First, A Word For Our Sponsors: YOU
When the Natural Solutions Foundation shared our analysis of the weaponization of the Avian Flu with you in 2008, we got many hundreds of emails asking us what to do to protect ourselves. We said very clearly that while the weaponized Avian Flu Virus might not react the way other pathogens did, we predicted that it would be killed by contact with Nano Silver, a finely divided type of silver which kills all known disease-causing agents or pathogens and which is sold as a Dietary Supplement in the US. I was very clear that the Avian Flu organism might or might not respond the same way. As it happened, later information let us know that we were correct: Nano silver DOES, indeed, kill the weaponized Avian Flu virus as it kills all known micro-organisms except beneficial ones.
The US government says that people marketing silver products are not allowed to tell you this truthful information. We told you, within our private, opt-in expressive association, of the truth as we see it. To receive information like this is exactly why you opted into our Health Freedom Action eAlert – http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=187. Please be assured, so long as an open and free Internet exists, we will speak truth to power… for you and for all humans who are facing this “time of plague” together.
We anticipate that the protective benefits of Nano Silver will remain true during this absurdly transparent laboratory-created swine flu surging out of Mexico.
After we notified folks about the uses of Nano Silver to protect against disease, even weaponized disease, two things happened:
1. a sudden push to take Nano Silver off the market by the EPA erupted — to which you responded in huge numbers to push back and protect our right to this natural remedy.
2. We got emails thanking us by the thousands about the topic.
When we first mentioned Nano Silver, people wrote to us asking which product I recommend and I freely shared with our followers that we personally use ABL’s Nano Silver, sold under private label at www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions called “Silver Biotics”. We spoke extensively with the manufacture (with whom we were already familiar), made arrangements with Nutronix to get the product to you rapidly and passed that information on to you.
In a particularly twisted, bizarre response to our efforts to inform you, some people have even gone so far as to suggest that we are ‘profiteering’ from the pandemic.
Most people wrote to say “Thank you!” — but a few others have written to say that we should not recommend something from which the Foundation receives any benefit!
Um, why not? “Who”, as General Bert often says, “made that rule?”
This Nano Silver product is one in which we believe and which we believe can save your life. We are certainly banking on it to save ours! And, the Foundation also needs support, because our efforts to inform can also save your life. Let’s be frank: times are tough for all not-for-profits, since the economy has taken a carefully orchestrated beating. The Banksters are doing very well, thanks to wholesale plundering of future taxpayers, (Goldman Sachs says it will return the bailout billions rather than cut executive bonuses!) but we little people are bearing the brunt of their misdoings.
The Foundation recommends products and services that we think are of outstanding value and we sometimes make a small percentage of their sale price, when you buy from the sources we recommend. You have the information for free, of course, and, should you choose to make your purchases elsewhere, we do not get any support, but you have the information to use.
Let’s be clear here: whether you buy Nano silver from us or not, it COULD save your life. IF you buy it from Nutronix, a merchant that gives us a percentage of the purchase price, we get support from that sale. Let me reiterate: Neither General Bert nor I take a single penny from this 24/7 engagement with your health freedom. Not one.
These letters remind me of the few, but memorable, people who, as my patients, told me how grateful they were to me for saving their lives but, since I was doing “the Lord’s work”, I had, as a doctor, they would insist, “no right” to make money from their treatment — as though time, knowledge and experience were worthless!
If you are among Natural Solutions Foundation supporters who disseminate our information, donate (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189) and makes purchases through our sites (www.Organics4U.org and www.NaturalSolutionsMarketPlace.org) to support the Natural Solutions Foundation, thank you. We could not do it without you.
But if you are among those few who chastise us for looking to the market as a source of support, please think about this: Only children believe that they should simply hold out their hands and get toys and sweeties without giving something back. We give information, analysis, help and support on a continuing basis. And we look forward to your support as we go forward. It’s called a “reciprocal relationship”. It is a necessary relationship if we are going to heal the world, together.
The predicted, or perhaps I should say, “promised” pandemic may very well be upon us. This is, as sure as God made little green apples, a totally man-made event, with a totally man-made pathogen (disease-causing agent). The WHO, US Government and MMD (media of mass deception) have been ramping up, ramping up, ramping up. But there is no honest virologist in the world who can look you in the eye and say that this virus had any chance whatsoever of having self-assembled genes from Eurasian, North American and other Swine Flu, Avian Flu (already weaponized with the genes of the 1918 Pandemic Virus?) and human viruses, sprung, like Venus from the brow of Zeus on April 14 in Mexico City and then, suddenly it has deadly potential around the globe… without a whole lot of help from its friends.
Deadly potential, by the way, is pretty weird here. There is little doubt that the death toll in Mexico is much higher than previously reported. How high we may never really know.
But there is also little doubt that there is no reason to have declared a “Health Emergency” in the US for a disease which has impacted fewer than 20 people and killed none of them. What pandemic? Who pandemic? Could it be that this pandemic is a totally orchestrated event to make sure that there is an excuse for closing down those few liberties and constitutional rights which still exist after the last devastating 8 years? The “left neocons” continuing the process the “right neocons” started?
I was reading an update from a Chinese site yesterday. It stated that the US, with 20 non fatal cases, had declared a “Health Emergency”, The same site noted that there had been a fatal train wreck in a remote part of China and 21 people were dead. I noted with interest that China did not declare a “Train Emergency”.
Bear in mind that once a global pandemic is declared, just as the US assumes supreme dictatorial powers through Patriot I, II, III, BARDA and other legislation, Executive Orders and Homeland Security Directives, and as the States assume similar powers through the Emergency Medical Powers Acts, passed at the urging of the Homeland Security cabal, so the UN will, according to already prearranged agreement, become the supreme political governing force on the planet.
World government, “elected” by a lowly virus… and an engineered one, at that.
Interestingly enough, of course, it was the Angel of Change, Barak Obama, who, along with then Senator Biden, proposed to the US Congress that a head tax be paid by every man, woman and child in the US to support the UN and that the US military be placed under the authority of the UN, that is, of the New World Order.
I would call that change, all right. And I would say that it may be that a non-pandemic Pandemic just might work to get them what they are looking for.
What will it get you?
Vaccinated with a Weaponized Vaccine.
I have the reports of several Mexican doctors who tell us that their colleagues were vaccinated and died. Vaccinated with what, you may ask? Now that is a really good question. Remembering that the CDC claims that it already has a “seed stock” from this virus which first appeared, they say, on April 14 in Mexico, that is pretty good work.
My research says that it takes quite a lot longer to make the seed stock, the purified and characterized virus, from which vaccines can be made.
And then it takes an absolute minimum of 4 months, if you are favored by the vaccine-making gods, to get yourself a vaccine.
Now, that vaccine may or may not provide any ‘immunity’ against the virus or other organism you are hoping it will protect you from.
Again, according to my research, there is literally NO disinterested evidence to suggest that vaccines provide any sort of protection from any sort of disease (I know, this is heresy to the vaccine priests and their followers – sorry, I am compelled to speak the truth as real science tells us). We do know, however, that vaccination damages the immune system in a rather horrific number of ways. Despite the ‘white wash’ and fol-de-roll, that is simply the science of the matter.
So now we have a new virus, clearly man-made, against which doctors in Mexico are being vaccinated within less than 2 weeks of its being discovered. And they are dying, according to our sources.
What does that tell us? To my mind, it tells us that the entire purpose of this exercise is two fold:
(1) to get those vaccines into your body and
(2) to tie down global control of the planet.
