HMO" where the more patients are denied health care services, the more money the hospitals and health insurance companies rake in!

In contrast to all this, Moore shows us the universal health care systems in countries like Canada, the UK, France and even Cuba... all countries where health care is free to everyone. It's called universal health care (or "socialized medicine"), and it's a system followed by nearly every modern nation in the world... and even some not-so-modern nations. Only America practices medicine in the Dark Ages, tied to a hopelessly corrupt system of financial exploitation and monopoly price controls, where Big Pharma gets richer, the FDA gets more powerful, and the American people get the shaft.

See my CounterThink cartoon, The Disease Economy, for a visual representation of this mess we're in, or read my book Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them to see just how evil and corrupt our modern health care system really is.

Why Moore is being so vicious attacked
Moore, as usual, is being targeted by all sorts of critics who would like nothing better than to see this guy disappear and stop rocking the Good 'ol Boys boat that seems to be floating just fine in America (as long as you're part of the wealthy elite, anyway). For starters, U.S. government officials are investigating Moore for violating travel restrictions to Cuba. And why? Because Moore gathered a dozen Americans who were denied health care in the U.S. and brought them to Cuba where they received free, quality health care in a modern Cuban hospital.

The message is hard to miss: Cuba takes better care of its citizens than America does. In fact, Cuba is willing to take care of a few American citizens that America abandoned! That kind of "in-yo-face" embarrassment to U.S. officials isn't appreciated much in police-state America these days, where practically anyone who dares question the wisdom of the government is branded a terrorist. Moore is clearly being targeted not merely because he took some 9/11 heroes to Cuba and got them health care, but because he dared to make it all public. Humiliating the King is a quick way to find your head on a chopping block. Just ask all the scientists who publicly disagree with the Bush Administration's hopelessly politicized view on climate change...

Other critics of Moore are either the greedy, corrupt corporations impacted by his film (drug companies, health insurance providers, hospitals and so on) or juvenile stay-at-home back-seat Internet critics who don't like Moore for the simple fact that he dares to stand up and say "The Emperor Has No Clothes!" Nearly all the criticism leveled against Moore is without substance. People attack Moore personally, but they won't dare debate what he's presenting in the movie. Why? Because Michael Moore is right. America's health care system is an embarrassment to the nation, and to the world. It's so bad that most informed world citizens wouldn't be caught dead in this country, unless of course they actually visit America and have an accident that lands them in the U.S. health care system.

Personally, I opted out of the American health care system long ago. I'm a holistic nutritionist, and I exercise, eat right, get lots of sunshine and gorge on superfoods and raw berries. I have no need for a doctor, or a pharmaceutical, or a health insurance policy. I don't get annual physical exams, and I have zero risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes or other common health conditions. (I posted my health statistics at www.HealthRanger.org if you want to see my blood workup.)

At the same time, I realize that not everybody is in such a fortunate health position. Most people simply don't take care of their own health, and while I could argue for days about the need for more patient responsibility alongside corporate responsibility, the fact is that relentless advertising from drug companies and food manufacturers has bred a mindset of disease, junk food consumption, pharmaceutical dependence and patient victimization. We have a health crisis in this country, and it's going to take genuinely radical reforms to turn this around and save America from a financial wipeout exacerbated by runaway health care spending.

What's missing from SiCKO
The material that's in SiCKO is hard-hitting, and it accomplishes what it sets out to do. But there's something missing from the film: A serious discussion about how a nation can prevent disease using nutrition, medicinal herbs, sunshine, clean water, avoidance of toxic chemicals, smart dietary choices, banning the advertising of junk foods and pharmaceuticals, and so on. Of course, that's not really what SiCKO set out to do, and this topic would require another film all by itself, but personally I wouldn't have minded a stronger nod towards solving our nation's health care problems through genuine prevention (rather than the current policy which is basically centered around waiting for everybody to get sick and then treating their symptoms while ignoring the true causes of their disease).

Of course, it might be tricky for Moore to argue for disease prevention given that he is obviously not the poster boy for ideal physical health. But he never claims to be. So the critics who attack Moore's own personal health are missing the whole point of the film. Moore is simply pointing out what's wrong with America's health care system, and he does so brilliantly and convincingly, regardless of his own personal health status. And besides, if you want to argue about the health of "experts," just walk into any hospital and take a look at the health of all the people who work there. Many aren't any healthier than Moore, and they work in the industry! The average lifespan of a U.S. doctor is less than a Cuban peasant. That's not a joke.

Regardless of Moore's present physical fitness challenges, he's obviously operating with a great degree of healthy skepticism about the way the U.S. operates today. Moore is an independent thinker who simply refuses to follow the crowd, and with this film, he's doing the job that the American people should have been doing all along -- questioning the sanity of our health care system. But sadly, the truth is that most Americans are sheeple who just follow the herd and do what they're told. A recent poll revealed that nearly 45% of Americans still trust the FDA! That's astounding, given that I've solidly established the Food and Drug Administration is far more dangerous to the health and safety of the American people than all the terrorists in the world. To learn more, read my article The lawlessness of the FDA, Big Pharma immunity, and crimes against humanity.

How will SiCKO play?
I think SiCKO's timing is perfect, and I think the movie will be a significant factor in the upcoming 2008 elections. Those politicians who run on a platform of radical health care reforms are likely to pick up a lot more support than those unwise enough to try to defend the current system.

This is a tough call for Republicans, since most Republicans support Big Pharma and the corporate control of modern medicine, usually at the expense of the people. Democrats, though, are also on Big Pharma's payroll, as was obvious with the recent voting record on the FDA Revitilization Act co-sponsored by Sen. Edward Kennedy. The truth is, Big Pharma owns virtually all the politicians in Washington (except Rep. Ron Paul, of course).

The movie will definitely get America talking about serious health care reforms. But as I've pointed out in a previous article, Where's the Health In Health Care Reform?, almost nobody is considering proposals that would genuinely solve the health care problem in America today. You can't "treat" your way out of a nation that has become so over-drugged, over-fed and over-diseased that even the little children are now being put on speed (also called "Ritalin"). Nearly 50 percent of American adults are now taking pharmaceuticals, most of which are utterly unnecessary from a medical point of view. Drug advertising has taken over the media, the FDA has suppressed natural alternatives, and the American Medical Association continues to peddle such health nonsense that it's amazing the AMA hasn't yet been invited to join the Smithsonian's Museum of Outdated American History.

The American Cancer Society, in my opinion, is a supremely corrupt, big-business front group that actually takes steps to ensure more cases of future cancer by "preventing prevention," the American Diabetes Association takes money from candy and soda manufacturers, and the American Psychiatric Association is so steeped in Big Pharma money that they've practically become inseparable. (Click here to see my CounterThink cartoon on this topic.)

The future of America looks dim
Clearly, something has to change in this country if we're going to survive as a nation. Under the current system of massive debt spending, widespread political corruption, war mongering and health care failures, the United States of America will simply not survive another generation. No nation that abandons the health of its people can expect to have a future. As Moore points out, however, there is a chance to save America, but only if we make significant changes starting now.

Truly radical changes must be put into place. I've offered many suggestions in a popular article, The health care reform legislation that Congress should pass, but won't. Lawmakers, you see, have no interest in actually saving America from financial demise. They're only concerned about the next election, and raising campaign reelection funds means kow-towing to the interests of the powerful corporations that really run Washington.

Personally, I don't see that meaningful reform is possible under the current system of politics in America. The Big Business sick care industry has a stranglehold on the American political system, and the whole ugly thing will mostly likely have to collapse and be rebooted before we'll see significant change.

And make no mistake: that's what's coming. I predict America will not survive its health care crisis. It won't be the first empire to crumble from arrogance and corruption. In fact, it will join a long (and growing) list of civilizations that have risen and fallen, securing its place in the pages of history as yet another imperialist nation that thought it could rule the world while abandoning the needs of its own people.

The bottom line on SiCKO
It's a must-see documentary. It's surprisingly even-handed and well grounded, never resorting to unsubstantiated claims merely to shock the audience. In fact, as a person who has been writing about America's health care problems for four years, I didn't detect a single false statement in the film. It's all true, and it's pretty damn scary. Go see it. It opens on June 29th.

And if, like one person featured in the film, I ever have to choose between reconnective surgery for my middle finger at $60,000 vs. my ring finger at $12,000, I'll choose to have my middle finger sewn on first just so I can visually demonstrate to U.S. Senators precisely how I feel about America's health care system today.

Water

2007-05-27T07:02:00.000-07:00

Recently, subject and sales of "water" H2O is getting popular in
Japan. There are parlors and bars that offer to drink only WATER.
Nowadays, water business is good in most countries. There are big
malls where they offer free cold water to shoppers.

Most people say that they drink water when they feel that their
throat is thirsty. However, our research group says that simply
drinking when you are thirsty is insufficient in maintaining the
body's moisture (fluid). On the other hand, too much drinking can
cause "water intoxication" a.k.a. hyperhydration or water poisoning.

To get healthy, let us drink water at the right time and at the right
quantity. But when and how?

Do you know that our body has a certain cell that keeps water in it?
If we do not have such cell in the body, even teardrops won't come
out from our eyes. What is that? Is it a new discovery? It was just
found in 2003 by an American scientist.

The kidneys clean (filters) the blood with water, but don't you know
that the quantity of water that passes the kidneys is about 150
liters in a day!? The average person has approximately 4 – 5 liters
of water in the blood, and the kidney filters almost 99 % of it
repeatedly. Excessive moisture or water is discharged as urine.

We tried to analyze the quantity of sweat and urine after exercise
and quantity of water taken after being thirsty. The result – an
average person lost 520 ml of sweat and urine while they drank only
150 – 200 ml of water. Yet, why many were satisfied with just less
than a half of water intake compare to the 500 ml loss of water from
the body?

It is probably psychological or some mechanical effects of the mouth
that make us feel thirsty. It means that if you do something to your
mouth, although you are losing moisture from the body due to sweat
and urine, you may not feel thirsty at all. Bingo! We discovered that
if you stimulate the mouth, a certain wave or signal will go to the
brain, and you will not feel any thirst at all. Try it by yourself.

The thirst mechanism can be altered by "hallucination" . That's what
it means and it is really true.

WATER INTOXICATION

The water you drink remains first in the stomach, and it slowly moves
to the intestine and from the intestine to the blood. This process
takes a little time to fill enough quantity of water in the blood,
and your brain may still trigger thirst. During this process, you
might drink too much water and may reach to a dangerous state
called "water intoxication" that can lead people to death.

Actually, in order to avoid such dangerous stage, a sensor in the
mouth and throat will tell your brain that water is present in the
mouth, and will no longer trigger thirst. This is the thirst
mechanism of the throat, which prevents you from drinking too much.

Therefore, by means of a certain kind of stimulation in the mouth,
throat wave or signal can cheat the feeling of thirst. Yes, it is
true and it is what we call "hallucination" .

Let's chew a candy or gum, or pinch your lips several times, your
thirst will disappear. It is just like hallucination in the brain,
but only momentarily. Soon, you will feel thirsty until real water
reaches your blood.

When the moisture of internal body becomes insufficient, viscosity of
the blood becomes strong (sticky). And of course, there will be a
danger of myocardial infarction and other blood-related death as well
as brain damages or heatstroke.

We lose approximately 2.5 liters of water a day regardless of
climate. Of course, during a very hot summer, you may lose more than
3 liters due to sweat.

Our meals in a day contain approximately 1 – 1.3 liters of water.
Thus, it is necessary to drink some additional 1.5 liters of water to
keep our body's moisture to a normal level.

It is recommended to drink about one glass of water every one hour
during daytime and some cups of coffee, tea, or fruit juice during
morning and evening. It is not recommended to drink too much water in
a short period as the water you drink may just escape as urine. It is
also recommended to carry a water bottle with you during daytime. In
this way, your health condition will be improved dramatically.

We do not recommend drinking carbonated beverages because it contains
sugar and it might make you fat. Coffee and tea contains caffeine,
which increases number of urination and lose more water in the body.
This is just the same to beer and wine. If you drink alcoholic
beverages, you will lose more water in the body. Too much alcohol
might lead to death, too.

Proper drinking of water makes you healthy and young.

INTERESTING WATER TRIVIA

Here's some miscellaneous trivia that you may not have known. Test
your knowledge and share what you learn!

* Koala (well known as an icon of Australia) is an Aboriginal word
meaning "no drink". It is because there's no one who saw Koalas
drinking water. Such an idea is factually mistaken as Koalas do drink
water, but only rarely, due to their diet consisting of eucalyptus
leaves, which contain sufficient water.

* Another one is about Kangaroo. A common legend about the kangaroo's
English name is that it came from the Aboriginal words for "I don't
understand you." According to the books, Captain James Cook and his
companion Sir Joseph Banks were exploring Australia when they
happened upon the animal. They asked the natives what the creatures
were called. The local responded "Kangaroo", meaning, "I don't
understand you", which Cook took to be the name of the creature.

* The desert rat is another animal that get their liquid from the
food they eat. Although they don't actually drink, they still need
water from their food.

* Human blood is 83% water. Human bones are 25% water.

* Poor quality drinking water kills the equivalent of 20 jumbo jets
filled with children every day.

Aids

2007-03-13T21:43:00.001-07:00

Biocompatible Electric Current Attenuates HIV Infectivity

This is an extremely important report for anyone who is concerned about treating AIDS or HIV infection. Photos of the five pages of this 1996 report which appeared in Surgical Overview, Surgical Technology International V, were sent to me by a very sharp scientist and humanitarian named Webster Kehr on November 18, 2006. Webster deserves real credit for finding this published report as much effort has been expended to suppress this Kaali and Lyman 1990 discovery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. For example, Dr. Bob Beck found that the text of the March 1991 Washington DC AIDS conference where Kalii and Lyman first presented their findings publicly, were razor cut out of library copies of the published journal. Bob was able to find only three brief news items immediately following the March AIDS conference in The Houston Post (Mar 20, 1991), Science News (Mar. 30, 1991 ) and Longevity magazine: and then nothing.

The Discovery of the Century to address the greatest bio-engineered 'disease' in modern history, AIDS, was on the receiving end of one of biggest media blackouts ever to be perpetrated on the American public. How many people, to this day, still believe that AIDS is 'incurable'? About 99.999% of the public I would guess.

To make the report readable, I had to enlarge Webster's photos using Photoshop so I could read it and then typed out the text of the report. I've inserted the graphs from the photos of the report into the typed version seen below. This report is a more refined presentation than that provided by Dr. Steven Kaali in his 1992 U.S. patent application (#5,139,684 Kaali & Schwolsky 8-18-92) which I posted to www.educate-yourself.org in January of 2000 (http://educate-yourself.org/be/bekaaliexperiment.shtml).

This discovery by Kaali and Lyman in the Fall of 1990 was the centerpiece of Dr. Bob Beck's lectures on blood electrification. Kaali and Lyman re-discovered something that Dr. Robert O. Becker had also came upon in the 1970's and 80's in that direct current applied at very low voltage, delivered in the 50-100 microampere range effected amazing cellular response and achieved the de-activation of pathogenic organisms.

Kaali and Lyman patented an invasive procedure to insert the DC micro currents. They opened up an artery and sewed in a tiny battery driven circuit with two tiny electrodes within the artery itself. After the battery ran out, they would remove it and insert a fresh unit in another artery location. After 5 or 6 months, the patient showed greatly lowered HIV viral loads and steadily recovered. Bob Beck, on the other hand, invented a non-invasive method of inducing the micro currents electro-magnetically by applying external electrodes to the wrists and used a bi-phasic square wave of 3.92Hz to achieve the same thing as Kaali and Lyman with their internal arrangement. Bob called it "blood electrification" and his unit is called a "blood electrifier" (you can make your own from instructions passed out freely by Bob Beck or get a factory made unit. Contact me for more information).

An important consideration when applying DC (direct current) voltage to the body involves the physics of electrolysis. Dr. Robert O. Becker found that DC voltages higher than 1.1 volt caused sufficient electrolysis action that the body became overwhelmed and produced electrolysis 'waste' products in the region where the DC voltage was applied. Bob Beck got around the electrolysis problem by using an AC (alternating current) voltage in the form of a bi-phasic (two phase, positive and negative) square wave. However, Dr. Hulda Clark is adamantly opposed to using any application of negative voltage, whether as pure negative DC voltage or the negative half of an AC waveform (including the negative half cycle of a bi-phasic square wave). Hulda found that the slightest amount of negative voltage will encourage the growth of pathogenic organisms; something we're trying to avoid.

For those who wish to experiment, you could insert a solid state diode rectifier in series on the "hot" side of the electrode wiring (the other electrode is at "ground" or zero potential) of the Beck electrifier and have the anode of the diode connect to the electrode itself. The diode rectifier will cut off the negative excursion of the Beck bi-phasic electrifier and leave you with only positive pulsing DC square waves. The square wave pulses are only "on" for 50% of each cycle and "off" for the remaining 50%. The 50% "off time" may prevent the electrolysis problem, but that's just a theoretical conjecture on my part. I haven't done any experiments to confirm this one way or the other. Another possible approach is to reduce the pulsing square wave down to a very narrow duty cycle pulse of say 20% . A third possibility is to switch over to a very sharp rise pulse. A possible downside in using a narrow pulse is that it might not deliver the requisite 50-100 microampere current desired, however, it might do it -if only momentarily. There's much food for thought here and an open invitation to anyone who can still think outside the Establishment box, to get busy and see what marvelous results you can obtain by following in the footsteps of both Dr. Robert C. Beck and Dr. Robert O. Becker.

A few notes on nomenclature used in this report:

1. "sup.2" refers to 'supra' (above) or raised to the power of 2 (or squared); so 10cm sup.2 = 10centimeters squared. Another example, "10 sup.5" equals 10 raised to the 5th power (100,000). 2. "sub.2" refers to the number 2 appearing below the letter in front of it as seen with H2O 3. "In vitro" means that the test was made in a test tube or petri dish outside of the body. 4. "In vivo" refers to conditions inside the body. 5. "uL" = micro liters 6. "uA" = micro amperes. 7. "p" = "parts" and "<" = "greater than"

In a few places, I couldn't determine the correct number due to glare in the photo or a bad viewing angle so I had to place a question mark in parentheses (?). If you want to see the reference noted, click on the small number linked in parentheses and you'll go directly to the reference note.

Gentlemen:

In 1990, the greatest discovery in the history of medicine took place, the discovery of the cure for AIDS/HIV and very other microbe caused disease on earth. They should have won the Nobel Prize, but their discovery was crushed. However, the two medical doctors involved, Kaali and Lyman, found ways to make their discovery public. They filed several patents, as did several others. While their original paper is lost to the world, in 1996 they quietly got it republished in a very obscure journal. Their discovery was the basis for the Bob Beck Protocol. I have obtained a copy of the article and am sending it to you in 5 different emails, one email for each page. Please keep these 5 files in a permanent location and let me know you got all 5 of them.

Introduction

The number of individuals infected by the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV) continues to increase on a world wide basis. (1) A significant percentage, if not all, of these individuals will eventually develop the acquired immunodeficiency syndromes (AIDS).(2) While horizontal transmission in the homosexual population may be contained or decreasing,(3) heterosexual transmission and infection through contaminated blood supplies continues to increase. (4) Additionally, vertical transmission from infected females to their fetuses is also on the rise with a resultant increase in the number of children with AIDS.(5) New strategies, therefore, must be devised in order to limit more effectively the spread of this virus.

In this regard, three principal approaches are currently being investigated. In order to decrease susceptibility to the consequences of infection, vaccines are being sought which will induce the production of protective antibodies. (6) As treatment modalities, the use of soluble antagonists t block the receptor for HIV is being studied (7) as are pharmacologic agents such as nucleic acid analogues which can interfere with the transcription of viral genomic sequences. (8) Each of these systems has virtues and limitations, and to date none has proven completely effective.

Because heat or light in combination with drugs and dyes can inactivate viruses including HIV in vitro, (9) others have suggested the use of these forms of energy to treat AIDs patients. The results of studies using heat have not been peer reviewed and are therefore impossible to evaluate. The use of light with drugs ("photopheresis") (10) appears to be efficacious, although this treatment may be limited by drug toxicity and the potential long-term effects of ultraviolet radiation on blood cell nucleic acids. Also, by its nature, this last system may not be suitable for the treatment of tissue associated virus. As a result of our interest in the use of electric current to alter biological systems, we focused our investigations on the ability of direct electrical current at biocompatible levels to alter the infectivity of HIV for susceptible CD4 positive cells in vitro.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Electrical Treatment of HIV

The RF strain of HIV (AIDS Reagent Program) was cryopreserved prior to treatment at -70 degrees C. For treatment, a sample of virus was thawed and maintained on ice at 4 degrees C. Ten microliters (uL) of HIV at a concentration of 10 sup.5 infectious particles per mL were placed into a chamber which included a pair of platinum electrodes 1mm apart permanently mounted into a well 1.56 mm in length and 8.32 mm in depth equal to 12.9uL volume capacity. The chamber was connected to a power supply capable of creating constant direct current. The viral aliquots were exposed to direct currents ranging form 0 micro amperes (uA) for up to 12 minutes to 100UA for up to 6 minutes. Intermediate currents of 25, 50, and 75 uA were used to expose similar viral aliquots. Under these conditions, for example, 0, 50, and 100 uA represent 0, 3.85, and 7.7 uA/mm sup.2 current densities respectively. The current was monitored throughout the experiment.

A matrix of current and time employed is shown in Table 1.

After the exposure of virus to electric current, the contents of the chamber were removed and placed into sterile micro tubes. Five uL of each sample were removed and diluted with 95 uL tissue culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) for subsequent assays.

Syncytium-Formation Assay

This assay was performed as previously described by Nara et al. (11) Briefly, 10 sup.5 CEM-SS cells were dispensed into poly-L-lysine coated microtiter wells. Thereafter, tenfold dilutions of H9 cells incubated with the treated HIV samples were co-cultured in triplicate for up to 4 days with the CEM-SS cells. Identical wells were prepared with control uninfected and infected cells. The wells were examined for syncytium formation at 2 and 3 days and quantified using an inverted microscope.

Reverse Transcriptase Assay

Uninfected H9 cells were pelleted at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature, the supernatant was decanted, and the cells were re-suspended in 100 uL treated viral sample. The cells were incubated for up to 6 hours with the viral samples. At the end of the incubation time,. the viral/cell suspensions were centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes and the supernatant decanted. The cell pellet was then re-suspended in 5mL of RPMI, 10% FCS and placed into a T25 tissue culture flask and maintained at 37 degrees C, 5% COsub.2 in a humidified chamber. At 2 day intervals (beginning at day 2), 1 mL of the cell suspensions was removed from each sample and centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes in order to pellet the cells. The supernatant was subsequently centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 15 minutes. the pellet was resuspended in suspension buffer and assayed using standard methodology employing Mg++ as the divalent cation, poly (rA) oligo d(T) 12-18 as template primer, and tritiated thymidine (sup.3H-TdR) which comprise the reaction mixture. Known HIV positive and negative control samples were included in each assay for reference. Thirty uL of the reaction mixture were added to each 10 uL viral sample and incubated at 37 degrees C for 60 min. Samples were then incubated with 1uL of cold quench solution on ice for 15 minutes and filtered through a Millipore manifold. Chimneys were rinsed first with wash solution and followed by cold 95% ethanol. The filters were dried by vacuum and counted in scintillation fluid. Reverse transcriptase activity is expressed as counts per minute (cpm) and is considered positive only if cpm are at least five times greater than cpm obtained with HIV-negative control samples.

Biocompatibility of Electric Currents/Time

To determine if the electric currents used were in a biocompatible range of energy, uninfected H9 cells were exposed to distinct currents for different amounts of time. The H9 cells were washed two times in Hanks Balance Salt Solution (HBSS). Thereafter, the cells were re-suspended in RPMI, 10% FCS at a concentration of 10sup.(?) cells per mL. Ten uL of the cell samples were placed into the reaction chamber. The cell samples were then exposed to 0, 50, or 100 uA for 0, 3, or 6 minutes. At the end of each test, the cell sample was removed from the chamber and approximately 10 uL of the sample was mixed with 90 uL of tyrpan blue. The number of viable cells was determined by trypan blue exclusion using a hemocytometer and light microscope. Results are expressed as percentage of viable cells from the total of all cells. At least 200 cells per field were counted.

Statistical Analysis

Results of the syncytium-formation and reverse transcriptase assays were tested for statistical significance by the Student's t test and analyses of variance.

RESULTS

Syncytium-Formation Assay

Using this index of HIV infectivity, it was determined that exposing virus to direct electric current suppressed its capacity to induce the formation of syncytia. Figure 1 shows a representative experiment and Table 2 shows the group data for three separate experiments. As can be noted in Figure 1, a statistically significant (p<0.001) reduction in syncytium number was observed, and this reduction was dependent upon the current applied to the viral isolate. At three different viral dilutions, there were analogous results in that a total charge of 200 uA x min (25uA for 8 minutes) reduced the number of syncytia from 50% to 65% while a charge of 300 uA x min (50uA for 6 minutes, 75 uA for 4 minutes, or 100uA for 3 minutes) resulted in 90% reduction.

Reverse Transcriptase Assays

The direct electric currents to which HIV was exposed also reduced reverse transcriptase activity. Five separate experiments were conducted; a representative experiment is shown in Figure 2 and the group data are included in Table 3. As can be seen in Figure 2, there was a significant decrease in the amount of reverse transcriptase activity after exposure of the virus to either 50 uA for 3 or 6 minutes . An equivalent reduction in reverse transcriptase activity was also noted with exposure to 100 uA for 3 minutes. and near ablation of reverse transcriptase activity was seen with exposure of the viral isolate to 100uA for 6 minutes resulted in a 94% reduction. An analysis of variance indicates that the decrease in reverse transcriptase activity was statistically significant (p<0.001).

