Is Ionic Silver Destined to Save Hundreds of Millions From Disease?<\/strong>
\nIt will reach the world quickly or slowly depending on the financial interests that prevail<\/strong>
\nBy Jay Newman (August 21, 2013)
\n\u201cSilver makes antibiotics thousands of times more effective.\u201d<\/em> That was the headline of a scientific article published\u00a0in Nature<\/em> on June 19, 2013.[1] Nature<\/em> is one of the highest impact scientific publications in the world.
\nIn anybody\u2019s book, that\u2019s a pretty heavy-duty headline. While many people who are into silver as an investment and\u00a0as an intriguing form of money are already aware of the medical potential of silver, this is clearly big news.
\nYet, as big as those headlines are, there\u2019s a lot more to the story.
\nOn one hand, the news marks a significant leap forward towards the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent by the\u00a0pharmaceutical industry.
\nOn the other hand, though, this is just one piece of a much bigger story about the ability of silver to fight infection,\u00a0since it\u2019s been known for quite a while that ionic silver is unequaled at fighting infection and doing so with few or\u00a0none of the side effects of antibiotics. It\u2019s been out there as a not-so-hidden secret for a long time. The technology,\u00a0and its proven track record, has been evolving much faster than big business has been able to figure out ways to\u00a0make huge money on it. And therein lies the real story.
\nThis recent study will be accelerating the pace at which companies scramble to find ways to capitalize on ionic\u00a0silver \u2013 which is the only bioactive form of silver and was therefore the form used in that study.
\nThe research article itself on the study in question was published in Science Translational Medicine, one of the\u00a0most respected scientific publications in the world.[2] According to Robert Petersen, PhD, Associate Professor of\u00a0Pathology at Case Western Reserve University, \u201cThis takes silver out of the realm of alternative medicine with\u00a0anecdotal evidence and places it squarely in the realm of legitimate, respected science.\u201d
\nDr. Petersen goes on to say, \u201cFor the first time, the researchers have clearly spelled out the mechanism of action\u00a0by which ionic silver kills bacteria.\u201d
\nIt\u2019s quite noteworthy that the researchers pointed out two distinctly separate actions by which the silver ions killed\u00a0bacteria. One was by making the bacteria more permeable and thus more susceptible to antibiotics \u2013 hence the title\u00a0of the story in Nature. The second was by acting directly to kill the bacteria even in the absence of any antibiotics.
\nOne has to wonder why that latter aspect wasn\u2019t emphasized more. One can easily answer it, though. It\u2019s about\u00a0money. Indeed, the researchers have patent applications filed for the combination of silver ions with antibiotics for\u00a0treatment purposes. That\u2019s how the medical field works. That\u2019s how the world of Big Pharma works. Without\u00a0patents, there\u2019s no incentive to jump through the exorbitantly expensive and complex hoops required to obtain drug\u00a0approval.
\nAnd without drug approval \u2013 at least in the United States, Europe, and most of the modern world \u2013 the company\u00a0that sells the product is not allowed to mention to the public anything about the potential health benefits of the\u00a0product if those benefits have anything whatsoever to do with preventing or treating any \u201cdisease.\u201d
\nSo What Is Ionic Silver Anyway?<\/strong>
\nMost people can visualize that an atom, in an overly simplistic sense, resembles the solar system. There\u2019s the\u00a0nucleus in the center, like the sun, and all these electrons spinning around it, like the planets. In an ordinary atom,\u00a0which is what makes up most of the elements in our world, there\u2019s a perfect balance between the nucleus and the\u00a0number of electrons spinning around it. If, however, you remove an electron, which could be compared to removing\u00a0a planet from our symbolic solar system, you now have something that\u2019s very different indeed.
\nIn the case of silver, what makes up the metal is normal atoms. This is what makes up silver jewelry and just about\u00a0everything else you see that\u2019s made of silver. When you remove an electron from a silver atom, however, you\u00a0create a silver ion \u2013 also called ionic silver \u2013 which has very different properties than atoms that comprise the\u00a0metal. This is the form of silver that provides all the bioactive benefits associated with silver.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Silver ions are extremely bioactive and also extremely unstable. They will always seek out a partner to fill that\u00a0missing electron position. What that partner is will dramatically impact how that silver ion behaves.
\n(More on this below.)
\nU.S. Drug Law and its Connection to Profitability<\/strong>
\nIn the United States, \u201cdisease\u201d is anything the Government has added to its official list. Until a few years ago,\u00a0anxiety was just something people experienced. Now, it\u2019s an official disease \u2013 and as of that moment no company\u00a0has been allowed to mention in marketing that their products might help with anxiety. Until then, you could sell\u00a0nutritional supplements and make the connection. Now, it\u2019s illegal to do that without prior drug approval.