There is no way whatsoever that a vaccine, which is specific to a particular organism, can be effective, to the extent that it is ever effective, against another organism. NONE. Even the CDC admitted earlier today that existing flu vaccine supplies were not “effective” against this Swine Flu (according to CNN).
But, what will the vaccines do? Consider what happened in January when Baxter Pharmaceuticals “accidentally” contaminated shipments of seasonal flu vaccines to 18 countries with live Avian Flu virus. If that “mistake” (how did that live virus get into the very secure vaccine factory?) had not been discovered, there would already be an Avian Flu pandemic… so now, that weaponization having failed, we get the Swine Flu “incident…”
For more details about the January incident, see:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2220
Some commentators have said that this exercise is only that — a dress rehearsal for the “real thing” and they could, of course, be correct. But whether they are correct or not, the game is going forward and it is one in which the official rule book is being written by those who will benefit from the new feudalism.
Can you Spell “New World Order”
Natural Solutions Foundation always provides solutions when we raise problems and issues. Always. And, since we understand that Nano Silver is the most potent, yet safe, nutritional pathogen killer know, we have been recommending for some time now that you need to lay in a good store of Nano Silver for health threats, both natural and man-made. But there are other ways to regulate the immune system, too, and we want to tell you about some of them. We urgently recommend the Nano Silver route (here is the link again: www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions). Man does not live by Nano Silver alone:
Many people have been asking us what they can do to feel less helpless in the face of the possible weaponized flu pandemic about which we have been raising the alarm over the past months. While we are watching closely. We are not totally convinced that the current crisis is a true pandemic, despite the fact that the WHO elevated the threat level a few hours ago from “3” o “4”. We are as greatly concerned about the possibility of a weaponized vaccine forced on the public as the real threat. If the choice is between a ‘quarantine center’ (read: concentration camp) and a vaccine containing unknown dangers, and you are forced to receive an alleged vaccination for a pandemic, the first line of defense would be to consider that perhaps such intramuscular shots are a bit like a snake bite and might be treated in a similar fashion. Get the poison out, as a first line of defense. Detoxify! If you have an Infrared Sauna, use it. Drink large amounts of pure water. Use the detoxifying nutrients and herbs you have available to you. Treat the forced vaccination as though it were the assault on your immune system that it surely will be.
I cannot say what will help, but every bit of mercury, aluminum, fluoride, formaldehyde, squalene, aspartame, MSG, Polysorbate 80 and other toxins you can get out of your body, is better than than that same poison in your body.

“Research suggests certain natural foods may be as effective against virus H5N1
as commercial antivirals.
(PRWEB) May 10, 2006 — A Biology teacher from Australia, named Stephen Jones,
has done extensive research into the H5N1 virus and compiled a list of natural
foods that are effective against it and listed others that are detrimental.
The list may come as a surprise to many people since foods such as spirulina
and echinacea are listed as detrimental. This strange occurrence is largely
due to the fact that the virus is immune to 2 cytokines that the body produces
(TNF-a and IL-6). Cytokines are compounds produced by the body’s immune system
that attack and remove foreign bodies. The problem is that when a foreign body
is immune to certain cytokines, the body sees that its immune response is not
working and tries even harder, which can lead to what is called a cytokine
storm, where the body becomes flooded with these compounds and they eventually
destroy the body itself. Foods such as Echinacea actually stimulate the
production of these specific cytokines; hence consuming it is not a good idea
if one suspects they may have the virus.
During the 1918 Spanish Flu many healthy young people died from cytokine
storms due to their immune systems overreacting. Consuming foods which
suppress the production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6 and enhance the production
of the ones that actually are effective against the virus will aid the patient
greatly.
Other foods that create mucous in the respiratory tract, such as bananas, are
also listed as detrimental due to the fact that the predominant breeding
ground of the virus is the respiratory tract and another way in which a
patient may suffer is due to the body’s over production of mucous in this
area.
Natural Antivirals
Folk Medicines and Herbs to use and avoid with Bird Flu
Below is a list of foods that are said to contain substances that are natural
antivirals, immune boosters or they decrease cytokines TNF-a and IL-6.
Alternative medications that are most likely to help us during a severe
pandemic:
Garlic (allicin) – Very effective antiviral. Best if fresh (raw) and crushed.
Must be consumed within 1 hour of crushing. Dosage is initially 2 to 3 cloves
per day but later reduce until no body odour occurs. No toxic effects noted.
(Pubmed PMID 9049657)
Vitamin C – Boosts the immune system and is an antiviral by blocking the
enzyme neurominadase. Viruses need neurominadase to reproduce. There are
anecdotal stories of people taking large amounts of Vitamin C (children ½)
surviving the Spanish Flu. Research shows that it may reduce the production of
cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. A study on 470 people involved giving the test group
1000 mg hourly for 6 hours and then 1000 mg 3 times daily after reporting flu
symptoms. Symptoms decreased by 85%. (Pubmed PMID 10543583, 634178, 16169205,
12876306)
Green Tea (possible Tamiflu/Relenza alternative)- Very effective antiviral.
Also decreases the production of the cytokine (catechins) TNF-a. Inhibits
neurominidase. May have antiviral activity that is equal to other antivirals
such as Tamiflu. (Pubmed PMID 16137775)
St Johns Wort (Hypericum) – Very effective antiviral. Also decreases the
production of the cytokine IL-6. Hypericum is an extract from St John’s Wort.
There have been some very successful field trials in commercial flocks
infected with H5N1 in Vietnam. (Pubmed PMID 7857513, 11518071, 11362353,
7857513, 11518071)
Vitamin E – Immune booster. Also decreases the production of the cytokine
TNF-a. (Pubmed PMID 155882360, 10929076) Experiments involved using mice. Very
suitable for immune compromised people, especially the elderly. Effects
enhanced when taken with Vitamin C.
Apple Juice – Antiviral. Fresh apple juice including the pulp and skin has
greater antiviral activity than heated commercial apple juice. More research
is needed. Effectiveness on H5N1 is unknown. (Pubmed PMID 32832, 12452634)
Resveratrol – Antiviral. In addition to inhibiting neuraminidase, Resveratrol
also sends a message to cells to stop manufacturing viruses. This is a proven
antiviral found naturally in red wine, peanuts, mulberries, Japanese Knotwood
root (richest source), raisins and red grapes. Resveratrol supplements are
relatively inexpensive, are more stable than wine and is available in liquid
form for absorption in the mouth. No toxic effects noted. (Pubmed PMID
1583880, 12817628, 15985724)
Scuttellaria (Skullcap) – Antiviral. A herb used as a tea. It has no side
effects and is also a mild tranquillizer. Research suggests neurominidase,
which is a substance needed by the H5N1 virus to reproduce, may be inhibited.
Cranberry Juice – Early research shows that it may be an antiviral, making
viruses less able to invade or multiply. Effectiveness on H5N1 is unknown.
(Pubmed PMID15781126)
Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) – Decreases the production of the cytokine
TNF-a. Also boosts immune system. The number of white blood cells was
significantly increased during treatment. No toxicity was noted.
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed) Active
constituents can be found in the leaves, bark, vine, and roots. Water
extraction from bark used. Children and pregnant women are to avoid. Has a
potentially damaging effect on the DNA of proliferating cells. (cancers,
fetuses, growing children)
Curcumin (Tumeric Spice) – Decreases the production of the cytokine TNF-a.
