I recently moved to Texas from Illinois and my allergies went crazy. My main problem is mold and Houston is considered part of 'the humid south', not dry like most believe, and last year was a WET one.
The allergist had switched my RX's 3 times. The last time I was on 2 inhaled and one pill EACH night!!!!! And still couldn't breath when I layed down!!! And I was afraid of what the RX's were doing to my body in the long term.
I saw collidal silver in the health store and asked about it. I had searched for it several years ago to no avail in my small S. Illinois area so I was already interested. I bought the bottle with a nasal tip. It said you could use it along with your RX's but since I couldn't breath anyway, I thought I had nothing to lose using it by itself.

WHAT A MIRACLE!! I COULD BREATH ALL NIGHT!!

So I am off the meds and happy. You think I should tell my allergist?? HA!! LOL

I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Sorry to say that some people who I have told don't go for the 'natural' cure. I guess they are more into poisoning their bodies.

And I can't wait to NOT get colds and flus because I am using CS!! Wish I had had CS when I was doing elder care so that I wouldn't have been exposing my clients to anything catching!!

I saw your company is in Texas. Just want to say 'Howdy' !!

Freebeans, I would suggest that you also try using the colloidal silver with a nasal mist sprayer. You can find them at http://utopiasilver.com/products/accessories/.

It may also be helpful to occasionally clear and flush your sinuses to break up impacted materials with this simple protocol.

With a towel over your head, run hot water through a basin/sink allowing steam to rise. Inhale this steam through your nose, but be careful not to get it too hot. Do this for 5-15 minutes or until you feel your sinuses are reasonably cleared.

Mix about � cup of distilled water very lightly with Himalayan or Sea Salt and flush it through your nose using an eyedropper or small measuring spoon. http://utopiasilver.com/products/accessories/
Last, using the eyedropper or mist sprayer flush your sinuses with colloidal silver.

You may have to repeat this process several times, but wait several hours in between.

The Four Horsemen of the Health Apocalypse

First in a New Series

A dark plague has crept across the land, operating largely in shadow for generations and set upon us by an evil master whose footsteps have fouled the earth for as long as man has walked upon it. Led by four evil horsemen who have been corrupted and enslaved by the master, the plague has cast its shadowy tentacles from sea to sea through towns and cities large and small, sparing no one. Almost no location has proven remote enough to escape its reach and it has visited death, illness and suffering on young and old alike.

The plague is the plague of Bad Health. Its master is Greed. And the Four Horsemen perverted into serving greed and spreading the plague are our Food, our Medicine, our Industry and our Government. The effects of this evil plague can be measured in terms of the dollars and the lives it cruelly affects - billions of dollars annually in ill gained profit at the expense of deaths that run into the hundreds of thousand and suffering that affects millions.

Throughout history, men have existed whose greed and lust for wealth and power has driven them to put their own selfish interests above those of humanity itself. Such greed has been behind most of the evils in the history or mankind and caused untold human suffering. Today the very health of modern man itself is under attack by the greedy elite who willingly trade profits for the ability of their fellow men and women to enjoy good health and live long enjoyable lives.

Through a process that began in the late 1800's, those who place personal gain and wealth above health and humanity have corrupted the four most important cornerstones that should be our shining benefactors and guarantors of providing mankind with good, nutritious food to drink, air to breath and water to drink: our food supply, our medicines, our industry, and our government. Today, instead of marshalling their efforts to benefit humanity, these cornerstones we depend on have been corrupted to benefit and elite few, turning them instead into just the opposite of what they should be - darkly corrupted purveyors of illness which rob us of our health and our wealth, take years off our life spans, and force us into a lifetime of managed illness and poor nutrition. If allowed to continue, the downward spiral in health may ultimately threaten the ability of mankind to even continue as a species.

Here then are the four crumbling cornerstones of health and a brief overview of how greed has corrupted them:

Food

Our soils have been depleted, our food crops have been genetically engineered to produce more bulk with less nutrition and to withstand more pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers that ensure higher yields at the cost of multitudes of health problems for those who consume them. Furthermore, the food on our grocer�s shelves has had the nutrition processed out, with harmful additives processed in to enhance shelf life, color, taste and texture, with the same result. The advent of large scale industrial farms favored with government subsidies has changed the emphasis from good nutrition coming from a local human face to good production and poor, contaminated nutrition from faceless industries. Thanks to over-farming and the advent of chemical fertilizers, our soils are rapidly being stripped of valuable minerals, including trace minerals. Only the three primary minerals plants need to grow are being replaced - from artificial chemical fertilizers, but not the 60 or more they need to have optimum nutrition.

Medicine

For 6000 years, mankind used nature as the primary means of preventing and controlling illness. In the mid 1800's, there were as many naturopathic and homeopathic practitioners and medical schools as there were modern "germ theory" doctors and universities. Then the Rockefellers and Carnegies teamed up with the American Medical Society to make germ theory medicine the ONLY acceptable form of medicine solely in order to increase their profits and suppress competition. Since that time we have seen homeopathic and naturopathic methods not only suppressed, but horrifically persecuted. Such actions continue to this very day, but nowhere in history was the abuse of power and persecution more criminally blatant than during the reign of terror and personal enrichment of Morris Fishbein, who persecuted such leading alternative giants as Royal Raymond Rife and Harry Hoxsey.

More information on the misdeeds of Morris Fishbein can be found in this informative and factual article: http://www.rense.com/general19/enemy.htm

About the same time the AMA was conspiring to eliminate competition, the world pharmaceutical giants, then located in Germany, were conspiring to replace all natural remedies and healing plants with drugs made in their labs. In the early 1900's, these companies formed the I. G. Farben cartel, with the express purpose of seizing control of the world's medical drug trade, and their plans have been successful beyond even their own wildest dreams of greed. For generations now, we have been inundated with a never ending avalanche of propaganda telling us to �ask our doctors� about the benefits of drugs while warning us away from natural alternatives that are safer, more effective and far less expensive.