Biocompatibility of Electric Currents/Time

The ------(?) of a viability analysis using trypan blue exclusion criteria applied to uninfected cells exposed to the different currents and times used for these studies are shown in Table 4. The viability of H9 cells, after exposure to 100uA for either 3 or 6 minutes, did not show a significant decrease when compared to the 0 current control. After maximum treatment at 100 uA for 6 minutes, cell viability was 93% . Interestingly, in other preliminary experiments in which HIV-infected H9 cells were used, the results show that at 100 uA there may have been a significant decrease in the number of viable cells. That is, while an instantaneous pulse of 100 uA did not affect the viability of infected cells, a decrease in viability was noted at 3 and 6 minutes of exposure to 100 uA. This decrease was time-dependent in that exposure to 100 uA for 3 minutes resulted in a viability of 83% while 100 uA for 6 minutes resulted in a viability of 80%. Although theses data are provocative, they only represent a preliminary experiment and require further investigation.

With respect to the possibility that the electric current was transduced into heat, the calculated rise in temperature within the chamber was determined to be less than 1 degree C. In order to verify this, a temperature microprobe was introduced into the chamber containing tissue culture medium alone.

Results of these studies are shown in Table 5. Similar results were obtained when H9 cell-containing medium was placed in the reaction chamber. The data indicate that for the currents and times used for these experiments, there was no alternation in the temperature of the chamber.

DISCUSSION

The results reported here demonstrate that HIV treated with direct electric currents from 50 to 100 uA has a significantly reduced infectivity for susceptible cells in vitro. This reduction of infectivity correlates with the total electric charge passing through the chamber. Although extrapolation of these data predicts that ablation of HIV infectivity may be possible, and additional preliminary data support this prediction, the expectation that some virions may still escape the electrical effect cannot be discounted. Nevertheless, the therapeutic potential of electric current may reside in its ability to lower the viral titer to sub clinical significance or in its incorporation into a strategy analogous to that of other therapies in which repeated cycles of treatment eventually achieve remission or cure.

The data presented in this report are based on both quantitative and quantal determinations of viral infectivity. Although the syncytium-formation assay can be used to quantify the number of infectious viral particles, this use with respect to HIV may be abridged because of the ability of free fusigenic peptide (gp41) to induce syncytia by itself. Therefore, while syncytia were observed at some dilutions of electrically treated virus, this may simply represent the presence of soluble gp41 in the tissue culture medium. We believe that the correlation between total charge and reduction in syncytium number more adequately reflects the ability of direct electric current to reduce HIV infectivity.

This belief is also supported by the results of the reverse transcriptase assays. Although a decrease in HIV reverse transcriptase does not assure reduced infectiousness of this virus for susceptible cells, we feel that, taken together with the syncytium-formation data, the results indicate that significant attenuation of HIV infectivity is achieved by treatment with direct electric currents.

With respect to the biocompatibility of the electric currents and total charges reported here, two separate sets of evidence are applicable. The first has to do with the results showing that, by trypan blue exclusion, no significant cytotoxicity was induced in H9 cells by any total charge tested. The other evidence is obtained from reports which clearly indicate that the amount of electricity used for these experimetns is significantly below presently used therapeutic electric currents which are in the milliamp ere range. (12-16)

Rather than negative effects, exposure of cells to electric current may actually have positive consequences for resistance to infection in that important cellular electrochemical changes correlate with enhancement of specific enzymatic activities. In particular, a facilitation of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and ATPase activity has been observed. (12, 15) Both of these enzymes are associated with the oxidative capacity of the cell. Specifically, it has been suggested that an electrochemical reaction occurs between mitochondrial membrane-bound H+ ATPase and ADP leading to the formation of ATP. Therefore, exposure of cells to direct electric current may directly or indirectly increase energy resources within a cell and facilitate cell metabolism. This, in turn, may actually render a cell less susceptible to the effects of viral infection.

In summary, the data presented here indicate that biocompatible direct electric current significantly reduces the infectivity of HIV. Continuing investigations are exploring the mechanisms through which this effect is mediated. The initial focus of these experiments is centered on the potential role which ionic and molecular species generated by electrolysis may have on the virus. However, the complete mechanism by which direct electric current attenuates HIV infectivity is undoubtedly far more complex than simple electrolysis. Nonetheless, and independent of a complete understanding of all of the mechanisms involved in the attenuation of HIV infectivity, the present observations may serve as an initial step for the development of new strategies to treat infection or prevent transmission of HIV through the treatment of the blood supply.

Mental Screening for All!

2007-03-12T19:26:00.001-07:00

President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health

On April 29, 2002, the President issued Executive Order 13263 establishing the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. Composed of fifteen members representing providers, payers, administrators, and consumers of mental health services, as well as family members of consumers, and seven ex officio members, the Commission was charged with conducting “a comprehensive study of the United States mental health service delivery system, including public and private sector providers,” and was directed to advise the President on methods of improving the system. In July 2003, the Commission issued its recommendations in a final report entitled Achieving the Promise, Transforming Mental Health Care in America. See http://www.mentalhealthcommission.gov/reports/reports.htm. The report identifies barriers to care within the mental health system and examples of community-based care models that have proven successful in coordinating and providing treatment services.

The Commission concluded that the mental health service delivery system in the United States must be substantively transformed. In the transformed system: 1) Americans understand that mental health is essential to overall health; 2) mental health care is consumer and family-driven; 3) disparities in mental health services are eliminated; 4) early mental health screening, assessment, and referral to services are common practice; 5) excellent mental health services are delivered and research is accelerated; and 6) technology is used to access mental health care and information.

The Commission also concluded that the roles played by states must be central to the transformation process, but states must rely heavily upon the involvement of consumers in research, planning, and evaluation activities. At the same time, the coordinated efforts of more than 25 Federal agencies must undergird and reinforce the states’ processes. Every adult with a serious mental illness or child with a serious emotional disturbance must have an individualized plan of care coordinating services among programs and across agencies. Every state must have a comprehensive mental health plan, the ownership of which is shared by all state agencies impacting the care of persons with serious mental illnesses.

Emphasis added. This gem is from http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/chapter4-2004.html. They want to be able to screen and drug you, your children and grandchildren without your consent. They currently kidnap children with cancer and force unnecessary and deadly chemotherapy on them. Now they plan the same in the mental health field. George Orwell would feel right at home. Imagine calling this "freedom." The phase "health care" means drugs, and health is seldom the result. Mental health screening will be another windfall for drug companies but disaster for those sucked into the system.

Hormone Replacement and Dementia

2007-03-12T19:23:00.000-07:00

By LEE BOWMAN, Scripps Howard News Service

Published: May 27, 2003, 01:01:00 PM PDT

(SH) - Older women taking the most common combination of hormone replacement therapy had twice the rate of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, than women who were not taking the drug, according to a study published Wednesday. The study also found that the combination therapy did not protect against the development of mild cognitive impairment or memory decline less severe than dementia.

The results, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, are part of a series of reports coming out of the Women's Health Initiative that looked at the effects of the estrogen plus progestin therapy on a variety of health conditions that seem to get worse after menopause.

Doctors halted all experiments with combination therapy last summer after researchers concluded that increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke and blood clots among the participating women outweighed benefits of reduced risk for hip fracture and colorectal cancer.

"Because of the potential harm and lack of benefit found, we recommend that older post-menopausal women not take the combination hormone therapy to prevent dementia," said Sally Shumaker, a professor of public health sciences at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C., and principal investigator for the study, carried out at 39 sites around the country.

Experts stress that the combination therapy only has been evaluated in women over age 65 and that the relative risks and benefits of short-term use of the drug by younger women for relief of some symptoms of menopause remain uncertain.

The researchers said that while the increased risk of dementia calculated over a larger population of women is significant, the risk to any particular woman is still relatively small. Of 10,000 older women who might take the treatment, there would be an additional 23 cases of dementia per year.

"This is not good news, but a woman in her 50s suffering from hot flashes should realize that the women in this group that showed a slight worsening of cognitive function were over age 65," said Dr. Steven Goldstein, a gynecologist and professor of medicine at New York University and leading expert on menopause and estrogen therapy.

Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, which makes Prempro, estimates that about 1.2 million women are still taking the tablets, down from about 3.4 million before the government-sponsored studies were stopped last year.

The treatment also is available in patches and creams, and experts aren't sure if those delivery methods carry the same risks as the tablets.

The recent study included 4,532 postmenopausal women 65 and older who were followed for an average of four years before the study was halted. The women continue to be monitored. Almost half the women received a daily tablet of the combination estrogen plus progestin, marketed as Prempro, and the rest of the women received a pill with no active ingredients.

Cognitive status was evaluated annually and women who showed signs of memory decline were examined in greater depth. A total of 61 cases of dementia were diagnosed among all the women in the study. Sixty-six percent of those cases occurred among the women taking the combination therapy.

Scientists who had long thought that hormone supplements might forestall many effects of aging still aren't sure why the therapy instead seems to boost the risk of dementia, but Shumaker and her colleagues speculate that increased strokes and blood clots might be at least part of the explanation.

The researchers are continuing with a second study to assess the brain effects of estrogen-only therapy among a group of 3,000 women who have had a hysterectomy. Estrogen alone for women with their uterus intact is not recommended, since it has been shown to increase the risk of uterine cancer.

On May 22, 2003, Elena Sassower quietly waited through two hours of speeches during a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Judicial Confirmation Public Hearing. Sassower respectfully requested to testify and go on record in opposition of President Bush' nomination of NY Court of Appeals Judge, Richard Wesley, for a lifetime federal judgeship. Sassower is a co-founder and coordinator for the NY based Center for Judicial Accountability, Inc., (search) which monitors judicial misconduct.

Chairman Senator, Saxby Chambliss adjourned this hearing without asking if anyone present wanted to be heard. Ms. Sassower spoke up and said, "Mr. Chairman, there's citizen opposition to Judge Wesley based on his documented corruption as a New York Court of Appeals judge. May I testify?”

No sooner were the words out of her mouth, than the D.C. Capitol Police hand cuffed Ms. Sassower, put her under arrest and incarcerated her for 21 hours. She was eventually prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office and was found guilty of "Disruption of Congress" on April 20, 2004 and sentenced to six months in a Washington D.C. Capitol Jail. Additionally, Judge Brian F. Holeman of the D.C. Superior court fined her $500. The probation office recommended community service.

Sassower, refused to accept what she deemed cruel and unusual conditions after her sentencing June 28, 2004. At the conclusion of her sentencing, Sassower's attorney, Mark Goldstone, exclaimed, "Judge Holeman offered Ms. Sassower a long list of unconstitutional conditions for her immediate release, which she rejected. These conditions included her being placed on probation for two years, ceasing electronic, verbal and other communications with her NY Senators Clinton and Schumer for two years, to stay away from all Capitol office buildings, requiring her to report all her activities as Coordinator of the Center for the next two years, do 400 hours of community service, and write letters of apology to Senators Clinton and Schumer and their staffers as well as Judge Wesley (the nominee about whom she sought to present opposition testimony to the US Senate Judiciary Committee) saying how remorseful she was."

Goldstone also commented, "Seems reminiscent of the old Soviet Union.... These are conditions you put on someone who attacks a senator with a knife."

Supporters ask the question: Where in the Standing Rules of the Senate does it state that any citizen who asks a question at a public hearing in the Senate should be arrested?

Standing Rules of the Senate -- Chapter 26: Committee Procedure

5.(B)(6)(d) Whenever disorder arises during a committee meeting that is open to the public, or any demonstration of approval or disapproval is indulged in by any person in attendance at any such meeting, it shall be the duty of the Chair to enforce order on his own initiative and without any point of order being made by a Senator. When the Chair finds it necessary to maintain order, he shall have the power to clear the room, and the committee may act in closed session for so long as there is doubt of the assurance of order.

Another question supporters want an answer to: Where in the D.C. Code does it state any citizen who asks a question at a Congressional public hearing should be arrested for "Disruption of Congress?"

10 D.C. Code Section 503.16(b)(4) . . . (b) It shall be unlawful for any person or group of persons willfully and knowingly: (4) To utter loud, threatening, or abusive language, or to engage in any disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place upon the United States Capitol Grounds or within any of the Capitol Buildings with intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct of any session of the Congress or either House thereof, or the orderly conduct within any such building of any hearing before, or any deliberations of any committee or subcommittee of the Congress or either House thereof.

Sassower, by all reports waiting politely until Senator Chambliss finished speaking and then requested in a respectful tone she be allowed to testify for the record. Supporters say this draconian action against Sassower is nothing more than an overt attempt by the government to stiffle her free speech rights under the First Amendment.

Sassower was not allowed any stay or bail; she is currently serving her six month sentence.

Cholesterol Sceptics Article

CHOLESTEROL SKEPTICS AND THE BAD NEWS ABOUT STATIN DRUGS
By Maryann Napoli
(June 2003)

The cholesterol skeptics were there. So were the physicians who challenge the safety and necessity of cholesterol-lowering drugs. And then there were the lipid researchers whose findings totally contradict the prevailing dietary advice to the public: Avoid saturated fats, limit cholesterol, and use more polyunsaturated oils. Their presentations were met with enthusiastic approval at a conference held last spring in Arlington, Virginia. But then again, the attendees were not the usual people who show up at a conference billed as "Heart Disease in the 21st Century: Beyond the Lipid Hypothesis." They were practicing physicians, biochemists, farmers, greenmarket activists, researchers, cooks, parents of young children, and people who have been told their cholesterol is too high. The general message was: Fats are extremely important to good health...the right kinds of fat, that is.

Cholesterol was the dominant topic of the two-day event, as well as the subject of the opening lecture provocatively entitled, "High Cholesterol Protects Against Disease." Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD, a Danish physician who has published many critical papers about the purported association between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, led off with a slide showing the results of all the major clinical trials that attempted to prove that lowering cholesterol in healthy but high-risk people would reduce their death rate from heart disease. "The reduced rates of cardiovascular mortality were small for men and non-existent for women," said Dr. Ravnskov, who is the author of The Cholesterol Myths, a paperback that refutes the theory that cholesterol in our food and in our blood causes heart disease.

These cholesterol trials also looked at total mortality, that is, the deaths from all causes, and found little difference between the study participants who tried to lower their cholesterol and those who did not. In other words, some clinical trials showed that the heart disease death rates were, in fact, lower among men who had reduced their cholesterol levels. But this benefit was offset by a higher rate of deaths from other causes.

Given these unimpressive research results, why is high cholesterol so firmly imbedded in our consciousness as a sure-fire sign of a future heart attack? Dr. Ravnskov said that it all started with the landmark Framingham Heart Study, which began following healthy people in the early 1950s to see who had a heart attack and what distinguished them from the people who did not. High cholesterol was one risk factor--but it was only one of more than 240 others. "They [public health officials, cardiologists, etc.] have confused a statistical association with causation," he observed. "It's as if they saw a house burning and determined that the bigger the fire, the more fireman are present, and then concluded that firemen cause burning houses."

When studies failed to prove that lowering cholesterol made any lifesaving difference, researchers forged ahead with more multi-million dollar clinical trials. Not until the statin drugs (Lipitor, Mevacor, Zocor, Lescol, Crestor, Advicor) came along did cholesterol-lowering finally prove to be lifesaving to high-risk but healthy people. Whether this benefit might actually be due to the anti-inflammatory effects of statins has been the topic of controversy ever since.

As with several of the speakers who would follow him, Dr. Ravnskov is unimpressed with the reduction in heart disease mortality shown for the statin drugs "When you look at the CARE trial [Cholesterol And Recurrent Events], Pravachol did show a small benefit--after five years 5.7% had died from heart disease in the [untreated] control group, compared to only 4.6% in the treatment group, but [this benefit] was not dose related." he said, referring to the expectation that the more a person lowers his or her* cholesterol, the less likely a heart-related death. Also, the people taking Pravachol had a few more deaths from other causes. Dr. Ravnskov managed to push the envelope further by making a case for high cholesterol as a protective against cancer. He showed slides listing published studies that found higher rates of infectious disease among hospitalized people with low cholesterol levels. Also, several studies found higher cancer rates in people with low cholesterol levels.

Women told to take statin drugs should be aware of this risk found in the CARE trial: There were 12 cases of breast cancer in the women taking Pravachol, compared with only one case in the untreated (control) group. Statin drug proponents dismissed this worrisome finding as a fluke, said Dr. Ravnskov, because the control group would be expected to have had more than one case of breast cancer.

"Anyone who questions cholesterol usually finds his funding cut off," said Paul Rosch, MD, who started his talk with a reminder that half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels. "Stress has more deleterious effects on the heart than cholesterol," said Dr. Rosch, who is a clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry at New York Medical College and president of the American Institute of Stress. He put a different spin on the oft-quoted studies of immigrants with low rates of heart disease that change for the worse years after they emigrated to the U.S. The shift to a Western diet is usually identified as the culprit, but Dr. Rosch suggests that the stress of adapting to a new culture is harder on the heart. For example, a study of Japanese male immigrants found a lower rate of heart attack among those who consumed a Western diet but retained a Japanese lifestyle, compared to those who continued to eat only traditional Japanese foods but lived a Western lifestyle.

Statin Drugs & Memory Loss

Duane Graveline, MD, MPH, a retired family doctor and former NASA scientist/astronaut, recounted his own hair-raising experience taking the popular statin drug Lipitor for only six weeks. Soon after he went for a walk, Dr. Graveline was found wandering, confused, and reluctant to enter his own home because he didn't recognize it or remember his wife's name. Six hours later--after being examined by a neurologist and undergoing an MRI--he came to his senses. Transient global amnesia (TGA) was diagnosed. Neither he nor his physician suspected Lipitor, so Dr. Graveline was restarted on one-half the previous dose. Again, at six weeks, the TGA returned. This time, he regressed to his teen-age years with no memory for his time in college, medical school, or the recent past. "Many decades of my life were obliterated," he said. "The diagnosis was TGA: cause unknown."

To verify his growing suspicion that Lipitor might be the cause, Dr. Graveline wrote to Joe and Teresa Graedon, the husband and wife team that writes the syndicated column called The People's Pharmacy, which specializes in warning the public about drug side effects. The Graedons asked for permission to print his letter in their column, and once it appeared, hundreds of people wrote in to say they, too, had experienced severe memory loss while on Lipitor. "Patients are reluctant to report amnesia, or they attribute the symptoms to old age or early Alzheimer's," explained Dr. Graveline. "And doctors are reluctant to see that the drug they prescribed was the cause." Still, the official word on Lipitor is that memory loss is not a statin side effect. "Thousands of cases of memory dysfunction have been reported to the FDA's Medwatch program," he said, "but after two years, the agency still hasn't acted. And most practicing physicians are unaware of the problem." Lipitor is not the only statin linked to this side effect, observed Dr. Graveline.

A reporter pointed out to that FDA-required trials do not report memory loss in people taking statins. An explanation was offered by Joel M. Kauffman, PhD, research professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. "In drug trials, the pharmaceutical companies often divide similar adverse effects into six or seven different categories to keep the scarier side effects under 1%." To illustrate his point, Dr. Kauffman said that amnesia could be divided into confusion, memory loss, senility, and cognitive impairment. There is general acknowledgment, however, that muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and rhabdomyolysis, a potentially fatal muscle disease, are statin side effects, though they are thought to be rare.

With a little distance from his harrowing TGA experience, Dr. Graveline said that he began to question why he took Lipitor in the first place. "I had come to think of cholesterol as my personal enemy--my cholesterol levels had climbed [over the years] despite a fat-restricted diet, but no one mentions the proper function of cholesterol in the body," he continued. "We doctors march to the low-fat, low-cholesterol band." He soon learned that cholesterol plays a critical role in the maintenance and healthy functioning of cell activity in the body.

Coenzyme Q10

Several speakers expressed the opinion that the statin drugs' ability to reduce cardiovascular mortality has nothing to do with cholesterol reduction, but instead can be attributed to their anti-inflammatory effects. (A viewpoint that has been appearing in medical journals over the last few years.) Furthermore, the physicians who addressed the conference were united in their concern that the statin drugs deplete the body of an important anti-oxidant with muscle wasting and heart failure as a result. Peter Langsjoen, MD, of Tyler, Texas, said that he left his invasive cardiology practice at the University of Texas Health Center to specialize in "congestive heart failure, primary and statin-induced diastolic dysfunction and other diseases of the heart muscle." For over 20 years, he has been using coenzyme Q10 to treat a broad range of cardiovascular diseases. Q10, as he called it, can be purchased over the counter as a dietary supplement in health food stores and pharmacies.

Dr. Langsjoen said that the research on the importance of Q10 ties in nicely with the underlying philosophy of this conference because increased levels of this "vitaminlike" substance can be found in traditional foods with high fat content like organ meats, seafood, and red meat. "I call Q10 vitaminlike because it has properties of a vitamin," explained Dr. Langsjoen, "but since we synthesize it, as well as get it in our diet, it's not truly a vitamin." All statin drugs decrease both the blood levels and cellular concentrations of Q10, observed Dr. Langsjoen, the higher the dose, the greater the decrease in Q10. "As we get older, our Q10 levels fall, but we really don't know why--could be the diet," he said. "People who make it to 90 tend to have high Q10 levels, though. Most of the Q10 research has been focused on heart failure, said Dr. Langsjoen because the heart uses a huge amount of Q10. "It has been pretty well documented from biopsies that the severity of heart failure correlates with the people who have the lowest levels of Q10."

What's more, there is a serious gap in information regarding the role of statins in treating heart failure. "All the major statin trials excluded patients with class III and IV [advanced] heart failure, so we have no safety data in these patients with heart failure, though statins are prescribed to them with reckless abandon." Dr. Langsjoen is not alone in this concern which was expressed over a year ago by Australian physicians who asked, "Statins and Chronic Heart Failure: do we need a large-scale outcome trial?" in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Most medications destined to cause an adverse effect will do so early on, according to Dr. Langsjoen, who found this not to be the case with statins. "You don't realize you're in trouble until two or three years later, and it's hard to relate it to a drug you started a few years ago.

Dietary Fats and Oils

The story of how statin drugs became a multi-billion-dollar industry may have started with the identification of cholesterol as the chief culprit in heart disease, but in time the public learned that the low-fat diet would prevent heart attacks in people without symptoms of heart disease--an idea that the sponsors of this conference believe has produced numerous health problems. Mary Enig, PhD, an expert in lipid chemistry, spoke of the misinformation perpetuated upon the public by the government-sponsored "pyramid diet," which was introduced over 20 years ago and marked the beginning of the promotion of the low-fat diet. Along with the "use sparingly" advice, fats, oils, and sugar are at the very tip of the Food Guide Pyramid symbol that appears on food labels.

Dr. Enig believes that the rise of obesity is related to type of foods Americans have been encouraged to eat by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the food industry, and consumer groups. "[People are eating] a diet high in grain and inappropriate fats, instead of the natural animal fats, such as lard, tallow, chicken fat, goose fat, and the natural vegetable fats, such as olive, palm, and coconut oils, that we used to have in our diets," and contrary to the current "propaganda," she explained that these fats and oils are essential components to a healthful diet. These so-called good fats provide the major fuel for the heart, kidneys, and skeletal muscles, said Dr. Enig, who said the inappropriate fats are the highly processed polyunsaturated fats, such as soybean, canola, and corn oils, which are promoted [ironically] as heart protective.

"Before the advent of modern vegetable oils, mankind consumed small accounts of fresh, undamaged polyunsaturated fatty acids found naturally as a component of his food," according to Dr. Enig. "Consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids is much higher today because vegetable oils are used widely as cooking oils and in salad dressings, baked goods, and snack foods. Polyunsaturated oils should never be heated--yet during the extraction process these oils are subjected to very high temperatures that encourage rancidity and the formation of many harmful breakdown products." An example of the harmful breakdown product, she explained, is something called trans fatty acids, which are now generally recognized by mainstream medicine as harmful to the heart. Dr. Enig said that trans fatty acids do not appear on the nutrition labeling of food products, but they should. Trans fatty acids are abundant in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are usually listed in the ingredients section of the food label, and are found in only small amounts in animal fats.

Dr. Enig is a leading spokesperson for the Weston A. Price Foundation, which sponsored this conference. The foundation is named for a dentist who, beginning in the 1930s, studied the dentition of healthy isolated people untouched by Western civilization. He found that they inevitably had great bone structure and beautiful straight teeth.

Primitive diets were nutrient dense, with four times the calcium and mineral and ten times the level of fat-soluble vitamins, compared to the modern American diet. Dr. Price continued to study these isolated people as Western foods were introduced. The white flour, sugar, devitalized oils, etc., gradually displaced the traditional foods, such as organ meats, fish eggs, and butter from pasture-fed cows. Changes in diet led to rampant tooth decay; narrowing of the face that brought on a susceptibility to sinus infections; narrowing of the pelvis that led to childbirth difficulties; and behavioral problems. Sally Fallon, president of the tax-exempt foundation, told the conference that its goal is to disseminate the research of this "nutrition pioneer. According to the information packet supplied to the conference attendees, the Weston A. Price Foundation takes no food industry funding.