This is the yellow compound in turmeric spice. Research shows that this may be
very good for preventing a cytokine storm although this is not proven. Must be
taken with food or gastritis or peptic ulcers may occur. Pregnant women and
feeding mothers should avoid this. The medicinal properties of curcurmin
cannot be utilized when used alone due to rapid metabolism in the liver and
intestinal wall. When combined with Piperine found in black pepper the
absorption is increased with no adverse effects. Obtainable from health stores
in tablets, liquid, capsules already combined with piperine. Dosage is 500mg
to 4000mg daily.
Astragalus root (Astragali Radix) – Boosts immune system. (Pubmed
PMID15588652)
Tea tree Steam Inhalation – Reduces the cytokine TNF-a. Add 2 drops of tea
tree oil in a bowl of steaming water. Cover head with a towel and inhale for 5
to 10 minutes. Relieves congestion and fights infection. Its effectiveness is
unknown. (Pubmed PMID 11131302)
The following substances may be best to avoid during a H5N1 pandemic
Elderberry juice (Sambucal) – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a
and IL-6. This substance is very effective against the common flu but may not
be desirable for the H5N1 virus. Increases in these cytokines may trigger a
lethal cytokine storm. (Isr Med Journal2002 Nov;4:944-6)
Micro Algae (Chlorella and Spirulina) – AVOID – Increases production of
cytokine TNF-a. (Pubmed PMID 11731916)
Honey – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. (Pubmed
PMID12824009)
Chocolate – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. (Pubmed
PMID 12885154, PMID 10917928)
Echinacea – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. Although
it is often used for normal flu, research shows that it may increase the
chance of cytokine storms for H5N1. (Pubmed PMID 15556647, 9568541)
Kimchi – AVOID – Increases production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6. (Pubmed
PMID15630182)
Dairy products & Bananas – AVOID – These foods increase mucous production.

“April 28, 2009 – Swine flu is a respiratory illness in pigs caused by a virus. Mexico’s
government is ordering closed schools nationwide as the suspected death toll
from swine flu climbed to 149. Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova says only
20 of the deaths have been confirmed to be from swine flu and the government
was awaiting tests results on the rest. He says 1,995 have been hospitalized
with serious cases of pneumonia since the first case of swine flu was
reported on April 13. Alarmingly, the flu outbreak in Mexico is striking
healthy young people — a pattern that would be expected if a flu virus new
to humans emerged…
Officials in Mexico and the U.S. are taking emergency steps to contain
what is believed to be a new multi-strain swine flu. “If the confirmed
deaths are the first signs of a pandemic, then cases are probably incubating
around the world by now,” said Dr. Michael Osterholm, a pandemic flu expert
at the University of Minnesota. The Mexican Swine Flu has elements of DNA
from the following: avian flu, human flu Type A, human flu Type B, Asian
swine flu, and European swine flu. Human and animal viruses from four or
more continents suddenly recombine in a new flu during a non-flu season that
spreads from human-to-human with a 10% fatality
rating.
Just last month Baxter Pharmaceuticals was caught shipping a mix of H3N2
seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses. Baxter released
contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria, which contained
live H5N1 avian flu viruses. 2
In Mexico City children rarely use the color blue when they paint the
sky. The atmospheric pollution in the Mexican capital, one of the world’s
biggest cities, is one of the most severe air pollution cases in the world.
Contaminated air hangs over its population of more than 20 million people
doing damage to children’s lungs causing chronic lung diseases when they are
adults. Perched at 7,300 feet in a bowl-shaped valley where the air is thin,
vehicle fumes get trapped and you might as well be living in a gas chamber.
It is that bad and this explains in part why we are finding deaths from the
flu concentrated there with no deaths reported outside of Mexico to this
date. Even the healthy are sick. Full of toxins, they are medically speaking
“accidents waiting to happen,” so when a strong flu strain strikes such a
population the death rate will be very high. The cause of death is
debatable! …
*Infections cannot be separated from the conditions that
invite pathogens to proliferate. This seems to boggle the
minds of orthodox medical scientists, who like the blind men
and the elephant, seem to be able to focus on one thing at a time.*
We live in a dangerous world and anything that throws us out of balance
invites pathogens to take up residence in our bodies. If this is the
beginning of the pandemic that health officials have been warning about it
is best to begin preparing your body before the flu strikes. This article
offers natural emergency medicine that addresses both the body’s terrain and
the potential pathogens quickly. Starting with the most basic medicine, we
need to address dehydration and the use of water and mineral salts as
medicines first.
*Dehydration Dangers*
Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear infections,
sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions,
such as congestive heart failure, asthma, or diabetes. Many underestimate
seasonal flu’s severity and neglect treating dehydration, a survey of U.S.
physicians and consumers found. Fifty-seven percent of doctors surveyed said
they considered dehydration the single most dangerous flu side effect.
“Severe flu symptoms like fever and body aches often keep patients from
taking in adequate fluids,” said Dr. Leanne M. Chrisman-Khawam of Case
Western Reserve University in Cleveland. “By managing symptoms, one will be
more likely to manage their dehydration as well.” …
The blood is 80 percent water thus hydration levels are extremely
important in blood chemistry. Moderate dehydration, a 3-5% decrease in body
weight due to fluid loss is sufficient to result in a substantial decrease
in strength and endurance because of the *decrease in oxygen carrying
capacity of the blood signaling a drop in Zeta potential.* Proper hydration
is thus the most basic preventative medicine against death from any type of
flu.
*Mercury Exposure = Increased Vulnerability*
Chronic mercury exposure is also a threat to our health and makes us
especially vulnerable to flu infections. It has been shown that “prolonged
exposure of mammals (white mice) to low mercury concentrations (0.008 – 0.02
mg/m3) leads to a significant increase in the susceptibility of mice to
pathological influenza virus strains. This is shown by more severe course of
infection. In the experimental group more mice died (86 – 90.3 %) than in
the unexposed animals (60.2 – 68 %), additionally the experimental group
died more quickly. The significant difference was in the appearance and
degree of pneumonia in the effected animals,” wrote Dr. I. M. Trakhtenberg
in *Chronic Effects of Mercury on Organisms.*
Though everyone in the northern hemisphere is contaminated with mercury
health officials have a mental block against suggesting anything that might
reduce total mercury body burden. Though some dedicated health activists are
cracking the FDA’s endorsement of mercury dental amalgam it will take a
Martian death ray to get them to protect the public from the obvious.
Natural chelation methods work safely to remove mercury but unfortunately,
if this is the dreaded flu outbreak, there will be little time to reduce
mercury levels. Much can still be accomplished with the emergency protocol
suggested below. Mercury exposure will make flu symptoms worse and even more
dangerous, and that is one reason the flu vaccine is deadly because most
brands include thimerosal, which almost fifty percent mercury.
Several other mercury fighters have a place in the flu battlefield. In
addition to binding mercury into a fairly harmless complex, selenium is a
very good inflammation fighter even in small concentrations. N-acetyl
L-cysteine, an antioxidant and glutathione precursor, stimulates production
of this master antioxidant and, among other things, boosts the immune system
and has anti-inflammatory properties. Alpha-lipoic acid, another mercury
mover, acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, while protecting the
mitochondria and reducing cellular inflammation. Learn about them before you
need them and add them to your medicine kit now.