For generations, our doctors have been taught at medical schools whose largest source of funding by far is the world pharmaceutical empire. They have been taught precious little about the role diet, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle and natural plants have to play in prevention and healing. Instead, they have been taught that the way to treat illness and disease is to prescribe medications - medications that just happen to be made by the same people who fund their education. As a result, safe, effective and less expensive natural healing with hundreds and even thousands of years of proven success has been chastised and made illegal and has been replaced by patentable and hugely profitable synthetics and isolates. An even darker result is the millions of lives and billions of dollars that could be saved if alternative and natural treatments were allowed for cancer, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes and a host of other conditions that mainstream "approved" medicine has been unable or unwilling to cure.

From the very first, these lab created drugs have had significant and often life-threatening side effects, and, when effective at all, have mostly managed symptoms instead of effected cures. Often, their prolonged use leads to new illnesses and more medications in a never ending cycle so that by the time a man reaches 65 years of age in the United States, he takes an average of 15 prescribed and over the counter medications daily - when it all began with one or two conditions that could have been treated naturally. When your only marketplace is the human body, it is a wonderful plan to protect and increase profits, but a horrible one for humanity.

Industry

Since the beginning of the industrial age and the coal burning plants, every year an increasing amount of literally thousands of metric tons of chemical pollutants, including carcinogens and thousands of other highly toxic chemicals and compounds such as mercury, lead, PCP, arsenic. etc., are spewed into our environment, polluting the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. While the National Institute of Health has recognized 133 chemical compounds which are, or may be, carcinogens, well over ten thousand industrial compounds have not been tested for safety either singly or in combination, and the number of new compounds introduced to the environment grows by leaps and bounds each year.

Not only have the vast majority of our industries resisted having their growing list of thousands of chemical compounds properly tested for safety, they have resisted controls on the use and emissions of the ones known to be harmful. Shamefully, it has been revealed that the medical industry that benefits financially from increased illness has often supported industry efforts to control their chemical contaminants that make us ill (see Devra Davis important new book, The Secret History of the War on Cancer). Virtually all of our industries, including the food and medical industries, have for the sake of profits corrupted the agencies entrusted with their oversight into agencies that serve their profits first and the citizens they should serve second. No one outside of industry should begrudge them making a reasonable profit; however, no one inside industry can reasonably argue that they should not make their profits while operating morally and being good neighbors who strive to protect the health and welfare of the consumers.

Government

The government should be the greatest protector of the health and well being of its citizens, but the influence and money of the greedy have corrupted it to a government of the corporation which gives mostly lip service to actually serving its citizens first and foremost. The United States of America was founded as a constitutional republic to protect and insure the unalienable rights of every citizen to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All levels of government, with the federal level having the least powers of all in most areas, were supposed to derive their powers from the consent of the governed. Thanks to the relentless pursuit of wealth and power, and the use of that wealth and power to buy votes and influence, our government has become a top down corruption that our founding fathers would surely rise up against in renewed revolt.

No greater example of this corruption of masters and priorities can be found than the FDA - United States Food and Drug Administration. Although the public widely believes that the FDA is out to protect them, what it actually does is run a protection racket for mainstream medicine, especially the world pharmaceutical empire. Who the FDA really serves and protects becomes crystal clear when you examine their actions. On the one hand, they twist the rules and impose their own definitions of what constitutes a drug to keep safe and natural competition off the market by actions such as persecuting and threatening cherry growers, and the makers and sellers of products like bitter melon, Stevia and colloidal silver, none of whom have ever caused a single death and each of which has hundreds of Pub Med and other studies vouching for their effectiveness. On the other hand, they foully delay action, hide studies and outright lie about the safety of products like Vioxx, Bextra, Alleve, Aspartame, Avandia, Fosamax, Gardasil, and a host of others which have been blamed with hundreds of thousands of deaths and illnesses in order for their big pharma and big chemical industry masters to reap billions in profits while the public suffers.

In the words of the last FDA commissioner to stand up for the safety of the citizens and resist the lobbying and pressure of Big Pharma:

"The FDA 'protects' the big drug companies and are subsequently rewarded, and using the government's police powers they attack those who threaten the big drug companies. People think that the FDA is protecting them.

It isn't.

What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day."

Dr. Herbert Ley

And thus concludes this introduction to a new series of articles by the author, ones which may someday comprise a new book. In future installments we will take an in depth look at each of the "Four Horsemen" and those who are responsible for robbing our health for the sake of their greed, the increasing rates of cancer and heart disease, the reasons for autism and other conditions which have exploded among our children, and we will examine why we spend more money by far on healthcare in the United States than anywhere else in the world, yet have seen our life expectancy drop from 14th to 42nd in the world in just two decades.

We will also examine what we as individuals and as a nation can do to take back control of our health, our bodies and the agencies that are supposed to serve us.

Until next time, live long, live healthy, live happy!

Turning the Odds for a Long, Healthy Life to Your Favor

Life is a gamble, and right now, chances are that the odds are very much stacked against you. The contamination in the air you breathe, the water you drink, and the highly processed and additive-filled foods you eat all combine to work against you. Add to that the likelihood of years of lack of proper diet and exercise, lack of proper sleep, the side-effects from taking too many medications, the failure of modern medicine to properly treat and cure disease, and perhaps even your heredity, and the odds can appear to be very long indeed. The good news is that you can turn those odds back in your favor no matter how old you are, no matter what your physical condition is, no matter what your heredity is and no matter how many years you have neglected to live a healthy life.

As anybody knows, nothing is 100%, and life is no exception. However, it is pretty easy to see that the odds are pretty strong that you will ultimately face ill health and live a shorter life than otherwise might be the case if you continue to let an unhealthy lifestyle keep stacking the deck against you. On the other hand, if you follow the advice in this simple series of articles, you can turn the odds very much in favor of living a much longer, healthier and happier life.

Before we look at how you can give yourself the best chances for good health and a long life, it would be a good idea to understand just what we have done, and what has been done to us, to cheat us out of the healthy and happy years we could have. My own education was an eye-opener and hopefully will also be one for you.