"FREE ALAN YURKO"...
By Mary Starrett
August 22, 2003
NewsWithViews.com

That's what's printed on the front of the tee shirt. On the back it simply says: "Vaccination: Don't be A Victim". The shirts have been sold to raise money and awareness about a case that's unfortunately not the only one of its' kind. In February, 1999, 29 year old Orlando, Florida resident Alan Yurko was sentenced to life plus ten years for child abuse and aggravated murder in the death of his 10 week old son Alan. There would be no chance for parole. The medical diagnosis was Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). Slam dunk the jurors decided his guilt in fewer than four hours. An autopsy showed the baby, also named Alan, had blood in his retina and swelling in the brain. The prosecution said this was proof the baby was shaken to death. But baby Alan died from something else- a toxic cocktail of numerous vaccinations routinely given to babies his age, despite the fact that the baby was born prematurely, after a difficult pregnancy, and even though he suffered from pneumonia, respiratory distress and a host of other life-threatening conditions. (These are all contraindications to vaccinating a child at ANY age, much less one who was only eight weeks old.) The day after his vaccinations, baby Alan became sick. Doctors told the Yurkos to expect this and not to be concerned. A couple of days later the baby stopped breathing and was rushed to the hospital where he died.
Since the baby's father could not explain his child's "injuries" and since he was the last one alone with him he was charged with murder. Public defenders took over since the Yurkos couldn't afford a lawyer. Next, the couple's four year old daughter was removed from the home for her "protection" and placed in the state's care during which time she was sexually molested. Yurko's wife Francine was told she'd never see her daughter again unless she turned state's witness on her husband. Francine steadfastly refused. She knew then as she does now that Alan would never have hurt their son. "If I thought for a second that man could have done something to my child, he would have been lucky for the police to get to him before me" she said.

Because of Francine's continued belief in her husband, she was at one point charged as an accessory to murder. After a long and expensive struggle those charges were dropped. But Alan remains in prison fighting to clear his name, regain his freedom and rejoin his family. Alan has put his time behind bars to good use. In the course of researching what caused his son's death, he discovered that one of the vaccines given to his child was from a batch of vaccines that ranks first in vaccine deaths.* Fatal batches like this are referred to as "hot lots". Baby Alan's tiny arm was the entry point for a toxic mixture that ultimately killed him, sent his father to prison, left his sister traumatized and his mother with a dead baby, a sexually-abused daughter and a husband in prison for life, struggling to keep it all together.

Alan Yurko is not alone is his battle. Hundreds, if not thousands of parents and caregivers have been incarcerated because of mistaken SBS diagnoses. These diagnoses are covering up the damage done by vaccines that can mimic what happens when a child is violently battered. Many professionals are now realizing those judgements were flawed and superficial. But that doesn't make it any easier for Alan Yurko and others like him who didn't kill their children but have been blamed for doing so. To add insult to injury, Alan discovered the medical examiner who autopsied his baby had been practicing without the proper credentials, had been defrauding the county and had even lied about the autopsy report itself. Orange-Osceola's chief M.E., Dr. Shashi Gore said he examined organs that didn't exist. See, Mrs. Yurko had donated baby Alan's organs, yet Dr. Gore wrote up in his final autopsy that he had EXAMINED a heart, lungs and other organs. When later questioned about it he simply called it a "discrepancy". Dr. Gore's discrepancies didn't end there. He'd also been mistaken about the race and age of the dead baby he supposedly had examined, listing the child as a black male two months old when in fact baby Alan was white and 10 weeks old. Details.

This chief medical examiner, according to the Orlando Sentinel worked- without proper credentials- in an office that routinely lost bullets, blood, hair and tissue samples while leaving boxes and bags of body parts unsealed and unlabeled. And still, Alan Yurko was convicted and fights for a chance to clear his name and get back home to what's left of his family.

I could fill pages with details of this case which include the medical-legal review which would make you really angry. I'll leave out the parts that tell of how the baby was mis- treated in the hospital, how the doctors at one point gave him NINE times the correct dosage of a certain medication to treat this supposed "shaken baby syndrome". No one's tried the docs who worked on this kid. But Alan Yurko sits in prison. If you're scared this could happen to you, if you think it's already happened to someone you know, or if you're just angry about this abomination of U.S. "justice", now's your chance to do something. In a few days Alan's case will get another look-see.

He needs prayer, support and money. Send your emails to: Charles Crist, Office of Attorney General: ag@oag.state.fl.us Reference case # CR98-1730. Lawson Lamar, office of State Attorney CHoover@sao9.org Say you're behind Alan Yurko and will be awaiting his timely vindication. Try and be nice. I know, it won't be easy. In the meantime, think long and hard about the shot in the dark you're encouraged to give your child. There's no proof, anywhere that vaccines protect from disease. More on that next time.

Mad Cow Disease

Mad Cow: Worse than You Think

June 22, 2004 Earth Island Journal by Chris Clarke

In December a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) veterinarian discovered that a cow imported from Canada into Washington state tested positive for the invariably fatal Mad Cow disease. Two months later, the USDA quietly concluded that it had failed to find as many as 80 animals from the same herd that may also have been infected. The admission of failure, drowned out by a ridiculous Super-Bowl-related controversy, slipped nearly unnoticed past the public.

This was an unbelievable stroke of luck for the USDA. On a slower news day, the admission that dozens of potentially infected cattle had disappeared into the American food chain might have prompted a wave of panic, spurred by memories of the 1990s Mad Cow catastrophe in the United Kingdom. Reassurances from Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, echoed by beef industry trade associations, bore a striking resemblance to the PR palliatives that issued forth from British officials before that country's epidemic, during which more than 100 Britons died in agony from contaminated beef. Veneman's characterization of increased testing and a ban on "downer cows" entering the food supply as a "very aggressive" policy neatly paralleled former UK agriculture minister Angela Browning's December 1995 claim that her agency's standards were "ultra precautionary."

The ban on downer cows was long overdue. For a decade or more, US food safety activists had been urging a complete ban on downer cows being slaughtered for food "Downer" cows are unable to walk, a warning sign of Mad Cow disease. The ban by the USDA was widely seen as a move to blunt criticism for agency foot-dragging on more thorough testing for infected cattle. In any event, workers at the slaughterhouse in Washington where the sick animal was found have disputed the USDA's statement that the cow was a downer. If they are light, a downer ban would not have kept the cow from being ground up for your Happy Meal.

Veneman's foot-dragging extends to more than the ban on downer cattle. The Secretary of Agriculture has also helped delay implementation of mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for agricultural products. The labeling law was passed by Congress in 2002 as part of the farm bill, and would have taken effect in September of this year. Such labeling would have helped track down the rest of the suspect Canadian cattle herd. With Veneman's vociferous backing, a two-year moratorium on COOL for beef, pork, lamb, peanuts, and fresh fruits and vegetables, hidden in an omnibus appropriation bill, passed the Senate in January.

More ominous is the USDA's recalcitrance when it comes to testing for Mad Cow. To boost confidence in US beef after several trading partners stopped importing it, Veneman announced in February that the USDA would double the number of US cattle tested each year to 40,000. In March, she raised that number to around 60,000, and then to several hundred thousand. Thirty-five million cattle are slaughtered for consumption every year in the US: the USDA's accelerated "very aggressive" testing would cover one or two percent of them.

A senior USDA scientist, speaking anonymously, told the New York Times that the USDA has fallen into lockstep with a broader Bush administration policy of suppressing science in order to boost industry profits. The USDA whistleblower pointed out that top Agriculture brass also pushed for importation of Mexican beef infected with bovine tuberculosis, a move that devastated the formerly TB-free Texas beef industry. The agency also pushed its scientists to approve the importation of fruit from China infected with a fungal disease. In August, Veneman minimized the threat from boneless beef, saying, "our experts have determined that the risk to public health is extremely low." "That really frosted me," the anonymous scientist told the Times, "that she said we'd done [the research] when I knew in fact that we hadn't."

In March, a pending House bill to institute a $ 175 million national livestock identification system to better track suspect cattle was criticized by Agriculture Undersecretary William Hawks, who said the program should be voluntary when implemented and become mandatory at an unspecified "later date." "The marketplace should be the driving force" behind any such program, Hawks told a House sub-committee.

Even if the USDA were to test a majority of cattle, push for COOL, and start trusting its scientists, there's still a strong chance that Mad Cow disease could kill Americans. Some analysts, in fact, wonder whether it might already have killed thousands, misdiagnosed as early onset Alzheimer's or multiple sclerosis. And if recent studies of the alleged Mad Cow causative agent turn out to be correct, even the "aggressive" Mad Cow measures proposed by some USDA critics may prove insufficient to protect the health of the American public.

The human form of Mad Cow disease, more formally known as new variant Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease (nv-CJD), is a chronic and incurable deterioration of the central nervous system, one of a larger class of diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). It is widely accepted that nv-CJD is caused when people eat certain kinds of tissue from cattle infected with a TSE called bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

TSEs occur in a number of animal species. Scrapie infects sheep, and was first noted in Europe in the 18th century. Chronic wasting disease afflicts deer and elk in North America. Some TSEs appear to be inherited, while others seem to strike their victims randomly.

TSEs are generally rare, with a normal rate of around one case per million animals. But this changes when infected animals are fed to other animals. TSEs that would otherwise die with their victims are passed on when those victims are eaten. As reported in Earth Island Journal in 1996, the beef industry drastically amplifies the risk of Mad Cow by feeding "bypass protein"--a protein-rich cattle feed designed to encourage high milk production--to dairy cows. Though cattle are naturally vegetarians, bypass protein usually contains animal byproducts, mainly supplied by rendering plants, factories that turn dead animals into industrial feedstock. One sick cow rendered into protein meal could theoretically infect thousands of dairy cows with BSE. When they reach the end of their productive lives, most dairy cows are shipped to slaughterhouses to begin new careers as ground beef.

The vast majority of scientists agree that the culprit behind TSEs is a "rogue protein" called a prion. The non-infectious form of the prion protein is found in association with nerve cells, and is thought to play a role in the transmission of impulses from one nerve cell to another.

Proteins are long chains of simpler organic molecules called amino acids. At each link between amino acids, the protein chain can bend in several different directions. Whether or not a protein molecule is useful depends in part on the molecule's shape. Infectious prions are folded differently from the benign form and are likely useless for whatever function the benign form fulfills.

The jury is still out on the exact mechanism by which TSEs cause nervous system damage. Some researchers believe that the rogue prions cause benign prion proteins to fold the wrong way by their mere presence. Others postulate a catalyst, an as-yet-undiscovered "Protein X," that helps rogue prions convert benign prions. A few scientists still resist the idea of prions as pathogens, and are looking for a "slow virus" causing TSEs, of which prions would be a mere side effect. This much is indisputable: TSEs involve severe and fatal nervous system degeneration, found in association with rogue prions, and TSEs' main method of transmission is the consumption of infected tissues.

More than just nerves?

Conventional wisdom says that nervous system tissue is the only part of the cow that poses a Mad Cow risk to consumers. The USDA backs this assumption, and has banned human consumption of those parts of cows older than 30 months most likely to contain central nervous system tissue.

But research done over the last few years by Stanley Prusiner, the University of California scientist whose work on prions earned him the 1997 Nobel Prize in Medicine, suggests that the risk may well extend to the entire animal, including the skeletal muscle (a.k.a. "steak") now deemed safe by the USDA. Prusiner inoculated mice with Mad Cow prions and found prions in the infected mice's skeletal muscle. He published his findings in a National Academy of Sciences paper in 2002; a subsequent German study corroborated his work.

Prions may react differently in mice than they do in cows, the USDA warns. It may be that some unknown factor--perhaps the mysterious "Protein X"--facilitates prion replication in mouse muscle, but is lacking in cow muscle. Prion science is still in its infancy, and more is unknown than is known. The World Health Organization claims that skeletal muscle from cattle with full-blown BSE is completely safe to eat--providing that meat is processed in a way that prevents contamination with nerve tissue. But these statements are based on preliminary science and tests that may well prove to be inadequate after further study.

For example, in February, a team of Italian scientists claimed they'd found a form of priori-related Mad Cow, potentially transmissible to humans, that would have evaded the USDA's current testing regimen. This new disease, rather than creating large, spongy holes in cow brains, caused the formation of "amyloid plaques"--accumulations of sticky proteinaceous matter in the brain. The researchers conjecture that some forms of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, a human disease similar to but distinct from nvCJD, could be contracted by eating such cattle. A beef cow with a fatal case of this new TSE would pass the USDA's tests with flying colors.

What's more, the USDA's policy of banning central nervous system tissue for human consumption from just those animals older than 30 months has come under criticism. The USDA claims younger animals have not had sufficient time to develop Mad Cow. But in February, Japanese scientists found two calves, aged 21 and 24 months, with Mad Cow Disease.

Finally, the USDA's 1997 ban on animal products in feed for cattle, enacted in the wake of the British disaster, stops far short of what most scientists agree would prevent transmission of TSEs to human meat-eaters. Since 1997, it has been illegal for US cattle feed to contain any cattle byproducts. However, it's still legal for dead cows to be fed to non-ruminant animals, such as pigs, which can then be rendered and added to dairy bypass protein, with the prions coming along for the ride. (Pork may not be a good beef alternative for worried consumers, as most pigs are slaughtered at 30 months, well before TSE symptoms would likely show up, and "downer" pigs are regularly slaughtered for human consumption.) Experts, such as researcher Carleton Gajdusek, who studied kuru--a prion disease found in New Guineans who ate human flesh--think that chickens may represent another vector by which cow prions can infect humans, if the chickens are fed contaminated meal.

Problems are inevitable when the USDA, the agency responsible for regulating the beef industry, is also charged with promoting the beef industry. Were it not for this inherent conflict of interest, a few common sense steps would likely sail through the agency--steps that food safety advocates ranging from small scale ranchers to the National Farmers' Union to Senator Tom Daschle now demand:

Ban all feeding of animal byproducts to animals intended for human consumption. Protein supplements derived from plant sources, for instance, might cost more and lessen milk production slightly, but dairy farmers are already heavily subsidized, with most of their production going to industrial use such as casein and processed cheese. Our society can easily bankroll the slight increase in cost to farmers that a ban on feeding animal products to meat animals would entail.

Test all cattle at the slaughterhouse. The US wouldn't be the first nation to do so: Japan already tests every cow arriving at its slaughterhouses for TSEs. A California lawmaker has introduced a bill to mandate testing of all cattle slaughtered in the state.

Enact a temporary ban on human consumption of brain and nerve tissue. Until any animal that might have eaten animal byproducts is moved through the system, such a ban would protect us from "stealth" prions in younger, asymptomatic cattle.

Enact Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for meat Even after the above stringent measures are enacted, infected beef imported from other countries will still pose a threat to consumers. COOL provides a market-based solution to that problem, allowing consumers to make informed choices about the food they eat.

It is still legal to feed dead animal material to farm animals such as poultry and pigs. This infected material is also used in pet food. Do you ever wonder why all the confirmed cases have been in milk cows? Infected beef cattle are slaughtered before they are old enough to be symptomatic......

15 Ways the Auto Industry Would Change if it Operated Like Drug Companies

By Mike Adams, The Health Ranger

What would happen if you had to buy your car from a company that operated in the same way as the pharmaceutical industries? Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, came up with 15 unsettling changes that would occur.

Cost

*

Your car would cost $4.5 million, a 30,000 percent markup over cost.
*

The same car would be available in Canada or Mexico for less than $5,000.

Dealing with Competition

*

Meanwhile, automakers would be lobbying Congress to outlaw bicycles and airplanes, just as the drug companies try to do with herbs and nutritional supplements.
*

All auto imports would be banned. If you drove a Toyota down from Canada, you would be arrested.
*

Car dealers would be bribed with money, free vacations, free food, and free cars by automobile sales representatives to push certain cars.

Safety

*

Cars with no seatbelts, airbags, crumple zones, or other safety systems would be declared perfectly safe by the FDA, which would instead focus on the dangers of bicycles.
*

Driver's ed programs would be cancelled nationwide, and people would be encouraged to buy new cars rather than repair damaged ones or avoid accidents in the first place.
*

Safety tests showing that cars were dangerous would be buried, and scientists who produced such results would be prevented from ever conducting car safety tests ever again.
*

After being sued by customers injured in the cars with no safety systems, automakers would further lobby Congress to pass laws protecting car companies against class-action lawsuits.
*

Any federally mandated warnings about car safety problems would be printed in small type on a tiny label hidden under the driver's seat.
*

Driving certain cars would cause side effects like loss of sex drive or full-body muscle pain.

Advertising

*

Car companies would heavily promote new models each year, which would be no different from the ones they were selling 30 years ago.
*

Car companies would invent reasons for you to buy a dozen or more cars.
*

Automobile advertising would be filled with pictures of happy, healthy, energetic drivers, but the cars would break down constantly, fail to perform as promised, and quickly stop working.
*

Cars would be sold to you with extra features like a sunroof, air conditioning, or a navigational system, but when the car arrived none of these features would be included, just as drug companies exaggerate the "multiple health benefits" of their products.

Not only that, if you set up a bicycle shop and rightly claimed that bicycle riding could help improve heart health, heavily armed FDA, FTC and IRS agents might break down your unlocked door, confiscate your bicycles and computers, and terrorize you and your staff. Criminal charged might be filed. This is the Criminal Element in Government (CEG) operating under color of law. I am in contact with several who have experienced this sort of thing. - R. Loyd

Flu Shots, Mercury and Alzheimer's

2007-03-12T19:11:00.000-07:00

http://www.royalrife.com/flu_shots.html
Flu Shots and Alzheimer's Disease

According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals): If an individual has had 5 consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied) his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is 10 times higher than if he/she had one, 2 or no shots. Dr. Fudenberg said it was so and that it was due to mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot. The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction.

Flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury. One microgram is considered toxic.

About Hugh Fudenberg, MD

Hugh Fudenberg, MD, is Founder and Director of Research, Neuro lmmuno Therapeutic Research Foundation. Information from Dr. Hugh Fudenberg came from transcribed notes of Dr. Fudenberg's speech at the NVIC International Vaccine Conference, Arlington, VA September, 1997. Quoted with permission.
Mercury Contributes To Alzheimer's Disease!

Scientists have shown that trace amounts of mercury can cause the type of damage to nerves that is characteristic of the damage found in Alzheimer's disease.

The level of mercury exposure used in the test was well below those levels found in many humans with mercury/silver amalgam dental fillings.

The research conducted at the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine found that exposure to mercury caused the formation of "neurofibrillar tangles," which are one of the two diagnostic markers for Alzheimer's disease.

Previous research has shown that mercury can cause the formation of the other Alzheimer's disease marker, "amyloid plaques."

The scientists also exposed the test nerves to other elements, including aluminum, but found that only mercury caused the damage consistent with Alzheimer's disease.

The research, published in a peer-reviewed medical journal, is accompanied by a video presentation of the effect. Utilizing digital time-lapse photography, this video shows rapid damage to the nerve cells after introduction of minute amounts of mercury. Funding for this video was provided by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).

Dr. Lorscheider produced the visual documentation of the biochemical mechanism by which the introduction of mercury induces hallmark diagnostic markers indistinguishable from those seen in the Alzheimer's diseased brain.

The authors note that, to date, no other material or metal tested, including aluminum, has produced even remotely similar reactions.

The broadcast quality video and animation documenting the biochemical process of mercury on the nerve cells is available to interested members of the press through Miss Karen Thomas, Media Relations, University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine T: 403-2202945 F: 403-210-8141 Email: thomask@ucalgary.ca

The video can be viewed using Quicktime 4.1 at http://commons.ucalgary.ca/mercury/

The IAOMT was formed to review, support, and disseminate research on the suitability of materials and methodologies used in the dental practice. The IAOMT has funded previous research by Dr. Murray Vimy on the mercury vapors released from mercury amalgam fillings during and after chewing, animal research showing pathophysiological damage to sheep and monkeys from dental amalgam mercury vapor exposure.

Collaborative research with the Calgary authors of this current study and Dr. Boyd Haley at the University of Kentucky demonstrated Alzheimer's disease-like brain damage to rats from inhaled mercury vapor.

Dr. Haley, commenting on the importance of this new documentation, said:

"Seven of the characteristic markers that we look for to distinguish Alzheimer's disease can be produced in normal brain tissues, or cultures of neurons, by the addition of extremely low levels of mercury.

In addition, research has shown that Alzheimer's diseased patients have at least 3 times higher blood levels of mercury than controls. How much more research is necessary before the appropriate regulatory bodies respond with restrictions on the use of mercury-leaking dental amalgam fillings?"

Drug Company Fights to Keep Toxin in Vaccines; United Kingdom to Ban It Completely, National Autism Association Reports Thursday August 12, 8:04 am ET

NAA STATES AVENTIS PASTEUR PUTS PROFIT BEFORE CHILDREN BY USING BULLYING SCARE TACTICS TO KEEP NEUROTOXIN IN U.S. VACCINES

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The UK announced Saturday they will remove the mercury preservative Thimerosal from their vaccines. The news comes days after an LA Times article reported that Aventis-Pasteur, a pharmaceutical giant, is pushing to keep the toxin in U.S. vaccines. According to the article, Aventis is "trying to rally opposition to state legislation that would bar use of a mercury-based preservative in vaccines administered to infants and pregnant women in California."

The California legislation, introduced by Assemblywoman Fran Pavley, would protect pregnant women and children younger than 3 from full amounts of Thimerosal. A similar bill recently passed in Iowa. To combat the child-friendly legislation, Aventis-Pasteur has solicited the help of the California Conference of Local Health Officials to oppose the bill.

Two months ago, CBS Evening News reported on a Columbia University study which showed that a specific strain of mice developed autistic-like behaviors after being injected with Thimerosal. A February 2000 study conducted by the CDC also found a link.

Rita Shreffler, parent and spokesperson for NAA says both of her children were damaged by the toxin. "I'm outraged that anyone would expose pregnant women and young children to this neurotoxin after all the evidence that has been presented. Aventis-Pasteur's selling points seem to be scare tactics at best. This is obviously money-driven," says Shreffler.

They say it also may be a duck-and-cover tactic. Last month, the California State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) announced that California's developmental services system has experienced the first ever nine-month sustained reduction in professionally-diagnosed new cases of full-syndrome autism. The reduction in numbers coincides with the reduction of Thimerosal.

But according to Aventis, removal of Thimerosal from the flu shots may present vaccine shortages and a higher risk for a flu outbreak. Parent Wendy Fournier says when you look at all the information, you quickly realize it's a weak excuse. "They've had years to create mercury-free batches. Thimerosal is cheap -- that's why they want it in there," she says.

A partial list of vaccines that still contain full doses of Thimerosal:

Meningococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (Aventis Pasteur) 10-dose Vial, lot UB505AA - Expires 17 Jun 05 - 25 micrograms of mercury per dose from Thimerosal; Td Vaccine (Aventis Pasteur) 10-dose Vial, lot U1014AA - Expires 2 Sept 05 - 25 micrograms of mercury per dose from Thimerosal; Tetanus Toxoid Absorbed Vaccine (Aventis Pasteur) 10-dose Vial, lot U1048BA - Expires 8 Sept 05 - 25 micrograms of mercury per dose from Thimerosal; Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine (Aventis Pasteur) 15-dose Vial, lot U0775AA - Expires 10 Mar 05 - 25 micrograms of mercury per dose from Thimerosal; Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine (Je-Vax - Aventis Pasteur) 3 x 1 mL Vials, lot EJN*196B - 35.7 micrograms of mercury per dose from Thimerosal; Td Vaccine Mass.

Note from a Truck Driver

I am a truck driver, and have hauled just about everything over the past 13 years.

I read your site's article postulating that naturally occurring aluminum found in water might be the key to Alzheimer's disease. I'll go one better than that.

I once picked up a 44,000 pound load of aluminum dioxide powder in the aptly-named town of Bauxite, Arkansas. Noting that the destination for the load was not a processing plant or a mill, I enquired as to why this load was destined for the Colgate-Palmolive Company. The shipping agent said that the quality of bauxite (Aluminum dioxide) found in Arkansas was too low grade for manufacturing purposes, but was fine for toothpaste.

"Toothpaste?" I enquired. He then went on to explain that common white toothpaste is made largely from Aluminum Dioxide, which is a mildly abrasive, brilliantly white powder. They'll simply add a sudsing agent to make the bubbles, a flavoring agent to make it palatable, perhaps a food coloring agent, some water, and presto - toothpaste.

Go read the ingredients on your tube of toothpaste. It'll list one or two 'active ingredients'...notice the combined total amounts of 'active ingredients' is usually less than 1%. What about the other 99%?

* Were you aware that every day of your life, you are filling your mouth with a gob of nearly pure aluminum dioxide?

* Can you imagine the possible health effects?

* Do you see how this is the number one entry point for aluminum to enter the body?

* Can you guess why the inactive ingredients aren't listed?

* Imagine the outcry from all the millions of health conscious Americans who suddenly discovered that they are being poisoned!

*Yes, that's why they aren't listed.

So, if you and your vast readership are concerned about getting too much aluminum in their diets, you can all relax about naturally occurring aluminum in the water, or cooking with pots and pans. These are trivial sources of aluminum compared with the several pounds of aluminum directly swallowed or absorbed through the tissues while brushing our teeth.

On the bright side, we can all still have a beautiful smile in our old age, if only we can remember how to smile.

And Yet Another Cure For Cancer

2007-03-09T17:21:00.001-08:00

Scientists from Old Dominion University and Eastern Virginia Medical School say they've killed melanomas in mice using high-powered jolts of electricity.
Using extremely short, high-voltage doses of electricity, the researchers told the Virginian-Pilot they've never had a tumor that did not respond to the treatment.

Richard Nuccitelli, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Old Dominion, said the method might eventually turn into an effective cancer treatment.

The electric bursts often disrupted the blood flow to the tumor cells and shrunk their nuclei by 50 percent, Nuccitelli said. The tumors died after two or three weeks of treatments, each session involving hundreds of electrical pulses, each less than one-one millionth of a second and carrying 4,000 volts.