*Iodine, the Universal Pathogen Killer*
As early as June 1, 1905 an article was printed in the New York Times about the
successful use of iodine for consumption/tuberculosis. Though
iodine kills most pathogens on the skin within 90 seconds, its use as an
antibiotic/antiviral/antifungal has been completely ignored by modern
medicine. Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts,
protozoa, and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable
for direct use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is
capable of killing *all classes of pathogens*: gram-positive and
gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and
protozoa. *Most bacteria are killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.*
*Iodine is by far the best antibiotic,
antiviral and antiseptic of all time. *
* Dr. David Derry*
Dr. Derry says iodine is effective “for standard pathogens such as
Staphylococcus, but also iodine has the broadest range of action, fewest
side effects and no development of bacterial resistance.” Some doctors have
reported that it is excellent for the treatment of mononucleosis. Iodine
kills single-celled organisms by combining with the amino acids tyrosine or
histidine when exposed to the extracellular environment. All single cells
(pathogens) showing tyrosine on their outer cell membranes are killed
instantly by a simple chemical reaction with iodine that denatures proteins.
Nature and evolution have given us an important mechanism to control
pathogenic life forms, and we should use it and trust it to protect us in
ways that antibiotics cannot.
Dr. David Brownstein, author of *Iodine – Why You Need It,* uses iodine
extensively in his practice and says, “Iodine is a wonderful antibiotic
solution without question and most importantly *I never see any of my
patients complain of dysbiotic reactions from its use.” *Because
drug-resistant micro-organisms continue to emerge and the number of patients
susceptible to these infections is increasing dramatically an approach that
utilizes the innate powers of the immune system as a therapeutic agent will
have the greatest benefit to sick patients. The body’s ability to resist
infection and disease is hindered by long-term deficiency in essential
vitamins and minerals including that of iodine. Poor immune response is
correlated with impaired thyroid function; *a deficiency in iodine can
greatly affect the immune system* because low levels of iodine lead to
problems with the thyroid gland.
I personally talked to a missionary, Stephen Fisher, in Zambia on the
phone last year who told me about his very successful use of iodine to treat
people with malaria. He used 20 drops of Nascent Iodine in a half glass of
water given 4 or 5 times during the first day and then decreased the dose to
10 drops of Nascent Iodine 4 times a day for 3 more days, although higher
dosages can be administered for much longer since iodine is a nutritional
medicine that is needed by the body. Such a protocol can be used for the
swine flu or any other type of influenza. Brownstein and others use much
higher dosages of other iodine forms, namely Lugol’s and Iodoral for cancer treatment.
If you are interested in high dose usage, please read one of the books by
Dr. Brownstein or myself for more details on how to do so.
The minimum number of iodine molecules required to destroy one
bacterium varies with the species. For H. influenzae it was calculated to be
15000 molecules of iodine per cell. When bacteria are treated with iodine,
the inorganic phosphate up-take and oxygen consumption by the cells
immediately ceases. Thus the antiseptic properties of iodine are used to
sterilize every surface and material in hospitals. Iodine is an excellent
microbicide with a broad range of action that includes almost all of the
important health-related microorganisms, such as enteric bacteria, enteric
viruses, bacterial viruses, fungi and protozoan
cysts.
The tremendous diversity and mutability of many infections and their
ability to intelligently exploit the cells is one of the main reasons we
should return to iodine as our favored broad spectrum antibiotic, anti-viral
and anti fungal agent. Iodine provides us with a safe way to strengthen
innate responses to invading microbes while simultaneously correcting or
eliminating a basic nutritional deficiency that causes immunological
unresponsiveness.
*Iodine is able to penetrate quickly
through the cell walls of microorganisms.*
Iodine is a deadly enemy of single cell microorganisms thus it can be
our best friend in our fight against the most dangerous pathogens. Nature
and evolution have given us an important mechanism to control pathogenic
life forms and we should use it and trust it to protect us in ways that
antibiotics can’t.
Dr. David Brownstein, one of a core group of iodine doctors had very
kind words to say about my *Iodine – Bringing Back the Universal Medicine
book.* “Dr. Sircus has done it again. He has written a wonderful book on
iodine that shows the benefits of iodine for treating a wide range of
disorders and how you can incorporate iodine into your daily lifestyle.
This book should be in everyone’s library.” I would say the same about his
book, which inspired my deeper study into the applications of Iodine.
For those who can only get the inexpensive iodine at the drug store meant
for cuts and bruises, know that you can paint the body with it quite heavily
and frequently to get iodine into the body. Just monitor the skin for any
reactions with small area applications first.
*Influenza, Inflammation, and the Role of Magnesium*
What makes avian-derived H5N1 strains, and the influenza strain
underlying the 1918–1919 human pandemic so virulent is viral triggering of
cytokine-mediated lung inflammation. Inflammation is the activation of the
immune system in response to infection, irritation, or injury. Characterized
by an influx of white blood cells, redness, heat, swelling, pain, and
dysfunction of the organs involved, inflammation has different names when it
appears in different parts of the body. Magnesium is central to
immunocompetence, and plays a crucial role in natural and adaptive immunity
in great part because of its dominance over the inflammatory
response.
Magnesium is at the heart of the inflammatory process, it is the prime
first cause when it is not present in sufficient quantities. Increases in
extracellular magnesium concentration cause a decrease in the inflammatory
response while reduction in the extracellular magnesium results in
inflammation. Magnesium literally puts the chill on inflammation especially
when used transdermally. “Magnesium deficiency induces a systemic stress
response by activation of neuro endocrinological pathways,” writes Dr.
Mazur. “Magnesium deficiency contributes to an exaggerated response to
immune stress and oxidative stress is the consequence of the inflammatory
response,” he continued.
A little bit of magnesium chloride can be added to the drinking water
(the same as sodium bicarbonate mentioned in the next section). But both can
be introduced in much greater dosages and concentration in baths to bypass
digestive systems that may not be working properly. Many already know of the
transdermal effect of magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate. One can also apply both
‘magnesium oil and a self-made lotion of sodium bicarbonate to the skin for rapid
absorption and this is most helpful for children. All can be put into a
sterile solution and nebulized directly into the lungs if inflammation
becomes life threatening. When all else fails, physicians can get both
magnesium and sodium bicarbonate into the body with IVs.
Most people and children are already magnesium deficient, which would
naturally increase complications or the possibility risk of death from
influenza. Everything mentioned in this basic emergency protocol is
preventive and can be started immediately. Don’t wait for the WHO to
officially announce an international pandemic before you stock your
emergency kit with the basics.
*Sodium Bicarbonate*
Using bicarbonate to change blood and full body pH is going to shift
the environment of most pathogens making it more uncomfortable for them to
inhabit a host. Malaria and influenza are often associated with
abnormalities of fluid, electrolytes and the acid-base balance. Sodium
bicarbonate is very useful and should not be overlooked just because it is
one of the most simple medicines and food items you can buy in the
supermarket.
Fluid and electrolyte imbalances easily occur in anybody with a severe
flu. This is common in severe malaria, extremes of age, young children,
malnutrition, and patients with high degree of fever and vomiting/diarrhea.
Sodium bicarbonate can be administered orally every two hours and can
be put in the baths as well as mixed with mineral water to make a lotion.
For oral use, Bob’s Red Mill Sodium Bicarbonate is the best but for baths
the old Arm and Hammer product is fine. Sodium bicarbonate buffers and
defends us from a host of complications, and is even used in chemotherapy to
protect patients from the toxic effects of dangerous drugs.
Sodium bicarbonate along with magnesium chloride are workhorse
medicines that are extremely useful in most all clinical situations.
Certainly they are useful together in infectious diseases to support both
the basic physiology and mitochondrial function.
*Vitamin C*
One does not have to say much when it comes to the importance of
Vitamin C in preparing the body for an aggressive attack of influenza of any
type. If vitamin C levels are low, the body will be more vulnerable to
complications. Also, an attack of the flu will lower already dangerously
depleted vitamin C levels. Whole food vitamin C is often better tolerated
than pure ascorbic acid in addition to the fact that whole food vitamin C
comes with the necessary co-factors for its efficacy, which ascorbic acid
does not.