In the beginning � an eye-opening journey

Somewhere around the time I reached my mid-forties I finally began to come face to face with the reality of my own mortality. All of my friends were getting older, many of them were bothered by various health problems and several were beginning to carry around quite a little satchel filled with bottles of medications that they took daily. As for myself, I know that I seemed to look the same every day in the mirror (except for certain Mondays after I had spent the weekend acting like I still was young and immortal), but when I looked at pictures taken a decade or so ago, the difference was pretty obvious. And I knew that I wasn't quite as fast and lively as I was in my 20's and 30's. So, I reluctantly had to admit that chances were pretty good that I wasn't going to stay young and live forever, and, when I thought about all the bad habits in such areas as lifestyle, diet, exercise and sleep, I really began to be concerned about what I might be able to do to live as long and as healthy of a life as I could. I began to research health and aging, looking for ways to have more energy and vitality, live longer, and avoid or conquer the diseases and physical conditions that are common in our later years.

When I began my journey and started looking into subjects like anti-aging and disease prevention, I expected to find most of the answers I sought in modern science and medicine. Although I had a certain amount of respect for folk medicine and the tradition of natural cures, I was pretty much one of those "real drugs for real cures" kind of people who thought that the answer to any health problem was best found in modern medical facilities and on the shelves of modern pharmacies. I thought that for the most part, folk cures and natural remedies were pretty much superstition and unsupported myth. If I became ill enough to seek help, my first and only thought was to go see a licensed modern medical doctor and get the latest wonder drug for my illness. As for so-called alternative medicines, whether it was called naturopathic, homeopathic, folk or chinese medicine, well, I gave that about as much consideration as I would snake oil or the eye of a newt, or tongue of a toad - no witches brew or old wives tales medicine for me! I found out that I was terribly mistaken!

First the bad news: our medicine has fooled us & our government has failed us

The more I checked into modern medicine, the world pharmaceutical giants and regulatory agencies like the FDA, the more worried and disillusioned I became. I wondered why the death rate of cancer and heart disease was virtually unchanged for several decades, why so many drugs were being recalled because of serious, even fatal, side effects. And I kept reading about natural remedies that seemed to be much more effective without serious side effects for many forms of cancers and other diseases when all modern medicine had to offer was long term treatments with little odds of success and horrible, debilitating side effects. Then one day I came upon the following statement from former FDA Commissioner Dr Herbert Ley:

"The thing that bugs me is that people think the FDA is protecting them. It isn't. What the FDA is doing and what the public thinks it�s doing are as different as night and day."

As if that wasn�t disturbing enough, I then read the results from one of the FDA's own studies released in December 2004 (only after a freedom of information request resulted in the study finally being released two years after it was completed). According to the study, fully two-thirds of the very scientists that the FDA used to determine if drugs were safe stated that they lacked faith in the FDA's ability to determine drug safety. And one out of five of them admitted that they had been pressured to approve drugs that they felt were unsafe. What was going on here?

The more I read and researched, the less willing I became with unquestionably trusting modern medicine and modern drugs. At the same time, I became more and more impressed with what I discovered about natural healing, herbs and supplements. In hundreds of articles, testimonials, and medical studies, I found that there are thousands of people all over the world avoiding diseases, living longer and successfully beating diseases through natural healing and alternative medicines with far fewer side effects than conventional medicine. Why, I wondered, had modern medicine not embraced this fact? Why did more people not know about this? It seemed like to me that someone should be shouting from the rooftops: �CANCER! AIDS! HEPATITIS-C! HEART DISEASE! HIGH CHOLESTEROL! STRESS! STROKE! PROSTRATE DISEASE! KIDNEY DISEASE! YOU DON�T HAVE TO DIE! YOU DON�T HAVE TO SUFFER! AND YOU DON�T HAVE TO SPEND AN ARM AND A LEG!�

Soon, the answer became all too apparent: The largest single source of funding for medical schools is the trillion dollar world pharmaceutical industry. Does anyone think that it is a coincidence that since early in the twentieth century, modern medicine has taught our physicians to treat disease by prescribing synthetic drugs � drugs made by the same people who funded their medical schools? For years modern medicine has been taught to ignore natural cures and treatments, or else taught that they such things don�t work. The FDA has been co-opted into an agency that serves primarily to protect the marketplace of the pharmaceutical industry and suppress natural competition. Diet and natural herbs and supplements were not only ignored, they were suppressed, for the very simple reason that THERE WAS NO PROFIT IN IT!

Perhaps the most striking proof is the fact that it has taken modern medicine and doctors fully 40 years to finally admit that vitamins are beneficial! Yes, for four decades, they denied the obvious and dismissed the idea of adding vitamins to our diets as worthless! Today, as nutrition and natural healing are finally gaining wider acceptance among the medical profession, the big international pharmaceutical companies are fighting back by resisting alternate cures on one hand while on the other hand spending hundreds of millions of dollars on efforts to limit public access to vitamins and supplements. Their tactics are obvious, limit the competition from natural medicine for as long as possible, and then co-opt natural alternative by restricting public access and bringing the herbs and vitamins under their control so that they can drive up the price and keep their profits growing!

As it is, no herb or natural treatment or remedy can be labeled or even advertised legally as a cure or treatment. Think in terms of cancer, for example. If someone had a herbal supplement where 90% of the patients who took it became disease free, it still cannot be labeled or advertised as a cure or even as a treatment, while a synthetic lab-created chemical that kills more people than it cures can take out full page advertisements in national magazines. And that is how the public interest is protected from all of those dangerous herbs, which result in maybe 50 deaths a year compared to 106,000 deaths per year for properly prescribed medications that can be advertised as cures and treatments. Not to mention the 2,000,000 serious drug reactions from properly prescribed medications.