\nManufacturers only seek drug approval when the substances are patented. This usually means nature has never\u00a0seen it, but not always. Sometimes an isolated ingredient or improved delivery mechanism for a substance that\u2019s\u00a0still in the \u201cnatural substance\u201d category can result in patent protection. What is for sure, though, is that without\u00a0patents, and thus a monopoly, no company ever invests in the costs of obtaining drug approval in the U.S., which\u00a0means no company can inform the public that the product might help with a disease.
\nThis has posed quite a dilemma where ionic silver is concerned. After all, silver has been around in various forms\u00a0for well over a thousand years, and while news about its antimicrobial benefits has spread over the years, no\u00a0company is currently allowed to actually market any silver product for internal human use with even a hint of a\u00a0suggestion that it can fight germs or do anything to help with disease. At most, they can say it supports the immune\u00a0system.
\nIonic Silver\u2019s Credentials<\/strong>
\nThe article in Nature had this as the subtitle: \u201cAncient antimicrobial treatment could help to solve modern bacterial\u00a0resistance.\u201d Ancient is obviously a hint that it\u2019s not all that new.
\nThe results of a study conducted at Rice University in Texas were published July 11, 2012 by R&D Magazine, with\u00a0the title \u201cIons, not particles, make silver toxic to bacteria.\u201d[3] The study was conducted in an effort to settle the\u00a0debate over whether nanoparticles of silver are antimicrobial or whether, as the researchers concluded, it\u2019s only the\u00a0silver ions released from the nanoparticles that kill bacteria.
\nThe story in R&D Magazine states, \u201cScientists have long known that silver ions, which flow from nanoparticles\u00a0when oxidized, are deadly to bacteria. Silver nanoparticles are used just about everywhere, including in cosmetics,\u00a0socks, food containers, detergents, sprays and a wide range of other products to stop the spread of germs.\u201d
\n(Make a mental note of that last sentence \u2013 that says silver is used just about everywhere. We\u2019re going to come\u00a0back to that in clearly making our point that profit is what will determine how soon we can start to save hundreds of\u00a0millions of people from disease by utilizing the germ-killing properties of silver ions.)
\nIn 2008, Applied and Environmental Microbiology published a research article entitled \u201cAntibacterial Activity and\u00a0Mechanism of Action of the Silver Ion in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.\u201d[4]\nWe can go on and on, but the point is clear. Silver ions kill germs; that\u2019s been very well established.
\nSo why don\u2019t we hear about the utility of silver in mainstream news every day? Well, in the U.S. it\u2019s because of the\u00a0Food and Drug Administration and what some people call \u201ccensorship\u201d of anything that hasn\u2019t gone through the\u00a0hoops required to obtain permission to share information with the public. You\u2019d like to think that in today\u2019s world the\u00a0public has the ability to quickly educate itself on just about anything it wants, but the FDA says you\u2019re not smart\u00a0enough to decide what is or is not good for you, so it prohibits companies from suggesting that their product might\u00a0help a disease unless they were first granted that approval by the FDA. This usually costs tens and often hundreds\u00a0of millions of dollars and takes years.
\nAnd no company spends that kind of money unless, a) they have it, and b) they can profit from it.
\nWithout FDA drug approval, there will be no lifting of the \u201cstatutory\u201d censorship.
\nOh, the information can be discussed in the news and in articles and studies, but nobody making or selling silver\u00a0products can suggest that those products might be able to help fight a disease. The public has to get it secondhand\u00a0somehow, not from anyone with a product to sell you.
\nDisease as a Business<\/strong>
\nBut what of the free enterprise system? Isn\u2019t it supposed to enable the best to rise to the top? Well, in this case, as\u00a0in most cases, it helps the man with the gold make the rules. The influence of Big Pharma on the FDA is massive\u00a0(as well as on the Federal Trade Commission, which often partners with the FDA in enforcing this censorship on\u00a0the potential benefits of natural products \u2013 if the FDA hasn\u2019t approved it as a drug then any claim made about\u00a0potentially helping to fight disease is regarded as being \u201cfalse and misleading\u201d by default). The Government helps\u00a0protect the interests of Big Pharma while keeping natural products in the shadows, preventing the public from\u00a0learning about the ways natural products can help prevent and treat disease. The deck is stacked against natural\u00a0products. Who can afford to invest in studies to \u201cprove\u201d things when they know they can\u2019t use the result of those\u00a0studies in their advertising unless they have patents and the resultant monopoly that justifies investing a king\u2019s
\nransom? And so it goes.
\nThe way the FDA regulations end up working is that makers of \u201cnatural\u201d products are almost completely excluded\u00a0from making disease claims while patented substances created in the lab by Big Pharma are \u201cmade to order\u201d for\u00a0the drug approval process. But how do you patent a natural substance like silver \u2013 or, more specifically, silver ions\u00a0\u2013 in order to make the big bucks on it?
