DID YOU KNOW???

"A 65-year-old diabetic cut himself on the leg. He washed and bandage it but, as often happens with diabetes, the pain persisted, and the cut grew into a sore. Soon it became bigger than the bandage, and he had to apply a dressing. Still, it grew bigger and ugly. In desperation he went to a clinic. His sore was diagnosed as a ‘stasis ulcer.’ For a year, one treatment after another was tried. Nothing, including penicillin and sulfonamide, could heal the ulcer. If his condition had continued unchecked, his leg probably would have been amputated. But finally he was referred to a clinic that treated skin ulcers with a silver compound. This promptly stopped the growth of all bacteria. In less than two months, the ulcer was completely healed."

"We have had instant success with Colloidal Silver and immune compromised patients. A few examples are: Pink eye (topical) totally resolved in less than six hours; recurrent sinus infections (oral ingestion) resolved in eight days; acute cuticle infections - (topical) - twenty four hours. Another major area in which we have improved our clinical results is in the area of bowel detoxification and dysbiosis. The Colloidal Silver has provided excellent removal of abnormal intestinal bacteria; also it has proved to be a great adjunct to our Candida albicans, Epstein Barr Virus and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome protocols."

Report: Overuse of Antibiotics threatens World Health

May 14, 1998


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists issued a new call Thursday for more prudent use of antibiotics, warning that over prescribing for every sniffle and ear infection is fast helping germs mutate so the medicines no longer work when they’re really needed.

Antibiotic resistance appears "to be on the verge of desperation," said Nobel laureate Joshua Lederberg, who chaired an Institute of Medicine panel that called Thursday for global efforts to fight the problem.

Up to 40 percent of antibiotics prescribed for various respiratory and ear ailments are inappropriate, said microbiologist Gail Cassell, vice president of Eli Lily & Co.

The issue is so pressing that the government and American Academy of Pediatrics have mailed every pediatrician new brochures to give parents, urging that they not demand drugs for every sniffle. The rate of antibiotic use in children under 15 is three times higher than for any other group.

"When your child is sick, antibiotics are not always the answer," say the brochures. They explain that antibiotics have no effect on viruses, which cause all colds and most sore throats, and are not always needed for ear infections.

Doctors once predicted antibiotics would vanquish infectious diseases. But the bugs are rapidly overwhelming today’s medicines:

More than 90 percent of staph aureus strains are resistant to penicillin and other related antibiotics.

40 percent of pneumococcus strains in some parts of the United States are partly or completely resistant to multiple antibiotics.

A growing number of germs are developing resistance to the antibiotic of last resort, vancomycin. Last month, one of these superbugs, vancomycin-resistant staph, apparently claimed its first victim, a man in New York.

At the government’s request, the private Institute of Medicine convened top bacterial experts to monitor the problem.

Despite several years of warnings, overuse of antibiotics remains the biggest reason the bugs are growing stronger, the panel concluded Thursday. The culprits aren’t just patients and doctors:

Antibiotics are overused in animals raised for food. The new trend of putting germ-resistant coatings on toys, high chairs and other paraphernalia could be a problem, too, Cassell said.

To fight back, doctors, veterinarians, patients and insurance companies all must be better educated about proper antibiotic use, the report said.

And the world urgently needs a reliable system to track drug resistance, so scientists have vital information to fight back and so doctors know which germs in which region respond to which drugs, the panel concluded.

A joint surveillance program by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration and Agriculture Department so far has just $4 million to work with, Cassell said. "That’s a drop in the bucket compared to what’s really needed," she said.

The CDC in 1994 began a global surveillance network for all emerging diseases, including drug-resistant infections, with an estimated price tag of $125 million. So far, Congress has provided $59 million for the project; President Clinton has requested another $20 million for next year.

Bristol-Myers Squibb is sponsoring a separate worldwide resistance tracking program, as part of industry efforts to better target new antibiotics.



What Do Health Professionals Say About Silver and Colloidal Silver?

"What we have actually done was rediscover the fact that silver kills bacteria, which had been known for centuries… when antibiotics were discovered, clinical uses for silver as an antibiotic were discarded" concludes Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D.

Extensive research into the curative properties of silver has been conducted for many years at the Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y. under the direction of above mentioned Dr. Becker. The experiments conclude that silver works on a wide range of bacteria, without any known side-effects or damage to the cells of the body. Silver was doing something more than killing disease-causing organisms. It was also causing major growth stimulation of injured tissues. Dr. Becker concludes that the presence of the silver ion may help to regenerate tissue, eliminate old or cancerous cell, and any other diseased or abnormal condition.

Dr. Henry Crooks (Use of Colloids in Health-Disease) found that silver in the colloidal state is highly germicidal, quite harmless to humans and absolutely non-toxic. From his bacteriological experiments with silver he concluded, "I know of no microbe that is not killed in laboratory experiments in six minutes."

Dr. Bjorn Nordenstrom, of the Larolinska Institute, Sweden, has successfully used silver as a component in his cancer treatments for many years.

Dr. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, A. M., M. D. (John Hopkins) states, "Speaking generally, the colloidal metals are especially remarkable for their beneficial action in infective states."

Dr. 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. We’re just beginning to see to what extent silver can relieve suffering."