Nuccitelli told the Virginian-Pilot he and his colleagues believe the process works by severely damaging DNA in the cells. The treatment produced no scarring and did not harm adjacent cells. All of the research mice survived, with no ill effects.

The scientists said additional research will be needed before they can experiment on people.

The research is to appear online Wednesday in the journal Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications.

Method of curing AIDS with tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystal devices

Abstract

The diamagnetic semiconducting molecular crystal tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4) is utilized for destroying the AIDS virus, destroying AIDS synergistic pathogens and immunity suppressing moieties (ISM) in humans. A single intravenous injection of the devices is all that is required for efficacy at levels of about 40 PPM of human blood. The device molecular crystal contains two mono and two trivalent silver ions capable of "firing" electrons capable of electrocuting the AIDS virus, pathogens and ISM. When administered into the bloodstream, the device electrons will be triggered by pathogens, a proliferating virus and ISM, and when fired will simultaneously trigger a redox chelation mechanism resulting in divalent silver moieties which chelate and bind active sites of the entities destroying them. The devices are completely non-toxic. However, they put stress on the liver causing hepatomegaly, but there is no loss of liver function.

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A method of treating AIDS-afflicted humans comprising injecting a multitude of tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystals into the bloodstream of the human subject.

2. A method for increasing white blood cell counts in AIDS-afflicted humans comprising injecting a multitude of tetrasilver tetroxide molecular crystals into the bloodstream of the human subject.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the employment of molecular crystals as anti-AIDS devices, but more particularly to the molecular crystal semiconductor tetrasilver tetroxide Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4 which has two monovalent and two trivalent silver ions per molecule, and which through this structural configuration enables intermolecular electron transfer capable of killing viruses and binding them to the resulting silver entity so that a single intravenous injection will completely obliterate acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in humans. Furthermore, said devices are capable of killing pathogens and purging the bloodstream of immune suppressing moieties (ISM) whether or not created by the AIDS virus (HIV); so as to restore the immune system.

The present invention is based on concepts previously elucidated in applicant's U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,499 which discloses the destruction and inhibition of bacteria, algae and the AIDS virus in nutrient life supporting systems by using said silver oxide devices. Example 3 of said patent discloses that 18 PPM of said crystal devices could totally suppress the AIDS virus (page 6, line 5). Subsequent to the filing of the aforementioned patent, further testing revealed complete 100% destruction of the AIDS virus in vitro at 20 PPM, and the fact that said devices were harmless when ingested and inhaled, being non-toxic.

Encouraged by these evaluations and successes, applicant obtained permission to evaluate the crystals in vitro against murine acquired immune deficiency syndrome (MAIDS). Only one facility in the State of Israel is licensed for these evaluations, namely, the Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot, Israel, which is affiliated with the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School where said evaluations were done.

The initial evaluations entailed experimenting with various silver moieties cited in applicant's aforementioned patent, concentrations, non-reactive buffers and modes of administration. After about 18 months of judicious efforts and initial failures, success was finally achieved in destroying the MAIDS virus in C57BL mice with a single intravenous injection. The results of this test program comprise Example 5 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,499. After success with mice, the inventor was able to test the efficacy of said devices on two select etiological groups of terminal AIDS patients in a clinic in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Central America.

The AIDS patients comprised the etiological subgroups, Candidiasis and Wasting Syndrome. Current indicator diseases for diagnosing AIDS which have been expanded by the CDC, fall into the following five major categories with the approximate percent distribution among AIDS patients:

______________________________________ 1. P. carinii pneumonia 51% 2. Wasting syndrome 19% 3. Candidiasis 13% 4. Kaposi's sarcoma 11% 5. Dementia 6% ______________________________________

This invention concerns itself with the treatment and cure of candidiasis and wasting syndrome AIDS patients with Tetrasil*. These two groups account for approximately one third of AIDS cases.

Stedman's Medical Dictionary (Williams & Wilken's 26th Ed., 1995) defines wasting syndrome "as a condition of 10% weight loss in conjunction with diarrhea or fever . . . Associated with AIDS (p. 1744)."

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the invention is to provide for a molecular scale device of a single tetrasilver tetroxide crystalline molecule capable of restoring the immunity of AIDS afflicted humans of the two AIDS etiological subgroups, candidiasis and wasting syndrome.

Another object of the invention is to provide for immunity restoration in said AIDS afflicted humans through a single injection.

Another object of this invention is to destroy ISM in humans manifesting AIDS diseases of said AIDS etiological subgroups irrespective as to whether said ISM was HIV induced, since it is known that humans may manifest AIDS and still be HIV negative, and thus restore the immune system in said humans.

Another object of this invention is to destroy the AIDS virus when present in the systems of said AIDS afflicted humans.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a molecular scale device not only capable of destroying the AIDS virus, but of purging the human bloodstream of pathogens and restoring immunity to AIDS patients of the candidiasis and wasting syndrome categories. Said molecular device consists of a single crystal of tetrasilver tetroxide (Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4). The crystal lattice of this molecule has a unique structure since it is a diamagnetic semiconducting crystal containing two mono and two trivalent silver ions, which in effect are capable of "firing" electrons under certain conditions which will destroy AIDS viruses, other pathogens and immune suppressing moieties (ISM), not only through the electrocution mode, but also by a binding process which occurs simultaneously with electron firing, namely, binding and chelation of divalent silver, i.e., the resulting product of the electron transfer redox that occur when the monovalent silver ions are oxidized and the trivalent ions are reduced in the crystal. The binding/chelation effect occurs at active sites of the AIDS virus, pathogens and ISM. Because of the extremely minute size of a single molecule of this crystal, several million of these devices may be employed in concert to destroy a virus colony to purge a life support system of ISM and pathogens with the consumption of only parts per trillion of the crystal devices. Thus an optimum of 40 PPM of the devices by weight of human blood was found to be sufficient to completely obliterate AIDS. This concentration is slightly over double of the optimum concentration recommended in applicant's aforementioned U.S. patent for the destruction of the human AIDS virus in vitro. Other details concerning the structure of the crystal and its mechanism against pathogens, the AIDS virus and ISM would analogously hold here, and have already been further elucidated in said patent.

The actual destruction of pathogens, ISM and the AIDS virus is effectuated by injection of a suspension of these devices in distilled or deionized water with a non-reacting electrolyte directly, i.e. intravenously, into the bloodstream. A single injection is all that is required under these conditions. Accordingly, humans injected in this manner, upon being inspected after three weeks or more had elapsed and compared with similar humans that had been given placebos, were completely cured of AIDS. The control group still manifested AIDS. Accordingly, the tetrasilver tetroxide device performed in concert with and in full conformity with the ultimate objects of this invention. Furthermore, three out of four wasting syndrome terminal patients and four out of the five candidiasis terminal patients were still alive in 1995 after a year and a half had elapsed from their initial injection. By that time all the AIDS patients had been released from the clinic and allowed to return home.

Other objects and features of the present invention shall become apparent to those skilled in the art when the present invention is considered in view of the accompanying examples. It should, of course, be recognized that the accompanying examples illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended as a means of defining the limits and scope of the present invention.

EXAMPLE 1

Five patients afflicted with AIDS of the candidiasis etiological category were segregated for Tetrasil treatment. The rationale for selecting them was based on facts presented in an article by Peter H. Duesberg and Brian J. Ellison entitled "Is The AIDS Virus A Science Fiction?" (Policy Review, Summer 1990 pp. 40-51). Only the factual presentations of the article were utilized and the hypothesis of the authors was ignored. The facts presented in the article related to the method of selecting AIDS patients based on the five aforementioned etiological subgroups targeted by the CDC, and the evidence presented, that there is AIDS without HIV as well as with it so that an anti-viral agent in most instances will not necessarily restore the immunity system.

Evaluations with Tetrasil were conducted on AIDS patients at Lucha Contra el Sida, Comayaguela, Honduras. The patients two weeks prior to inoculation were removed from their AZT, AIDS therapy. Tetrasil was administered at approximately 40 PPM of blood volume per patient as a suspension in a proprietary buffer solution (pH=6.5), supplied by Holipharm Corporation.

The results of evaluations with candidiasis are tabulated in Table I under its disease category. All patients evaluated were terminal. Some, however, were in moderate (m) condition and others in poor (p) as designated in the Table. The I and F designations refer to initial and final values as shown. WBC indicates white cell blood count. The H column, following CD 8, indicates whether hepatomegaly occurred. This was an unfortunate consequence of the treatment which resulted in enlarged livers in all patients except the second one. Despite hepatomegaly, there was no interference with liver function.

The onset of hepatomegaly was not spontaneous and varied from patient to patient, being in the range of 4-16 days.

It should also be noted that shortly after injection of Tetrasil there were indications of fever (symbolized by T in the Ag.sub.4 O.sub.4 column), sometimes accompanied by fatigue (F). The body temperature was invariably 38.5.degree. C. (101.3.degree. F.). This was indicative of restoration of the immune response of the body, since normally the body will destroy pathogens when the immune system is functional by raising the temperature. The patient who died; first responded favorably to Diflucan, which previously gave no response. He was cured of his candidiasis, but unfortunately succumbed to his previous body damage. All the other candidiasis syndrome people who previously did not respond to the indicated medications subsequently responded after the Tetrasil treatment. Further evidence of the recovery of the AIDS patients manifested itself 30 days after the initial injection when white blood cell counts were taken. They are shown in Table I under the WBC column, which gives the initial and final WBC. All candidiasis patients showed a dramatic increase in their white blood cell counts, indicative of the restoration of their immunity systems.

EXAMPLE 2

The above protocol of Example 1 was repeated with AIDS patients exhibiting wasting syndrome. The results of their treatment are tabulated in Table I under the disease category of said syndrome. It should be noted that two of the four wasting syndrome patients showed improved white blood counts. The female patient, whose condition improved from poor and terminal to be among the living, showed a decrease in the WBC. However, she showed an increase in body temperature which was indicative of immune response. The test results indicate that one cannot rely on a single factor to indicate the demise of AIDS. The usual HIV marker CD 4 initial and final are irrelevant. ISM suppression appears to be more critical than the destruction of HIV. AIDS was suppressed, any permanent damage that had been done to the patients in the course of their succumbing to AIDS was not obviously cured or corrected by said crystal device treatment, rather said injury persisted and the patient was improved with respect to AIDS but still suffered from said permanent injury or impairment previously inflicted.

mentioned here are silver proteins and silver halides.Colloidal silver preparations are used as antiseptics, particularly for application to the mucous membranes of the eye, nose, throat, urethra, bladder, and colon. They are commonly used for infections ot the upper respiratory tract. They are also effective as prophylaxis against gonorrehea, in urethral irrigations about 1 hour after exposure.They are prepared in the form of solutions, ointments, swabs, suppositories, and tampons". END QUOTE
It is known that prior to 1938 colloidal silver was administered in just about every way that modern drugs are used today. These uses included intravenously, orally and topically, i.e. throat gargle, eye drops, douche, open wounds and burns, ( for which it is particularly effective due to it's combined disinfectant and astrigent properties ) it protects the highly suseptable burn tissue from infection while promoting rapid healing. A partial list of documented pre-1938 uses of colloidal silver include; Acne, Athelete's foot,Burns, Cancer ( Dr. Bjorn Nordstrom of the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, has used Silver in his Cancer cure method for many years. Dr.Robert O. Becker MD. in extensive research and experiments with silver,discovered that all CANCER cells changed back to normal.)

(Acquired Immune Defeciency Syndrome ) Dr. Gary Smith, a medical researcher, suggests that silver may be
linked to the proper functioning of the Immune System. While analyzing hair samples Dr. Robert Becker noticed a correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He believed that a silver deficiency was the reason for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr. Beckers experiments concluded that silver works on a wide range of bacteria without any adverse side effects and without damage to the cells of the body.
Dr. Becker also states that in the presence of the silver ion, cancer cells change back to normal cells,
regardless of their location in the body.
The March 1978 issue of Science Digest had an article called 'Silver Our Mightiest germ fighter" in which
they stated that more than half of the world's airlines use silver treated water as the method of choice for protecting passengers from water-born diseases." Additionally, the article quoted Dr. Harry Margraf, St.Louis Missouri, as saying "Thanks to eye opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modernmedicine.
An antibiotic kills perhaps half dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop...silver is the best all around germ fighter we have." Indeed no known bacteria have developed an immunity to silver. The comeback of silver in medicine began in the 1970's. the late Dr. Carl Moyer, chairman of Washington University's department of Surgery, received a grant to develope better SUPPRESSED HEALTH REMEDY RE-DISCOVERED
Silver has been used in healing as far back in recorded time as 4000 BC. Persian records mention the
practice of keeping water in silver vessels. The ancient Babylonian and Greek civilizations were aware of silver's ability to disinfect.
COLLOIDAL SILVER was used as a remedy as far back as ancient Egypt. It continued to be used in the Middle Ages to treat wounds.
The Romans reported the use of silver compounds for medical treatment. Before the days of refrigeration,
silverware or a silver coin was kept in the drinking water and the milk to retard spoilage. Silverware became prized for the preparation, serving and storage of foods because it was recognized that food processed in silver vessals stored longer and was less likley to cause illness.
According to the 1991 GROLIER encyclopedia " The element silver exhibits bactericidal properties not fully understood, although these are thought to be a result of its ability to absorb oxygen. COLLOIDAL SILVER is used as an antiseptic,germicide,astringent, caustic and for water sterilization and to arrest hemorrhaging by coagulating the blood. Astringents act by shrinking tissues and reducing the permeability (passage of gas or iquid)of membranes.They may be used internally to diminish mucous secretion in a sore throat, check diarrhea, or reduce stomach acid secretion. Externally, they are used for conditions such as cold sores, poison ivy, or hemorrhoids and as antiseptic deodorizers eliminating odor-causing microorganisms."sol is a colloidal system consisting of a solid dispersed in a liquid. If the dispersing medium is water, it may be called a hydrosol. colloidal state is a condition in which one substance is dispersed in another. Colloids are distinguished from suspensions essentially by the size of the dispersed particles: colloidal particulate size is approximately 1 to 500 X (10 to the power of -7) cm.
Colloidal particles do not settle and cannot be filtered by ordinary techniques (as is the case with
suspensions). They differ from solutions (in which the particles are of molecular size) as well, in that the dispersed particles of colloids cannot pass through the fine pores of membranes, and cannot therefore be separated out by the technique known as DIALYSIS. Because of their size, colloid particles diffuse slowly. Between suspensions and solutions lies the COLLOIDAL STATE; no clear distinction can be made between fine suspensions and systems of colloid particles that are close to the upper limit of the colloid range".
"The HANDBOOK of the HOSPITAL CORPS of the UNITED STATES NAVY 1953 published by THE BUREAU OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY under the authority of THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY NavMed P-5004 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE page 417 stated; QUOTE:" Silver compounds have a wide variety of uses as caustics, astringents, antiseptics, and germicides. Their activity resides in the silver ion, which is a protein precipitant. It is toxic to bacteria by precipitating the protein in the bacteria protoplasm. Colloidal silver preparations, in which the silver does not exist to any large extent as free ions, act by the milder and sustained antiseptic effect brought about by the formation of a protein silver compound which slowly liberates small amounts of ionic silver. Colloidial silver compounds, contain very little ionizable silver. Use of any silver preparation over a long period may cause permanent blue discoloration of the skin and mucous membrane, known as Argyria. The colloidal silver preparations contain high concentrations of silver, largely in non-ionized form. Their antiseptic value depends on the

He and Dr. Margraf sought a Anti-septic strong enough, yet safe enough to use over large areas of the body without reacting violently with body tissues. As a result of their efforts, many
important new medical uses for silver were discovered. Colloidal Silver has been used successfully against 650 diseases. including, arthritis; athletes foot, bacterial pheumonia: bladder infections; blood parasites;boils; cancer; candida; diabetes; hay fever; herpes; leukemia; lupis; lyme disease: psoriasis; rheumatism;
ringworm: staph and streph infections: septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat; shingles;skin cancer; ulcers and tonsilitis.
Colloidal Silver can be applied to cuts, scrapes, bug bites, and skin conditions such as acne and eczema
and is so safe that it is a common practice in American hospitals for doctors to put a few drops in the eyes of newborn babies to kill bacteria that can cause blindness . Bacteria are developing immunities to modern specialized antibiotics at an alarming rate. The medical community has acknowledged this publicly for years. The Los Angeles Times reported in an article titled "Arsenal of Antibiotics Failing as Resistant Bacteria Develop" October 23, 1994 "But in the last decade, a broad resistance to antibiotics has begun to emerge. And because bacteria can transfer genes among themselves experts only expect the resistance to grow. The potential nightmare is an Andromeda strain, a super-microbe immune to all antibiotics that could wreck havoc." UCLA. Medical Center has reported that "colloidal silver...killed every virus that was tested in the lab."
Colloidal silver is considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be a pre-l938 drug. As stated
in a September 13, 1991 letter by Food and Drug administration consumer saftey officer Harold Davies, the F.D.A. has no jurisdiction regarding a pure, mineral element. The drug companies lobbied for this and were unsuccessful, because it was more profitable to manufacture 'designer" antibiotics that only killed six to eight "bugs." Contemporary medical tests indicate no known adverse effects, including ARGYRIA, from the use of properly prepared colloidal silver. ARGYRIA is the only known side effect of prolonged ingestion of large particles of silver such as experienced by workers in the mining and photography industry. ARGYRIA is a cosmetic condition resulting in the permanent blue dis-coloration of the mucous membranes.There are no known adverse health effects of ARGYRIA. There has never been a known case of ARGYRIA stemming from COLLOIDAL SILVER use.There has never been a recorded case of drug interaction or reaction with any other medication. It successfully reduces the length and severity of infectious disorders. This is of immense importance in view of recent reports that infectious disease is the third largest killer on the planet.
Silver occurs naturally in the soil as a trace mineral and is one of the essential elements required by plants,animals, and man. In the past we obtained silver and other necessary minerals from the food we ate. This is no longer the case, with most of our crops grown on highly depleted, chemically fertilized soils these minerals are no longer readily available to us except through the use of mineral supplements. Colloidal Silver consists of molecules or pure silver suspended electrically in clean drinking water. Today it is made by driving lightning into fine silver. This process tears the silver molecules apart and deposits them with a high electrical charge into the water. The highest grade colloidal silver is made from .999 silver in 99% distilled water. Colloidal Silver destroys bacteria and simple infections, viruses, yeast, fungi and parasites (in their egg stage ) while protecting the natural enzymes of the body.
It is accepted fact that the best, and usually the most expensive, water treatment system filters contain silver, recent advancements in water treatment systems for the booming home spa and pool industry incorporate silver in the filter element in the intake as well as a device which utilizes a floating solar photovoltaic cell which energizes silver elements to make colloidal silver continuesly while exposed to the suns rays. While both of these methods dramatically reduce the cost of pool upkeep they are unsuitable for our purposes due to the use of ALLOY elements. High output inline CS generators are now being used by agribiz on irrigation systems to reduce the contamination threat from E.COLI bacteria.
Today with advances in technology the manufacture of colloidal silver is far advanced and superior to the
antiquated grind method that was most popular pre-l938. The ONLY form of silver that can be used, safely,as a dietary supplement is colloidal silver. The most advantageous and highest quality colloidal silver is a result of the electro-colloidall non-chemical procedure using the electric-arc technique. This method allows for the concentration of colloidal silver to be measured in parts per million (PPM). The best way to ascertain if a product is a true colloidal silver is by reviewing the ingredients. Additives or stabilizers may make the product unsuitable. Refrigeration may indicate that there is an ingredient (additive) that might spoil at room temperature. Long term stability is an important aspect of colloidal silver. Trying to impress the public, some companies go for a higher concentration (thousands of parts per million) of the silver, but then necessity requires that they use stabilizers.

Fox Chase Cancer Center, respectively, in 1995; in the Rocky Mountain Labs study,it was demonstrated that no live spirochetes of either borrellia burgdorferi [B310 Orhermsti (HS-1)] survived after 24 hours of exposure to colloidal silver in
concentrations of 15 ppm and 150 ppm." - Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, Rocky Mountain Laboratories, January, 13, 1995, Schuan, Tom, Ph.D., Burgdorfer, Willy, Ph.D.

Cancer Research
"Research by Dr. Robert O. Becker, and others indicated that in laboratory tests conducted, Colloidal Silver reverted cancer cells back to normal (not kill them but return them to normal). Other observations were made such as a correlation
between silver deficiency and illness or proper immune system functioning,burns,soft tissue and bone repair acceleration, and the formation of cells that
appear to be able to repair virtually any part of the body. Reduction of inflammation and the antibacterial,germicidal, astringent, antibiotic attributes so far observed are yet to be fully understood." - The Body Electric, Dr. Robert O.

Infections
C.E.A. MacLeod reports colloidal silver being used with marked success in the following cases: "Septic and follicular tonsillitis, Vincent's angina, phlyctenular conjunctivitis, gonorrheal conjunctivitis, spring catarrh, impetigo (contagious
acne of face and body), septic ulcer of legs,
ringworm, soft sores, suppurative appendicitis after operation (the wounds cleaned rapidly), pustular eczema of scalp and pubes, chronic eczema of meatus
of ear with recurrent boils, chronic suppuration in otitis media, and bromidrosis of feet. By injection:gonnorrhoea and chronic cystitis (local), boils,epididymitis." - Lancet, Feb. 3, 1912 p. 83.

"The germicidal action of certain metals in the colloidal state having been demonstrated, it only remained to apply them to the human subject, and this has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results. It is not suggested that colloidal metal solutions have no disadvantages, but for internal administration, either orally or hypodermically, they have the
advantage of being rapidly fatal to the parasites both bacterial and otherwise without any toxic action on the host. Colloidal silver solution is quite stable even in the presence of salts and the normal constituents of the blood. Its destructive action on toxins is very marked, so that it will protect rabbits from ten times the lethal dose of tetanic (from tetanus) or diphtheric toxin." - Searle,

Professional Quotes Regarding Colloidal Silver "... in this eye-opening research,silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine... perhaps, it soon will be
recognized as: OUR MIGHTIEST GERM FIGHTER. For example,even the most powerful pharmaceutical antibiotics are effective against only a small number
of microorganisms, and then only until drug-resistant strains develop.Yet,research at Washington University School of Medicine ... has shown that silver is bactericidal to nearly 650 different disease-causing organisms,and that silver-resistant bacteria strains do not develop." ---Science Digest "It killed not only the HIV virus, but every virus that was tested in the lab." ---U.C.L.A. Medical Center

"When silver was present,the cancer cell differentiated and the body was restored." Dr. Gary Smith
"...major enhancement of both the rate and competency of the healing process...the germ-killing of silver has been known for some time...the Soviets use silver ions to sterilize recycled water aboard their space
stations... It kills even antibiotic strains, and also works on fungus infections...
It stimulates bone-forming cells, cures the most common stubborn infections of all kinds of bacteria, and stimulates healing in the skin and other soft tissues."
Robert O. Becker, M.D. -author of The Body Electric "... studies showed the spectrum of organisms
susceptible to electrically generated silver ions was wide and .... compared favorably with...other antibiotics" --- J.A. Spadaro, Ph.D.

"I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory experiments in six
minutes." Dr. Henry Crooks "...the colloidal metals... are remarkable for their beneficial action in infective states."--- Dr.Hirschberg, John Hopkins Hospital
"Silver is one of the most universal antibiotic substances. When administered in the colloidal form, it is for all practical purposes non-toxic. Silver has been proven to be effective against hundreds of infectious con ditions.It has tremendous anti-microbial power; the history of safe and
successful colloidal silver use is extensive, and the number of current health professionals and individuals that successfully utilize colloidal silver to reduce the length and severity of infectious disorders is growing exponentially."Zane
Baranowski, CN "To primitive life forms...silver is as toxic as the most powerful chemical disinfectants and this, coupled with its relativ harmlessness to
animate life (i.e.mammals), gives it great potential as a disinfectant." N.R.Thompson - Runcorn Health Laboratory in England

"With the many research reports and personal
testimonials of it being a full spectrum natural antibiotic that destroys virtually all known and developing/mutating pleomorphic pathogens would be a lot of excitement regarding colloidal silver, especially from within the medical community...The harsh reality regarding the FDA,AMA Pharmaceutical,and scientific community is that there appears to be a lack of enthusiasm.
Reluctance to help validate theeffectiveness of colloidal silver seems all too common. Although this is changing, the reason for the possible resistance may be rooted primarily in economics. For example, colloidal silver is regarded by the FDA as a pre-1938 drug. Moreover, the FDA does not have jurisdiction regarding a pure mineral element. There has been no incentive for the aforementioned bodies to go through the expensive process of controlled studies to provide proof regarding uses and effectiveness, such as the UCLA and others have done." E. Vincent Goetsch in his book,"Colloidal Silver Maker& Researcher's Manual"
"Silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650! Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic." The Association

Cobble,D.D.S.Obstetrics and Gynecology
"The medicine department of obstetrics and gynecology at UCLA conducted tests in 1988 regarding the use of silver solutions as disinfectants. Anti-microbial and

salmonella typhi." Larry C. Ford, M.D., UCLA Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, November, 1, 1988.

John Meredith, an experienced medical writer, has written a good article entitled: "The Rebellion of Germs Against Antibiotics". Mr. Meredith points out
the dangers of the modern world for the easy spread of infections that antibiotics can do nothing about. He explains why drug companies hate natural remedies. They do not make available grant money to study what they feel that they cannot make money on. Mr.Meredith makes reference to a number of cases that colloidal silver has helped including "Gulf War Syndrome" and a number of common medical conditions. He makes reference to a Dr. Tipton who feels that it should be a daily mineral supplement. The article makes a point on why every household should keep colloidal silver on their shelves. It is great to protect children and the elderly. A reference is make about protection from food poisoning which is becoming more and more a
serious public health issue.