We would like to think otherwise, but the almighty dollar, pound, frank, deutschemark and ruble have dictated otherwise. To the big drug companies and the doctors that prescribe their medicines, our body is their marketplace. And the only way for an industry to grow is to increase the market. That simply cannot happen if too many diseases are cured; in fact, it means just the opposite � diseases must increase! And that is just what has happened: few cures and more side effects. Cure rates for major diseases are virtually unchanged over the past 30 or more years. Depending on the source, anywhere from 50-95% of modern drugs have not only side effects, but serious side-effects.

Death from prescription drug side effects is now the fourth leading cause of death in the United States according to the medical industry itself (the AMA Journal) � and that doesn�t include deaths that are reported to be caused by the original disease that really were the result of drug side-effects, or of miss-prescribed medications that are not reported by doctors leery of malpractice suits and malpractice insurance premium increases (one survey found that only 1 in 24 doctors would voluntarily report themselves in the event of a patient dying of miss-prescribed medications). When all factors are taken into consideration, improper medical treatment and prescription drugs are considered by some authorities as actually being the second leading cause of death in our country!

Sadly, my friends, if the following applies to a treatment or medication,

1. It works.
2. It's inexpensive.
3. Few, if any, negative side effects.
4. It's not patentable

�odds are it will stay on the black list because no one is going to spend a dime to prove its effectiveness or to prescribe it. Medicine is a business. Cancer and other diseases are part of that business. The FDA serves and protects the drug companies and the AMA from anyone with an inexpensive and effective treatment for money making diseases.

At this point I should probably add that I am not one of the conspiracy nuts who believes that all of our doctors and our governments and big medicine have joined together in a grand scheme to keep us from being healthy. In fact, I think that the big majority of doctors are dedicated, well meaning and hard working individuals. The failure of modern medicine lies in the ways that modern medicine has been taught and practiced, the way that alternative treatments and supplements have been regulated, and the way that an unhealthy amount of greed on the part of the drug companies have combined to rob us of the good health that we might otherwise have.

Then there is the environment. Ever since the industrial revolution began, we have been pouring an increasing number and amount of toxic chemicals and waste into our air, our water and our food. In the beginning, much of the fault was due to lack of knowledge of the chemicals we used as solvents, pesticides, paints, fuels and any number of other products and industrial processes. Today, that is no longer an excuse.

Despite the advances in modern science that have identified the damage that the toxic chemicals industry and fuel burning have wreaked on our environment, the process to clean up the environment is woefully slow and industry resists costly expenses to clean up at every step of the way, while the government is often all too willing to drag it�s feet and backtrack in enforcing or passing regulations to protect us. The well-heeled propaganda machine that serves industry and the politicians their money contributes generously to may paint environmentalist as �tree huggers� and radicals, but the scientific evidence is indisputable: the progress of industry has come at a huge cost to the public.

Today, the National Toxicology Program (NTP), part of the National Institutes of Health, lists 246 agents in our environment which are either known to cause cancer or reasonably expected to cause cancer, and many feel that the number is tremendously overstated. For example, the Health Science Institute tells us that the average glass of water contains 2000 carcinogens. And no matter which side of the environmental fence you may be on, no one who hasn�t lived with their head in the sand, is not aware of the lead, arsenic and mercury that that has been pouring into our environment for over a century now.

Next, we have to factor in the fact that over-farming and widespread use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers have made the food we eat today much less healthy than it was only a couple of generations ago. The same is true for the foods we buy off the shelf in our local grocers. Over-processing has removed much of the nutrients while harmful ingredients have been added to increase shelf life and enhance flavor and texture. Combined with America�s love for fast food, our diet can no longer be counted on to come anywhere close to giving us all the vitamins and nutrients that we evolved to require, much less the ones needed to offset the damages caused by pollution, additives and the sheer stress of modern life.

With so much bad news, is there hope? Fortunately, that answer is a resounding YES!

And then the good news - It�s never too late!

When you look at someone and say �Doesn�t he or she look young for their age�, or you remark that someone �sure has a lot of energy for their age�, what you are really seeing is someone who looks, acts and feels a lot closer to what they should for their age than you do. Whether they were blessed with good genetics, or more likely, have taken better care of themselves, the real question is: how do you acquire the kind of health and vitality and become the kind of person that people say the same things about. And, most importantly, is it too late?

The good news is that it is NOT too late - no matter what your age may be. Recent studies have shown conclusively that people in their 40�s, 50�s, and 60�s can change their diet and lifestyle and undo most of the damage that a lifetime of neglect has caused. That�s right, a person who is obese, sedentary, has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoker�s lungs, and other health problems can essentially reverse those problems if they take action NOW and virtually catch up to the same health and vitality of a person who has spent their entire life eating right, exercising and living a healthy lifestyle! Even people in their 70�s, 80�s and beyond can add quality years to their lives by changing their diets and exercise. The key is, no matter what your age, you should take action NOW, because a neglected body in poor shape is a ticking time bomb that you want to defuse before it really is too late. So, with everything to gain and nothing to lose, let�s get started!

If you have been sitting passively by for the past two decades watching in amazement the transformation of America into a country without enforceable borders and one which has increasingly moved toward one more resembling a third world police state, it may be time to at least ask some questions of yourself and your so-called leaders. This is not an issue of orderly and regulated immigration by those who want to be Americans, both culturally and lawfully. Nor is this an issue of immigration that would benefit the long range interests of our Nation at a level whereby cultural assimilation can occur so that the very fabric of our history, environment, and infrastructure are not destroyed. To honestly answer the title questions, also ask yourself the following:

Is there room for everybody who wants and chooses to come to America to find a better life and just how many of the world�s six billion people can we take in?

Is the open border policy of our so-called �leaders� simply a long range plan for International Federalism aka a one world government? And why are our elected representatives acting in obvious treason to our national sovereignty?

Are the problems of the third world simply one of geography or is it culture and what happens when you transfer a culture from one geographical location to another?

Does simply standing on American soil suddenly transform one into a mindset of health and prosperity?

What happens when other cultures are allowed to overwhelm our own culture by shear numbers without time for assimilation into American culture and values and if immigrants want to steadfastly retain their original national identities, then why come to America?

