In India, medical
researchers are looking at using a new innovation in nanosilver as a potential
treatment for late-stage rabies in humans, which is almost always otherwise
fatal.
But it appears researchers
having the same problem in India that we have here in the west, i.e., the
medical authorities consider silver to be such an "alternative"
(read: non-drug) treatment, they are
reluctant to approve its use, or to even approve testing it.
This holds true,
apparently, even when the person behind the silver innovation is a bona-fide
professor of biotechnology at a major university...
Hi, Steve Barwick here, for www.TheSilverEdge.com...
According to a news article
in The Times of India, Dr Anitha
Sironmani, a professor of biotechnology at Madurai Kamaraj University, has
developed a new innovation in nanosilver she believes will cure late-stage
rabies in humans – a condition that is otherwise almost 100% fatal.
Dr. Sironmani, who holds numerous patents for nano
treatments, says:
“I
have worked with the silver nano particles which have the potential to control
750 different microbes, attaching them and multi-targeting, which makes it
difficult for the microbes to develop resistance to it.
In
fact, there are studies to show that nano-targeted drugs have been able to
control the spread of AIDS.”
According to Dr Sironmani, speaking to The Times of India, the same pattern of treatment used
experimentally against AIDS can also be followed for rabies. She stated:
"The
only problem we face is we have not been able to work with the virulent virus
as it requires working under extremely sterile conditions with the deadly virus."
The Times of India
goes on to point out that treatments for early stages of rabies are available,
but not the late stage because in that final stage the virus tends to target
the brain, and it’s difficult to get antiviral medication to cross the
blood-brain barrier.
The newspaper states:
“Both
antibodies and antigens are available for treatment of early rabies, but the
lack of accurate targeting of brain cells which are attacked by the virus is
one reason why it has not got complete success in advanced stages of the
disease.
Dr.
Sironmani says it has been proved that the specially prepared nano particles
have been found to be able to cross the brain-blood barrier which is most
important for the treatment of this disease.”
Research Request
Nixed
Last year, Dr. Sironmani applied to the regulatory officials
at the government-run Rajaji Hospital in Madurai, India, to test her nanosilver
innovation. But she was met with the
usual foot-dragging that tends to typify nanosilver research attempts in humans,
even here in the west.
According to Dr. Sironmani:
"Persons who end
up in the rabies cells of GRH and start developing canine behaviors and
advanced hydrophobia almost certainly die, so injecting them with this
specialized nanoformulation and trying out the success rate is going to be a
step towards a cure. I hope the government gives my invention the nod at the
earliest," she added.
Unfortunately, in January, 2014, her request was officially
turned down by the Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC) of the
government-run hospital, largely on the basis that it would not be “ethical” to
use the new nanosilver formulation to treat a patient with late-stage rabies,
since that person would not be able to give informed consent for the
treatment.
So, as a result, the rabies patients are left to die. And it may never be known whether or not Dr.
Sironmani’s innovative nanosilver treatment might work.
Serious Disease
According to Dr. Charles Rupprecht, chief of the rabies
section at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although the United
States has only a few cases of human rabies each year, someone in the world
dies of rabies every 15 minutes on
average.
The virus behind rabies, which attacks the brain and the
nervous system, is considered untreatable once the appearance of symptoms takes
place, which include fever, headache, anxiety, and loss of consciousness.
“Only five people in the world are known to have survived
rabies after the onset of symptoms,” says Dr. Rupprecht. But they had received standard treatment -- a
series of rabies vaccine shots -- before
experiencing symptoms.
You’d think a potential new cure for such a virulent and
deadly disease taking thousands of lives per year worldwide would merit more
attention from the medical authorities.
Perhaps Dr. Sironmani will be able to conduct animal studies first, in
order to help convince her detractors of the validity and effectiveness of her proposed
treatment.
Would Silver Actually
Work Against Rabies?
According to Chinese medical lore, families were always
advised to have a something made of silver in their home, in case a rabid dog
bit a family member or visitor. It was
said that merely rubbing the silver over the wound immediately after a bite would
help prevent the rabies infection from taking place.
Of course, folklore does not constitute medical
evidence. And neither do
testimonials. They’re simply indicators
that there might be a grain of truth to the proposition.
With that in mind, the following testimonial from well-known
natural health journalist Tony M. Isaacs, whose dog was bitten by a rabid
skunk, seems quite interesting. Last
year, Tony stated in a post on the Colloidal
Silver Secrets Community on Facebook:
“Colloidal
silver is the bomb for pets! We put it in the drinking water of our four
rescued dogs (‘found dogs’ we call them) and our rescued cats. None of them
have ever been vaccinated. The 15 year old eldest dog still frisks around like
a puppy.
Once
we used colloidal silver - lots of colloidal silver - along with other
supplemental items when one of our dogs was attacked by a rabid skunk. The dog
is still here and doing fine. Can't say the same for the skunk, which I had to
exterminate when it came after me.”
Anecdotal accounts aside, the bottom line is that without
the research proposed by India’s Professor Sironmani, we may never know whether
or not silver is truly effective against the rabies virus.
We know from clinical lab research that colloidal silver and
other forms of antimicrobial silver have been demonstrated to be effective
against numerous infectious viruses. You
can learn more about that at the Colloidal Silver Kills
Viruses website.
And, of course, we know colloidal silver has been
demonstrated to be astonishingly effective against disease-causing bacteria,
including many of the antibiotic-resistant superbugs that have medical
authorities so worried. See Colloidal
Silver versus the Superbugs and Does Colloidal Silver
Really Kill MRSA? to learn more.
Finally, we also know that colloidal silver has been
demonstrated to be effective against a variety of disease-causing fungal
pathogens that plague mankind, including Candida
albicans and others. See Colloidal
Silver Beats Fungal Infections Fast for additional information.
So it would come as no surprise to learn that colloidal
silver, or perhaps a specially prepared nanosilver solution such as the one
India’s Dr. Sironmani is proposing, would be effective against the rabies
virus.
Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until the medical
authorities relent, and allow the testing to take place, before we’ll ever know
for sure, one way or the other.
