Bioactivity of Colloidal Silver is No Surprise - Infectious Disease and Nanotechnology An Introduction by Mitchell Cotter
Tamiflu anti-viral drug revealed as complete hoax; Roche studies based on scientific fraud - A groundbreaking article recently published in the British Medical Journal accuses Roche of misleading governments and physicians over the benefits of Tamiflu. Out of the ten studies cited by Roche, it turns out, only two were ever published in science journals. And where is the original data from those two studies? Lost. The data has disappeared. Files were discarded. The researcher of one study says he never even saw the data. Roche took care of all that, he explains.
EUROPE ENTERS A NUTRITION SCIENCE DARK AGE - By Attorney Jonathan Emord - Under European Commission regulations no food supplement may be lawfully sold anywhere in Europe unless EFSA scientists opine that the food supplement is both safe and bioavailable as “substantiated by generally accepted scientific evidence.” EFSA makes that determination in response to dossiers submitted from the regulated companies. If no dossier is submitted for a nutrient either because the science required cannot be obtained affordably or because no one has the resources to pursue the claim, EFSA condemns the nutrient, deeming it inappropriate for market. Moreover, it has refused to allow claims of health benefit for a whole host of products. These are the very same products that have been legally sold in Europe for decades without any significant injury to the population.
URGENT HEALTH FREEDOM ACTION ALERT! - Four urgent health actions alerts. The first is the mandatory vaccine threat for the swine flu (and all mandatory vaccine freedom issues). Needless to say support for vaccine choice is a basic right in a free country. The second is Health freedom lawsuits from Jonathan Emord, Esq., against the FDA’s over-reaching regulation of the nutritional supplement industry and it’s persistent suppression of reasonable health claims. The third is several new health freedom bills introduced by Congressman Ron Paul. Please help support these. The last item is the “Food Safety Bill S510/HR2749”, which does little for food safety, while dangerously increasing the power of the FDA and harms small farms, while promoting huge agri-business.
Colloidal Silver Has Mainstream Medicine Singing the Blues - If the public were told the truth, a rarity when it comes to mainstream drugs versus natural competition, colloidal silver would represent a huge threat to literally billions of dollars of profits and so it is no wonder that mainstream medicine and their allies in the mainstream media are once again loudly singing the blues – just as they have repeatedly done in the past with misleading stories and studies about a great many popular natural plants, supplements, vitamins and minerals that represent threats to mainstream drug profits because they are safer, more effective and less expensive alternatives to the unnatural, side effect laden, hugely expensive and marginally effective synthetics created in the labs of the powerful world pharmaceutical empire.
Interaction of silver nanoparticles with HIV-1 - The interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules and microorganisms is an expanding field of research. Within this field, an area that has been largely unexplored is the interaction of metal nanoparticles with viruses. In this work, we demonstrate that silver nanoparticles undergo a size-dependent interaction with HIV-1, with nanoparticles exclusively in the range of 1–10 nm attached to the virus.

How Gold and Other Medicinal Metals Work Against Autoimmune Diseases - Feb 26, 2006
While searching for a new drug to treat autoimmune diseases, Harvard Medical School (HMS) researchers have discovered a biochemical mechanism that may help explain how certain old drugs function. With this new understanding of how special forms of gold compounds and other medicinal metals work, it may now be possible to develop a new generation of gold-based drugs that are more effective against autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, says study co-author Brian DeDecker, HMS post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Cell Biology.

Support The Health Freedom Protection Act - FDA and FTC Censorship robs the American people of health information indispensable to their exercise of freedom of choice. FDA and FTC Censorship benefits large drug companies by protecting them from competition and destroying innovation. The solution lies in a new law, one that will strip FDA and FTC of their censorship powers.

The Biology of Belief - A groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor (University of Wisconsin) and research scientist (Stanford University School of Medicine).His experiments, examining in great detail the molecular mechanisms by which cells process information, have revealed that genes do not in fact control our behavior, instead, genes are turned on and off by influences outside the cell.
These influences include our perceptions and beliefs. He shows that our beliefs, true or false, positive or negative, affect genetic activity and actually alter our genetic code. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful work, being hailed as one of the major breakthroughs in the New Sciences, shows how we can retrain our consciousness to create healthy beliefs, and by doing so create a profoundly positive effect on our bodies and our lives.
Fight for Your Health is a stunning exposé into the secret world of the FDA, Wall Street, and drug companies. At stake is the health and well-being of all Americans. Adverse reactions, even deaths, are hidden while dangerous drugs are pushed on Americans, especially children—simply for profit. The FDA is actively attacking health freedom and seeking to eliminate natural health options.

MSG- The Poisoning of America - According to John E. Erb, author of “The Slow Poisoning of America”, there may be an actual chemical responsible for the massive obesity epidemic, and that chemical may be Monosodium Glutamate, commonly known as MSG. Scientists routinely use MSG to make lab animals fat for research purposes. When given MSG, animals will become obese without any increase in their food intake.
Death by Medicine - By Gary Null PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD, Dorothy Smith PhD.
A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million. Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics.

Ions, Atoms and Charged Particles - This paper written by Francis Key and George Maass discusses the forms of silver that are found in colloidal silver, specifically, silver ions, and silver particles and the electrical charges associated with each. Many non-scientific writers confuse ions and charged particles and use the terms interchangeably when describing colloidal silver. Others refer to colloidal particles as though they are single atoms of silver. Much has been written about silver particles having a positive charge, which is false. It is no wonder then that lay people trying to learn about colloidal silver become confused and have a hard time grasping the science involved with the subject matter when so much of what they read is scientifically flawed.
Colloidal Silver: Where does it go when you drink it? How long does it stay there? - This paper by Roger Altman describes a study of ingestion and elimination of colloidal silver from the human body. A fixed amount of colloidal silver was ingested each day for several months before a preliminary 24 hour silver balance was attempted by measuring the amount of silver found in feces, urine, nails, hair and perspiration.

Food and Drug Law
Emord & Associates - Constitutional And Administrative Law
When the scales of justice tilt in the direction of less freedom, when judicial decisions condone changes in the law that sacrifice liberty, the Constitution is in effect held hostage in time. It is denied its intended meaning until the moment arrives when an artful advocate or judge exercises the power of persuasion® to return the law to its constitutional moorings. Without skillful advocacy in defense of liberty, the precious freedoms we hold dear would fall prey-even more frequently than they do now-to insidious government encroachment. The highest calling of the legal profession is to guard the Constitution against such encroachments and thereby preserve our rich legacy of freedom for future generations.