Is our healthcare system prepared to deal with the diseases of the third world that are generally not a problem in America?

Who will pay the added burdens of welfare and medical care programs to supposedly fight this additional disease and poverty?

What happens to the increased demand on natural resources in America, especially when third world immigrants develop a more American attitude toward �consumerism� and the use of natural resources?

What will be the impact of hundreds of millions of third world immigrants and their offspring on the already tattering and pollution of America�s environment and why are those who are truly concerned about environmental issues also the one�s most advocating of �open borders� in the name of so-called �humanitarianism�?

Are you prepared to endure even more overwhelming traffic congestion on our nation�s highways and streets and where will the money come from to expand our transportaion system?

Are retired Americans willing to accept a reduction in their retirement services and benefits for which they thought they had already paid?

Who will shoulder the additional tax burden on already over-taxed American citizens?

Go to the link below to watch an alarming video. If this short video does not cause us all to THINK for a moment about what awaits us if we do not get a firm and immediate handle on the problem of immigration, then we simply deserve the fate that awaits us. http://silverbulletin.utopiasilver.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=36&Itemid=33

I don't believe that colloidal silver would have any effect on cataracts, since they are generally caused by free radical damage, ...but there may well be some research that I am unaware of that could show some cataracts are caused by micro-organisms. If so, silver may be of benefit.

If you find any such research, please let me know.

Some beneficial supplements are, copper, manganese, grape seed extract, selenium, vitamin B complex, vitamin A, C, and E, and Zinc.

The Blue Man, To Be Blue or To Be Dead?

Several things about this news story that strike me as odd right off the bat:

First of all, the man is really blue. I mean really blue. When people contract argyria (i.e., skin graying) from ingesting excessive amounts of colloidal silver over long periods of time, they usually turn grey, not blue. That�s because the excessive silver buildup in their body has worked its way to the skin (the human body�s largest organ of elimination), and when the sun strikes the skin it tarnishes the large number of silver particles lodged there, turning the skin slate grey.

It is quite possible this man actually has a heart disease resulting in cyanosis (skin bluing from oxygen deficiency in the blood). Nevertheless, he says his condition is the result of taking colloidal silver for the past 14 years, so we have to take his word for it.

As I have been warning for the past 12 years, drinking excessive amounts of colloidal silver on a daily basis for long periods of time will indeed result in argyria for many people, particularly those with poor kidney and liver function. That�s because the excessive daily intake of silver particles is more than their kidneys and liver can expel at any one time. This can result in a residual buildup of the silver particles in the body�s tissues each time a person drinks more silver than their excretory organs can expel. Eventually, over time, the body tries to push this residual buildup of silver from the tissues out toward the skin, at which point the skin turns grey upon exposure to sunlight.

Also, the news story doesn�t tell us how much colloidal silver this man was taking daily. This is a typical ploy of the corporate news media. They want you to believe that any amount of colloidal silver is potentially dangerous, when that is in reality the farthest thing from the truth. But to create the illusion, they don�t bother to tell you how much colloidal silver was taken each day for those 14 years, even though that is the most critical factor in the story! As one experienced colloidal silver user stated in a blog regarding this news video, �This idiot would had to have drank Colloidal Silver by the gallon to have that happen to him!� While we disavow the name-calling, the point is well taken. You have to try real hard to discolor your skin by drinking colloidal silver. It is actually easier to turn your skin orange from drinking too much carrot juice than it is to turn your skin gray (or blue) from drinking colloidal silver.

Finally, this gentleman�s contention that his skin turned blue from rubbing colloidal silver on it, rather than from drinking it, is�well�rubbish. If the colloidal silver actually did cause his condition, then it was from drinking it in excessive quantities over long periods of time. If he rubbed anything on his skin and turned it blue, I can assure you it was not colloidal silver. This man is apparently blue nearly from head to toe. It is highly unlikely he was rubbing colloidal silver all over his body. And even if he was, it would not have turned him into a Smurf.

Also I would be extremely remiss if I did not point out one more vital fact in regards to this news video: Out of the estimated seven to 10 million regular colloidal silver users in the United States alone, this is only the second or third person the news media have been able to find in the last 20 years (to my knowledge, anyway) who has �turned blue.� The news media claimed a man turned blue from taking colloidal silver back in 2002, but that story turned out to be highly exaggerated.

At any rate, I still find it absolutely amazing that the news media will find two or three people who get this benign but unsightly skin condition out of the literally millions of regular colloidal silver users in the U.S. and Canada, and then broadcast it from the rooftops as if it were the norm. But they won't mention the astonishing 2.2 million people who suffer serious and quite often life-threatening adverse reactions from prescription drug use every single year, or the 100,000 Americans KILLED each year from prescription drug use, which is 30 times more than all of the U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war! Let�s see now: two or three people turning blue in 20 years from excessive colloidal silver usage, versus 100,000 people a year being flat-out put into their graves by common drugs their doctors prescribed them. Which is more newsworthy? I�ll leave that up to you to decide.

This man�s case is obviously an extremely rare one. But it is a good example of what we have been saying for years: In much the same way you wouldn�t eat a half a bottle of vitamins a day unless you want to endure some potentially nasty side effects over time, you also can�t take excessive amounts of colloidal silver daily without eventually provoking a nasty side effect called argyria. Most people are intelligent enough not to take the kind of huge daily dosages that would be necessary to stain your skin like this man has apparently done over the course of the past 14 years. But there are still many web sites out there that claim colloidal silver has �no side effects whatsoever� and that you can �drink all you want with no risk.� Those are blatantly untrue statements. And we have been sounding the alarm against such statements for years.