\nSo, we\u2019ve had these dual realities going on. On one hand, it\u2019s well known by experts that ionic silver has all these\u00a0qualities. On the other hand, the information is largely censored while Big Pharma wrestles to find a way to make\u00a0the big bucks on it \u2013 and looks for a way to continue profiting from the antibiotic market.
\nAntibiotics are, in and of themselves, one of the biggest threats to the welfare of mankind on the planet today.
\nMRSA (pronounced MER-suh) is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. VRE is Vancomycin-resistant\u00a0Enterococcus. These are very common, very deadly pathogens that didn\u2019t exist until the over-use of antibiotics\u00a0caused them to develop. In both cases, the strain of super-bug is actually named after the antibiotics that caused\u00a0them and that simply do not work against them.
\nThese super-bugs evolved due to natural mutation and the tendency of bacteria to adapt to survive under adverse\u00a0conditions \u2013 a scenario that is very problematic with antibiotics. While the possibility exists for this to occur with\u00a0ionic silver as well, the likelihood is far less with silver than with antibiotics. According to Philip M. Tierno, PhD,\u00a0Professor of Clinical Microbiology and Pathology at New York University Medical Center and author of The Secret\u00a0Life of Germs (Atria Books 2004), “Silver is a natural antibacterial that fights germs with much less fear of\u00a0developing resistance.”[5]\n\u201cAntibiotics Resistance ‘as Big a Risk as Terrorism’ – Medical Chief\u201d is the title of an article published by BBC News\u00a0on March 11, 2013.[6]\nIt\u2019s not just the use of antibiotics for infection, but the fact that by now antibiotics are in the food and water supplies\u00a0worldwide. Yet, the push to market more antibiotics seems to be inevitable. The profit to be gained is far too great.
\nI want to point out here that, obviously government agencies like the FDA and FTC are not like the Borg on Star\u00a0Trek \u2013 they\u2019re not comprised of a single, unified, collective mind. Many good people work at those agencies. The\u00a0same goes for pharmaceutical companies. The problems lie in the mixing of government regulations with\u00a0healthcare, and with the obscene level of influence the pharmaceutical industry has on government. Many people in\u00a0the system are decent, well-intentioned people, with no idea about the sinister motivations and actions that\u00a0corporate greed leads to, and how it pollutes and perverts the systems they work in.<\/p>\n

Pharmaceutical companies are publicly traded companies whose legal duty it is to pursue profits above all else, as\u00a0long as it\u2019s within the law. It\u2019s the fiduciary responsibility of the people in charge to pursue more profits for the\u00a0shareholders, which means more sales of their products, larger market share and a larger customer base. It means\u00a0sell more drugs. It means influence government and the school system to your profit-driven ends. Nowhere does\u00a0any of that jibe with seeing the public healthier and in less need of medicine. It\u2019s about profit, and quite\u00a0unapologetically so.<\/p>\n

This is not helping the health of the people of planet Earth at all. The problem of antibiotics continues. And it\u2019s not\u00a0new. This is a massive problem that the world needs to deal with on numerous levels.
\nA December 2009 report in the medical journal The Lancet was entitled, \u201cUrgently Needed: New Antibiotics.\u201d[7] The\u00a0report stated the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cWHO has identified antibiotic resistance as one of the greatest threats to human health. Yet prospects for replacing current antimicrobial drugs are poor.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In April 2010, the Infectious Disease Society of America went even further. It put out an urgent call for the leaders of the world to address this issue, and for the medical field to develop \u201c10 new anti-infective drugs by 2020.\u201d[8] The report began with the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come for a global commitment to develop new antibacterial drugs. Current data document the impending disaster due to the confluence of decreasing investment in antibacterial drug research and development concomitant with the documented rapid increase in the level of resistance to currently licensed drugs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The pharmaceutical industry responded by saying there\u2019s not enough profit in it for them to do that, and that they\u2019re\u00a0focused on more profitable areas like medications for cholesterol and anxiety. And the world essentially just said,\u00a0\u201cOkay, we understand.\u201d That\u2019s the bizarre world we have accepted. In fact, Big Pharma asked governments to\u00a0subsidize the effort, even though only the Pharma companies would profit on the resultant sales! And without that\u00a0footing of the bill it isn\u2019t happening. The profit gains aren\u2019t worth it.
\nIf it\u2019s going to be a matter of free enterprise and free markets, then we need to let anyone say whatever they want\u00a0about the potential health benefits and potential \u201cdisease\u201d benefits of their product, and let the consumer decide\u00a0what\u2019s what. If we\u2019re going to have the Government get involved, it should be only when it has seen reasonable\u00a0evidence that a product is unsafe for the public or a company is being unethical. As it stands today, a company\u00a0wanting to sell a health product that might help with a \u201cdisease\u201d is considered guilty of harming or misleading the\u00a0public unless it first \u201cproves\u201d through exorbitant steps that it isn\u2019t. Guilty until proven innocent. And, ironically, silver\u00a0is known to be entirely safe with normal, responsible use. (For the U.S. Government\u2019s clear statements of this fact,\u00a0and for guidance on how to safely ingest any silver product, see www.silversafety.com<\/a>.)
