According to news reports coming out of Sierra
Leone, West Africa, there’s been a very surprising turn of events in regards to
the Ebola crisis.
Apparently, at least several shipments of nanosilver
-- colloidal silver composed of very small particles of silver suspended in
water -- appear to have made it into West African countries where Ebola was
raging.
And in spite of opposition to the use of
colloidal silver by medical bureaucrats in the World Health Organization (WHO),
the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), the silver actually appears to working against the virus!
Not only that, but Sierra Leone’s Minister
of Presidential and Public Affairs – a trained chemist named Alpha Kanu – has announced
that 10 ppm nanosilver has now been proclaimed to be an official approved Ebola
treatment in that nation.
This might explain why there’s been so
little news coverage on Ebola here in the U.S. over the past few weeks. The agenda of the medical bureaucrats in WHO,
the CDC and the FDA has been to fast-track an expensive new Ebola vaccine into production,
for use on people in early 2015. Big
Pharma was to make billions of dollars on the vaccine.
But with as many as 500 Ebola sufferers
reportedly now getting better in Sierra Leone, West Africa after trying
nanosilver the plans of Big Pharma and the medical bureaucrats might just end
up being derailed.
Of course, we still don’t know if the news
coming out of West Africa is definitive.
But here’s what we know so far, based on newspaper reports from Sierra
Leone…
Hi, Steve Barwick
here, for The Silver Edge…
It’s been widely reported
for several months now that shipments of nanosilver destined for Ebola-stricken
West African nations had been either detained or turned back by medical
bureaucrats from WHO and the FDA.
These same agencies,
in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control, have also been conducting
an unprecedented “scorched earth” campaign in the world news media, vilifying
and ridiculing anyone – including yours truly -- who advocated the use of
colloidal silver for Ebola in West Africa.
But during the
first week of November, 2014, the Standard
Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone, West Africa, announced that some of
the colloidal silver finally made it through the roadblocks put up by the
international medical bureaucrats.
Colloidal Silver Is Working!
What’s more,
according to the news reports, which I’ll detail for you below, the silver is apparently
now being used to successfully treat Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and
possibly three other West African nations as well.
According to
strictly preliminary reports from the region, not only has the silver treatment
been shown to be working (i.e., with as many as 500 Ebola patients getting
better), but the government of Sierra Leone was apparently so impressed with
the results they actually approved nanosilver as an official Ebola treatment!
According to a news
release on PRWeb:
Ebola-torn Sierra Leone announced today that
it has approved nutrient Nano Silver 10 PPM as an Ebola therapy based on
the positive results seen when it defied strong international pressure,
testing nutrient Nano Silver 10 PPM in Ebola patients over the past three
weeks.
The upshot of the
news report is that nanosilver has been officially approved as a therapy
against the deadly Ebola virus by Honourable Alpha Kanu, Sierra
Leone’s Minister of Presidential and Public Affairs.
Apparently, the
government of Sierra Leone felt they had to take the dramatic step of
officially approving nanosilver as an Ebola treatment in order to circumvent
further interference from medical bureaucrats in the World Health Organization
(WHO), the U.S. FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) who were
doing everything in their power to block shipments of nanosilver from getting into
West African nations, and to publicly discredit its usage.
According to Sierra
Leone’s Minister of Information, Alpha Kanu:
"If you say that this illness does not
get better, then that's a lie because 500 people have gotten
better.....Sheikh Massally sent the nutrient Nano Silver. This works;
people are getting better."
Two of Sierra
Leone’s leading newspapers, The Exclusive,
and The Standard Times Press,
confirmed the Minister’s announcement today.
An actual transcript of Information Minister Kanu’s speech regarding the
nanosilver breakthrough is reproduced directly below:
“A government
official in Sierra Leone says that some people are recovering from Ebola
because of a new treatment. The Minister
of Information Alpha Kanu recently wrote in a letter that “this works; people
are getting better.”
But efforts to get
this information and the treatment option itself to people have met with great
opposition on the part of the United States FDA and others.