Silver Ion Therapy for HIV/AIDS and Septicemia
by Dr. Charles D. Beal, M.D.

Silver in various forms has long been known to be microbiocidal. In recent years it has been used to sterilize waste water, often in combination with chlorine as a means to reduce the dosage of chlorine needed. Silver iodide and other silver salts have been used Medically as antiseptics for decades. In l978, Dr. Robert O.Becker, an orthopedic surgeon, treated a series of infected, open long bone
fractures, resistant to all available antibiotics. He used silver ions produced by a low intensity direct current (LIDC) applied to silver coated nylon meshes placed on the open wounds.
The report showed excellent results, but did not generate much interest in the medical community, which continued to rely on new antibiotics as they became available, but still with not infrequent failures. In 1989, while attending the
international AIDS Conference in San Francisco, Philip Burris, Ph.D.,
wondered if silver ions could be used to kill the HIV virus in humans. He was able to have done in vitro studies showing that the LIDC technology could
prevent the transmission of the HIV virus from infected to non-infected lymphocytes without damaging the lymphocytes. Other studies showed many bacteria to be quite sensitive to silver ions, with human cells being much less sensitive. Waste water studies of viruses occurring in sewage found the hepatitis A virus to be the most resistant to silver ions, the polio virus less resistant, and the rotovirus the most sensitive. The hepatitis virus, of course, is known to be quite resistant to antiseptics, heat and drying. The method appears useful for the eradication of Legionella pneumophilia from cooling systems.

Rationale for Treatment of HIV With Silver Ions:

Silver ions are produced in enormous quantities when an electric current is passed through silver metal in saline or other conducting solution, including
blood. The amount of current needed is much lower than the current needed to affect the heart muscle. Silver ions are positively charged while viruses and
bacteria have a weak negative charge. Thus, there is a mutual attraction between the ions and the organisms, the latter being inactivated by the ions. It seems likely that the silver ions also attach to red blood cells and proteins in the blood, as well as combining with chloride ions. Nevertheless, the enormous quantity of silver ions produced appear adequate to destroy the viral particles. The half-life of the ions in the blood is calculated to be 7.8 seconds, giving them time to react with many virons, particularly if the electrode is placed in a large blood vessel,such as the superior vena cava, which empties directly into the heart with blood from many different veins. The blood entering the heart then is pumped immediately to the lungs where the ions should still be active. It is not known,however, whether silver ions delivered via the blood stream will be found to be useful to treat pulmonary infections. The blood returning to the heart after oxygenation then is distributed to the remainder of the body. An electrode placed in an artery should be able to deliver the ions directly and rapidly to the target organ. How practical or effective such treatment would be is not known.

Animal Studies

Both cats and certain primates can be infected with a fatal disease caused by retroviruses similar to HIV. The feline immuno-deficiency virus (FIV) appears to
be transmitted to other cats through the saliva, that is, through biting. FIV is not known to be infectious to humans. Dr. Burris was able to obtain one very ill FIV infected cat from a neighbor, but could not convince any veterinarian in the area to treat the cat with silver ions. Eventually he found a research veterinarian practicing in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, who anesthetized the cat, placed
a silicone rubber catheter containing a silver wire protruding from its end into the superior vena cava via a jugular vein. A cathode was attached to the skin of the chest.
The microamp power indicated above was applied for 22 minutes by means of a small power supply, followed by the nanoamp power for 90 minutes. It was assumed that the cat would soon die of its disease. Thus the primary purpose of this treatment was to determine silver levels in the blood. It was found that the
natural level was increased only briefly by about 10%. All animals maintain trace amounts of silver in the body. Of great interest, however, is that by the second post-treatment day the cat began eating well, and within four weeks the many sores on its back and
ears had healed. The cat was treated in March, l996, and at the present appears perfectly healthy. It is not known whether some infectious agents remain in the cat's body. Since that apparently successful effort, attempts have been made to obtain the FIV infected cats for treatment, but so far without success. We have been informed, however, that in recent years neither the FDA nor the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) have been requiring animal studies prior to evaluating anti-HIV drugs in humans.

Human Studies

Cesar Garcia Ramirez, MD, practicing in Tijuana, became aware of the FIV treatment, and felt that it would be a compassionate act to at least try the
therapy on some of his dying AIDS patients. He obtained permission from the Baja California Division of Public Health, as well as agreement for the treatment protocol from a group of physicians serving
as the Institutional Review Board (Human Studies Committee). Volunteer patients were fully informed and signed consent forms. Initially, three very ill
patients were chosen. Silver electrodes in silicon rubber catheters were placed in arm veins and passed up as far as the vena cava, or near to it. Each patient was treated for 12 minutes at 2.5 microamps,
then for 72 hours at 125 microamps except that one patient was treated for only 48 hours. All three patients felt better by the second day, and considerably better by Day 5. Viral loads dropped precipitously, almost to zero in one patient
and much lower than the initial count in the other two. The next three months were spent in equipment improvement, seeking to be able to reduce viral loads
rapidly to zero in all patients, and to be able to maintain the zero level for weeks or months if need be until the badly damaged immune system has had time to recover and be able to itself combat the infection. The virus is present not only in the blood stream, but also in lymph nodes and other organs of the body.

Currently in the Tijuana study, catheters are
implanted in the subclavian vein (behind the clavicle) and extend to the right auricle of heart, with the electrode protruding from the end of the catheter.
Since the electrodes in their present form oxidize and stop producing ions in about 5 days, the present system allows the silver electrode to be removed and
replaced while the catheter remains in place. Using this method, viral levels have been maintained at zero or nearly so for six weeks in one patient. Her CD4 count is now beginning to rise, as is the total lymphocyte count. Most importantly, she feels much
better than prior to treatment. She also was infected with herpes, hepatitis C,toxoplasmosis of the brain, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) affecting one eye. It thus
is very surprising that the patient has improved so much.

Whether any of these secondary opportunistic infections have in reality been
successfully treated can be determined only after prolonged follow-up. Many more patients will need to be treated and followed for these often-fatal
complications.In addition to the work described above, 18 AIDS patients, all seriously ill, are now under treatment. The therapy is being done on a
compassionate basis, responding to very strong pressure from the local AIDS community, their families and friends. Unfortunately, in none of these 18 is adequate laboratory work being performed, simply because the cost of the rather extensive studies required to document the value of silver ion therapy is too great. Virtually all of these
patients are destitute. It is very gratifying, nevertheless, that all of them now are feeling much better, and some quite well. It is little wonder that there is such pressure for treatment.

Side Effects of Silver Ion Therapy

Until now no side effects attributable to this therapy have been observed. It should be remembered that the present most effective oral therapy available - protease inhibitors used in combination with other drugs - is quite toxic,producing many side effects, enough so that some patients are unable to
tolerate the therapy. One patient that was treated with silver ions for only 48 hours had a serious flare-up of his herpes infection soon after the treatment was stopped. On the other hand, the woman described above who was treated for 6 weeks, experienced a disappearance of her herpes lesion. At present it is impossible to say whether the silver ion therapy was the cause of the effect in
either case.

Silver Metal Toxicity

Silver appears to be a relatively non-toxic trace metal for mammals. It is largely metabolized and excreted by the liver into the bile and eliminated from the body.
In the past the excessive and long term use of silver compound nose and eye drops in some people were found to produce a grayish discoloration of the skin,
termed "Argyria." Even the large amount of silver required to produce this staining appeared to cause no other problems. Some silver compounds, such as
silver nitrate, are highly caustic. It has been observed that ingestion of 10 grams of this substance is fatal to human adults, but the amount of colloidal
silver entering the body using the above protocol is measured in micrograms. It is not certain that some months of treatment will not produce evidence of
toxicity, but it is considered a very good sign that none has been observed so far.

Anticipated Further Studies

As of the present only 4 patients have been treated and followed with adequate laboratory studies. The ideal design of the equipment and its use in the body
continues to need exploration. How long initial therapy needs to be continued remains to be determined, and whether periodic pretreatment will be required can only be determined by long term follow-up of the patients. Whether silver ion therapy will work best in combination with other modes of treatment must be explored. It is believed that for the initial Phase 1 studies conducted in Tijuana a total of 50 patients need to be treated and carefully followed,collecting enough laboratory and clinical data to present to the US FDA, as well as regulatory bodies of other countries, in order to gain permission to continue the trials in the USA and elsewhere. Laboratory research needs to accompany
the clinical work. It seems likely that there will be many other applications for silver ion therapy, such as the treatment of septicemias (bacteremias) and other infections. Septicemia is a very common cause of death in seriously ill and in some healthy patients who contract antibiotic resistant ("killer") streptococci, as well as other highly pathogenic bloodborne organisms. Septicemia being bloodborne, should be immediately and forcefully reacted upon by the silverions.
For antibiotic resistant septicemias there presently are no satisfactory therapeutic options,though many millions of dollars have been spent in the search. Some of the many agents responsible for respiratory infections may respond to the therapy.
Preliminary laboratory work can help define which infections are more likely to respond. It is known that some leukemias and certain other cancers are related to viral infections. Some patients suffering from chronic fatigue and similar syndromes may have indolent viral infections. All of these possibilities need to be explored as to whether or not they will respond to silver ions. Agents of tropical diseases such as malaria, typhoid, Chagas, and leishmaniasis should undergo preliminary laboratory evaluation prior to human trials. Lassa, Ebola and Hanta Viruses, often rapidly fatal, might respond to quite short term,easily administered therapy. Thus almost certainly the most immediate and urgent use of silver ions will be found in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and
septicemia. Still, many other possibilities eventually should be explored.

It is our understanding that some of your distributors and customers have recently been asking questions about the safety of silver in your product based on a recent advance notice of proposed rule-making by the Food and Drug Administration.

Recent comments contributed by this institute to the FDA in response to its proposed rule-making point out that silver is a dietary supplement under the meaning of 21 U.S.C. Section 321 (ff), if it is labeled as a dietary supplement and not labeled for therapeutic use. Under this section of the Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act, known as the dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, a dietary supplement, including a mineral, intended to supplement the diet, and intended for ingestion, and labeled as a dietary supplement may not be prohibited from being marketed
unless the product "presents a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury" when consumed in accordance with its recommended or suggested
labeling or under ordinary conditions of use.

In this regard, you should be advised that we recently completed an extensive review of the scientific literature on the safety of silver, especially as it relates to its one known potential side effect,namely, Argyria. Argyia is an irreversible discoloration of the pigment (skin) caused by excessive silver intake or chronic
exposure to silver by certain tissues. The amount of silver required to develop Argyria is estimated to be 3.8 grams per day.
By comparison standard 10 ppm colloidal silver contains silver in amounts equaling less than 1milligram of silver (1,000 micrograms = 1 milligram; 1,000 milligrams - 1 gram), which therefore represents an amount approximately 1/500th to 1/1000th of the amount of silver considered to be a risk in the development of Argyria.

Most cases of Argyria reported in the medical literature over the last 100 years involved chronic intravenous or intramuscular use of the silver preparations, most often involving a silver drug prescribed by physicians which in most cases
contained silver nitrate. Other cases of Argyria reported in the medical literature involve application of silver preparations used for many months or years in the treatment of the eye or vagina for certain diseases. We could not locate a single case of orally consumed colloidal silver manufactured in the last 25 years causing Argyria in our review of the literature. This is probably due to the low levels of silver contained in such preparations, since only very small amounts of silver are needed for its antiseptic effect.

Humans consume approximately 100 micrograms of silver every day in the diet.Additional amounts within this range would be considered safe by all reasonable
estimates, especially if the amount needed to develop Argyria would be equivalent of 380,000 micrograms (or3.8 grams) of silver a day.

As for the efficacy of silver preparations, we found considerable scientific evidence published over the last 75 years that a number of silver compounds can
be effective germicidal (antiseptic) agents against several hundred pathogenic organisms. However, silver is not termed an antibiotic as some have claimed
because an antibiotic by definition is derived from a living organism.

I hope this information is of assistance. We
appreciate the concerns expressed at this time by some of your distributors and customers based on the recent proposed rule-making of the FDA. However, that
rule-making seems directed at OTC drug-like silver preparation, products that contain magnitudes of silver greater than might be found in a normal colloidal silver product.

Argyria rebuttal

The term Argyria describes the condition of a bluish gray color of the skin, and Argyosis the bluing of the eye white, resulting from the use of SILVER
COMPOUNDS.
To better understand the misconception regarding Argyria, I will quote from the book "The Micro Silver Bullet"(tm) by Dr. M. Paul Farber 1996 page XII
(ISBN1-887742-00-X) In reference to a "Journal of American Medical Association" article, October 18 1995, volume 274 # 15, where cases of Argyria were cited to have been caused by silver compounds (not colloidal silver,but silver mixed with other metals), note: "These Case history presentations represent biased and unprofessional writing.
The author's apparent inability to understand the difference between a silver nitrate, sulfide, or other silver compound demon-strates their lack of
understanding of basic chemical properties. The matrix, substrate, and particle size are all critical to the varied functions and reactions with use of these products. That is why there has not been a single case of Argyria from a properly manufactured modern-day colloidal silver product. [editors emphasis]
The cases of Argyria reported in the 1920's and 1930's resulted because the technology of the day was unable to produce a purecolloidal silver product with
a small enough particle size." Ref. (4-A)

The reported cases of Argyria usually involved very high and frequent doses over extended periods of time of silver salts/compounds such as silver sulfate,
silver nitrate, silver chloride, etc.
"...we recently completed an extensive review of the scientific literature on the safety of silver, especially as it relates to its one known potential side effect,namely, Argyria. Argyia is an irreversible discoloration of the pigment (skin)
caused by excessive silver intake or chronic exposure to silver by certain tissues.Most cases of Argyria reported in the medical literature over the last 100 years involved chronic intravenous or intramuscular use of the silver preparations, most often involving a silver drug prescribed by physicians which in most cases contained silver nitrate. Other cases of Argyria reported in the medical literature involve application of silver preparations used for many months or years in the treatment of the eye or

The Environmental Protection Agency's Poison Control Center reports no toxicity listing for Colloidal Silver; it is therefore considered harmless in any
concentration. However all of the silver salts are identified as toxic, although the only adverse effect
noted is Argyria. Therefore the concern is with silver salts not Colloidal Silver.

BYU study shows colloidal silver is as good as penicillin
By Lois M. Collins Deseret, News staff writer

Tests of a colloidal silver solution have concluded that it provides an alternative to antibiotics.

Researchers in Brigham Young University's department of microbiology were asked to test the antimicrobial
activity of Colloidal Silver. Silver is "colloidal" when it is suspended in small amounts in liquid.
Silver in various forms has been used for centuries as an antimicrobial agent. In the 1800s and early
1900s,people put silver coins in their water barrels to kill microbes and make the water potable. A silver
nitrate ointment is applied to the eyes of newborn babies to prevent certain eye problems. And silver
sulphadiazine is regularly used to treat burn wounds.

Use of Colloidal Silver, once common, faded with the advent of antibiotics. Recently, though, concerns about overuse of antibiotics and the development of antibiotic-resistant microbes has lead to a resurgence of silver's popularity.

And with good reason, according to the study, conducted by BYU's David A.Revelli,microbiologist,and Ron W.Leavitt. The study compared Colloidal Silver to five classes of antibiotics: the tetracyclines, fluorinated quinolones (Ofloxacin), the penicillins, the cephalosporins (Cefaperazone) and the macrolides (Erythromycin).

Both the silver and antibiotics were tested on a variety of microorganisms, including streptococcuses,
pneumonia, E. coli, salmonella, shigella and others.

According to the study, silver "exhibits an equal or broader spectrum of activity than any one antibiotic
tested." Where each antibiotic was effective against specific susceptible organisms, silver"is equally
effective" against both gram positive and gram negative organisms.

"The data suggests that with the absence of toxicity associated with Colloidal Silver, in general, and the broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity of Colloidal Silver, it may be effectively used as an alternative to antibiotics," Revelli and Leavitt wrote.
Dr. Dianne Farley-Jones, a family practitioner, recommends Colloidal Silver to her patients for external problems. She hasn't used it internally much, though she said it works quite well for ear infections. "With any kind of abrasion or skin problem, it works really well and really fast. And it seems to have an anti-inflammatory effect, though that hasn't been proven."Colloidal Silver also seems to have an antiviral effect,Farley-Jones said. She's used it at different times but hadn't recommended it until she saw the BYU research data. Now she encourages patients to use it as a nasal rinse for sinus infection or to spray their throats if they feel like they're getting a viral sore throat.
Can Silver Treat
AIDS?
by Nancy Robey
Is there a simple, inexpensive treatment for AIDS?
Perhaps so. An obscure but crucial discovery was made at the Biochemsitry Unit of Upjohn Laboratories in 1991: "Among a number of metal ions tested, Zn2+(zinc), Cn2+ (copper), and Ag1+ (silver) were found to be the most effective inhibitors of renin
and the HIV protease (data not shown). Kenectic analysis revealed that inhibition of renin by Ag1+ (silver) is basically identical with that seen with Zn2+ (zinc), i.e., concompetitive, first order with respect to the metal."
Biochemistry, September 10, 1991.

Further testing at Upjohn, including a clinical trial, revealed that zinc was toxic in effective dosages.This was the first report that silver is a highly effective protease inhibitor. Over the following years, this same discovery would be made several times. The following article is from the Orem Herald of Provo, Utah,
February 13, 1992, on page D1:

The small glass vial is filled with clear liquid resembling water. But an Orem resident is convinced it contains the cure for AIDS. "I don't have a doubt in my mind. It's what eats me alive at night," says Daryle Tichy. Suspended in the liquid, which is mostly distilled water, are ultrafine particles of positively charged silver. By researching within several different sciences, Tichy has determined that the solution will kill the AIDS virus without harming the human body.

Tichy, a full time member of the administrative staff at Brigham Young University's physical plant, said he
considers himself a searcher, not a researcher. He looks for patterns and answers to problems by crossing the boundaries of different disciplines such as physics and medicine... Tichy said he had the material tested at two different labs; results showed the solution killed a variety of pathogens, including the HIV virus.

A year later, this same discovery was made at the University Medical Center in Geneva,
Switzerland:"Metal-binding proteins are important components of retroviruses such as human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Therefore, metals could be used as antiviral agents...silver is a highly active bactericidal metal with little toxicity for humans. Silver has also been shown to be a potent inhibitor of HIV protease."
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, December 30, 1992. Three years later, Temple
University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, made
this same discover apparently independently: "We tested the ability of biotic silver protein to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)
replication in the human T cell line, SupT 1, as measured by syncytia formation. We found that pure silver protein inhibited HIV-1 replication in SupT 1cells as measured by a reduction in the appearance syncytia in cell culture. There appeared to be little if any acute toxicity associated with the dose of biotic silver protein which inhibited HIV-1 replication...These results are very encouraging and suggest additional experiments that could be done..."
Earl E. Henderson, Ph.D. Professor.

The following March 20, 1995, Professor Earl E. Henderson released the findings of another experiment at Temple University: "My laboratory has studied the effects of special formulation of biotic silver protein on human immunodeficiency virus Type 1 (HIV-1) survival and on latency reactivation of HIV-1 in the human lymphoblastoid B cell line, M57-3...The results of the...experiment show that exposure of HIV-1 to 1000 ppm of special formulation of silver protein for one hour at 37 degrees Centigrade completely eliminates infectious HIV-1 as measured by syncytia formation on SupT 1 cells..."

This is what an AIDS patient says about silver therapy: "I was infected with HIV through a forced infection in 1991. I tested positive for the HIVantibody November 18, 1991; of course, the same day as my birthday. From that day forward, my life became something totally beyond anything I could have expected...It has been rough,though. HIV has helped me so, so much. The experience has given me access tomy own soul again, to a living, breathing relationship with Spirit; regardless, I have literally gone to hell for much of it...While I had plenty of good days, I was getting more and more bad days... "The 106 degree fevers began to return, the intense body pain, the harsh, long-lasting chills... I began to make my own immediate funeral arrangements ....and then this voice popped into my head and told me to get the hell on colloidal silver RIGHT NOW! Sure enough, within a week I had begun to gain the weight I had lost back, and in two weeks, I had gone back to mountain climbing.Wow!

I still feel absolutely incredible. I have symptoms of nothing and I am back to my hyperactive self. This new dosing of silver seems to be taking care of my oral thrush problem and is keeping the MAC at bay ...I'd like to think I could be cured of this disease...I feel so good that, if I was to start getting sick again and move closer to death, I would be so thankful for this period of absolute health that it would be okay. I do not know how long I am to live, nor do I know how my death will come." T. W.

Colloidal Silver F.A.Q.

The word "Colloidal" refers to something which has such a small particle size that when it is suspended (not dissolved) in a liquid medium (such as water) the particles neither sink to the bottom nor float to the top. The particles are also "ionic", which means that all the particles have the same molecular charge, so they repel each other. In the case of Colloidal Silver (CS), the particles are as small as 1/7,000th the size of a red blood cell, which makes them very easy to assimilate.

2. Q. What about purity? How long does Colloidal Silver last? A. Colloidal Silver doesn't "spoil" like most other supplements do. Since no organisms can live in CS, nothing can make it "spoil". When CS is made using the low-voltage method, over a period of time some of the silver ions lose their charge and are attracted to other nearby ions, where they clump or "aggregate" together. When this happens, the CS begins to change color as the silver particles become large enough to refract light. Depending upon the batch - how long it was "brewed", what kind of "starter" was used, what level voltage and current was used, what type of purified water was used, etc. - the CS may acquire a color ranging from light yellow to dark gold, or even a grayish cloudiness. None of this effects the efficacy of CS. Even were the CS to reach a color of dark brown or purple, it would not be toxic, though it is believed by many that it is less assimilable. When using the
high-voltage method to make CS, the CS solution becomes very stable, and this "aggregation" is much less likely to occur, causing the CS to have a very long "shelf-life".

3. Q. So CS is never toxic or dangerous? A. CS must be made using water which is free from all minerals or contaminants; otherwise, while it is being made, the silver ions may join with other minerals in the water to form various silver salts, or compounds (like silver-nitrate, or silver-chloride). Some of these compounds are thought to be toxic to the human body. Generally, the best form of water is steam distilled or de-ionized water.

4. Q. What about Argyria, the "blue skin" disease? A.The reality is that there is not a single recorded case anywhere of anyone developing Argyria from the use of Colloidal Silver. What few cases are on record involve the extended use over long periods of time of enormous quantities of silver salts, meaning silver joined with other, sometimes toxic, substances (like silver-nitrate). No amount of Colloidal Silver has ever been shown to cause Argyria.

5. Q. What is the best ppm to use? How much CS is needed? A. The letters, ppm, stand for Parts Per Million.
Based upon reports from Health Professionals all over the world, the presence of silver ions in almost any
ppm is beneficial to the human body. In 1996, Dr. I. H. Tipton reported in the journal, "Health Physics", that the ideal daily intake of silver was 50-100 mcg. He believes silver to be an important trace mineral used by the body like chromium and selenium. Dr. Paul Farber reported, "Information about how much silver may have been in our ancestors diet is speculative; however, given the authoritative report by our own government some 60 years ago there is reason to believe that supplementing the body's intake of silver makes sense. One tsp of 10 PPM colloidal silver .001 to .004 particle size contains approximately 50 mcg (millionths of a gram).
Therefore two teaspoons would contain an equivalent level to that found in the USA food supply of more than 60 years ago.It could be argued that the amount taken to reach a level equal to our pre-ndustrialized
ancestors could even be more than double that figure." Remarkable results have been reported with ppm levels as low as .3 ppm. That's one third of 1 ppm! Some CS producers claim to make their product as high as 1000 ppm, using 10,000 volts of electricity. But the beneficial effect appears to be consistently positive,whatever the ppm or quantities of CS consumed. Some people experience benefits ingesting as little as 1/4 teaspoon per day, while others settle on 1 to 2 ounces or more per day.

6. Q. What happens if I take too much? Can I overdose?
A. The only negative effect reported by CS users is a phenomenon called the "Herxheimer effect", named
afterdoctor Karl Herxheimer (who identified this phenomenon). Sometimes, when a person starts off for the first time ingesting a large amount of CS, the CS is so efficient at killing pathogens in the body that the body cannot adequately dispose of the dead pathogens through the normal eliminative organs, and it resorts to the secondary ones, the lungs, sinuses and skin. Or the CS user may experience diarrhea, as the body tries to flush itself out. In that case, one merely needs to reduce or temporarily stop the CS until the healing crisis is over, and then start taking smaller amounts of CS. A new European Union Drinking Water Standard in draft form has removed any limitations on silver in drinking water following the World Health Organization's "Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality" which states, "It is unnecessary to recommend any health-based guidelines for silver as it is not hazardous to human health." According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Poison Control Center, CS is considered harmless. Dr. Samuel Etris, a senior consultant at the Silver Institute,says there has never been any allergenic, toxic or carcinogenic reactions to CS. The U.S.
Government's Center for Disease Control confirmed that fact in 1995.

CS for Candida, Yeast Infections, and Athlete's Foot
by Marvin Robey

Yeast and mold infections are among the most difficult to treat of human ailments. Some of them are also among the most debilitating, such as candida yeast. Candida yeast will readily grow in any moist area of the body, such as the mouth ("thrush"), groin ("jockitch"),vagina ("yeast infection"), and intestines.