There are many natural remedies on the market and many wives’s tales
–and there is always Mother’s chicken soup! One will find an extensive list
of possible herbs, formulas and foods that might help; however, they do not
make up a core protocol that one can depend on in an emergency situation
that can easily develop with a severe strain of influenza.
*The Sun – Strong Medicine against the Flu*
Medical scientists have noticed that people with the least D were most
likely to have had a recent infection of the upper respiratory tract. We
already know that getting plenty of vitamin D — more than diet can offer
—
appears to provide potent protection against colds, flu and even pneumonia.
As the amount of vitamin D circulating in blood climbs, risk of upper
respiratory tract infections falls and this is important when strong flu
strains strike hard.
Dr. Adit Ginde, an emergency room physician at the University Of
Colorado Denver School Of Medicine in Aurora says that in people with lung
disease, low levels of the sunshine vitamin “magnify many-fold” the
apparent vulnerability to infection seen in people with healthy lungs. Dr. Ginde
findings appeared in the Feb. 23 Archives of Internal Medicine and concluded
that in every season, people in the lowest vitamin D group were about 36
percent more likely to be suffering a respiratory infection than those in
the highest group.
Grind’s study showed that low levels of vitamin D more than doubled the
risk of respiratory infection for people with COPD — and boosted it almost
six fold in people with asthma — compared with participants who had normal
lung function and were in the highest vitamin D group. What was most
disturbing about the findings was that the NHANES data he analyzed had been
collected about 15 years ago, when almost twice as many people as today had
vitamin D levels above 30 ng/ml. This is a crucial point. We are more
vulnerable today then every before to a massive epidemic because we are more
toxic and more deficient in crucial vitamins and minerals than at any point
in modern history.
One of the most important and misunderstood vitamins is A, and it works
hard to keep you healthy with vitamin D when in the right balance. Vitamin A
plays a vital regulating role in the immune system also. Vitamin A
deficiency leads to a loss of ciliated cells in the lung, an important first
line defense against pathogens. Vitamin A promotes mucin secretion and
microvilli formation by mucosa, including the gastrointestinal tract mucosa.
Vitamin A regulates T-cell production and apoptosis.
If you are a sun lover, you do not need to take supplemental vitamin D;
however you still need to consume adequate vitamin A. Animal studies show
that even moderate amounts of vitamin D increase the body’s need for vitamin
A, whether the vitamin D is provided in the diet or by UV light. So, if you
cut back or eliminate cod liver oil in the summer, you can also consume
plenty of oily fish, liver, butterfat and egg yolks from grass-fed hens to
ensure adequate vitamin A.
So throw away your sun screens and get out in the sun when it is high
in the sky and roast yourself until slightly pink, and do that perhaps every
other day as a replacement for dangerous antiviral medications, along with
the rest of the anti-flu protocol. Drink lots of carrot juice with oranges
and eat spirulina, which is extraordinarily high in beta-carotene.
*In Summary, a Heart Felt Plea*
Please, I beg people to be aware that in November of 2005 Japan’s
health ministry issued a warning of dangerous behavioral side effects linked
to the anti-influenza drug Tamiflu. This came amid reports that several
children in Japan died after taking the medication. Dr. Rokuro Hama, head of
the Japan Institute of Pharmaco-Vigilance, had investigated eight suspicious
deaths of children aged between two and 17, which he thinks are linked to
Tamiflu. He reported his findings at a meeting of the Japan Society of
Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Investigators say in one case last year, a
17-year-old boy, after taking the medication, left his home during a
snowstorm, and jumped in front of a truck and died. Earlier that year, a
14-year-old boy, after taking one Tamiflu capsule, jumped or fell from the
ninth floor of an apartment building. Doctors say in both cases the boys had
not exhibited any abnormal behavior before taking Tamiflu.
Drug manufacturer Roche and US regulators have warned that influenza
patients treated with oseltamivir (Tamiflu) may have an increased risk of
self-injury and delirium. “People with the flu, particularly children, may
be at increased risk of self-injury and confusion shortly after taking
Tamiflu and should be closely monitored for signs of unusual behavior,” says
a warning that Roche has added to its official product information,
according to a company letter posted on the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) Web site. …
Dr. Eleanor McBean, lived through the 1918 Influenza epidemic, and
testified, “As far as I could find out, the flu hit only the vaccinated.
Those who had refused the shots escaped the flu. My family had refused all
the vaccinations so we remained well all the time. There was seven times
more disease among the vaccinated soldiers than among the unvaccinated
civilians, and the diseases were those they had been vaccinated against.”
Vaccines, especially when given in multiple quantities in one sitting
certainly have the potential to throw a person or child’s body out of
balance as can nutritional deficiencies, dehydration, lack of exercise
or a lack of sun and vitamin D. Almost everyone today is magnesium
deficient, certainly every Mexican who eats white rice!
There are many who believe from the depths of their hearts that
vaccines are bio weapons of mass destruction, which exist for both
pharmaceutical profit and over bloated professional medical egos attached to
status and power. No matter what we believe though and no matter what
develops over the next few days it would be more than prudent to disseminate
this information that will be helpful to both doctors and people facing the
current public health crisis…
Retired biochemist and toxicologist Walter Last has this to say about
Lugol’s: “Lugol’s solution is an internal iodine
solution designed to eliminate Candida and possibly viruses and other
microbes from the bloodstream. Obtain 100ml of Lugol’s solution, also
labeled Aqueous Iodine Oral Solution B.P., from a chemist. Take a test drop
in liquid other then just water to make it taste less strong. If this does
not cause an allergic reaction, continue to take 4 x 6 drops daily in liquid
or mixed with food, but not together with vitamins A, C, E, grape seed
extract or cysteine. Iodine is an oxidant and it is best to reduce the
intake of antioxidants while using it. If the blood was contaminated, then
you may initially experience a die-off reaction of the Candida, causing
weakness and possibly headache or nausea. If this happens cut temporarily
back on the amount of Lugol’s solution and drink plenty of water and diluted
teas or juices. Continue for 3 weeks, but interrupt if you develop a serious
reaction. Do not take the iodine for more than 3 weeks as that interferes
with thyroid activity. If necessary repeat the course after several
months.”
[We are unable to determine the original source of the above compilation to give due credit; if anyone knows of its original publication, please let us know…. This in from Dr. Gayle on 05/01/09: “You are looking for Mark Sircus as the source on that post. Also KinChee was proven to kill avain flu virus in work in Japan and Korea.”]

There is a great deal of misinformation about silver solutions. While there are several kinds (ionic, colloidal, nano technology, protein silver), the safety of silver is extraordinary, despite the fear of turning blue (argyria) which has been promulgated over the years.
The truth is that virtually no one has ever turned blue because of a deposition of silver particles in the skin. In the documented case where this has happened, the person drank huge and irrational amounts of silver daily for decades. In the recent well-publicized case of a politician who was supposed to have turned blue from drinking silver, it turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by his political opponents in the campaign for office he was participating in.
The smaller the particle size, the more effective the silver is at disrupting the biological function of disease causing bacteria, mycoplasma and viruses. The smaller the particle size, the more efficiently the body can get rid of the silver.
The silver we recommend, ASAP silver sol solution is exceedingly small in size, has never been shown to provide any medical or health problems and has been used for people from infancy to people in their 90s.