The option that has Kanu’s enthusiastic
approval is a nutrient that is not manufactured by a big-name pharmaceutical
company. It is called Nano Silver…But it
has not been easy to get the product to the countries that need it most…
…a shipment of the product was shipped to
Sierra Leone on August 20. However, it didn’t arrive until “September 28, five
weeks later while the disease spread and people suffered and died unnecessarily
because international forces opposed the simple clinical demonstration of the
nutrient.
Just before the shipment of nanosilver
finally reached Sierra Leone, Minister Kanu reportedly made it clear that his
government did not need FDA approval to offer it as a therapy option,
according to Star Africa.
The Honorable Alpha Kanu is a trained
chemist, who believes that the people who are suffering in his country have the
right to use any and all treatment options that are available to them.
It is ‘a matter of choice,’ he believes,
resting ‘on the patients or their families, as to whether to administer it as
treatment for Ebola.’ The Information
Minister reportedly worked with President Ernest Bai Koroma to get the nutrient
into Sierra Leone.
So it appears the president
of Sierra Leone – Ernest Bai Koroma – was also involved in the tussle with the
international medical bureaucrats, and worked to make sure his Ebola-stricken countrymen
were able to try the nanosilver product in spite of the intense pressure
against it.
And what kind of
results are they experiencing? Again,
according to the initial report from The
Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone:
According to Kanu, a “philanthropic” Sierra
Leonean who is based in Atlanta, Georgia, Imam Sheikh Massally has been
credited with sending a shipment of the silver product to be tried for Ebola
patients.
‘He sent the nutrient Nano Silver – this
works; people are getting better. The supply is enough for 300 people and we
are going to bring some more.’”
Since that time,
news reports have stated that as many as 500 Ebola victims in Sierra Leone appear
to be getting better after having been given the nanosilver.
The Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra Leone goes on to
complain that the FDA’s insistence on maintaining a medical monopoly for Big
Pharma makes no sense in the face of such a devastating disease. They state:
“… According to the FDA’s website,
nutritional supplements and other natural products cannot claim to “diagnose,
treat, cure or prevent any disease.”
Those products must post a disclaimer
declaring such, because according to the American government, “only a drug can
legally make such a claim.”
No matter how effective a natural substance
may be, there is, in effect, a gag order on any and all companies marketing
them, preventing them from saying so… The gag orders regarding non-drug options
for Ebola are simply the latest in a long string of actions aimed at
maintaining the monopoly.
Questions must be asked. Why is the FDA so intimidated by the free
sharing of information about a substance that could work? What harm is there in people choosing to take
the product, even in conjunction with more traditional therapies?
If there is a serious crisis threatening a
large part of the human population, why does it matter who gets the credit? Would not true leaders be more interested in
solving the problem and saving lives than in political agendas or lining the
pocketbooks of certain interests?”
Of course, the Standard Times Press newspaper of Sierra
Leone, West Africa, is asking very legitimate questions: Why exactly is silver being suppressed? And who is the beneficiary of that
suppression?
What’s more, according to Dr. Rima Laibow, who was apparently instrumental in helping get the nanosilver to West Africa, there’s even more good news. She states:
What’s more, according to Dr. Rima Laibow, who was apparently instrumental in helping get the nanosilver to West Africa, there’s even more good news. She states:
“High level, reliable sources tell us from at
least four countries in Africa that Ebola victims appear to be recovering from
this deadly infection coincident with them receiving the remarkable nutrient,
Nano Silver 10 PPM.
This is very hopeful news…Not one country,
but several, are reporting these results. Nano Silver 10 PPM is helping people
faced with the health disaster move from illness to health.”
Whether this is
true, or not, I have no idea. But I’ll
certainly keep my eyes open for more news like this coming out of that region
of the world.
What I’d Do in the
Event of Ebola
Exposure
People have written
to ask me, “How much colloidal silver would you have to take in order to
protect yourself from an Ebola infection?”
And of course, the
answer is, there’s no way to know for sure.
As I’ve mentioned previously,
the clinical research conducted by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency of the
U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) into the use of nanosilver against Ebola and related
hemorrhagic fever viruses was strictly in vitro (i.e., laboratory
test tube) research.