Candida yeast is found naturally in the body, but is normally kept under control by friendly bacteria, such as acidophilus. But candida yeast often gets out of control following the use of antibiotics. The antibiotic kills off the friendly acidophilus and aerobic bacteria but does not affect the yeast. Without the friendly organisms such as the multiple strains of acidophilus to control it, candida grows fast. The excess sugar of diabetes will also provide food for yeast, causing it to proliferate. Diabetics are therefore especially prone to this type of
problem.

The intestines form perfect breeding grounds for candida. If the condition becomes bad enough, eventually the candida irritate an area of the intestine so much that their toxins penetrate the intestinal wall into the blood stream, where they can break down the immune system. Soon the candida infection itself passes through the intestinal wall and the white blood cells are consumed in their struggle to control the infection, further destroying the immune system. Thus, candida is a common contributor to many diseases and conditions, such
as AIDS, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, colds, flus, etc. Almost all disease and health problems are greatly aggravated by candida. Candida can sometimes be controlled by increasing the acidity of the body,especially the area the yeast is growing in. This can be done by eating acid foods, such as vinaigrette salad dressings,and by applying vinegar mixed with water to the problem area.

The best antibiotic commonly used to treat this condition is Nystatin. But Nystatin is only marginally effective against yeast, and remember that the problems probably started with the use of antibiotics to begin with.
Normally the body can handle minor yeast infections. However, when the yeast reaches the infectious stage
wherein it is poisoning the blood and the immune system grows weak, such infections as athlete's foot,
vaginal yeast infections, and fungus infections under the nails cannot be fought off.
A common treatment for the general infection is a diet completely free of all sugars, even fruit and starches along with taking Nystatin. However, anyone who has tried this treatment will tell you that this very strict diet is almost impossible to follow and does little more than keep the infection from proliferating. The most effective tools against yeast infections of all kinds are acidophilus (yogurt), Colloidal Silver,and upper colonics.
Combined, they can rid the body of yeast infections about as fast as the body can dispose of the toxins from dead cultures. However, disposing of these toxins can be a real problem, for two reasons. First of all, if the intestinal infection is killed off too sudden, it is possible for the intestines to become blocked. Obviously this can be serious and sometimes requires professional treatment to clear the bowels. Second, the body tends to dispose of toxins from the blood through the skin, which causes an itchy rash when the process is too fast.Toxins from dead spores can also strain the liver and kidneys.

Therefore, it is wise to take as much acidophilus as is convenient, but to build up the use of Colloidal Silver gradually, usually starting with one teaspoon of colloidal silver a day, of about ten parts per million, or the equivalent. This is usually increased by about one oz. per day until a breaking out appears or the conditions are relieved.

The Colloidal Silver provides a three-fold attack on the problems of candida. First, the it kills off anaerobic bacteria and virii wherever it comes in contact with them. Therefore, it virtually provides a secondary immune system against all types of disease and infections, while treating the candida. Thus much of the problems of candida are treated immediately, before the candida can be cleaned out of the system.Second, Colloidal Silver is unusually effective in treating the candida infection itself. And third, it has a strange and dynamic way of
healing injured and damaged tissues fast. Since yeast infections of all kinds usually attack and consume the living tissue, a healing process is badly needed, and Colloidal Silver has a very unique way of healing these tissues fast.

Users continually report that Colloidal Silver will cure athlete's foot, vaginal yeast infections, as well as candida infections of the skin very quickly and then heals the damaged tissues. However, these are often signs of an inner infection. Until the yeast infection within the body is cured, external infections keep on returning. That is no reason not to treat these conditions. But if they return, it is time to look to the source of the problems as being inward. One can, of course, find explanations for the sources of the reinfection.
However, a healthy body seldom succumbs to these infections. Colloidal Silver used internally and locally is a most effective treatment available today for all of these conditions.

Silver is a powerful, natural prophylactic/antibiotic, used for thousands of years, with no side effects. It is a catalyst, disabling the particular enzyme that all one-celled bacteria, fungus and virus, use for their oxygen metabolism,
they suffocate. Yet it is of no harm to human enzymes or any part of the human body chemistry.
And it kills all disease-causing organisms, in six minutes or less, upon contact, even those
pleomorphic, no matter how they mutate. Resistant strains fail to develop, and the body doesn't
develop a tolerance. Colloidal Silver is both a remedy and a prevention of infections of any kind.
Having sufficient Colloidal Silver in your body is to have a superior, second immune system. It was
in common use until 1938. Great Grandma put a silver dollar in the milk, to keep it fresh at room
temperature. (Ref-1,9)

Established Usage
Oral Formula (4-oz. bottle): After taking one teaspoon daily for four days take one half-teaspoon
daily, as adults, (and proportional, by body weight, for children), or apply directly to cuts, scrapes
and open sores, or put a few drops on a small Band-Aid and wear over warts, cuts, abrasions, or
any open sore, or dab directly onto eczema or such itchy areas, or acne, mosquito bites, or any skin
problem. Water is purified by adding one half-teaspoon per gallon, shake well, wait six minutes,
and shake again, wait six minutes, and drink. Mix it this way, it's tasteless, and drink two quarts,
over a day's time, especially with meals, as a great digestive aid, because it eliminates fermentation.
It is the ideal food preservative, because it is also good for you. Use in canning at one-quarter
teaspoon per quart. Those already using Colloidal Silver report that they catch milder, and fewer
if any, colds or flu. The emphasis is on the prevention of all infections. There are never any side effects. It never does any harm to the liver, kidneys, any other organ, system or any part of the
body. No-one has ever overdosed, regardless of the amount, as it is not at all an allopathic poison. The
Intravenous Formula, (1/2 oz. bottle/adult, proportional), is often preferred as it is more long
lasting and for some people, works better. Syringes are available from veterinary suppliers, like
IFA. (Ref-1,7,9,11,12,d)

Recognized Remedies
The following is a partial list of the more than 650 diseases that Colloidal Silver has been used
successfully against: acne, acne rosacea,AIDS(Ref-2),
allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, athlete's foot, tuberculosis, bladder inflammation, blood parasites
(cause gray hair), blood poisoning, boils, bubonic plague, burns, cancer (Ref-7,8), candida ,chilblains, cholera, colitis ,conjunctivitis, cystitis, diabetes (Ref-1), dysentery, eczema, fibrositis, gastritis, gonorrhea, hay fever, herpes, impetigo, indigestion, keratitis, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, lyme disease,malaria, meningitis, neurasthenia, parasitic infections both viral and fungal, pneumonia, pleurisy,prostate, pruritus ani,psoriasis, purulent ophthalmia, rhinitis, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever, septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat,seborrhea, septicemia, shingles, skin cancer, staph infections, strep infections, syphilis, thyroid,tonsillitis, toxemia, trachoma, trenchfoot, dermatitis, all forms of virus, warts, whooping cough,yeast infection , stomach ulcer, and also canine parvovirus and other veterinary uses. Also in all bacterial, fungal and viral attacks on plants. Simply spray diluted Silver on the leaves and add to soil water. (Ref-1,2,3,4,7,8,11,12).
Additionally There has never been a drug interaction with any other medication. Colloidal Silver has been
found to be both a remedy and a prevention for all colds, all flu, all infections and all fermentation
due to any bacteria, fungus or virus,especially staph and strep, which are found present in every disease conditionThrough simple high school biology studies we learn that all living things exist in the colloidal form. The body can more readily use medications already in the colloidal form, as opposed to crystalline. Colloidal Silver is the most useable form of the most effective disease fighter there is. The body actually needs Colloidal Silver to fight disease-causing organisms, and to aid healing. The adult RDA for Silver is 400 milligrams. Taken orally each day, it's like having a second immune system. Older folks feel younger because their body energies are used for something other than fighting disease, and digestion is better. Medical research has
proven that Silver promotes rapid healing, with less scar tissue,even in the case of severe burns.
Silver aids the developing fetus in growth, health, and eases the delivery and recovery. Fantastic
successes have been reported in many cases previously given up by establishment doctors. Colloidal
Silver is tasteless and won't sting, even Baby's eyes and won't upset the stomach. It is produced
today by a modernized original process, at a tiny fraction of the pre-1938 cost, and is more
concentrated. Contains no free radicals, as the Silver acts only as a catalyst, and is stabilized. This is not a chemical compound containing Silver, but pure metallic silver of submicroscopic clusters of just a few atoms, held in suspension, in pure water, by the tiny electric charge on each atom. It is absolutely non-toxic, (except to one-celled plants and animals), and non-addicting. Colloidal Silver
is the remedy for all infections, even the non-apparent, low-grade general body infections most
people have. Parasites are also killed, as they have an egg-stage in their reproductive cycle, which is
one-celled and therefore killed in six minutes or less). Keep from freezing, and in a cool, dark place.
(Ref-1,2,9,12)

Ref-1
Use of Colloids in Health and Disease. Colloidal Silver is proven particularly effective in cases of
intestinal troubles. Dr. Henry Crooks found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal,
quite harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic. Rather than in a chemical compounds the Silver, in the Colloidal state, may be applied in a much more concentrated form, with correspondingly better results. All fungus, virus, bacterium, streptococcus, staphylococcus, and other pathogenic organisms are killed in three or four minutes; in fact, there is no microbe known that is not killed by Colloidal Silver in six minutes or less, at a dilution of as little as 5 parts per million, though there are no side effects whatsoever from high concentrations.

Ref-2
Provo Herald 13 Feb. 92, pg.D1: Colloidal Silver as a cure for AIDS.
Ref-3
American Drug Index, section on Inorganic Pharmaceutical Chemistry, recognized Silver for its
germicidal action, calling a stabilized form: Mild Silver Protein. There are several forms of Mild
silver Protein.
Ref-4
The Condensed Chemical Dictionary 6th Edition: Mild Silver Protein is listed for medical use,
(the "Protein" is the trace used as a stabilizer).
Ref-5
The FDA has stated that because Colloidal Silver is (by fifty years) a pre-1938 drug, it may continue to be marketed. A 13 Sept. 1991, letter received from consumer safety officer, Harold Davis, U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Moreover, the FDA has no jurisdiction regarding a pure, mineral element.
Ref-6
Environmental Protection Agency's Poison control Center reports no toxicity listing for
Colloidal Silver, considering it harmless in any concentration.
Ref-7
Dr. Robert Becker The Body Electric, recognized a correlation between low Silver levels and
sickness. He said the Silver deficiency was responsible for the improper functioning of the immune system. Dr.Becker's experiments conclude that Silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any side effects or damage to any cells of the body, (being tissue and not single cells). He also states that the Silver was doing something more than killing disease-causing organisms. It was also causing major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Burn patients and even elderly patients noticed more rapid healing. And he discovered that all cancer
cells change back to normal cells.
All strains of pathogens resistant to other antibiotics are killed by Silver. Yet at that time he couldn't find a Silver supplement on the market.
Ref-8
Dr.Bjorn Nordstrom, of the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, has used Silver in his cancer cure
method, for many years. He says the whole thing is quite simple. This brought rapid remission in
patients given up by other doctors.
Ref-9
Silver Our Mightiest Germ Fighter Science Digest March 1978. As an antibiotic, Silver kills over
650 disease-causing organisms; resistant strains fail to develop. Silver is absolutely non-toxic.
Silver is the best all around germ-fighter we have. Doctors are reporting that, taken internally, it works against syphilis,cholera and malaria, diabetes and severe burns. Richard L Davies, executive director of the Silver Institute, which monitors Silver technology in 37 countries, reports: "In four years we've described 87 important new medical uses for Silver."

"A Few Unique Plus Traditional Uses For Silver Colloid"
By: Dr. Robert C. Beck
When you control a source of penny-per-gallon make-it-yourself high concentration silver colloid
(see attached how-to page) you can use it for hundreds of health improvement applications. A few
are suggested here. You can use most tap water to make colloid for industrial and external uses
and distilled or de-ionized water for internal or injectable applications.
Add to suspected drinking water when traveling or camping. Colloid sprayed burns heal rapidly
without scarring. Safely sterilize anything from toothbrushes to surgical instruments. Use topically
on cuts, wounds, abrasions, rashes, sunburn,
razor nicks, bandages. Spray on garbage to prevent decay odors. Mist kitchen sponges, towels,
cutting boards to eliminate E. Coli 0157:H7 and salmonella bacteria to prevent food poisoning,
gastrointestinal inflammation, and genital tract infections.
Add when canning, preserving, bottling. Use like peroxide on zits and acne. Add to juices. Milk will
delay spoiling, fermenting, deteriorating, clabbering or curdling. Spray in shoes, between toes, between legs to stop most skin itch,athletes foot, fungi, jock itch. Diminish dandruff, psoriasis, skin rashes, etc. dd to bath water,gargle, douches, colon irrigation, nasal spray and dental water-pic solutions. Cuts downtime dramatically with colds, flu, pneumonia, staph, strep, respiratory infections and rhino viruses. Skin itch, eye and ear infections, some moles and warts vanish when colloid is sprayed on body after bathing. Use with Q-tip on fingernail, toenail, and ear fungi. Neutralize tooth decay and bad breath. Colloid stops halitosis by eliminating bacteria deep in throat and on back of tongue. Unlike
pharmaceutical antibiotics, silver colloid never permits strain-resistant pathogens to evolve. Put a
few drops on band-aids and bandages to shorten healing times. Health professionals might
consider IV and IM injections. Tumor and polyp shrinking is reported when masses are injected
directly (when colloid is added to sterile physiological saline or Ringer's Solution which contains ~9000 ppm sodium chloride). Toothaches, mouth sores, bacterial irritations are diminished. Soak dentures. Spray refrigerator, freezer and food storage bin interiors. Stop mildew and wood rot.
Mix in postage stamp, envelope, and tape moistening wells, paint and paste pots to prevent bacterial growth, odors, spoiling or souring.
Add to water based paints, wallpaper paste, dishwasher, cleaning and mopping solutions, etc.
Spray pet bedding and let dry. Spray on top of contents of opened jam, jelly, and condiment
containers and inside lids before replacing. Mix a little in pet water, birdbaths, cut flower vases.
Always add to swamp cooler water. Spray air conditioner filters after cleaning. Swab air ducts and vents to prevent breeding sites for germs. Use routinely in laundry final rinse water and always before packing away seasonal clothes. Damp clothes or towels and washcloths will not sour or mildew. Eliminate unwanted microorganisms in planter soils and hydroponics systems.
Spray plant foliage to stop fungi, molds, rot, and most plant diseases. Treat pools, fountains,
humidifiers, Jacuzzis, hot tubs, baths, dishwashers, recirculating cooling tower water, gymnasium
foot dips, and bath and shower mats. Spray inside shoes, watch bands and gloves and under fingernails
periodically. Treat shower stalls, tubs, fonts, animal watering troughs, shavers to avoid trading
germs. Rinse fruit and vegetables before storing or using. Put in cooking water. Human and animal
shampoos become disinfectants. Prevent carpets, drapes, wallpaper from mildewing. Wipe
telephone mouthpieces, pipe sterns, headphones, hearing aids, eyeglass frames, hairbrushes, combs,
loofas.Excellent for diapers and diaper rash.Do toilet seats, bowls, tile floors, sinks, urinals,
doorknobs. Kill persistent odors. Rinse invalid pillowcases, sheets, towels and bedclothes. There are
literally thousands of other essential uses for this ridiculously inexpensive, odorless, tasteless,
colorless, totally benign and easily produced powerful non-toxic disinfectant and healing agent.
You'll find that a spray or misting bottle of silver colloid solution may be the most useful health
enhancement tool in your environment.

Munay-Ki - The Nine Great Rites Of Initiation Of The Medicine Way

2007-03-05T22:05:00.000-08:00

The Munay-Ki are the nine great rites of initiation of the medicine way. The word munay means I love you or BE AS THOU ART. The Munay-Ki are the nine gates that heal us and transform our human energy field into that of homo luminous. The prophecies of the ancient Americas speak about a new human appearing on the planet one who lives free of fear and resides in his or her transcendent nature. The Munay-Ki are the codes for the new human. They are delivered in the form of energetic transmissions. The ninth rite, the Creator Rite was transmitted for the first time in the summer of 2006 at the Holy Mountains in the Andes. The nine initiations of the Munay-Ki have only been available until recently to the high wisdom keepers of the Americas.

Part 1/5
Alberto Villoldo, PH.D. (thefourwinds.com), introduces viewers to the luminous energy field that surrounds and informs our physical body like a blueprint of life. Unveiling the secret of ancient shaman-healers, he teaches us that many of our physical and psychological problems stem from imprints within our luminous body. Dr. Villoldo reveals the nature of this luminous field, how it acts as a blueprint for our physical body and how by understanding its nature, we can actually heal ourselves and each other. Once the luminous body is cleared, Dr. Villoldo explains, physical and emotional healing can begin.

Trained as a Medical Anthropologist, Dr. Villoldo left the academic world behind twenty years ago to study among the Inka shamans. It was in the Andes Mountains of South America that he discovered the wisdom of the luminous body from the indigenous shamans. This ancient knowledge reveals the secret of true health and happiness.

To aid Dr. Villoldo in explaining the luminous energy field, the paintings of visionary artist Alex Grey are presented. No other artist has depicted the luminous energy form in all of its intricacies as clearly as Alex Grey. Dr. Villoldo's presentation, together with Alex Grey's images helps all of us understand the nature of our spiritual and physical well-being.

Many of our illnesses, psychological disorders, addictions and failed relationships can be traced to faulty imprints in our luminous body. In this video, Dr. Villoldo unveils how to heal and recover from these destructive imprints and regain our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Join us as we travel to the Andes Mountains to learn the secret of the ancient Shamans, a secret that can lead all of us to health, happiness and beauty.

Part 2/5 - Rites of the Munay KI - Introduction
Alberto Villoldo introduces the rites of the Munay KI. Rites that have the potential to change the world.

Part 3/5 - The Rites

Magnetic Pulsers

2007-03-05T15:55:00.000-08:00

Suggestions for Acquiring and Using an Inductively Coupled Magnetic Pulse Generator for Theoretical Lymph and Tissue HIV Neutralization

Top of Page

Revision December 18, 1995.

Note: These data are for informational and instructional purposes only and are not to be construed as medical advice. Consult with your licensed health practitioner.

In keeping with do-it-yourself inexpensive hypothetical approaches to self-help, the simplest and most rapid means for obtaining a capacitor-discharge magnetic pulse lymph and tissue pathogen neutralizer would be to find and modify a used functioning portable battery AND AC powered electronic flash (strobe light) for cameras. These are acquired at swap meets, yard sales, pawn shops, or in junk boxes at used camera stores. Or purchase a new Vivitar (brand) model 1900 ($22) carried at some professional camera stores. This compact, light weight, inexpensive, rapid recharging flash is only 17.5 Watt-seconds power but is readily available and easily modified. It works well enough for casual use but runs on batteries only so has greater operating expense than an AC/DC unit.

California swap meet prices for USED strobes range from $4.00 to about $18.00. One Sunday the writer found a dozen ac/dc strobes, all in good working condition. Carry four AA batteries with you so you can test flash units before purchasing. I chose to modify a long-discontinued Vivitar (brand) model 110 because it was larger than the rest and seemingly more powerful, however almost any brand or model of comparable output power (35 watt-seconds) should work. PREFERABLY SELECT ONE WITH 115V AC AS WELL AS BATTERY OPERATING (DC) CAPABILITY.

FIRST WIND THE APPLICATOR COIL. Junk VHS videocassette reels are cheap, plentiful and adequate for this application. Remove 5 screws from shell, remove reels and discard tape. Be SURE alternative spools (if used) are non-conductive or system will not work. Avoid shorter length VHS tape reels which may have center hubs larger than 1" dia. and won't hold sufficient wire. Drill 1/4" holes through hub and through center of flange(s). Make two 4" discs from 1/4" thick plastic or fiberboard, drill 1/4" center holes and another 1/4" hole off-center so coil's inside lead wire can be pulled through. These "stiffeners" will sandwich reel's flanges so they won't warp or split as wire pressure builds up while winding progresses. A 2" (or longer) 1/4-20 machine nut and bolt with washers through centers will clamp flange stiffeners and reel and also provide a shaft to hold in a variable speed drill motor or similar winding device if used. Then remove bolt and stiffeners.

SPECIFICATIONS: ~130 turns #14 plain enamel insulated copper magnet wire wound onto ~1" ID hub and ~3-1/2" OD VHS spool with a gap width for wire of ~5/8". Scrape enamel insulation 1/2" from end. Pull inside end of magnet wire through hub and stiffener and to outside. ~130 turns (about three 1/2 Lb rolls spliced together) should fill spool. Remove bolt, stiffeners, and finished coil. Now solder ends of 3 ft of HEAVY two-wire extension cord to each side of coil. Finished coil weighs ~1 LB 3 oz, has ~0.935 millihenry inductance, 0.34 W resistance, and takes ~20 minutes to hand wind or ~3 min. with drill motor. An excellent alternative is an AMS brand air-core crossover inductor for home audio, MCM Electronics, Centerville, OH 45459, (800) 543-4330 catalog # 50-940, #16 gauge, 0.58W, 2.5mH, 2-7/8" dia., $10.65.

STROBE MODIFICATION consists simply of wiring the finished applicator coil with 4' ft. leads in series between the flash tube and its storage capacitor. Be extremely cautious when working with case open because a strobe's capacitor can hold a residual high-voltage charge for a long time even when "off". Before modifying and to avoid shock, short out the capacitor by placing clip leads directly across the flash tube. Remember to remove this shunt later. To install coil, unsolder either wire from flash tube and connect one lead wire from coil to that side of tube. Connect the other lead from coil to the wire you just removed from tube. Insulate connections with tape. This places your coil IN SERIES with the flash tube and enables the tube to act as an ionized gas relay or "thyratron" that dumps most of capacitor's stored energy through coil when fired. Lamp will still flash but less brightly. Cover flash window with black paper. Replace case. You're done!

IS IT WORKING PROPERLY? A good way to test for strength of pulsed magnetic energy is to lay a thin steel washer (one strongly attracted to magnet) flat on top of coil, 1/2" off center. A 1" dia. "fender" washer with 1/8" center hole works well. Let the flash unit charge for about ten seconds plus or until the strobe's "ready light" comes on then push flash button and see how high the washer is "kicked" by Eddy current repulsion. A 35 watt-second strobe repels a washer about 14 inches vertically. Think of your pulsed coil as the "primary" of a transformer and anything conductive nearby (living tissue included) as the "secondary" into which current is induced when cut by coil's time-varying magnetic lines of flux. Your do-it-yourself magnetic pulse generator delivers a measurable output intensity SEVERAL THOUSAND TIMES more powerful during each cycle than $7,000.00 German "Magnetotrons"®, Elecsystem "Biotrons"®, or Canada's "Centurion"® devices widely exhibited at holistic medical expos, none of which is NEARLY powerful enough for HIV, herpes, hepatitis or Epstein-Barr neutralization or adequate electroporation. It is also functionally similar to the "Diapulse"® miracle-working healing modality when coil is applied over liver and other organs. Magnetic fields and therefore induced currents penetrate ALL body cells, bones and tissues in proximity to coil (effective approx. 4 inches deep) and can theoretically neutralize electro-sensitive viruses such as herpes B, HIV, hepatitis, Epstein-Barr and possibly many others as yet undiscovered that can hide WITHIN nerve sheaths and are therefore untouchable via immune system, white cells, or injectables. This may account for the impossibility of curing many known chronic infections via pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, or any presently known conventional treatments other than electrotherapy. Use pulser on body sites daily concurrently with blood clearing. This pulser is considered safe to use anywhere on the head, chest, and body except with cardiac pacemaker users. SEE GRAY ANATOMY for lymph gland locations.

TO USE, press fully insulated coil flat against body over lymph glands and other selected locations such as shown on page 11. Let strobe build up to full charge (about 10 seconds or longer between pulses) and fire coil while contacting each site. Subjects will feel no physical sensations except for light "thumps" during this phase of treatment. Exposure levels are considered safe because intensity of this magnetic pulser is much lower than Magnetic Nuclear Resonance Imaging in routine use on tens of thousands of patients. But should subject feel "headachy", nauseous, sluggish, or display flu-like symptoms after exposures with either of these two devices, reduce number of pulses or duration of blood clearing process and drink more water. If immune system is very badly damaged, you may need to repeat all routines after several months to insure permanent and complete neutralization. WHEN USING, KEEP COIL SEVERAL FEET AWAY FROM CREDIT CARDS, WATCHES, MAGENTIC TAPE, COMPUTERS, FLOPPY DISKS, HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES, ETC., since its powerful magnetic field can de-gauss and erase magnetic data as well as subtle energy potentized medicines. As an unanticipated serendipity, pulsers are reported to erase deeply rooted lymph and tissue pathology and possibly even classical "miasma's" as well as many other microbes, fungi, bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Flash should preferably be used with AC power to save battery costs since you'll only get about 40 full pulses per new set of alkaline batteries. For sanitary purposes, enclose coil in plastic zip-lock sandwich bag discarded after each user. When treating numerous subjects if there's no AC adapter it is economical to purchase and utilize a small rechargeable 6V lead-acid "motorcycle" type storage battery.

HOW MUCH SHOULD THIS COST? Used electronic flash lamps cost approx. $4.00 to approx. $18.00. Three 1/2 LB spools of #14 magnet wire retail for $9.66 ea. at Action Electronics. (You'll need approx. 1-1/2 LB) 4-AA alkaline batteries, $ 2.89. A 12 ft #14 X 2-wire 15 amp. AC extension cord costs about $2. and makes 4 sets of leads, or use heavy-duty speaker wire.