\nLet\u2019s give an equal, fair playing field to the smaller player with natural products who can\u2019t afford to or can\u2019t\u00a0financially justify hundreds of millions of dollars to \u201cprove\u201d their product is safe and effective for helping prevent or\u00a0treat a \u201cdisease\u201d \u2013 whatever that word \u201cdisease\u201d even means, really. Without FDA drug approval, selling a product\u00a0with so much as the \u201cintention\u201d of helping to prevent or treat a disease can shut a company down. Yes, believe it or\u00a0not, that is the language in the statutes: \u201cintention.\u201d Health care and free enterprise can work when good, smart\u00a0people with ethics, integrity, and principles are in the business for the right reasons. Remove the impediments\u00a0currently imposed by the FDA and the FTC, and the flow of information that can benefit the public\u2019s health will open\u00a0up nicely. Until then, antibiotics are a multi-billion-dollar industry and the public is in growing danger every day as a\u00a0result.
\nIonic Silver\u2019s Coming of Age<\/strong>
\nHow close are we to seeing ionic silver take up the slack? It\u2019s all about who can profit. The technology is already\u00a0here. The track records are already established. What\u2019s delaying ionic silver from making the world safer is that Big\u00a0Pharma doesn\u2019t own it and can\u2019t profit from it.
\nThe term \u201ccolloidal\u201d silver is familiar to many people. It\u2019s the form of silver that people can make at home with\u00a0simple equipment. It is also still sold in bottles today. It\u2019s the form that Big Pharma used more than a hundred years\u00a0ago, before we understood the chemistry behind it \u2013 and before the advent of the FDA and the laws that prohibit\u00a0disease claims without first obtaining FDA drug approval.
\nWhat that Rice University study did was to provide an \u201canswer to the decade-old question\u201d, as the article in R&D\u00a0Magazine put it, and to spell out that it\u2019s only silver \u201cions\u201d that kill germs, while \u201ccolloidal\u201d \u2013 or \u201cnano\u201d \u2013 particles of\u00a0silver are almost entirely just inert, inactive silver metal, unless and until they oxidize and release some of their\u00a0silver as silver ions. And it seems only a small portion of the silver in \u201ccolloidal\u201d or \u201cnano\u201d silver particles ends up\u00a0going through that conversion before it leaves the body; the vast majority just remains as inert silver metal, like
\njewelry, and serves no use at all.
\nThe more efficient approach by far, therefore, is obviously to start with silver ions in the first place and to provide\u00a0\u201call\u201d of the silver in the ionic form. But since silver ions are unstable, a time-released delivery mechanism is needed.\u00a0Achieve that, and you have one powerful substance. In the R&D Magazine article, Pedro Alvarez, George R. Brown\u00a0Professor and Chair of Rice\u2019s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, is quoted as saying, \u201cThe key\u00a0determinant of toxicity [to bacteria]is the silver ions. So the focus should be on mass-transfer processes and
\ncontrolled-release mechanisms.\u201d
\nIn order to achieve controlled release that\u2019s appropriate for the given environment, you need an appropriate carrier\u00a0agent. In fact, all of those household and industrial products mentioned in the statement about silver being \u201cused\u00a0just about everywhere\u201d have some form or another of controlled-release agent to slowly release the silver ions. In\u00a0some cases (as with \u201ccolloidal\u201d or \u201cnano\u201d silver), the slow release is achieved by simply allowing small particles of\u00a0silver to oxidize over time, just as iron rusts through oxidation. But that process is way too slow to be at all efficient\u00a0in the human body.
\nThe recent study reported on in Nature was conducted on mice. It used \u201csilver nitrate\u201d, which is essentially free\u00a0silver ions with no controlled release at all. That\u2019s not going to work well in the human body, and certainly not with\u00a0oral delivery. The silver ions would be mostly neutralized by chlorides in the system, which would bind up with them\u00a0before they got to the place where they\u2019re needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For internal human use, what\u2019s needed is a product containing all of its silver as ions and utilizing a cutting-edge\u00a0understanding of chemistry to release silver ions in the body efficiently and effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpti-Silver\u201d Enters the Game<\/strong>
\nActually, a controlled-release silver ion product for human use has already been developed. Based on its unique\u00a0time-release mechanism, it has solid patent protection in the U.S., with foreign patents issued and pending as well.\u00a0I am the founder and CEO of the company that manufactures this compound.