And while it clearly demonstrated
that very small particles of antimicrobial silver at surprisingly low
concentrations could stop the Ebola virus in infected cells from replicating
and spreading, it in no way gives us so much as a clue as to how much colloidal
silver a living human being would have to take in order to
achieve the same results.
And of course, the
preliminary news reports out of Sierra Leone, West Africa have not mentioned
exactly how much nanosilver is being given to Ebola patients, or what method of
administration is being used.
They’re only reporting
that nanosilver is indeed being used, and that hundreds of Ebola victims are apparently
getting better.
But if the reports
coming out of Sierra Leone prove to be true, and if colloidal silver of
very small particle size does indeed
continue to prove to be effective, the existing research
indicates that preventing Ebola infection would depend upon getting the right
dose of very small silver particles into your body, early enough in the
infective process to stop viral replication.
Indeed, it appears
that daily prophylactic dosing with colloidal silver before exposure
to the Ebola virus would appear to provide better protection than dosing after exposure.
So for me, at present I’m remaining
on my usual one-ounce per day adult dosage of 10 ppm micro-particle colloidal
silver, in order to keep some colloidal silver circulating in my body at all
times.
This, based on the idea reported in
the U.S. Department of Defense-related test tube study
demonstrating that Ebola was unable to replicate in cells that were
pre-innoculated with silver.
What’s more, if I suspect I’ve been
exposed to an Ebola-infected individual, my plan at present would be to quadruple my normal adult daily oral
intake of colloidal silver from one ounce per day to as many as four ounces per
day, for a total of up to 21 days, which is said to be the maximum incubation
period for Ebola.
In other words, if I suspect I
might have been exposed to the virus, I plan on taking up to four times my normal daily dosage of
colloidal silver for as long as three weeks.
(A person can determine their own
normal adult daily dosage of colloidal silver, based on their body weight and
the ppm of the colloidal silver product they’re using, by using the simple
calculation spelled out in the Colloidal Silver Safe
Dosage Report, which is FREE by email at the link in this sentence.)
Now, I have no clinical data whatsoever demonstrating that
taking four times one’s normal daily colloidal silver dosage would be the
correct dosage to take if one suspected exposure to Ebola.
No one knows if that would work, because no one has ever had
to try it before. But those are my
personal plans, for myself, in the event of suspected Ebola exposure.
Nebulizing Colloidal
Silver
Additionally, and again, speaking only for myself, if I were
to suspect I’d been exposed to an Ebola-infected individual, I’d also
immediately begin using colloidal silver through a medical nebulizer for
several days.
Nebulizers are used to atomize liquid medications and other
substances, so that they can be inhaled into the lungs. Substances inhaled into the lungs in an
atomized state are very rapidly sent straight into the blood stream, cells and
tissues of the body.
Medical nebulizers can usually be found on eBay.com.
And the pros and cons of nebulizing colloidal silver are
discussed thoroughly in my in-depth article, Using
Colloidal Silver With a Nebulizer, which also has an accompanying video
demonstration of nebilizing colloidal silver.
My thought at present, strictly
for myself, would be to nebulize some 10 ppm colloidal silver into my lungs
for five or six minutes, as many as four times per day, upon suspected initial
exposure to an Ebola-infected individual.
I might do that for three or four days in a row, in addition
to taking the larger-than-usual oral daily doses of colloidal silver discussed
above.
Then, after three or four days, I’d likely stop using
nebulized colloidal silver altogether, and continue for the remainder of the maximum
21 day incubation period with my larger-than-usual oral daily doses only.
During this time I’d also drink plenty of fresh, pure water daily, in order to flush any excess silver from my body in order to help prevent permanent accumulation in the tissues.
During this time I’d also drink plenty of fresh, pure water daily, in order to flush any excess silver from my body in order to help prevent permanent accumulation in the tissues.
I’ll probably also take specific antioxidant nutrients known
to help the body effectively process, utilize and eliminate silver, such as
vitamin E (i.e., 400 IU daily of mixed tocepherols and tocotrienals, Life
Extension brand), selenium (i.e., 100 mcg. to 200 mcg., probably three times
per week) and N-acetyl-cysteine (400-500 mg. probably three times per
week).