Again, just as you can�t take all of the vitamins you want every day without risk, so you can�t drink all of the colloidal silver you want each day without risk. If you take excessive quantities of colloidal silver daily for long periods of time, you do indeed risk contracting argyria (i.e., skin graying). It is not a guarantee you will become argyric. But it is a very real risk. The key to avoiding side effects from colloidal silver, or from any other natural supplement for that matter, is the same one your mother taught you when you were a little child: �Don�t overdo it; use MODERATION in all things.� If an ounce of colloidal silver a day works good for you, then for goodness sakes don�t start thinking that maybe 16 ounces a day will be even better. It is that �more must be even better� mentality that ultimately produces these rare cases of side effects which the news media in turns capitalizes on in order to scare people away from using this otherwise safe and powerfully effective all-natural infection-fighting agent and immune system booster, which has been used by tens of millions of people worldwide since it was first invented in the late 1800�s shortly after Edison harnessed electricity.

Regards and good health!

What Is IP6?

Post On The American Cancer Society

December 9, 1998--A naturally occurring substance found in the foods we eat everyday might shrink tumors, stop their growth, and even make cancer cells behave normally again.
Abulkalam M. Shamsuddin, MD, PhD, a professor of pathology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, and his colleagues, found inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) slowed or stopped the growth of human liver cancer cells grown in laboratory dishes and shrank existing tumors in mice.

"IP6 does not kill cancer cells; it tames them and makes them behave like normal cells," said Dr. Shamsuddin, whose research has focused on the cancer-fighting properties of the compound for more than a decade.
IP6 is a sugar molecule and is found in cereals, rice and wheat bran, legumes such as soybean and virtually every kind of cell in mammals. A member of the vitamin B6 family, it is though to regulate cellular functions including cell proliferation and differentiation.

According to Shamsuddin, IP6 decreases the reproduction of cancer cells and often causes them to revert to the size, shape and structure of normal cells. "IP6 has striking anticancer action, both in vitro (in cells cultures) and in vivo (in live animals)," he said.
According to David Ringer, PhD, scientific program director in the research department for the American Cancer Society, most studies in which IP6 was used to treat cancer in animals have indicated it inhibits cancer cell growth. These studies primarily have involved animals with colon and breast cancers. But Dr. Ringer also said clinical trials are needed to determine the therapeutic and/or preventive benefits of IP6.
Since IP6 is a natural food product and is not regulated by the FDA, Dr. Ringer said there are three important issues to consider: is IP6 is effective, is it safe, and what is a safe and effective dose.

IP6 has fallen in and out of medical favor since its discovery. Its antioxidant properties sparked initial excitement, followed by concern that IP6 binds tightly with important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc, preventing the body from absorbing them properly. More research is required before the ACS can sign off on its use, he added. In the interim, Dr. Ringer suggests consumers who are considering IP6 consult their physician.

Forum Adminstrator Post:
In our opinion, the reason it has "fallen out of favor", which is a very misleading statement in itself since it has never really been in mainstream medicine "favor", is that it is too effective and too "cheap". If it really works as it appears, it could single-handedly destroy the huge industry that has grown up around "Cancer".

Additionally, although it does bind to and deplete minerals as stated by the ACS article, that supposed "concern" is easily overcome by supplementing with minerals. My research has found that almost no "mainstream medical establishment" doctors will ever "approve" it's use since it has not been "approved" by mainstream medical organizations; a very deceptive, but typical circular reasoning that we see regularly from mainstream medicine.

I personally know of at least a dozen people who have had very good success with IP-6 and who simply take addtional mineral supplements to compensate for this accelerated depletion. I, myself do a preventative maintenance every 4 months with IP-6 as does my ninety (90) year old father and he has never had one problem with taking it. Not one side effect and if anyone were going to manifest any problems it would probably be a person of that age.

In the not-so-distant future, cancer screenings may be as simple as coughing onto a special piece of filter paper, and getting the results in the time it takes to finish a cup of coffee. This could lead to more people having their cancers detected earlier. More than any other single factor,early detection can greatly increase survival rates, especially if the cancer is found before metastasis to other organs.

Researchers and medical practitioners around the globe are excited by new patented technology that can detect a sugar produced by most pre cancerous and cancerous cells - possibly even before the cancer can be detected through more traditional screening methods. There may now be a natural way to re-program those pre-cancerous cells to act normally, and kill any cancerous cells, without harming healthy tissues. Tests for mass screening the population for cancer or any other disease must be accurate, affordable and ideally non-invasive so it's easily accepted. The current screening tests for cancers of the colon, lung or the breast are either notoriously inaccurate or quite expensive and uncomfortable such as colonoscopy and mammography; there is none for lung cancer. Thus, reliable and affordable screening tests are seriously needed.

I have spent more than 30 years exploring the etiology of cancer. People have always felt that a high fiber diet leads to a low incidence of cancer. That's true in general, but when I looked at the incidence of breast and colon cancer in Finland and Denmark, and compared the fiber intake, I found an inverse correlation. The Danes ate twice as much fiber as the Finns and had double the incidence of colon cancer. What do the Finns eat that protects them? It turns out that they eat a lot of cereal products rich in naturally occurring substances called IP6 and inositol. I was intrigued enough to intensify his investigation into how colon cancer formed.

In the early 1970s, pathologists and clinicians argued whether or not all colon cancer came from polyps. It was an 'all or nothing' argument that I didn't think was logical. So I started conducting lab tests on rats, rat colon cells, and human colon cells, exposing them to cancer causing agents to determine how cancer forms at its earliest stages. I also examined very carefully and methodically human tissues and found that yes, some cancers do arise from polyps. But I could also see microscopic cancer forming without polyps in both the human and animal models. In the process, I also found that when cells first start to become pre-cancerous, they begin producing an abnormal sugar: galactose-N acetyl-galactoseamine. This abnormal sugar production continues even after the cells become cancerous. Logically, it made sense that cancer causing agents work randomly throughout the organ they are affecting.