\nThe technology is called \u201cOpti-Silver\u201d, an ionic silver complex combining silver ions with citrate with potassium as a\u00a0counter-ion for optimal solubility and controlled release in the human body. \u201cOpti-Silver\u201d is the key ingredient in both\u00a0our consumer product, \u201cSilver 100\u201d, and in our professional-use product, \u201cProSilver 240\u201d, sold through licensed\u00a0healthcare practitioners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For a very clear understanding of the chemistry behind our technology \u2013 and behind that of all \u201ccolloidal\u201d silver\u00a0products as well, for that matter \u2013 see the 45-minute recorded webinar at www.prosilver240.com\/webinar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have sold a few hundred thousand bottles of our products to date, strictly as a \u201cdietary supplement.\u201d We have\u00a0not as yet conducted any studies to prove it does anything beneficial at all in the human body; therefore, we do not\u00a0\u2013 and cannot by law \u2013 make any such claims in any of our advertising or labeling.
\nThe track record speaks for itself, however, as do the quotes from the experts in the field.
\nChanging the Face of Disease Right Now<\/strong>
\nWe have a video interview with a nurse reporting on one elderly patient who had VRE, MRSA, C. diff, pneumonia\u00a0and gangrene who was given only a few days to live. The nurse said, \u201cIntravenous antibiotics weren\u2019t touching it.\u201d\u00a0The family insisted the hospital use our \u201cSilver 100\u201d product and in a few days everything was testing normal or\u00a0close to it. The woman survived. The hospital lab work shows the white blood cell count at a critical level and\u00a0elevating rapidly \u2013 and almost instantly after our product was introduced it peaked and then came right down to\u00a0normal, and it remained there.[9]\nThe nurse further reports in that interview that a co-worker became infected with HIV from an accidental needle\u00a0stick, and after using our product the viral readings went from extremely high to \u201cundetectable.\u201d
\n(To see that 7-minute talk she gave, see www.argentechinc.com\/nurse<\/a>. And see the chart showing the woman\u2019s\u00a0white blood cell count go from critical to normal as soon as the \u201cSilver 100\u201d was introduced.)
\nA popular book on Lyme disease recommends our product above all others. Out of 200,000 bottles sold over six\u00a0years, not a single customer has taken us up on our unconditional money-back guarantee out of dissatisfaction with\u00a0the product.
\nBill Deagle, MD, of NutriMedical, reported during a live radio interview I did with him recently an almost identical\u00a0situation to what the nurse experienced. He said that the patient was in the hospital and given only a few days to\u00a0live, so they tried the Silver 100 and within one day he literally walked out the front door. Dr. Deagle said, \u201cHe didn\u2019t\u00a0go to the morgue \u2013 he went home.\u201d[10] Dr. Deagle calls our technology, \u201cAs much of an advancement in the\u00a0medical field as the printing press and microchip were in their field.\u201d
\nConsumers and physicians have been using the \u201cOpti-Silver\u201d products for a huge range of minor and severe\u00a0conditions, both acute and chronic. Herbert Slavin, MD, Director of the Institute for Advanced Medicine in\u00a0Lauderhill, Florida, reported that a patient with hepatitis B and C used the Silver 100 product for 90 days, that no\u00a0other treatment was used, and that in that time period their indictors went from extremely elevated to \u201cnormal.\u201d In a\u00a0report he summarized the result by saying, \u201cThe treatment is dramatically successful.\u201d[11]\nCommon cold, flu, food poisoning, sore throat, ear infection, urinary tract infections, topical conditions \u2013 the list\u00a0goes on and on. Dr. Timothy Kingsbury, an osteopathic physician in Maine, used our ProSilver 240 product in his\u00a0practice for four months with patients who had a wide range of infectious conditions that were not responding to\u00a0other treatments. He then stated in an interview that with all his patients whose infectious conditions would not\u00a0respond to any other form of treatment over the four-month period \u201cthe success rate with Opti-Silver has been\u00a0staggering \u2013 well over 80%.\u201d
\nAs to the difference between our technology and other silver products in the natural-health space, Roger Leblanc,\u00a0PhD, a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Miami and formerly head of their Department of Chemistry, has\u00a0called our technology \u201clight-years ahead of anything else on the market for internal human use.\u201d Dr. Leblanc is said\u00a0by some of his colleagues to be one of the top hundred chemists in the world. Donald Baird, PhD, is a Professor of\u00a0Chemistry at Nova Southeastern University and was the former head of the Department of Chemistry at Florida\u00a0Atlantic University. He has called our technology \u201cbrilliant, ingenious, unprecedented\u201d, \u201cthe only product utilizing an\u00a0understanding of modern chemistry\u201d, and \u201cbetween a few hundred and a few thousand times more efficient than\u00a0anything else on the market.\u201d
\nYet in our advertising we cannot legally so much as hint at potential disease benefits. We have to raise money, do\u00a0studies, and either play ball with Big Pharma through patent licensing (do we really want to do that?) and\/or\u00a0continue to market it in the natural health field as a dietary supplement with no disease claims in the marketing. We\u00a0do have a study planned at one of the world\u2019s largest clinical research centers for pediatric drugs, though. Things\u00a0are going to be getting interesting.<\/p>\n

Jockeying for Position<\/strong><\/p>\n

The natural products field has these \u201ccolloidal\u201d silver products that are reasonably effective if used in huge\u00a0quantities but that employ antiquated chemistry that has been around for more than a hundred years. Since it\u2019s\u00a0easy to make and perhaps as many as a few hundred companies make and sell it, and few consumers really\u00a0understand the chemistry behind it, the field has been overwhelmingly dominated by the few companies that have\u00a0been the most egregious in making fraudulent marketing claims. For those reasons, the \u201ccolloidal\u201d silver category\u00a0can never become mainstream.