Here are the facts as I see them, after extensive experience using silver for infections of all types:
1. Silver in nano sized particles does not cause argyria because the particles are small enough to pass easily out of the urine, rather than being deposited in tissues. No case of argyria has ever been reported with nano particle silver
2. As you said, the amounts you would have to consume border on the insane.
3. Nano silver is effective, without any known side effects, against every pathogen it has been tested against
4. Through its applications in Africa, we know that pregnant women, tiny babies, fragile elderly, people with diabetes, cancer, auto immune disease, etc., do not develop side effects when they take silver as directed.
5. No ulcers have ever been reported with nano silver
6. The silver we recommend has been shown NOT to kill beneficial bacteria, thus protecting the integrity of the gut and the immune system.
ASAP silver sol solution has been tested against more than 650 pathogenic organisms and has been effective in vitro (in the lab) against every one. It has also been tested against the normal bacteria (which we refer to collectively as “pro biotics”) and found, rather amazingly, to spare these beneficial bacteria.
I personally never travel without ASAP silver sol solution. I have used it for common ailments like a cold and uncommon ones like malaria. It can be taken via sub lingual administration directly under the tongue to speed absorption and prevent it from reaching the GI tract or it can be mixed in a small amount of water and taken by mouth. It has no flavor or taste so even babies can take it without distress.
We have concluded a special arrangement with Nutronix.com to allow us to offer you this silver sol solution. Please do yourself a favor and lay in a good supply of this outstanding health aid.

Introduction
Avian Influenza (H5N1, or Bird Flu) can be a fatal disease in humans and a serious threat to become a pandemic event. Since there is no pharmaceutical remedy for the Bird Flu it is essential that preventive treatments be tested and developed in order to enhance survivor rates in the human population.
Since 1973, Silver has been shown to have topical activity against 22 bacterial species (643 isolates) including gram positive and gram negative bacteria1. As an antimicrobial agent, Silver has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of burn infections, post surgical wound infections, and gynecological infections2, 3. In addition, Silver has been shown to be active against black mold4, Anthrax5, Bubonic plague6, Malaria7, and numerous viruses such as Hepatitis 8.
Recently it was reported that the American Biotech Labs product, Silver Sol, demonstrated additive and synergistic effects when combined in individual trials with 19 different antibiotics9. The Silver
from ABL was shown to improve the effectiveness of the antibiotics even against
antibiotic resistant infections 9.
The Merck Index identifies the following medicinal uses of silver: Antiseptic particularly for mucous membranes and infectious sinusitis10. The Merck Manual and Centers for Disease Control, recommend that Silver nitrate drops should be placed in each infant eye as soon as possible or at least in the first half hour of life to prevent gonorrheal ophthalmia 11.
The safe use of Silver as an orally consumed preventive agent has been demonstrated and supported by reports from the EPA and the United States Department of Health and Human Services in a 76 week long study12,13. Dogs that inhaled Silver showed activity in the lung in one hour with 90% of the silver carried to the liver by the blood within 6 hours14.
Due to the increased risk from methicillin resistant bacteria, black mold, plasmodium and especially bird flu, the need for orally consumed, safe, daily prophylactic prevention exists. In this study, Silver Sol from American Biotech Labs demonstrates safe beneficial and preventive activity against H5N1 Bird Flu, when taken orally in mice.
The American Biotech Labs product, ASAP- AGX-32, as well as their product designated ASAP, to be virucidal against the avian influenza A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1) x A/Ann Arbor/6/60 hybrid virus, with an up to 2 log10 virus titer reduction occurring after a 6 h incubation of the product and the virus
(USU report dated March 28, 2006). In that same report, similar incubation with the avian influenza A/Duck/MN/1525/81 (H5N1) virus reduced the virus titer by approximately one-half log10 in the same
time period. This material is reportedly very well tolerated in human subjects when ingested orally, Dr Gordon Pedersen of American Biotech Labs designed a study with the Centers for Antiviral Research to
evaluate the potential for ASAP-AGX-32 and ASAP, to inhibit an avian influenza A (H5N1) virus infection of mice when administered orally to the animals beginning 1 week prior to virus exposure. This report describes the results of this experiment.
Materials and Methods
Animals: Female specific pathogen-free 18- 21 g BALB/c mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA). They were quarantined 5 days prior to use. They were housed in polycarbonate cages with stainless steel tops and provided tap water and mouse chow ad libitum.
Virus: Influenza A/Duck/MN/1525/81 (H5N1) virus was originally provided by Dr Robert Webster of the St. Jude Hospital (Memphis, TN). The virus was adapted to mice by passage twice through weanling animals and a large pool prepared in MDCK cells for use in this study. The virus was titrated in young
adult mice prior to use in the present experiment.
Compounds: ASAP and ASAP-AGX-32 were provided by Dr Pedersen. They were in blue bottles, so all studies run with each were performed using the materials in injection bottles covered with aluminum foil to avoid light exposure. All were stored at room temperature until used. It is understood that the ASAP solution contained a colloidal silver at a concentration of 10 ppm, and the ASAP-AGX-32 contained the same colloidal silver at a concentration of 32 ppm. Ribavirin, included as a known positive
control, was provided by ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Costa Mesa, CA); it was dissolved in sterile saline and stored at 4o C until used.
Arterial Oxygen Saturation (SaO2) Determinations: SaO2 was determined using the Ohmeda Biox 3800 pulse oximeter (Ohmeda, Louisville, OH). The ear probe attachment was used, the probe paced on the thigh of the animal. Readings were made after a 30 sec stabilization time on each animal. Use of an earlier Ohmeda Model (3740) for measuring effects of influenza virus on SaO2 in mice has been previously described by Dr.s Sidwell and Pedersen15.
Lung Score Determinations: Each mouse lung removed and placed in a petri dish which, using a permanent black marker, had been divided into sections which were pre- numbered from 1 through 3 or, for placebo controls, 1 through 5. Each lung was assigned a score ranging from 0 (normal appearing lung) to 4 (maximal plum coloration in 100% of lung). These scores were assigned blindly, with the individual doing the scoring not being aware of what group was being examined. An arithmetic mean was determined for each group.
Lung Virus Titer Determinations: Each mouse lung was homogenized and varying dilutions assayed in triplicate for infectious virus in MDCK cells as described previously16. Each lung homogenate was
centrifuged at 2000 g for 5 min and the supernatents used in these assays.
Experimental Design: Groups of 19 mice were treated by oral gavage (p.o.) with either ASAP-AGX-32 or ASAP twice daily (every 12 h) for 7 days, then infected intranasally (i.n.) with an LD70 dose of
influenza virus, then treated an additional 10 days. A similar group of mice were treated p.o. with ribavirin at a dosage of 75 mg/kg/day twice daily for 5 days beginning 4h pre-virus exposure. The infection was achieved by anesthetizing the mice with an intraperitoneal injection of Ketamine at a dosage of 100 mg/kg and instilling 90 µl of suspended virus in minimum essential medium on the nares of the animals. As controls, 35 mice were treated with water using the identical schedule as used for the
ASAP materials and infected as above. Ten infected, test substance-treated mice and 20 water-treated controls were observed daily for deaths for 21 days after virus exposure, and SaO2 levels ascertained on days 3-11, which were the times when this parameter usually declines. From the remaining infected, treated animals, 3 test substance-treated and 5 water-treated control mice were killed on days 1, 3 and 6, and their lungs removed, assigned a consolidation score, weighed, and assayed for virus titer.