When you inhale cigarette smoke, for example, you're exposing your entire tracheal-bronchial tree in the lung, not just certain areas. So it made sense that any changes would affect an entire field of cells, with only some of those cells eventually becoming cancerous. If the cancer is in the ascending or transverse colon, for example, it's likely that the abnormal sugar would be found in the entire colorectal area since all of it is exposed to the cancer-causing agent. In the mid-1980s, I developed and patented a simple test using special filter paper that changes colors in 10-15 minutes if exposed to this abnormal sugar. It can accurately detect pre-cancerous lesions in colon cancer using rectal mucus. I have used the same principle to develop similar tests for breast, lung and uterine cancers. The lung cancer test simply involves coughing or spitting on the paper. The colon test first made national news in 1985, ironically coinciding with the announcement of President Reagan's colon cancer. My colon cancer screening test is now used extensively in China. The core technology is licensed by Toronto-based PreMD., Inc. (formerly IMI International Medical Innovations), which has developed ColorectAlert(tm), LungAlert(tm) and a breast cancer test. PreMD recently announced that ColorectAlert(tm) has been included in a study sponsored by the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Early Detection Research Network.

Upon completion, this study is expected to help pave the way for regulatory clearance of ColorectAlert(tm) in the United States. LungAlert(tm) and the breast cancer test are likewise in clinical trials.Each test is simple, non- or minimally-invasive and cost-effective relative to other currently available screening options. In clinical studies to date, each test has demonstrated strong performance in detecting early-stage cancer.

In my earliest work, I noted a dietary link between a high intake of IP6 and inositol and lower incidence of cancer. Inositols affect the basic process of cancer formation by preventing cells from dividing in an uncontrolled manner and causing them to behave normally such as preventing them from producing the abnormal sugars. When exposed to IP6 + inositol, normal cell division and function are restored in pre-cancerous cells. Using therapeutic dosages, it selectively kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells. Those with detected cancer be treated then monitored post operatively using the same test. The efficacy of treatment and prevention by IP6 + inositol could be followed up by the tests: conversion of test positive to test negative would indicate that the risk has been reduced or even eliminated! Likewise, those individuals who are test positive but do not have tell-tale evidence of cancer most likely have precancerous conditions or lesions and are at a high risk; prophylactic IP6 + inositol given to them should convert them from test-positive to test-negative.

Naturally occurring inositol and Calcium-Magnesium inositol exaphosphate (marketed as Cell Forte) also work as a powerful antioxidant,helping to support normal blood sugar, provide healthy kidney function, and more. When used in combination with conventional chemotherapy, Cell Forte also may increase the efficacy and decrease the side effects of cancer therapy.

No Consensus on "Heavy Metals"

"There is a tendency, unsupported by the facts, to assume that all so-called �heavy metals� and their compounds have highly toxic or ecotoxic properties. This has no basis in chemical or toxicological data. Thus, the term �heavy metals� is both meaningless and misleading."

- John H. Duffus, The Edinburgh Centre for Toxicology, Scotland, "Pure and Applied Chemistry" 74, 793�807

Bjerrum�s Inorganic Chemistry contains the earliest reference to the term "Heavy Metals" in chemistry, published in 1936. Bjerrum defined heavy metals based on density. Any metal with a density greater than 4 g/cm3 was thus considered to be a heavy metal. However, Bjerrum's definition was never accepted, nor used as a formal or official definition of a heavy metal.

However, there is no relationship between density and any reactive properties associated with metals, or any other element in the periodic table. Heavy metals were redefined based on a gram atomic weight, and also by the atomic number on the periodic table ( with many variations in "opinion" of the starting number ). By some of these "official" definitions of what a heavy metal is, both Magnesium and Potassium are classified as heavy metals.

The most widely used toxicology reference, Casarett and Doull�s Toxicology, never uses the term �heavy metal�, but only references toxic metals. This is most likely due to the fact that the heavy metal classification, in any historical or modern form, lacks scientific validity.

A few thoughts by Stephen J. Hawkes of Oregon State University, Department of Chemistry, demonstrate an interesting perspective:

"The metals that I have seen referred to as heavy metals comprise a block of all the metals in Groups 3 to 16 that are in periods 4 and greater. This seems to be a definition that should be generally useful. It may also be stated as the transition and post-transition metals. These acquired the name heavy metals because they all have high densities, but the usefulness of the term is related to their chemistry, not their density. It is not necessary to decide whether semimetals should be included as heavy metals, which is fortunate, since it is unlikely that any decision would be generally agreeable."

From a chemical standpoint, the above definition is satisfactory. However, it is clear that this definition of "heavy metal" may not in any way be related with suspected toxicity, but has meaning only pertaining to specific chemical properties.

Hawkes also places the whole "controversy" in rather comical perspective by sharing a chemistry teacher's answer to the question: What is a Heavy Metal?

"I asked this question of my introductory chemistry teacher over 50 years ago. He replied rather hesitantly, "A metal that behaves in a �heavy metal manner." A vague term requires a vague definition, but just what is a �heavy metal manner?�

There are also some articles in this week�s Silver Bulletin that may also shed some light on the subject.

Healthcare Choice Is A Right Secured by Common Law

How to best care for our health, whether with mainstream �medicine� or by means of supplement, nutrition, or any other method that one deems proper and best is a Right secured by Common Law for each individual American Man and Woman. The healthcare war that is being waged today between the FDA, their puppet masters, The Pharma-Industrial Complex and the People is not new to western culture, nor is the use of courts by an organized group to force their tyranny upon others. Groups advocating monopolies for their "select and enlightened clicks" have been at work for centuries trying to steal the Right of healthcare choice from the People.

A friend of mine doing healthcare freedom research sent this to me recently and I thought that it was something all Americans needed to know and be prepared to use in court. The following is from English Common Law which by reference was invoked and accepted into the Common Law of the several American States.