\nThen there\u2019s our patented ionic silver complex, which is available and on the market today but which to date has\u00a0been sold with no marketing claims that so much as hint at any potential disease benefits.
\nAnd, of course, there\u2019s Big Pharma, which is struggling to find a way to keep the health benefits of ionic silver quiet\u00a0so the smaller, \u201cnatural products\u201d companies that make silver products can\u2019t educate and inform the marketplace\u00a0and potentially take huge market share, and Pharma can hopefully own the entire space. The information about the\u00a0benefits of ionic silver is starting to flow from the mainstream scientific community more lately, but the medical field\u00a0is the only place Big Pharma wants the news to be occurring. They want to quiet the flow of information on the
\nbenefits of non-drug products that contain ionic silver.
\nI mean they really, really want to quiet that flow of information. After all, if they can\u2019t make money on it, it\u2019s\u00a0competition. Their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders requires them to stem the flow of any information\u00a0that could help the competition if they can legally get away with it. Who cares if it\u2019s preventing those natural product\u00a0makers from saving potentially hundreds of millions of people from disease and saving countless lives? There are\u00a0annual reports to be bolstered.
\nAnd how are they quieting the flow of that information?
\nThe FDA already prohibits disease claims in the absence of drug approval. But there\u2019s still a problem here.\u00a0Remember all those products using silver that are \u201ceverywhere\u201d? We\u2019re not talking about internal human use now.\u00a0We\u2019re talking about mops, brooms, keyboards, sneakers, cutting boards, washing machines, doorknobs and so on.\u00a0Not to mention many products in the industrial and medical fields.
\nCensorship Reaches New Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where it gets really funky.<\/p>\n

In 1999, there was a press release about DuPont toothbrushes using ionic silver to inhibit the growth of bacteria.\u00a0Over the following few years, a whole series of press releases came out on other household and industrial products\u00a0using ionic silver.[12] By 2006 they were coming out in rapid fire. The manufacturers had press releases, websites,\u00a0product ads and labeling speaking about the wonders of ionic silver and how powerful an antibacterial and antiviral\u00a0agent it is while exhibiting no toxic effects to the human body and having only a minimal likelihood of causing\u00a0resistant strains of germs.
\nSo Big Pharma orchestrated a years-long campaign that was ostensibly to protect us from the possibility that we\u00a0\u201cmight\u201d find out in the future that silver ions are bad for the environment \u2013 in spite of the fact that that\u2019s where silver\u00a0comes from and the ionic form becomes completely inert really fast. Big Pharma is very conscious about the\u00a0environment \u2013 as evidenced by all those antibiotics going into the environment.
\nBig Pharma managed to leverage the Environmental Protection Agency into doing something about it. Oh, they\u00a0didn\u2019t slow down the release of silver ions into the environment. What the EPA did was to classify mops, keyboards,\u00a0toothbrushes and so on as \u201cpesticides\u201d, and take the position that the manufacturers have to either stop releasing\u00a0silver ions into the environment OR stop informing the public in the advertising and labeling that the active\u00a0ingredient is silver ions! If they say the active ingredient is silver ions, they have to go through all the years of hoops\u00a0for \u201cpesticide\u201d approval. If they keep silent about it, they don\u2019t have to do that. It\u2019s the censorship enforced by the\u00a0FDA on products sold for disease use for humans, only now it applies to \u201ceverything.\u201d
\nAround 2007 the flow of information to the public just stopped. The products kept coming out and are \u201ceverywhere\u201d\u00a0today. Their labeling and ads say they fight bacteria, but not that ionic silver is the reason.
\nSo, now you know that in virtually all cases when you see \u201cAntimicrobial\u201d on the package, it\u2019s ionic silver that\u2019s the\u00a0active ingredient. But don\u2019t expect to see that fact in any press releases or product advertising.