The Bob Beck Protocol on how to use the blood electrifier, magnetic pulser, colloidal silver maker and ozone generator

How to make your own Colloidal Silver

2007-03-05T08:52:00.001-08:00

Anyone can now make colloidal silver once they know how. Making
colloidal silver is much easier than you would imagine. There are
however a few things you need to know to do it right.

NOTE: This report is intended to instruct you in how to make
colloidal silver for yourself. Any applications of colloidal
silver mentioned are simply by way of example and are not
intended as recommendations or diagnoses in any way. You can and
should make your own decisions concerning how you use colloidal
silver. If you desire medical advice, you should consult a
medical practitioner. NOTHING IN THIS REPORT IS OR SHOULD BE
CONSTRUED AS MEDICAL ADVICE OR DIAGNOSES.

PROCESSING POINTERS

The basic process is simply to pass a small electric current
through distilled water using a silver electrode. Contrary to
popular belief, distilled water will conduct a small amount of
electricity, allowing production of micro particulate colloidal
silver.

While many have advocated "seeding" the solution with a previous
batch of colloidal silver and/or a few grains of sodium chloride
(common table salt), this is actually unnecessary and I don't
recommend it. You only need to raise the voltage until you
achieve an adequate production rate.

The key here is to adjust the voltage to produce silver particles
at a reasonably slow rate, while not taking too long to get
results. You can produce a good batch of 10-40 ppm colloidal
silver in about 4 to 24 hours. If the process proceeds too
quickly you will be creating larger particles, which is not
advisable. And, while there is no harm in running the process
more slowly, there is no need to take longer than about a day or
so.

The basic process runs well at about 30 volts DC. Usually three 9
volt batteries connected in series (27 volts) will do the job
nicely. If it doesn't seem to be working after about half an
hour, you can simply add another battery or two until it starts
working. If you can obtain a variable DC power supply that will
supply 20-50 volts, you will be in fine shape and won't have to
keep buying batteries.

Although many have spoken of using two silver electrodes immersed
in a container of water, I have not found this to be the optimal
method. I have found that using a silver positive electrode with
a stainless steel negative electrode seems to work much better.
While a piece of stainless flatware (e.g. a fork or spoon) will
work fine, a large stainless mixing bowl or pot is preferable.

SILVER FACTS

For the silver electrode, absolutely DO NOT USE STERLING SILVER!
Sterling is only about 70% silver. Some have suggested that you
must use only .9999 fine (or finer) silver. While you would do no
harm using such pure silver, there is actually no need to go to
such extremes. The standard for purity in silver is .999 fine
(which purity will be just fine :-).

Since we are producing colloidal silver at 10-40 ppm, using .999
fine will result in maximum impurities of only 10-40 parts per
BILLION! This is much less than the impurities you will find in
distilled water. Probably .99 fine silver would work as well,
though the savings over .999 fine would be relatively
insignificant (it might even cost more, being nonstandard).

You should be able to get .999 fine silver at any local jewelry
supply store. I buy mine at a local shop that crafts jewelry and
sells supplies for crafting your own. I prefer to buy it in
ribbon form about an eighth inch wide, though you may also find
it in sheet or wire form. Just make sure you ask for "fine"
silver and not sterling. I just say I'm using it for chemistry
(which I am) and need the pure silver.

Silver is currently quite inexpensive at only about 4 to 5
dollars per ounce. Which amounts to only about half a dollar to a
dollar a foot in ribbon form. Don't be misled into paying $10 for
a couple of 3-5 inch lengths of silver wire. This simply is
highway robbery! I just buy a few feet of silver ribbon at a time
and it makes many gallons of colloidal silver.

PRODUCTION

The easiest way to make colloidal silver is to fill your
stainless bowl or pot with a gallon or two of distilled water,
dangle your piece of silver into the water and apply the voltage
via a couple of clip leads. You want to make sure the silver
doesn't touch the stainless container and make sure the clip
leads stay out of the water. The negative electrode connects to
the bowl while the positive electrode connects to the silver. You
can use a wooden spoon or a plastic ruler or some other non
conductor laid across the bowl to dangle the silver from.

During production, some of the silver will not convert into
colloid and so will not remain suspended. This will form a bit of
a scum, some of which will float on the water, while the rest
will collect on the surface of the container and/or the silver
electrode. You should let this settle and simply strain out any
remaining with a cloth or other filter. If more settles out, just
leave it. Don't try to mix it back in since it isn't colloidal
and shouldn't be used. The silver that remains suspended is what
you are after.

If you carefully weigh your piece of silver both before and after
production, you can get a pretty good idea of how many parts per
million you are getting. Since some of it doesn't form colloid
and is discarded, you will have to take this into account when
figuring your remaining ppm. You can either just estimate it or
you can try to measure it if you like. You simply divide the
weight of the silver used, by the weight of the water then
multiply by a million to get parts per million.

MISCELLANEOUS HINTS AND TIPS

I usually don't bother with exact measurements, since the precise
concentration does not seem to be that important. I've used
commercial colloidal silver in various concentrations, from 5 ppm
to 500 ppm. While some have suggested that you should dilute your
colloidal silver to something below 40 ppm, I have not found a
good reason to do so. The important thing seems to be keeping the
colloidal silver in your mouth for a while to help with
absorbtion. This is because stomach acid may hinder absorbtion.

Particle size is mainly a function of production rate and should
be fine as long as you don't try to go too fast.

If you just let the process run all day or all night, then let it
settle for a while or maybe over night and strain it, you should
wind up with good colloidal silver. Usually it turns out clear,
then changes to golden yellow after a day or two.

Sometimes I've had it turn out gray, but after letting it settle
out, it seemed to be okay. Some have suggested that the gray
color means it's contaminated with too much chloride or nitrate,
so you may wish to discard gray batches. If it comes out violet
or other colors, it's probably contaminated and should be
discarded or used for disinfecting laundry or other less critical
applications.

Be sure to rinse out and wipe off your container and silver
electrode with each batch you make. A final rinse with a little
distilled water will also help reduce any stray contaminants.

Prescription For Disaster

2007-02-24T20:02:00.000-08:00

Prescription for Disaster is an in-depth investigation into the symbiotic relationships between the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, ... all » lobbyists, lawmakers, medical schools, and researchers, and the impact this has on consumers and their health care. During this thorough investigation, we take a close look at patented drugs, why they are so readily prescribed by doctors, the role insurance companies and HMO's play in promoting compliance, and the problem of rising health care costs. We examine the marketing and public relations efforts on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies, including sales reps, medical journals and conferences. Further, we look at alternatives to traditional pharmacology and drug therapy, such as vitamins and nutritional supplements, and why they are often perceived as a competitive threat to the drug manufacturers. Alternative therapies also include diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle.

Prescription for Disaster takes you on a journey through the tangled web of big business, the way disease is treated today, and the consequences we suffer as a society.

Aids Cure In Russia

2007-02-23T21:17:00.000-08:00

Russian Scientists To Test Anti-AIDS Medication 15.02.2007

Scientists from Siberia have developed a preparation based on silver molecules, which is expected to treat AIDS and other dangerous diseases.

Irkutsk research fellows have developed a silver-containing substance, which kills all known pathogenic bacteria. The Favorsky Institute of Chemistry gave finished in vitro tests of the substance.

The preparation is now passing toxicity tests, and animal testing starts in two months – test animals will be either rats or rabbits, since their blood composition is most close to human blood.

First tests will be performed with AIDS virus, which is expected to be cured with the preparation. The preparation is delivered to damaged cells in a tiny container made of polysaccharides extracted from Siberian larch. These polysaccharides easily penetrate cell walls, thus delivering silver molecules inside
the cell. More Info Here

Colloidal and Ionic Gold

Benefits of Gold:

Gold is reported to be associated with the following benefits

*

General feeling of well-being and raised energy levels

*

Enhancement of the body's natural defenses against illness

*

Increased vitality and longevity

*

Improved glandular function

*

Physical relaxation

*

Repair of damaged DNA

*

Reduced joint inflammation

*

Relief of pain

*

Anti-inflammatory effects

*

Antidepressant effects especially in drug and alcohol addiction

Some symptoms of a gold deficiency:

Arthritis, Brain Dysfunction, Cancer, Chills, Circulatory Disorders, Depression, Digestive Disorders, Drug / Alcohol Addiction, Gland Dysfunction, Hot Flashes, Insomnia, Joint Inflammation, Night Sweats, Obesity, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

What are the benefits of Mono-Atomic Colloidal Gold?

While Colloidal Gold does not have the same germicidal/anti-bacterial action of Colloidal Silver, Colloidal gold is known for its powers as an anti-inflammatory and is reputed to be a powerful glandular rejuvenant with life extension, raised brain function and I.Q. (Frontier Perspectives, Vol 7, No 2, Fall 1998) and Pineal enhancing possibilities. It has been known to be effective for easing the pains and swellings of arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis, and tendonitis. In former times it was used as an aphrodisiac and to quell the cravings for alcohol, and has been used as a remedy for digestive disorders, circulatory problems, depression, obesity, and burns. Gold is a catalyst for endorphin-like hormones as well as the antioxidant enzyme SuperOxideDesmutase (SOD). Colloidal Gold is tasteless and non-toxic

Some traditional uses include treatments for arthritis, skin ulcers, burns, impotence and certain nerve-end operations. Gold can have a balancing and harmonizing effect on the body particularly with regard to unstable mental and emotional states, such as depression, S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder), melancholy, sorrow, fear, despair, anguish, frustration, suicidal tendencies; the maladies commonly referred to as the "sicknesses of the heart". Gold has been known down through the ages to have a direct effect on the activities of the heart, helping to improve blood circulation. It is known to be beneficial for rejuvenating sluggish organs, especially the digestive system (constipation) and brain.

Gold has been used in cases of glandular and nervous in-coordination, helping to rejuvenate the glands, stimulate the nerves and release nervous pressure. The body's warmth mechanism may be positively affected by gold, particularly in cases of chills, heat flashes, night sweats and menopausal symptoms. A daily combination of silver and gold mono-atomic water appears to support our bodies natural defense system against disease and help promote renewed vitality and longevity.

Doctors Nilo Cairo and A. Brinckmann wrote a best selling work entitled "Materia Medica", (Sao Paulo, Brazil, 19th Edition, 1965), in which Colloidal Gold was listed as the number one remedy against obesity. In July 1935, the medical periodical "Clinical, Medicine & Surgery" had an article entitled "Colloidal Gold in Inoperable Cancer" written by Edward H. Ochsner, M.D., Chicago-Consulting Surgeon, Augustana Hospital. He stated, "When the condition is hopeless, Colloidal Gold helps prolong life and makes life much more bearable, both to the patient and to those about them, because it shortens the period of terminal cachexia (general physical wasting and malnutrition usually associated with chronic disease) and greatly reduces pain and discomfort and the need of opiates (narcotics) in a majority of instances."

Effect of Colloidal Metallic Gold
on Cognitive Functions: A Pilot Study

From "Journal of Frontier Sciences"

Guy E. Abraham, MD; Souhaila A. McReynolds; Joel S. Dill, PhD

Optimox Corporation, Torrance, California

Abstract:

In order to evaluate the effect of colloidal metallic gold on cognitive functions, the revised Wechsler Intelligence scales battery of tests (WAIS-R) was administered to 5 subjects aged 15 to 45 years, before, after 4 weeks on colloidal gold at 30 mg/day and again 1 to 3 months off the gold preparation. The WAIS-R total scores (I.Q) were calculated by adding the sum of the verbal test scores to the sum of the performance scores. After 4 weeks on colloidal gold, there was a 20% increase in I.Q scores with mean + SE of 112.8 + 2.3 pre gold and 137 + 3.8, post gold (p <0.005). Both the performance and verbal test scores contributed equally to this increase in I.Q scores. The effect of the colloidal gold persisted in 3 subjects after 1 to 2 month off gold, where as in 2 subjects who took the tests 3 months after stopping the gold , I.Q scores were down to baseline levels.

Introduction:

It is generally accepted that intelligence or cognitive functioning is the sum of many mental capacities. For this reason, tests that were developed to measure intelligence quotient (I.Q) comprised a series of subtests evaluating the several dimensions of intelligence. Of the several I.Q tests available, educators have found that the Full Scale I.Q score of the Wechsler intelligence scales (WIS) battery, which is calculated from the sum of the individual scores of 11 tests, (6 verbal and 5 performance tests) is an excellent predictor of academic achievement.1 The revised version of this I.Q test (WAIS-R) has been used extensively to assess the effect of deficiencies and supplementation of specific nutrients2,3 and the effects of sex, race, age and education4-7 on mental performance.

Gold is a precious metal which belongs to the transition group I in the periodic table and exists in nature in two basic forms: metallic gold and gold salts. Metallic gold is non-toxic, used extensively in dentistry and is widely available in colloidal form as a nutritional supplement for human consumption. One of us (GEA) has observed a significant subjective improvement of mental performance in 21 adult subjects after ingestion of a preparation of colloidal metallic gold (Aurasol®) for 3 to 9 months at a daily dosage of 15 mg of gold (unpublished). In order to use an objective and more standardized approach in evaluating the effect of colloidal gold on mental performance, the WAIS-R battery of tests7 was performed on 5 subjects (4 females, 1 male) age 15-45 years, before, during and after the ingestion of the same colloidal gold preparation at 30 mg/ day. The results suggest that colloidal gold at 30 mg/day improved significantly the I.Q scores after only one month of administration.

Materials and Methods:

Aqueous dispersion of colloidal metallic gold was prepared by a modification of the citrate reduction method of Frens. The concentration of gold in this preparation (Aurasol® ) was 30 mg per ounce of fluid.

Five subjects were recruited for this study ( 4 females and 1 male) with ages ranging from 15 to 45 years. The subjects were evaluated using the WAIS-R procedure.7 Verbal scores, performance scores and total scores (I.Q) for each subject were calculated. The WAIS-R battery was performed on each subject before gold administration, after ingesting 30 mg of colloidal gold daily for one month, and again after being off the gold preparation for 1 to 3 months. The statistical significance of the data was assessed by Student's paired t test.9

Results:

The group of tests called verbal are non-learning and therefore is not influenced significantly by repetition. The performance tests can be learned with repetition and this should be taken into consideration when evaluating the results displayed in Table I. The mean scores + standard error (SE) were respectively for pre- and post-gold administration: verbal 61.4 + 2.4 and 75.4 + 4.5 (p<0.005); performance 51.4 + 0.83 and 61.6 + 1.9 (p<0.01); total scores (IQ) 112.8 + 2.3 and 137 + 3.8 (p<0.005). Since both the verbal (non-learning and performance (learning) scores contributed equally to the increased values observed in the total IQ scores following colloidal gold, the positive effect of colloidal gold cannot be attributed solely to learning the correct responses on the second test due to repetition.

It is of interest to note that in two subjects (#1 and #2) who repeated the battery 3 months after stopping colloidal gold, the total IQ scores were close to baseline pre-gold levels whereas, in 2 subjects who performed the test 1 month after stopping the gold, (#3 and #5) and in one subject (#4) who did so after 2 months off colloidal gold, the total IQ scores were still elevated above baseline, suggesting that the effect of the gold on mental performance has a carry-over of one to two months after stopping the use of this preparation.

Discussion:

The WIS battery of tests is an excellent predictor of scholastic performance.1 In fact, according to Lezak,10 the average scores on a WIS battery provide just about as much information as do average scores on a school report card. We have observed a significant increase (20%) of the mean IQ scores in 5 subjects aged 15 to 45 years after only one month on oral colloidal metallic gold at 30 mg/day. This effect persisted for up to 2 months following discontinuation of the gold preparation. To our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the effect of colloidal gold on mental performance. Possible mechanisms of action of the colloidal gold preparation are only speculative at this time. However, the potential applications of a non-toxic colloidal metal with marked and rapid positive effect on mental performance are without question of great practical value, not only in scholastic performance but also in the workplace.

The encouraging results of this pilot study warrant further evaluation of colloidal metallic gold in a larger number of subjects of different age groups. Testing various amounts of gold would assist in quantifying the response of the IQ tests in term of cumulative amount of gold ingested in order to investigate a possible dose-response relationship. Using the smallest amount of colloidal gold that results in a desirable effect on mental performance and scholastic achievement would keep the cost of such a program as low as possible.

More Colloidal Facts

2007-02-14T16:44:00.001-08:00

One thing is for sure, - it doesn't work like conventional medicine! It

doesn't contain any pharmaceutical drugs. It doesn't contain anything

that is not organic and it's effect on the body is completely holistic. It

is safe to to use and is non-toxic, and can be used in conjunction with

other medicines and treatments, due to its unique properties.

______________

An effective colloidal is a solution made up of microscopic tiny particles of for example, silver or gold which carries a positive electrical charge and is kept in suspension in the purest steam distilled water by that very same electrical charge that is used to facilitate the amazing healing capabilities and protection properties of these colloidals.

WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER?

Firstly it should be explained that the best and most effective colloidal silver is made using a very low electric voltage which takes a considerable amount of time in comparison to a lot of the usual sources. This is because the longer it takes at the lower voltage, the smaller and thus more effective the resultant particles are. This is why we refer to these microscopic and tiniest sized colloidal particles Ultrafine Colloidals.

Secondly, it is very important that the quality of the precious metals are of the the highest purity which is why we only consider ultrafine colloidals made from .999 purity. This quality of silver and gold is of course not only extremely hard to obtain but also much more expensive than the more easily found regular gold and silver. The only other item necessary to make an ultrafine colloidal is the purest quality water available which is a multiple steam distilled water suitable for hospital IV use. The combination of the purity of these two elements and the slow process of extraction by using low voltage electricity to gradually extract these miniscule nano particles of pure .999 silver and gold is what is necessary to create a superior and thus highly effective colloidal solution for various treatments both for health and beauty problems.

Benefits of Colloidal Silver

COLLOIDAL SILVER made to ultrafine standards is the finest germ, virus and bacteria fighter available. Because of its super fine microscopic structure (0.10-0.01 micron) it is capable of incredible healing and defensive powers as in the following:-

osteoporosis, rheumatism, arthritis, broken bones, torn ligaments, swollen and sore joints, sprains, strains, stress, flu, colds, sore throat and is a phenomenal antibiotic alternative and germicide.

Colloidal Gold Information

From ancient times, gold has been one of the most prized of all substances on earth. It has been the possession of choice in times of trouble and chaos. It has been used as money from the earliest civilizations. It has been used to make gods to worship and jewelry to wear. It is used to seal the sacred vow of marriage and has sealed the fate of many nations. Gold has gilded temples, mansions and even gourmet food.

For many years, gold has been used to preserve good health in the human body and mind. According to scripture, all of the vessels in the temple used to prepare and consume the sacrifice were made of pure gold. The priests, therefore, were steadily ingesting gold. We are not implying anything by this, necessarily, but the thought is an intriguing one. If you are intrigued by what you have read so far and would dare to explore further, follow these links to find out more.

Gold is one of the best and most efficient conductors of electrons. The brain and nervous system depend on the movement of electrons between cells to function and in the experience of many who have supplemented with gold, the electrolytic properties of gold are unparalleled in the enhancement of that function. Many people are now using this dietary supplement to uplift the emotions and reduce the effects of depression, as well as to enhance the ability to focus.

Gold in various forms has been used to treat human maladies. The pain of Arthritis is successfully stopped in mainstream medicine by injections of gold salts. Practitioners have used forms of gold to relieve the craving for alcohol and other addicting drugs. The Chinese value gold as an elixir of great therapeutic value.

The First Prescription by The Great Physician

Moses

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments from God, he found that the people had taken their jewelry and fashioned themselves a god in the form of a "golden calf." "They sat down to eat and drink and got up to play." In effect, they got tired of waiting for Moses and the things of God and decided to party and worship an idol. God called them "stiffnecked" or stubborn. Then, in Exodus 32, in verses 19 and 20 it says:

19 "And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

20 And he took the [golden] calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strowed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it."

This is the first prescription given in the history of mankind, colloidal gold. It was prescribed for anxiety and impatience. It still works for these and many other symptoms today.

The use of gold for healing and control of pain has long been described in folklore and legends. The earliest documented use in "modern" medicine was in 1890 when Dr. Robert Koch discovered that Tubercle Bacillus could not live in the presence of gold. Prior to that time it was known and used in the Middle Ages for its health restorative properties.

Alexandria , Egypt was believed to have been the original founding place for the use of gold in medicine by a group of adepts known as Alchemists. The alchemists developed an "elixir" made of liquid gold which purportedly had the ability to restore youth and perfect health. Paracelsus, one of the greatest known alchemist/chemists, founded the school of iatrochemistry, the chemistry of medicines, which is the forerunner of modern pharmacology. He developed medicines from metallic minerals including gold, to cure the sick. Many of his patients had been considered beyond help by the physicians of his time. Later, alchemy spread to Arabia then throughout the Middle East to India and China and eventually Europe . Even today in China , the belief in the restorative properties of gold remain intact in rural villages, where peasants cook their rice with a gold coin to replenish the gold in their bodies. It has been reported that in the early 1900's doctors would implant a $5.00 gold piece under the skin, such as in a knee joint. As a result, the pain would subside most of the time, or in many cases go completely away. Gold has been used to treat arthritis continuously since 1927.

Europeans have long been aware of the benefits of gold in the system and have been buying gold coated pills and 'Gold Water' over the counter for well over 100 years. As far back as 1885 here in the U.S. , gold has been famous for the healing activity of the heart and improved blood circulation.

Also, around 1885, Colloidal Gold was commonly used in the US as the basis for the cure of dipsomania (uncontrollable craving for alcoholic liquors). Since then, some traditional uses include treatments for skin ulcers, burns, certain nerve-end operations and various types of punctures.

Gold has been used in cases of glandular and nervous uncoordination, helping to rejuvenate the glands, stimulate the nerves and release nervous pressure. The body's warmth mechanism may be positively affected by gold, particularly in cases of chills, hot flashes, and night sweats. Used daily with colloidal silver, colloidal gold may support our bodies' natural defense system against disease and help promote renewed vitality and longevity.

Doctors Nilo Cairo and A. Brinckmann wrote a best selling work entitled "Materia Medica", (Sao Paulo, Brazil, 19th Edition, 1965), in which Colloidal Gold was listed as the number one remedy against obesity.

In July 1935, the medical periodical "Clinical, Medicine & Surgery" had an article entitled "Colloidal Gold in Inoperable Cancer" written by Edward H. Ochsner, M.D., B.S., F.A.C.S., Chicago-Consulting Surgeon, Augustana Hospital . He stated, "When the condition is hopeless, Colloidal Gold helps prolong life and makes life much more bearable, both to the patient and to those about them, because it shortens the period of terminal cachexia (general physical wasting and malnutrition usually associated with chronic disease) and greatly reduces pain and discomfort and the need of opiates (narcotics) in a majority of instances."

STUDIES

Here are some recent studies done on the effects of colloidal gold in humans. This is not our research and cannot be substantiated first hand.

Effect of Colloidal Metallic Gold on Cognitive Functions: A Pilot Study

Guy E. Abraham, MD; Souhaila A. McReynolds; Joel S. Dill, PhD

Optimox Corporation, Torrance, California

Abstract

In order to evaluate the effect of colloidal metallic gold on cognitive functions, the revised Wechsler Intelligence scales battery of tests (WAIS-R) was administered to 5 subjects aged 15 to 45 years, before, after 4 weeks on colloidal gold at 30 mg/day and again 1 to 3 months off the gold preparation. The WAIS-R total scores (I.Q) were calculated by adding the sum of the verbal test scores to the sum of the performance scores. After 4 weeks on colloidal gold, there was a 20% increase in I.Q scores with mean + SE of 112.8 + 2.3 pre gold and 137 + 3.8, post gold (p <0.005). Both the performance and verbal test scores contributed equally to this increase in I.Q scores. The effect of the colloidal gold persisted in 3 subjects after 1 to 2 month off gold, where as in 2 subjects who took the tests 3 months after stopping the gold, I.Q. scores were down to baseline levels.

Introduction

It is generally accepted that intelligence or cognitive functioning is the sum of many mental capacities. For this reason, tests that were developed to measure intelligence quotient (I.Q) comprised a series of subtests evaluating the several dimensions of intelligence. Of the several I.Q tests available, educators have found that the Full Scale I.Q score of the Wechsler intelligence scales ( WIS ) battery, which is calculated from the sum of the individual scores of 11 tests, (6 verbal and 5 performance tests) is an excellent predictor of academic achievement. The revised version of this I.Q test (WAIS-R) has been used extensively to assess the effect of deficiencies and supplementation of specific nutrients and the effects of sex, race, age and education on mental performance.

Gold is a precious metal which belongs to the transition group I in the periodic table and exists in nature in two basic forms: metallic gold and gold salts. Metallic gold is non-toxic, used extensively in dentistry and is widely available in colloidal form as a nutritional supplement for human consumption. One of us (GEA) has observed a significant subjective improvement of mental performance in 21 adult subjects after ingestion of a preparation of colloidal metallic gold for 3 to 9 months at a daily dosage of 15 mg of gold (unpublished). In order to use an objective and more standardized approach in evaluating the effect of colloidal gold on mental performance, the WAIS-R battery of tests7 was performed on 5 subjects (4 females, 1 male) age 15-45 years, before, during and after the ingestion of the same colloidal gold preparation at 30 mg/day. The results suggest that colloidal gold at 30 mg/day improved significantly the I.Q scores after only one month of administration.