According to Ralph Fucetola, JD, �When the American Colonies declared their independence as Sovereign States, in July, 1776, they each adopted the Laws of England as the Common Law of the State. Among the Laws of England so adopted is the Herbalist's Charter, an Act of Henry the Eighth (in the Eighth Year of his reign). It is astonishing to note that many of the issues confronting alternative practitioners today are the same issues which the Act of Parliament addressed. In the Sixteenth Century, as in the Twentieth Century, licensed physicians and surgeons were going to Court to ban the activities of the alternative practitioners of their day, the herbalists. Parliament ordered an end to this misuse of the Courts to enforce licensure, protecting the nutritionists from "suit, vexation, trouble, penalty, or loss of their goods..." This ancient Act of Parliament applied to England and the King's "other dominions" including, of course, the American Colonies, and later, States. This Act has never been repealed, and thus remains part of our Common Law to this day, offering protection to alternative practitioners, "at all Time from henceforth..." as a perpetual Charter of Rights.�

This Charter is referenced on PubMedCentral at:
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=31729

The text of the Charter reads:

Herbalist's Charter of Henry the VIII, 1543 A.D.

"An Act that Persons, Being No Common Surgeons, May Administer Outward Medicines�

"Where in the Parliament holden at Westminster in the third Year of the King's most gracious Reign, amongst other Things, for the avoiding of Sorceries, Witchcrafts and other Inconveniences, it was enacted, that no Person within the City of London, nor within Seven Miles of the same, should take upon him to exercise and occupy as Physician or Surgeon, except he be first examined, approved, and admitted by the Bishop of London and other, under and upon certain Pains and Penalties in the same Act mentioned;

"Sithence the making of which said Act, the Company and Fellowship of Surgeons of London, minding only their own Lucres and nothing the Profit or ease of the Diseased or Patient, have sued, troubled and vexed divers honest Persons, as well as Men and Women, whom God hath endued with the Knowledge of the Nature, Kind and Operation of certain Herbs, Roots and Waters, and the using and ministering of them to such as been pained with customable Diseases, as Women's Breasts beings sore, a Pin and the Web in the Eye, Uncomis of Hands, Burnings, Scaldings, Sore Mouths, the Stone, Strangury, Saucelim and Morphew, and such other like Diseases; and yet the said Persons have not taken anything for their Pains or Cunning, but have ministered the same to poor People only for Neighborhood and God's sake, and of Pity and Charity:

"And it is now well known that the Surgeons admitted will do no Cure to any Person but where they shall be rewarded with a greater Sum or Reward that the Cure extendeth unto; for in the case they would minister the Cunning unto sore People unrewarded, there should not so many rot and perish to death for Lack or Help of Surgery as daily do; but the greatest part of Surgeons admitted been much more to be blamed than those Persons that they troubled, for although the most Part of the Persons of the said Craft of Surgeons have small Cunning yet they will take great sums of Money, and do little therefore, and by Reason thereof they do oftentimes impair and hurt their Patients, rather than do them good.

"In consideration whereof, and for the Ease, Comfort, Succour, Help, Relief and Health of the King's poor Subjects, Inhabitants of this Realm, now pained or diseased:

"Be it ordained, established and enacted, by Authority of this present Parliament, That at all Time from henceforth it shall be lawful to every Person being the King's subject, having Knowledge and Experience of the Nature of Herbs, Roots and Waters, or of the Operation of the same, by Speculation or Practice, within any part of the Realm of England, or within any other the King's Dominions, to practice, use and minister in and to any outward Sore, Uncome Wound, Aposelmations, outward Swelling or Disease, any Herb or Herbs, Ointments, Baths, Pultess, and Emplaisters, according to their Cunning, Experience and Knowledge in any of the Diseases, Sorea and Maladies beforesaid, and all other like to the same, or Drinks for the Stone, Strangury or Agues, without suit, vexation, trouble, penalty or loss of their goods;

"The foresaid Statute in the foresaid Third Year of the King's most gracious Reign, or any other Act, Ordinance or Statues the contrary heretofore made in anywise, not withstanding."

Know your Rights or you will not know what is being pillaged from you by others and your own �government�.

Safety of New Drugs Cannot Be Known for Many Years

Twenty Percent Ultimately Found to Have Life-Threatening Adverse Effects, Harvard and Public Citizen Find

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Twenty percent of all new drugs are found to have serious or life-threatening adverse effects unknown or undisclosed at the time of drug approval, according to a study to be published tomorrow in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

The study, by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, found that half of these serious adverse effects are detected within seven years after a drug is first introduced onto the market. Damage to the liver, heart and bone marrow, as well as pregnancy risks, are the most common problems that arise after new drugs are introduced.

Sixteen drugs were withdrawn from the market over the 25-year study period; half of those withdrawals took place within two years of a drug's introduction. The study also analyzed drug entries in the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR), the most common source of drug information for doctors. The authors examined 26 volumes of the PDR, from 1975-2000, to determine how many drugs were found to have new serious adverse effects that were not known when the drug was first released. The study authors found that the estimated probability of acquiring a new black box warning or being withdrawn from the market over 25 years was 20 percent.

"This study will change the way I talk to patients about the use of new drugs," said Dr. Karen Lasser, study author and primary care doctor and researcher at Cambridge Hospital and Harvard Medical School. "If there is a safer, effective drug that has been in use for a number of years, I would strongly recommend it over a newer drug whose safety profile is unknown. I would prescribe a new drug only when absolutely necessary, and then watch for adverse effects very, very closely."

Prescription drug adverse effects are a major public health problem. "Twenty million patients, almost 10 percent of the U.S. population, were exposed to the five drugs withdrawn from the market between September 1997 and September 1998," said Dr. Paul Allen, study co-author, an internal medicine specialist at Cambridge Hospital and Harvard Medical School. "Yet the drug companies push the public and doctors to use new drugs that are more profitable but also more dangerous."

The authors recommend that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) not approve new drugs that are found to have safety problems in premarketing trials, especially when safer, equally effective therapies already exist, or when a new drug treats a benign condition.

"For many years, we have recommended to doctors and patients not to use new drugs until they have been on the market for at least five years, unless the drug is an important advance over existing treatments, which is rarely the case," said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group and study co-author. "This study provides much more extensive evidence for this cautious approach to treating patients."

The other study authors (Drs. Steffie Woolhandler, David Himmelstein and David Bor) are associate professors of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