\nYou can find that information if you really dig, but it\u2019s not easy. Clorox, for instance, has huge shelf space today in\u00a0major department stores with a broad line of cleaning products, from rubber gloves to plungers to dust pans; over a\u00a0dozen products in all. They all say \u201cAntimicrobial\u201d in huge letters on the packaging. But to find out that the active\u00a0ingredient is silver, you have to go to their corporate information website.[13]\nI have a 3M Gel Wrist Rest for my keyboard. The ads and packaging say \u201cAntimicrobial\u201d in big letters. My fivefinger\u00a0sneakers, the same. Same for the DAP caulking I use for window sills. It\u2019s \u201ceverywhere.\u201d
\nBut you\u2019re not supposed to know what the active ingredient is. The U.S. Government is protecting you.
\nIn reality, it\u2019s the unsavory influence of Big Pharma at hand, as it does what it can to censor the flow of information\u00a0and slowly moves to protect and grow its monopoly in the field of antimicrobial medicine.
\nSea Change That Cannot Be Stopped<\/strong>
\nIonic silver is the future of antimicrobial medicine. (Actually, I like to refer to ionic silver as the \u201canti-medicine.\u201d) It will\u00a0be interesting to see how things pan out, and who ends up making a difference first.
\nThis recent study showing ionic silver making antibiotics more than a thousand times more effective was conducted\u00a0with mice, using silver nitrate (essentially free silver ions). There\u2019s a long way to go before they can create a\u00a0product that provides the essential \u201ccontrolled release\u201d of silver ions in humans, let alone go through the hoops for\u00a0drug approval.
\nIt could be decades. But it is inevitable.
\nOf course, then there\u2019s us, and the fact that we already have all of that, except for the FDA drug approval.
\nIt\u2019s very clear that the antimicrobial benefits of ionic silver have been known for a very long time. Delivery has been\u00a0a challenge, but is no longer. Now, it\u2019s all about business \u2013 all about who can make a profit on it and who can\u00a0navigate the regulatory environment effectively.
\nThe June 2013 article in Nature states:<\/p>\n

Like werewolves and vampires, bacteria have a weakness: silver. The precious metal has been used to fight infection for thousands of years \u2014 Hippocrates first described its antimicrobial properties in 400 BC \u2014 but how it works has been a mystery. Now, a team led by James Collins, a biomedical engineer at Boston University in Massachusetts, has described how silver can disrupt bacteria, and shown that the ancient treatment could help to deal with the thoroughly modern scourge of antibiotic resistance. The work is published today in Science Translational Medicine.
\n\u201cResistance is growing, while the number of new antibiotics in development is dropping,\u201d says Collins. \u201cWe wanted to find a way to make what we have work better.\u201d
\nCollins and his team found that silver \u2014 in the form of dissolved ions \u2014 attacks bacterial cells in two main ways: it makes the cell membrane more permeable, and it interferes with the cell\u2019s metabolism, leading to the overproduction of reactive, and often toxic, oxygen compounds. Both mechanisms could potentially be harnessed to make today\u2019s antibiotics more effective against resistant bacteria, Collins says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But how much do we even need the antibiotics, really? Can we perhaps drastically cut down on their use while\u00a0drastically reducing infectious disease as well \u2013 by moving to ionic silver? And can we do it today?
\nIt\u2019s very important to note that, while Collins is concluding that the reason this is cool information from his study is\u00a0because it can make antibiotics more effective, he\u2019s also saying that the ionic silver does very well on its own\u00a0without any antibiotics.
\nIn a story about his study in the L.A. Times, they report that in one portion of the study ionic silver was compared to\u00a0an antibiotic separately from one another, and the ionic silver worked five times as well as the antibiotic.[14]\nAnd Dr. Petersen of Case Western stated that, \u201cThis new study shows that ionic silver makes the bacteria more\u00a0susceptible to the antibiotics, and they explain the mechanism of action by which that occurs, but in addition that\u00a0same mechanism of action also makes the bacteria more susceptible to the immune system.\u201d
\nOf course, there\u2019s no money in that for them. They don\u2019t have patent applications filed on that. So who can blame\u00a0them for downplaying it? Besides, they can\u2019t even achieve the essential time-released delivery of silver ions in the\u00a0human body without infringing on our patent.
\nAnd I\u2019m out to bring this to the masses in the next few years, not in the ten or twenty years it will take Big Pharma.
\nBig Pharma won\u2019t like it. Oh, well. They can still sell drugs for anxiety, since they have that monopoly.
\nHow will we inform the public? Well, the public is getting pretty smart on its own. I can\u2019t imagine that all that much\u00a0can be censored these days. I have faith in the people, and in good people influencing the system. The wiser\u00a0people become, as we evolve as a species, the more we improve the systems.