As toxicity controls, 3 uninfected mice were treated in parallel with each test material and observed for signs of adverse effects for 21 days. The weights of these mice as well as 5 normal controls were determined prior to initial treatment and again 18 h after final treatment to determine if the treatments
affected host weight gain. Three normal controls were also sacrificed on days 3 and 6 to provide background lung data.
Statistical Analysis
Increases in total survivors were evaluated by chi square analysis with Yates’ correction. Increases in
mean day to death, differences in mean SaO2 values, mean lung weight, and mean virus titers were analyzed by t-test. Only animals dying up to day 21 were considered for mean day to death calculations. The Wilcoxon ranked sum analysis was used for mean lung score comparisons. Each
statistical test was run using Excel software on a MacIntosh computer.
Results and Discussion
The results of this experiment are summarized in Table 1 and in Figures 1-4. As seen in Table 1, the virus challenge in this experiment was lethal to 14 of the 20 placebo-treated mice, with the mean day to
death being 8.4 days. Such a pattern of death is considered ideal for evaluation of potential antiviral agents. This optimal condition was verified by the observation that Ribavirin was fully protective to the
mice, preventing any deaths from occurring (Table 1), significantly lessening SaO2 declines (Figure 1), inhibiting lung score development (Figure 2), lung weight increase (Figure 3), and lung virus titer
increases (Figure 4).
Treatment with ASAP-AGX-32 appeared to not affect the numbers of animals dying of influenza, although a half-day delay in mean day to death was seen (Table 1). SaO2 declines in this group of treated mice were almost at the same rate as those in the placebo controls, although it was interesting
that on the first day this parameter was assayed, a highly significant (P<0.001) difference was seen (Figure 1). SaO2 declines are a manifestation of declining lung function, suggesting that the lung consolidation in the lungs did not progress as rapidly as seen in the placebo controls. The treatment appeared to moderately lessen lung consolidation as seen by lower lung scores on each time evaluated, the day 6 mean lung score being significantly (P<0.05) less than the placebo treated controls (Figure 2). Lung weights, another indication of fluid developing in the lungs to cause pneumonia in the animal, were also less at each time point than seen in the placebos (Figure 3). The mean lung virus titers in the
mice treated with ASAP-AGX-32 were lower than the placebo controls on days 3 and 6 of the infection (Figure 4).
Treatment with ASAP, which we understand is a less-concentrated version of ASAP-AGV- 32, also provided some intriguing results. Especially of interest was the observation that 60% of the infected mice treated with this compound survived compared to the 30% in the placebo-treated controls. Although not statistically significant because of the number which survived in the latter controls, this effect is strongly suggestive a disease-inhibitory effect may have occurred. At two time points during the SaO2 assays, days 3 and 6, the declines normally seen were significantly lessened (P<0.01), and
there was a general lessening of decline throughout the times of assay (Figure 1). Modest inhibition in lung scores were seen in this treated group as well, especially on day 6 (Figure 2); the lung weight data did not correlate too well with the lung scores, however (Figure 3). Again, slight inhibition of lung virus titers were seen in the ASAP- treated, infected mice (Figure 4).
Both the ASAP formulations were well tolerated by the toxicity control mice as seen by no deaths occurring in them and host weight increases observed during time of therapy. Ribavirin, while not lethal to the mice, did result in a 0.4 g host weight loss (Table 1); this was an expected effect for the latter material, since the maximum tolerated dose is approximately 100 mg/kg/day.
It is difficult to attribute the effects seen in this experiment wholly to viral inactivation, since both test materials were administered orally to animals infected by direct nasal inhalation, although the treatments began one week before virus exposure, so it is possible that a portion of the Silver Sol may
have been able to be in the vicinity of the virus-exposed lung tissue. It is also possible that this material is exerting a mild immunomodulatory effect in the animals, which would provide modest protection
against the infection. If such a mechanism is indeed associated with the potential activity seen, then a different treatment schedule, perhaps limiting the number of treatments to one per day or once every other day, may enhance any immune modulatory effects, since it is recognized that too-frequent dosing may overtax the immune system. The greater protection seen by the lower- dosed ASAP material could be explained by immunomodulation, since the greatest immunologic effect is not necessarily at the
highest dose used.
Another mechanism whereby the ASAP materials may have inhibited the influenza virus infection in these studies may simply be one of coating the virion with Silver Sol to prevent attachment and penetration. Again, the material would need to be in the vicinity of the exposed lung tissues at the time
infection was initiated. The Silver material could also play a role in limiting apoptosis of the epithelial lining of the lung induced during acute lung inflammation. Apoptosis plays a causative role in acute lung injury in part due to epithelial cell loss.
Further studies would have to be conducted to more fully delineate the actions of this material.
It is acknowledged that the effects seen in the present study, while of considerable interest, would need to be repeated to confirm that the observations were not due to mere chance. Consideration of combined use of oral administration of the ASAP materials and intranasal instillation at near
the time of virus exposure would determine
whether the effects seen were indeed
associated with virucidal effects of these
materials.
Summary
Mice infected with avian influenza A/Duck/MN/1525/81 (H5N1) virus were treated with the Silver Sol-containing formulations ASAP-AGX-32 and ASAP provided by American Biotech Labs. Oral gavage treatment began 7 days prior to virus exposure and continued twice daily for a total of 17 days. Treatments with both formulations provided a suggested inhibitory and preventive effect on this virus infection as seen by either less animals dying in the treated groups than in the placebo-treated
controls, delay in mean day to death, lessened SaO2 decline, modest inhibition of lung consolidation, and/or lessened virus titers in the lungs. Ribavirin was included as a positive control drug, used orally at a dose of 75 mg/kg/day twice daily for 5 days beginning 4 h pre-virus exposure, and this treatment was markedly inhibitory to the infection as expected.

The article quoted at the end of this post says:
“Admittedly, there is something very odd, and slightly disturbing, in the spectacle of a fight over who owns the DNA of a virus that could kill millions of people around the world. Should a country retain property rights to the strains of diseases that plague its citizens? There is also, as always, the niggling question of how the world is to fund the development of new vaccines if the few companies that are capable of producing the medicine aren’t compensated for their efforts. Finally, it would seem to me that there is a clear difference between a U.S. government agency owning a patent and a company such as GlaxoSmithKline staking the claim.”
DNA as property is a terrifying reality. When the US Supreme Court opined that genomes could be patented, the risk to the global biosphere was generally little recognized. Given the unstable and unpredictable consequences of biotechnology insertion of genes into host genomes, and the novel (and potentially harmful or lethal) molecules coded for by this process, the “ownership” of viral DNA sequences is even more ominous.
Weaponization of the avian flu has already taken place through
1. Combining the genome of “seasonal flu” viruses with the then-harmless H5N1 avian flu to find the combinations which yielded enhanced pathogenicity (NIH, 2006),
2. Reconstruction of the genome of the most successful bio weapon in history, the 1918 pandemic flu virus (NIH, Mt Sinai Med. Coll, 2000 – 2006)
3. Intentional combination of the H5N1 virus with the newly reconstructed 1918 pandemic flu genome (NIH, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, 2006).
Vaccines allegedly protective against this novel virus are then developed and, like the Sanofi-Pasteur vaccine manufactured in China after approval in the absence of formal human trials, sold to governments for vast sums of money (e.g., 100M doses @$15 US per dose) for stock piling.
Indonesia now says that it owns its valuable resource, the supposedly deadly Avian Flu virus. The United Nations issued a special report on the thorny question of whether a virus that kills someone in a particular country “belongs” to that country.