These nutrients are recommended by experts such as Dr.
Jonathan Wright, M.D., and are said to be taken to help the body process higher
levels of silver more effectively and efficiently, and to help minimize the
possibility of toxicity issues.
As Dr. Wright has stated in the past:
"Silver belongs to the family
of metals that also includes copper and gold (both of which can also have
numerous health benefits when they're used properly). One of the primary
concerns people tend to have about using these metals is the risk that they'll
accumulate in the body and lead to heavy metal toxicity. But if you have plenty
of antioxidants in your diet, such as selenium, vitamin E, and amino acids like
N-acetyl cysteine, you're safe from any harmful effects from this family of
metals. Germs, however, are not."
-- Dr. Jonathan Wright, MD
Pros and Cons
There are pros and cons to colloidal silver usage, and there
are no guarantees of efficacy or of complete and absolute safety.
Everyone’s biologically different (i.e., “biological
individuality”) and so there are no one-size-fits-all solutions.
So the use of colloidal silver for serious situations like Ebola
has to be weighed carefully against other factors, including risk-reward questions
such as “Are the remote but possible risks of side effects from taking
larger-than-usual amounts of colloidal silver over a three week time period
worth the potential protective benefits?”
On risk-reward questions like that, each person has to do
their own research and make up their own minds, preferably in conjunction with
a good, experienced natural health doctor.
Finally, I also very strongly
recommend that anyone who’s considering using colloidal silver supplementation
for a serious situation such as a suspected Ebola infection always keep their
primary care doctor or a good, local naturopath fully in the loop.
A good doctor can help establish a health baseline at the
outset of any intensive nutrient supplementation plan, and help a person decide
whether or not other treatment options should be considered.
Along the way, a good doctor can also help you determine
whether or not the supplementation plan is actually working as desired, for the
specific purpose intended, and whether or not adjustments need to be made.
Extraordinary
Measures
Keep in mind that
my personal plans for Ebola, as spelled out above, would constitute extraordinary
measures. And there’s no definitive clinical
evidence it would even work.
But considering the
much-touted 90% death rate for Ebola, I’d certainly take the chance, personally,
particularly considering the good news about colloidal silver coming out of
Ebola-stricken West Africa.
Also, please keep in
mind that those are purely layman’s speculations on my part in terms of what
might work. I'm not a doctor. I’m a natural
health journalist. And I’m just
reporting. I'm not
"prescribing" for anyone else.
A journalist should not
be your “go to” guy in terms of deciding how to deal with a potentially serious
health situation such as Ebola
The best thing
anyone can do in the case of a suspected exposure to Ebola is to check with
their own experienced natural health care doctor or primary care doctor who
knows their health profile intimately, and ask for their advice and guidance.
The Bottom Line and Personal Preparation
The bottom line is
this: This is still America, and you and
I still have a right to make the most informed decision possible on vital,
potentially life-and-death health matters like this regardless of what the
health and medical authorities would prefer.
I’m certainly not
taking an “Ebola vaccine” they’ve admittedly rushed into production with
adequate testing.
While the surprising
turn of events coming out of West Africa is quite interesting, there’s still a lot that needs to be revealed in terms
of accurate dosages of colloidal silver for maximum effectiveness against
Ebola. So I’ll continue to report on
this vital news story as more information becomes available.
Until then, personal
preparation would appear to be the most
important key.
So if you’re new to
colloidal silver usage, a good first step would be learning how to make your
own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for less than 36 cents a quart.
After all, the colloidal
silver being sold in health food stores is exorbitantly expensive, costing as
much as $20 to $30 for a tiny four-ounce bottle, which wouldn’t last but a
couple of days at most for a single
adult, during a prolonged health crisis.
But being able to
make a full quart at a time of high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver – quickly
and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for less than 36 cents a quart -- gives you the peace of mind of
knowing you’ll have plenty of colloidal silver available whenever needed. (Learn more below.)
Indeed, when you
make your own high-quality micro-particle colloidal silver for just pennies per
batch, you can even afford to give it away free to family members, friends,
co-workers or others who might be in need.