Materials and Methods

Aqueous dispersion of colloidal metallic gold was prepared by a modification of the citrate reduction method of Frens. The concentration of gold in this preparation was 30 mg per ounce of fluid.Five subjects were recruited for this study ( 4 females and 1 male) with ages ranging from 15 to 45 years. The subjects were evaluated using the WAIS-R procedure. Verbal scores, performance scores and total scores (I.Q) for each subject were calculated. The WAIS-R battery was performed on each subject before gold administration, after ingesting 30 mg of colloidal gold daily for one month, and again after being off the gold preparation for 1 to 3 months. The statistical significance of the data was assessed by Student's paired test.

Results

The group of tests called verbal are non-learning and therefore is not influenced significantly by repetition. The performance tests can be learned with repetition and this should be taken into consideration when evaluating the results displayed in Table I. The mean scores + standard error (SE) were respectively for pre- and post-gold administration: verbal 61.4 + 2.4 and 75.4 + 4.5 (p<0.005); performance 51.4 + 0.83 and 61.6 + 1.9 (p<0.01); total scores (IQ) 112.8 + 2.3 and 137 + 3.8 (p<0.005). Since both the verbal (non-learning and performance (learning) scores contributed equally to the increased values observed in the total IQ scores following colloidal gold, the positive effect of colloidal gold cannot be attributed solely to learning the correct responses on the second test due to repetition.

It is of interest to note that in two subjects (#1 and #2) who repeated the battery 3 months after stopping colloidal gold, the total IQ scores were close to baseline pre-gold levels whereas, in 2 subjects who performed the test 1 month after stopping the gold, (#3 and #5) and in one subject (#4) who did so after 2 months off colloidal gold, the total IQ scores were still elevated above baseline, suggesting that the effect of the gold on mental performance has a carry-over of one to two months after stopping the use of this preparation.

Discussion

The WIS battery of tests is an excellent predictor of scholastic performance. In fact, according to Lezak, the average scores on a WIS battery provide just about as much information as do average scores on a school report card. We have observed a significant increase (20%) of the mean IQ scores in 5 subjects aged 15 to 45 years after only one month on oral colloidal metallic gold at 30 mg/day. This effect persisted for up to 2 months following discontinuation of the gold preparation. To our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the effect of colloidal gold on mental performance. Possible mechanisms of action of the colloidal gold preparation are only speculative at this time. However, the potential applications of a non-toxic colloidal metal with marked and rapid positive effect on mental performance are without question of great practical value, not only in scholastic performance but also in the workplace.

The encouraging results of this pilot study warrant further evaluation of colloidal metallic gold in a larger number of subjects of different age groups. Testing various amounts of gold would assist in quantifying the response of the IQ tests in term of cumulative amount of gold ingested in order to investigate a possible dose-response relationship. Using the smallest amount of colloidal gold that results in a desirable effect on mental performance and scholastic achievement would keep the cost of such a program as low as possible.

Colloidal Gold in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Peter B. Himmel, Jorge D. Flechas, Guy E. Abraham

Gold salts (aurothiolates) once the primary therapy for active RA has in recent years declined in its use because of apparent lack of long term efficacy, toxic side effects, and delayed onset of action. One of us (GEA) postulated that the active ingredient in aurothiolates is colloidal gold generated by in vivo disproportionation with subsequent clustering of monoatomic gold, and that the side effects were due to the aurothiolates themselves and the trivalent cationic gold generated from the disproportionation. If this postulate is valid one would expect colloidal gold [which is not gold salts] to have therapeutic effects in RA and devoid of side effects.

Methods:

10 patients (6 female, 4 male; average age 50 +/- 3.16 (SE) with long standing erosive RA ( 9 of 10 seropositive) were given an oral dose of 30 to 60 mg a day of colloidal gold (Aurasol-tm) for a period of 1 month. Clinical exams were performed weekly and laboratory studies done on weeks 1, 2, 4. Gold toxicity was evaluated by questioning the patient as to pruritus, rashes, oral ulcers, metallic taste, GI disturbance. The blood was checked for a drop in WBC, Hb, platelet count, BUN, creatinine or eosinophil elevation; and urine for proteinuria. Efficacy was evaluated by an 86 Joint Count Index scoring for joint tenderness and swelling: AM stiffness; the Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (MHAQII) by T. Pincus and an ESR.

More Good News About Colloidal Silver

2007-02-13T09:26:00.000-08:00

RENO, NV (Mineweb.com) --New research into silver’s medical and antibacterial properties may mean good news for silver miners, who are hoping for yet another consumer application for their product.

While silver’s use as a purifier has been known for thousands of years, research focusing on the ability of silver to destroy the pathogens that cause illness, disease, and epidemics is heating up.

In a presentation to the China International Silver Conference, Dr, John Aspley, Executive Director of the Immunogenic Research Foundation (IMREF), explained that silver compounds have been used as medicine since the late 1800s, and also have been used as a treatment against infections internationally.

Meanwhile, silver has been viewed as a natural mineral important to health maintenance in the same class as vitamins containing zinc, chromium, copper, iron and magnesium.

Aspley estimated that over 700 types of pathogens have been documented to succumb to silver-based drugs. There are three distinct silver-based drugs, silver slats, silver proteins, and colloidal silver and silver hydrosol.

Biocides are chemicals capable of killing living organisms, and are more commonly known as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, germicides and so on. Silver basically disables the food source required by bacteria, viruses, yeasts, and fungi to survive and reproduce.

Oligodynamic silver refers to the power of extremely small concentration of metal ions, such as silver, to exert potent biocidal actions. While it is non-toxic to people and animals, oligodynamic silver is lethal to viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and even cancer cells, according to Aspley. Basically, silver ions destroy bacteria, viruses and other germs by disrupting a germ’s membrane proteins, deactivating bacterial enzymes, and preventing bacteria from replicating.

Among the bacteria which find silver lethal are salmonella, staph infections, streptococcus, and typhoid. The viruses which can’t tolerate silver include Herpes, Influenza, and even the common cold. Uniform Picoscalar Oligodynamic Silver Hydrosol (UOPSH) can attack and kill HIV/AIDs because of the ability for the silver particles to bind to the glycoprotein knobs, which supply the AIDs virus with protein.

The non-profit, Washington State-based Immunogenic Research Foundation is interested in clinical research about silver’s potential to combat global epidemics and pandemics including cancer, hepatitis C, HIV, Lymes Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and drug-resistant super-germs.

In a paper published last month in the international scientific journal Current Science, a team of scientists lauded the properties of Silver-Water Dispersion solution as an effective antibiotic. Their study tested 19 different antibiotics against seven pathogens, including resistant superbugs.

A pathogen is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host. We encounter pathogens as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa in the form of slime or molds.

While antibiotics may cause illness to patients to temporarily disappear, the antibiotics may also leave behind a host of resistant organisms in the patient’s system. These may reappear at a later date, harming the patient’s immune system.

The scientists then added American Biotech Labs (ABL) silver to the antibiotics. ABL is 23% owned by Clifton Mining Company. Their research found that combining antibiotics with Silver-Water Dispersion solution cleared out resistant organisms.

In a recent news release, Keith Moeller, an ABL managing director, said, “What this means is that we may have discovered a way to make existing antibiotics more effective. ...By adding our silver to antibiotics we may be able to overcome antibiotic resistance. This could increase the life span and efficacy of individual antibiotics and positively impact millions of people.”

On Tuesday, ABL announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued an landmark silver producer and use patent to American Silver, the parent company of ABL. Previous patents issued to ABL governed the technology used in the production of its nano-particle silver. The new patent will provide additional protection for a series of productions the company hopes to introduce in the first quarter of 2007, including an animal wound care product and a cosmetic that helps promote natural healing.

CHINESE RESEARCH
Beijing’s Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of CAS Beijing ChamGo Nano-Tech is among China’s leading companies in research and application of antimicrobial materials and antimicrobial agents.

In a presentation to the China International Silver Conference, Li Bizhong said the potential market and applications for silver antimicrobial agents are significant. He noted that silver-containing antimicrobial agents have been widely used in ceramics for bathrooms, washstands, tableware, floors and walls. Silver antimicrobial agents also have potential applications in foods and food preservation, personal care products, telecommunications, building materials, office supplies, toys, medicine and health-related items, and even musical instruments and cigarette filters.

Silver Colloids - Colloidal Silver

2007-02-13T09:13:00.000-08:00

Colloidal silver is the result of an electromagnetic process that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver into a liquid, such as water. These microscopic particles can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body. Colloidal silver is pure silver divided so finely that fewer than 15 atoms of it cluster together in a particle.The FDA considers it a dietary supplement and does not restrict its sale in any way as long as it is properly manufactured. Colloidal silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme that all one-celled bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms use for their oxygen metabolism.In short, the bad guys suffocate. Colloidal silver is nontoxic, making it safe for children and adults, as well as pets.

Anything bigger than one cell seems to like it. Ayurvedic, Chinese and homeopathic practitioners use silver regularly. In ancient Greece and Rome, people used silver containers to keep liquids fresh. Throughout history, royal families have eaten from silver plates and cups, with silver utensils, and they've stored food in silver containers. In 1919, Alfred Searle, founder of the pharmaceutical conglomerate wrote that "applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishingly successful results. For internal administration, orally or hypodermically it has the advantage of being rapidly fatal to parasites without toxic action on its host. It is quite stable. It protects rabbits from10 times the lethal dose of tetanus or diphtheria toxin." Mainstream physicians used colloidal silver extensively as an antibiotic treatment up to 1939.But back then it cost a lot to produce highly effective colloidal silver. The pharmaceutical industry wanted drugs that were cheaper and patentable.

As a result, colloidal silver fell out of favor. But in the 1970s, doctors at Washington University in St. Louis searching for effective treatments for burn victims stumbled upon colloidal silver after trying many other medicines, and it became valued once again. In 1988 a bio-medical research team at UCLA's School of Medicine showed that destructive bacteria, virus and fungus organisms died within minutes of contact with silver.The EPA approves colloidal silver water filters. NASA uses a silver water purification system for the space shuttle, as do the Soviets.Japanese firms remove cyanide and nitric oxide from the air with silver. Because it doesn't sting the eyes, it often replaces chlorine in swimming pools. British Airways, Swissair, Scandinavian Airlines, Lufthansa, Olympic, Air France, Canadian Pacific Airlines, AlItalia, KLM, Japan Airlines and Pan Am use silver water filters to curtail waterborne diseases.

Because no known pathogenic organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element metallic silver, colloidal silver is effective against more than 650 different pathogens, whereas a broad-spectrum antibiotic kills perhaps a half dozen different disease organisms.It does this by attaching itself to the cell membrane of a bacterium, which disables its oxygen-metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung. Because it can no longer breathe, within a few minutes the pathogen suffocates and dies and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Many strains of pathogenic microbes, viruses, fungi, bacteria or any other single-celled pathogen resistant to other antibiotics are killed on contact by colloidal silver, and are unable to mutate. However, silver is virtually non-toxic and does not harm tissue-cell enzymes and friendly bacteria. Unlike antibiotics, colloidal silver does not weaken the body's immune system. In fact, it is said to give the body a second immune system, creating a shield against disease of all kinds. Physicians use silver compounds in seventy percent of all the burn centers in the United States. All pathogenic organisms that have been tested were sensitive to the electrically generated silver ion, including some that were resistant of all known antibiotics. In no case has any undesirable side effects of the silver treatment been apparent. Silver doesn't interact with any other medications. It doesn't upset the stomach, and, in fact, is a digestion aid. It does not sting in the eyes.

Medical journal reports and documented studies spanning the past 100 years indicateno known side effects from oral or I.V. administration of colloidal silver in animal or human testing.Silver stimulates bone-forming cells into growing new bone where it had not healed for long periods of time. Silver profoundly stimulates healing of skin and other soft tissues in a way unlike any known natural process.An average adult dose might be anywhere from a tablespoon per day to a sixteen-ounce glass, or more, since no toxic dose is known. When you apply current to silver in solution, metallic silver will always break off no larger than 1.26 angstroms or about 1/10,000 of a micron (0.0001 microns). This is misleading, however, because no colloid consists of individual silver ions or atoms of silver. Single atoms would by definition be dissolved. After the silver breaks off at 1.26 angstroms, atoms of silver aggregate into clusters that form new particles. The smallest aggregate of clusters creates a silver particle approximately 0.001 microns, or ten times larger than the smallest atom. These particles create colloidal silver that appears clear. Over time, as more electric current is applied, silver particles will aggregate into larger and larger particles much like in a silver plating process.

For systems with particles with diameters less than one-twentieth the wavelength of light, the light scattered from a polychromatic beam is predominantly blue in color and is polarized to a degree that depends on the angle between the observer and the incident beam. The blue color of tobacco smoke is an example of Tyndall blue. As particles are increased in size, the blue color of scattered light disappears and the scattered radiation appears white. The end result is that each particle size will interact with light at a specific wavelength, creating a variety of colored colloidal solutions. The Tyndall Effect is the visible scattering of light along the path of a beam of light as it passes through a system containing discontinuities. The luminous path of a beam of light is called a Tyndall Cone. Any true colloid of silver, or any other metal, will produce a Tyndall Cone once a narrow beam of light pierces the medium. A laser pointer works best. As the light passes through the colloid, each particle of silver refracts the light across other silver particles. The colloid becomes a sea of submicroscopic mirror balls, creating a glowing tunnel of light much wider than the original beam. Therefore, even clear colloidal silver can be given a visual test that will prove the incredibly tiny particles are there. Because clear colloids contain the smallest silver particles, the Tyndall cone will be faint, but still visible to the unaided eye.
_
Are More PPM Really Better?
PPM of colloidal silver needs to be understood in its entirety. PPM means parts per million. By definition 1 PPM is 1 milligram of silver deposited in 1 liter of water (1,000 ml). If one were to ingest that 1 mg. piece of silver, it would not do much good. If you were to divide that 1 mg. into 1,000,000 particles of silver, it would then have much more efficacy because it takes one particle of silver to disable 1 pathogen. The silver is now 1,000,000 times better than 1 piece of silver even though by definition it is still only 1 PPM. If one were to further divide the 1 mg piece of silver into 100,000,000 particles, it would be very beneficial indeed. And so as the silver is more finely divided the PPM by definition remains the same.
_
So, what really counts is not how many PPM the silver is but how many particles the silver has been divided into.That is why it isn't necessary to have high PPM but it is important to divide the silver as finely as possible. It is not better to try to take high PPM colloidal silver but to take colloidal silver that is properly made. If you think more silver is necessary, just take more of better made, low PPM colloidal silver and you will be further ahead than if you took poorly made, high PPM colloidal silver.
_
If the colloidal silver is properly made it will be crystal clear. This is because the particles are too small to reflect any light. If it shows any color, the particles are too large. The first color seen is yellow. As the particle size increases other colors such as red, green, blue, brown or black may be seen. Any color seen will indicate CS that is not very good.
_
Constant Voltage vs. Constant Current Generators

Constant voltage generators operate as follows.
When an electrical source of voltage that is fixed in value such as 27 or 36 volts (the voltage supplied by 3 or 4 - 9 volt batteries in series connection) is used to generate colloidal silver, the voltage is connected to the silver electrodes which are in the water. A small amount of current then begins to flow. At this point the current is generally about one quarter of one milliampere (a milliampere is a measure of current flow). This allows some of the silver ions to be released from one electrode while hydrogen gas is formed and released from the other electrode. As the silver is released into the water, the conductivity of the water increases; allowing more current to flow. This in turn allows more silver ions to be sintered off the electrode. But what happens very quickly is this:
_
The increased current flow allows the metal to be deposited into the water at a faster and faster rate as the conductivity of the water is increased by more silver being released. This is a vicious cycle because in a very few minutes the current passes the point where small colloidal particles are generated. Particle size is determined by many factors; one of them being current flow or more properly current density. Once the flow exceeds this critical point, you must stop the process or risk producing large particles.These particles are NOT colloidal. They will sink to the bottom of the liquid and will generally not stay in suspension. Constant voltage generators cannot be left on for long without producing large particles.
_
If you ingest larger particles or silver salts in liquid such as silver nitrate you take the chance of acquiring a condition know as argyria. On the other hand, colloidal silver particles are so small they do not cause this condition. They are continually being excreted in your bodily waste. There has never been a case in which argyria has been attributed to ingestion of colloidal silver.
_
Constant Current Generators work as follows:
The voltage source may be the same or higher as constant voltage generators at the beginning of the operation but the similarity between constant voltage and constant current generators diverges rapidly. As the current flow begins to increase with increased water conductivity, the "constant current" regulator begins to reduce the voltage in order to keep the current at the desired amount of flow. With the voltage being reduced in order to keep the current constant, the silver particle size remains uniform. As the water becomes very conductive, the voltage may be reduced to as little as 5 or 6 volts to maintain the desired current flow. With this type circuit, one may leave the generator connected to the electrodes and not worry that "runaway" will occur. You may leave the generator on until the strength of silver in parts per million is reached and be assured the particle sizes are uniform and colloidal. This is the secret of repeatable production of colloidal silver.
_
Constant current equals constant size particles. Any concentrations higher than 50 ppm require the additions of stabilizers in order to prevent fallout. However, colloidal silver made over 15 PPM will usually agglomerate so it is recommended that you do not make it over that strength. An automatic generator with a stirring motor can make up to 20 PPM without agglomeration.

If the particles are as small as can be made and also colloidal, the water will be clear and will also show the Tyndall effect. If they are larger, the water color will shift toward yellow because of agglomeration. Still larger particles appear red; then green and the blue ones are the largest. The proper color for colloidal silver water is clear. If it is clear and has a weak Tyndall effect, the particle size is as small as can be made. That is the best way to know you have colloidal silver water. Make it yourself and then you will know and see what we mean! The proof is in the clear color and the Tyndall effect. Of course you can also test it using a meter to determine the total PPM.
_
With an automatic generator, you just set the dial to the PPM (parts per million) desired and wait until the unit shuts off and you will have the best colloidal silver that can possibly be made. It will always be crystal clear and have a weak Tyndall effect.
_
With a constant current generator, you can leave the unit on as long as you want (within limits) and the PPM of the silver continues to increase without any increase in silver particle size. You can produce about 3.5 PPM per hour in a 1 pint (16 ounce) vessel. Double the time and you double the strength, etc. If you produce colloidal silver under about 10-12 PPM, it will be clear because the particle size is as small as can be produced and reflects no color. Over 12-15 PPM the CS will usually become pale yellow coloredover a 24 hour period. The reason for this time lag in color change is the particles are becoming more evenly dispersed in the solution and at the same time some of them are agglomerating. There would be less agglomeration if the water had been stirred during production. They rearrange themselves to maintain the same distance from each other by virtue of their electrical charge. Remember, "likes" repel each other. Once the particles are completely and evenly dispersed, the color will be seen. These particles reflect yellow light while clear colloidal silver will not reflect light because the particles are so small. The yellow color comes from the fact that higher PPM colloidal silver allows some of the particles to agglomerate together to form a slightly larger particle, allowing yellow light to be reflected while absorbing all other colors. Agglomeration means some of the silver atoms are starting to share electron rings.
_
Making your colloidal silver clear will provide you with the largest amount of individual silver particles per unit measure of water. As an example, 1 milligram of silver dropped into 1 liter of water is equal to 1 part per million by definition. If you could turn that 1 milligram into 1 million individual silver particles and disperse it in the water, the PPM is still 1. However you now have many more individual pieces of silver in the water to attack microorganisms. If you could divide that 1 milligram of silver into so many pieces they barely reflected any light, then you would have the optimum amount of silver per unit measure of water. Typically those particles are about .001 to .005 microns in diameter. A micron is one millionth of a meter (or 26 millionths of an inch) so .001 microns is about 1/1000 of 1/1,000,000 of a meter.
_
Another factor in colloid production is the surface area of the electrodes. If one uses wire as the electrodes as most manufacturers do, the surface area is quite small. As an example, 14 gauge wire, which is what most units are sold with, has a surface area of approximately .8 square inches if it is submersed 4 inches in the water. Two wires will give approximately 1.6 square inches of wetted surface area.
_
If you use electrodes that are .25 inches wide and .013 inches thick, and they are submersed 4 inches, the total surface area will be 4.21 square inches. This is 2.5 times the wetted surface area of 14 gauge wires. Therefore the current density of 14 gauge wires will be 2.5 times higher than the larger electrodes. This means that the amount of silver released using the larger electrodes will be so spread out over the surface of the electrodes, it will be releasing at a slower pace. If the silver is released more slowly, the particles are smaller. They will also be more uniform in size because of the constant current regulator and stirring. The result is a more uniform, small particle size colloid.
_
If one used a constant voltage source, such as the typical box with three batteries or a machine that uses a wall transformer to provide a constant DC voltage, the silver would begin to be ripped off the wire electrodes very quickly because of the high current density which continues to increase during production. The resulting silver particles would be a non-uniform size and would be composed of small to large size particles as the current began to rise with time. The color of the water would be yellow, red, brown or muddy looking and silver sludge will begin to drop out and fall to the bottom. The particles of silver are getting too large as the current begins to run away and rise dramatically.

The Colors of Colloidal Silver

When examining the variety of bottled colloidal silver at a health food store, it becomes evident that most manufacturers favor yellow-colored silver. The very idea of silver being "yellow" is confusing for many people. Some individuals have speculated that the yellow color is the result of sulfur or iron contamination. Others say the yellow color is the result of stabilizers containing a yellow dye. The continuous change in color from yellow to blue corresponds to a change n the absorption maximum of the shorter to longer wave-lengths with a decreasing degree of dispersion. This is a general phenomenon in colloid chemistry illustrating the relation between color and degree of dispersion. It turns out that all metals have a yellow phase when they are broken down into sub-microscopic particles in water. This is because color is the result of a specific particle size--rather than the metallic content of that particle--and the spacing between the particles. Therefore, colloidal silver can produce a yellow appearance when the particles fall somewhere between .01 to .001 microns (10-100 angstroms) and are evenly dispersed. This is the result of the absorption of indigo light by the colloid, which leaves its inverse color, yellow, to be refracted. In short, color equals particle size plus dispersion. This is why yellow colloidal silver appears clear for the first few hours after its manufacture. It takes several hours for the particles to evenly disperse through the water, creating a gradual deepening of color. The density of the colloid produces the intensity of the color. From 1 to 20 ppm, the color will range from very light yellow to yellow to amber. A shift in color indicates a new silver particle agglomeration size plus dispersion.

From small to large, the spectrum reads as follows: clear, yellow, red, green and blue. While trace elements can affect conductivity and, therefore, influence agglomeration rates, color is not always a function of trace elements per se. Of all the various colloids of the spectrum, clear colloidal silver is the highest quality simply because it consists of the smallest particle size. The yellow colloidal silver may be less effective than the clear colloid because of the slightly larger silver particles. Colloids are by nature the smallest particles matter can be divided into while still retaining individual characteristics of that matter. Reducing a piece of metallic silver into a cloud of submicroscopic particles greatly extends its total surface area, and so its healing properties, while deepening its penetration into the body. The minute particles also afford ease of elimination and therefore the absence of toxicity. Upon ingesting the silver colloid, the silver particles quickly pass through the stomach lining and into the bloodstream, where they circulate for about a week before elimination. There is also evidence that the majority of silver particles are eliminated within 24 hours, though this can vary with particle size and body chemistry.

Making Clear Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver generators are available for home use. For a 12-ounce glass of distilled water at 72° F, (room temperature), approximately 30 minutes of applied current at 27 volts DC will produce 5 ppm. For a 16-ounce glass of distilled water at 72° F, approximately 45 minutes will be needed to achieve the same concentration of 5 ppm. Larger electrodes are helpful for working with larger volumes of water and for making higher concentrations.Do not add saline drops for making clear colloidal silver.

Cannabis Cooking With Marijuana

Cooking With Cannabis
**************************
Here is a video I uploaded for all you marijuana lovers out there. Click Here For The Video

Smoking anything is almost certainly not good for you. However, there is an alternative for people who don't want to smoke but still want to enjoy the effects of cannabis.

Cannabis can be added to a wide range of foods and drinks. Using it this way is called "ingestion" and perhaps explains why ex - US president Clinton managed to "try it on several occasions but never inhaled".

THC, the main psychoactive chemical found in cannabis, is soluble in non-polar liquids - bet you never knew that! What this means is that you can extract it into fats, oils and alcohol but not into water, in English, it doesn't dissolve in water but does dissolve into fats and oils ... or alcohol.

Oh and yes, we have to remind you that eating it is just as illegal as smoking it, but it is a lot less obvious and so perhaps you're less likely to get busted for possession of a cake than a hash pipe.

The important thing to know about ingesting cannabis is that it takes a while to have any effect. Nothing will happen for an hour or so, but when it does it can be far more potent than smoking the same amount. Many people say eating cannabis produces a more "trippy" effect, it can be very intense if you over do it

Don't eat cannabis without a little bit of planning, including where you are and who you're with, the so-called "site and setting".

When prohibition ends, cannabis foods will no doubt be avaiable in known doses, just like alcohol is today. Until then we have to live with this uncertainty.

Oil Factor -War on Iraq العراق

2007-01-30T19:55:00.000-08:00

The Middle-East holds 70% of the world's oil reserves while North America and Europe will run out of oil in 2010 at their current rate of ...production. Current technologies might provide alternatives to oil for energy but not to oil for plastics. In the wake of Vice-President Dick Cheney's 2001 Energy Task Force, is it a coincidence if George Bush targeted Iraq in its so called "war-on-terror", a country known to possess the second largest oil reserves in the world? Is it another coincidence if U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Central Asia are based near Central Asian oil and natural gas? Was invading Iraq and Afghanistan really meant to reduce terrorist threats against the United States or was it a ploy to guarantee that the average American can go on for a little while consuming 4 times more energy that the average European or 32 times more energy than the average African?