What is the Best Concentration to Use?

"Colloidal Silver is a potent natural anti-microbial that has been known to affect one-celled organisms on a cellular level.
However, tests on Colloidal Silver, using 3-5ppm, have been in vitro. In vitro means the tests were not done inside the human body but rather in a test tube environment. When Colloidal Silver enters a person’s system, the concentration of 20ppm is diluted. Once Colloidal Silver has entered the system, the 20 ppm concentration is in the range of 3-5 ppm. Conversely, there is no dilution in tests that are in vitro.

Colloidal Silver solutions with a particle size of .001 micron or smaller, will cleanse then leave the cell, whereas particles larger will accumulate and become toxic.

For this reason, 20 ppm seems to be the optimal concentration for the human body to utilize Colloidal Silver, the same concentration in which the body uses Colloidal Silver in vitro at 3-5 ppm." - Dr. Ron Surowitz DO (past president of the Florida Osteopathic Association).



MINERALS and our Bodies


Live Longer, Live Better. With Minerals.

"You may not sense the presence of Minerals in your body, But you do not want to experience their absence.!"

According to Dr Linus Pauling:- "You can trace every sickness, every disease and almost every ailment back to a Mineral deficiency!"

Dr Pauling has won 2 Nobel prizes for his works!



Why we need Minerals.

Every living cell on this planet depends on minerals for proper function and structure. Although vitamins have received much more attention than minerals, most vitamins and anti-oxidants (except Vitamin C and OPC) can be manufactured within our body, however, Minerals can not be made.

---Minerals are essential for the proper utilization of Vitamins, Proteins, Enzymes, Amino Acids, Carbohydrates and Fatty Acids before they can be properly utilized by the body.

---Many people supplement their diet with Enzymes, but there are over 3000 enzymes-that we know of-. Enzymes are made from Proteins plus Minerals. ALL enzyme activity involves Minerals.

---Trace Minerals are also an essential part of Hormone structures and activity. Malfunction of the Endocrine system causes serious problems and diseases.

---Minerals play a critical role in the synthesis and replication of DNA. Old cells are constantly being renewed to perform their functions, but without the appropriate Mineral, they just stagnate.

---Our bodies require Minerals to maintain the alkaline conditions essential to prevent acidosis -the cause of aging, heart disease, cancer and many other diseases. For example, the immune cells are reduced in an acid environment and the red blood cells will therefore only function at 5%-10% of their oxygen carrying capacity.

---Food cravings, compulsive eating and obesity are linked to Mineral deficiency. The body wants more and more food because it can never be satisfied with empty food.

There are at at least to fifteen diseases that are possible resulting from EACH Mineral deficient over time. We require 60 plus Minerals (some in minute amounts) every day and if we don't have these we are creating a Mineral deficiency.



Increase in disease

In the USA one person in three will get cancer,(in New Zealand one in every four).One in two women, one in three men will get osteoporosis and die of it. Almost everyone talked to complains of some chronic health problem like headaches, digestive trouble, backache, allergies, lack of energy etc. People are now consuming pills, drugs, vitamins, minerals and herbal remedies at record rates.

The use and abuse of prescription drugs, diuretics and 'diet' elixirs have ravaged our bodies ability to absorb and utilize minerals efficiently. Supplements of bee pollen, spirulina, b-group vitamins etc boost glycogen levels and give more energy for a while, but also speed up degenerative processes, if basic mineral nutrients are lacking. Many athletes suffer early disease and death. If you are deficient in anything, and push yourself hard, you are speeding up the permanent damage. Exercise is great, just make sure you're getting a balance of quality minerals and vitamins with a powerful anti-oxidant.



Secrets of the Ageless

Tibetan's in Western China, Hunzi's in Eastern Pakistan, Russian Georgian's in the Soviet Union, Armenians in the Soviet Union and Titicacan's in Peru routinely live to be 120-140 years of age. In their areas the crops have been irrigated with water containing between 60 and 72 different minerals. The people in these high mountain villages are blessed with minerally rich soils and food which therefore makes for radiant health with boundless energy.

Heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, glaucoma, birth defects, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, cataracts, obesity and many other diseases which we consider as common are virtually nonexistant. We have the same genetic potential of enjoying robust health until 120 and beyond, but we need to add these minerals to our diet as they are NOT in our soils and thusly NOT in our food.

I am an avocate for healthy diet. That is to say that I take a realistic stance when refering to diet. Pollution is ever present and there is little we can do other than choosing carefully and washing foods etc. To give our bodies the best possible chance of long, healthy life we must not pollute our systems with processed foods, as the colourants, preservatives and flavours added to these foods slowly accumulate and clog our systems. Given that our bodies DON'T recieve the minerals needed to function properly, even with the best of diets, how much sense is there in making it break down and process the poisons contained in processed foods??

It now takes more than twenty apples a day to keep the doctor away!!

A big mistake is to believe that a balanced diet will suffice. Even the best diet will not be able to supply minerals that haven't been picked up from the soil. It is horrific to learn the 99% of Americans are deficient in minerals!! I am uncertain how many New Zealanders fall into this group. Given that our soil has NO Selenium AT ALL, the we can assume that we all suffer from a lack of this mineral.