Besides the absurdity of owning life, and creating a totally artificial geographic demarcation through which to exercise control of that organism, the impetus to commercialize pathogens for nation states and predatory companies will, I fear, prove irresistible. Now add organized crime and rogue states (large or small) into the mix and you have a recipe far, far more toxic than the supposed pandemic Avian Flu.
Greed and technology are a deadly mix. If you doubt that, look at the so called “Health Care” system in the West and consider that since it makes no money if you are well, its best interest is served by the weaponization of food (i.e., Codex Alimentarius – see my video “Nutricide” on our website, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org or www.YouTube.com/NaturalSolutions) and the demonization of natural prevention and treatment so ubiquitous in the West.
Ownership of life forms, pathogenic or otherwise is, in short, a massive error and a monstrous reality which must be reversed for everyone’s benefit.
On August 21, Andrew Leonard wrote an article called Biopiracy and Bird Flu. That article, which follows, discusses the consequences of the confluence of the US Supreme Court’s decision to allow ownership of organisms, the unbridled greed and lack of ethics of the pharmaceutical/illness care industry and the horrifying reality of the depopulation agenda which, thanks to blatant hubris and Freedom of Information Act suits, is no longer speculation but fact.
Prince Phillip yearning to “come back” as an Ebola virus so that he can help depopulate the planet and Henry Kissinger’s Memo 200, the Council on Foreign Relations documents, the Phillipine Supreme Court’s finding that WHO vaccines did, indeed, contain permanent sterility agents which sterilized some 3 million unsuspecting women (and the use of the same technology in Africa, South and Central America, South East Asia and elsewhere) followed by the tardy admission of the World Health Organization that they were using such agents mixed into vaccines are part of a patchwork of death and global supremacy which is horrifyingly plain to see, yet tragically, criminally, perhaps, overlooked by the MMD (Media of Mass Deception).
The worm, or perhaps the virus, is turning now, though. Those very countries which would first be the targets of these depopulation plans and programs (the developed world is in the plan, too – Kissinger stated that depopulation should be the US’s first foreign policy priority starting with the third world, remember) have noticed that at least short term gains, but very substantial ones, can come from controlling, weaponizing and commercializing those lethal viruses among themselves. After all, once exposed to deadly agents like dioxin, ordinary viruses can mutate into very profitable killers. The US obligingly contaminated large parts of South East Asia with dioxin and other deadly poisons.
Moreover, vaccinated birds, not outside flocks, develop avian flu through mutations since they are raised in toxic environments (the birds in their industrialized chicken coops and the viruses in their poison-rich test tubes and growth bottles) and induced to mutation by those toxic conditions.
Now nations like Indonesia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Viet Nam and a host of others are ready for the Big Time: ready to develop, sell or license their deadly dollar cargo to the even bigger boys: the US, WHO or Big Pharma. All of this falls apart, of course, if the Bigger Boys get their hands and microscopes and vats on these “resources” first.
As events would have it, the fears that they will be done out of their valuable resources is quite accurate. Indonesia is not going to like the fact that a WHO affiliate, the CDC, has applied for a patent on the genome of the Indonesian Avian Flu. Nor will it be happy with the fact that GlaxoSmithKlein is manufacturing a “preventive” Avian Flu vaccine using strains from Viet Nam and elsewhere. So these fears about loosing significant revenue are not unfounded.
Do you find something wrong with this picture? The Natural Solutions Foundation certainly finds the trend, and the mindset, beyond ominous.
Let’s say you’ve got a lab, a virus and a hereditary tribe your people have been warring with for a thousand years. Like the “Islamic Nuclear Bomb” (or the Capitalist Nuclear Bomb), or Depleted Uranium or any other weapon of mass destruction, the mutated, weaponized virus in your tanks could be used on your enemies with the ever present justification that people build for themselves in situations like this. Or, if vaccines were to actually work, you could imagine giving the vaccine to your people and unleashing the disease on the other tribe.
Or, if you are the US, you could stockpile untested, not particularly safe or effective vaccines which would cause widespread… what? Illness? Death? Cancer? Infertility? Adult Autism? Novel vulnerabilities or diseases? Remember, there is no liability in the US for whatever a previously approved drug or vaccine does to you or your child or your mother or your ….
Merchants of death, indeed. Is this the world we want to leave to our children? What are you ready to do about it?

Now, here is the Salon.com article referred to above:
In late 2006, Indonesia sparked a furor in the international public health community when the country announced it would no longer supply samples of the H5N1 strain of bird flu to the World Health Organization. It wasn’t fair, complained the developing nation, which is second only to Vietnam in recorded cases of human deaths from bird flu: Indonesia was providing crucial data for researchers working on vaccines, but prices for proprietary pharmaceutical products resulting from that data were too high for most Indonesians to afford. If you want to understand why citizens of developing nations get aggrieved about biopiracy, there’s a clue.
After a flurry of worldwide publicity, Indonesia relented, and in March announced it would resume sending samples to the W.H.O., provided that the samples were not made available to commercial organizations. The debate over how best to serve the interests of both developing nations and pharmaceutical companies was by no means resolved, and according to the New York Times, Indonesia received only a tepid promise from W.H.O. “not to pass their samples on to commercial manufacturers without consulting the health minister of the country that provided the sample,” but a clear point had been made.
Now in what appears to be something of a scoop, a freelancer writer and specialist in patents has revealed that even as Indonesia was threatening to withhold its samples, the United States government was applying for an international patent on a new vaccine that incorporates genetic code derived from Indonesian avian influenza samples.
Writes Edward Hammond, in the Aug. 15 issues of SUNS:
In a development that is likely to raise more pressing questions about reform of the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN), an international patent application has surfaced in which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. National Institutes of Health claim ownership of Indonesian influenza genes.
A recent patent search has revealed that the CDC, which is a WHO collaborating centre, is applying for a patent for a new vaccine against influenza, particularly for bird flu (H5N1). The vaccine incorporates genes from a H5N1 strain isolated from an Indonesian human victim of bird flu in 2005.
The strain that contains the genes was transferred to the WHO GISN by Indonesia for characterization for public health purposes, but may wind up as the property of the US government.
Under U.S. law, the U.S. government agencies would offer licenses to the technology to pharmaceutical companies. The patent application indicates that the US government intends to pursue the claim in most countries of the world, including Indonesia itself, as well as neighboring countries.
One follower of intellectual property and public health at the blog IPMed found the patent application “troubling”:
The patent application raises specific questions about the US CDC, which is a WHO Collaborating Center for influenza virus studies. The WHO Collaborating Centers receive influenza viruses from donor countries for public health characterization purposes, and not for the purposes of making proprietary claims. The Global Influenza Surveillance Network’s effectiveness rests on the prompt sharing of and access to viruses from all donors. However, one wonders how many donor countries will wish to continue to share influenza viruses for research and vaccine development if it is that Governments who operate Collaborating Centers are minded to make proprietary claims over the materials which they have received as a result of the GISN system. Obviously this patent application built on the back of the GISN system of virus sharing will call into question the entire system and may very well undermine its effectiveness.
Admittedly, there is something very odd, and slightly disturbing, in the spectacle of a fight over who owns the DNA of a virus that could kill millions of people around the world. Should a country retain property rights to the strains of diseases that plague its citizens? There is also, as always, the niggling question of how the world is to fund the development of new vaccines if the few companies that are capable of producing the medicine aren’t compensated for their efforts. Finally, it would seem to me that there is a clear difference between a U.S. government agency owning a patent and a company such as GlaxoSmithKline staking the claim.
Unless, of course, the U.S. does end up licensing its patent to Big Pharma without requiring some developing nation equity, in return.