\nEven Dr. Oz reported on his TV show last November that silver is one of the most important things for people to be\u00a0using.[15]\nSilver has been a constituent of our food and water supply forever. The EPA has for years said that it\u2019s entirely\u00a0safe, with zero negative effects, if consumed within certain intake guidelines it has set, which it applies to the\u00a0guidelines for how much silver is in our water supply.[16] Our product label results in only 25% of that amount being\u00a0consumed per day. Indeed, more than 85% of the silver that was in the average American\u2019s diet more than 100\u00a0years ago has been depleted through modern agriculture. As we see it, we\u2019re just supplementing a natural\u00a0substance that\u2019s been depleted. All minerals have to be in the ionic state to be biologically beneficial in any way in\u00a0the body. What we\u2019re doing is perfectly natural.
\nSo is wanting to help save millions of people from disease. But we\u2019re not allowed to sell our product for that\u00a0purpose. So we don\u2019t. We sell it as a dietary supplement. And we trust nature and the intelligence of the people to\u00a0do their thing.
\nOf course, we have strategic plans in place to dramatically change the game.
\nYes, I\u2019m out to make money \u2013 and at the same time to make a difference and contribute. I used to have the same\u00a0attorney and accountant as Steven Jobs, and had the same VC who put Apple on the map looking at funding me. It\u00a0was Ross Perot who persuaded me to follow my passion and make a difference by expanding the impact that\u00a0natural health and healing has on the world. And here we are now.
\nReally good people with lots of money, lots of integrity, and lots of business sense can really change the world for\u00a0the better \u2013 and even do so at a very healthy profit. I\u2019m absolutely convinced of that. Ionic silver will be reaching the\u00a0masses, sooner rather than later. This is a tidal wave that is unstoppable.
\nOpti-Silver Will Make a Difference<\/strong>
\nWhen we announced our technology, Mary Meeker, who was at the time the managing head of technology\u00a0investments for Morgan Stanley, and who is the legendary visionary who funded Microsoft, Dell, AOL and Amazon\u00a0from tiny to huge, stated, \u201cWith this technology, the company has the potential to have a billion-dollar company and\u00a0make history changing the world of antibiotics, both from a financial point of view and a humanitarian point of view.\u201d
\nShe couldn\u2019t fund us, however, because we were not a public company.
\nNote what she said there: change the world \u201cfrom a financial point of view and a humanitarian point of view.\u201d
\nHow prevalent is that kind of talk in the financial world? That, to me, is where the rubber meets the road.
\nI\u2019ve had offers for millions in funding from venture capitalists and investment bankers, and have turned them down\u00a0because what we have is too important to risk involvement with people who are only after the money. Sure,\u00a0business has to thrive to reach the masses, but profit at all costs can kill a company just as well as grow it. With\u00a0committed investors who care about saving people from disease, we can do great things. At least that\u2019s my\u00a0conviction. I\u2019m surrounded by many great people who are in complete agreement with this philosophy.
\n(One of these days I hope to create a company bringing investors and entrepreneurs together who hold as their\u00a0priorities \u201chow to make lots of money while doing good for society and the planet and for each other.\u201d Personally, I\u00a0have no idea why that isn\u2019t the norm already and I can\u2019t interact with people who don\u2019t function at that level. I truly\u00a0believe that as we continue to evolve, society is growing in that direction.)
\nAfter spending half a day in my office discussing the \u201cOpti-Silver\u201d technology and our game plan, the vice president\u00a0of the Gold Coast Venture Capital Association said to me, \u201cYou\u2019re sitting on a potential gold mine. I can easily see\u00a0this company sold for half-a-billion dollars in five years. I want to introduce some investors.\u201d I said, \u201cFine, but first\u00a0you should know that I only allow investors who care as much that we\u2019re saving millions of people from disease as\u00a0they care that they stand to make a lot of money, who respect natural healing, and with whom I\u2019ll share a mutually
\nsupportive, mutually trusting relationship. This is too important for anything less. That kind of shared values and\u00a0vision is what will ensure our success.\u201d
\nHe made a face indicating utter confusion and said, \u201cI don\u2019t know any investors like that. I\u2019ve never even heard of\u00a0any investors like that. They\u2019re only out to make money, and they\u2019ll screw you any chance they get. But so what?\u00a0That\u2019s why you have lawyers.\u201d
\nI said, \u201cI already have plenty of small investors who meet those criteria, most of whom came from our customer\u00a0base. Nobody is going to tell me I can\u2019t find a few wealthy people who fit that description.\u201d
\nHe said, \u201cThat\u2019s like one percent. How are you going to find them?\u201d
\nI said, \u201cI know, and that\u2019s my job. That\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do. Watch me.\u201d
\nAnd that is indeed what I\u2019m currently smack in the middle of doing.
\nStay tuned.
