A new study has just been released by Dr. Staninger on her findings stating the health hazards of using Colloidal Silver. Back in February of this year, Dr. Staninger had 2 new patients come under her care for Advanced Nano Material exposure, aka Morgellons. Their previous health care provider had prescribed the use of a popular name brand Colloidal Silver as a therapy to treat these patients for their exposure.

Many health care providers have used a colloidal silver or nano silver product for what they believe are beneficial health benefits for infections such as UTIs, decreasing bacterial loads, and other similar health concerns. There is a common belief that these products can do no harm because it will not accumulate in our tissues. These products will often cite the specific type of suspension they use to create their formulas as the reason why this form of silver is non-toxic.

Dr. Staninger states this is simply not true. She has already submitted this paper to the National Registry of Environmental Professionals and is published on www.hildegarde-staninger.com.

Here are a few excerpts, please read the entire article to get the full story:

“Many professionals and the public believe that colloidal silver materials will not show measurable levels of silver in biological specimens of urine and blood specimens as elemental silver. This paper addresses exposure to the internal ingestion of colloidal silver of two females and comparison values to two other females that did not ingest colloidal silver…

“Silver does not occur regularly in animals or human tissue. The major effect of excess absorption of silver is local or generalized impregnation of the tissues where it remains, as silver sulfide, which forms an insoluble complex in elastic fibers, resulting in argyria. Silver can be absorbed from the lungs and gastrointestinal tract. Complexes with serum albumin accumulated in the liver, from which a fractional amount is excreted. Intravenous injection produces accumulation in the spleen, liver, bone marrow, lungs, muscle, and skin. The major route of excretion is via the gastrointestinal tract. Urinary excretion has not been reported in some cases…

“Large oral doses of silver nitrate cause severe gastrointestinal irritation owing to its caustic action. Lesions of the kidneys and lungs and the possibility of arteriosclerosis have been attributed to both industrial and medical exposures. Large doses of colloidal silver administered intravenously to experimental animals produced death due to pulmonary edema and congestion. Hemolysis and resulting bone marrow hyperplasia have been reported. Chronic bronchitis has also been reported in results from medicinal use of colloidal silver.”

The issue she has reported is not just for individuals that suffer from the mysterious skin disease most popularly known as Morgellons. Contrary to popular belief within the alternative medical community, the tests published in her work disclose the fact that these silver remedies DO bio-accumulate in our tissues.

Generally speaking, the choice between using an antibiotic or using a Colloidal Silver product will still have me favor the silver products; but as Dr. Staninger has cautioned, follow the dosing from the manufacturer’s label and do not use for more than 10 days.

However, if you suspect exposure to the Advanced Nano Materials, aka Morgellons; then taking any silver supplement can cause intermediary reactions as reported in Dr. Staninger’s paper. This is a product that can have serious side effects no matter what the marketers want you to believe.

The Team at the Fountain of Wellness wishes you a very happy and healthy day.

About a week ago, several emails were shared across my desk discussing the ’side effects’ of using Nano silver or Colloidal silver products as a nutritional supplement or healing regime specifically with regard to Morgellons and exposure to advanced nano materials.

Colloidal Silver is widely known as an alternative to antibiotics and I have personally used it many times for cleaning up a urinary infection or staving off Strep Throat. It was very effective. However, you should not use it any other way than as is labeled by the manufacturer’s recommended dosing and for no more than 10 days.

Just like antibiotics, it does kill the good flora/fauna of your GI tract. That is it’s medicinal value- it is antibacterial.

The real caution that was stated by Dr. Staninger of Integrative Health Systems from this discussion was that if you are dealing with the Morgellons disease/syndrome, the last thing you want to ingest is a metal, including colodial gold, copper supplements, etc. The reason this is ill advised by Dr. Staninger is that based on her research and the 151 patients under her care that have/had Morgellons, every one of the specimens collected and analyzed was actually from the world of Nanotechnology!

I just read an interesting post from Dr. Mercola, who is another valuable source of wellness knowledge, discussing the issues around fabrics that are treated with NanoSilver to supposedly provide more protection from bacterium. The point is that during wash cycles the silver is washing out and therefore releasing into the water system.  YIKES!

In one of the journals on nanotechnology called ‘Small’ there are several studies reporting mortality rates and birth defects of fish that have come into contact with a nanosilver substance.

Dr. Mercola cites another study from 2006 on the risks of nano advanced sunscreens and the potential for brain damage. A big part of the technology behind ‘nano advanced’ is the size…so when a product is nano enhanced it is so small that it easily penetrates our skin, is undetectable to the naked eye, and at the top of the ‘we should be careful list’ is the fact that to date, there are no guidelines or regulations for the disposal of this technology.

It is very easy to flush down the drain or not even disclose as an aspect of manufacturing unless the product is being marketed for that particular quality. IE stain resistant, antibacterial, antimicrobial…are you ready for these…time released medicines, sunscreens, hydrogels, many cosmetics…

I had no idea this was nanotechnology! Want to know more, then pick up a copy of “Nanotechnology For Dummies”.

And go check this out: http://www.nanotechproject.org/inventories/

They have one of the best databases to reference what products are up and coming from the nanotechnology world.

So to wrap back around to using Nano and Colloidal Silver to ‘treat’ Morgellons, Dr. Staninger strongly advises against this because of the connection to patients being contaminated by materials that are nano-enhanced. The Silver will act as an antenna to amplify the nanotechs programming for self assembling and replicating. That’s right, she has analyzed and documented this very ‘quality’. She states that Morgellons is actually the contamination of our cells with nanotechnologies from our environment, foods, and medicines. Once an individual is exposed to enough combinations of many different toxins and nanos, we have provided an ideal environment for these hazardous materials to begin networking and assembling themselves together.

Sound like a bad Sci Fi flick…tell me about it! I still have specimens of my own that caused my own classic Morgellons symptoms of rash, pimples, intense itching and biting sensations, and overall fatigue and brain fog.

Nanotechnology is a fascinating new frontier, but it has already showed a dark side that  we must heed with great caution as we race for great new medicines and food sources.

Scientific American quotes University of Utah researcher Darin Furgeson, who led the Small journal study as saying:

“I think we jumped the gun” by creating such large volumes of nanoparticles. “We should take more time and really look at these new nano-systems before we start to throw them into personal products and shoot them into these ecosystems.”

Having the great fortune of meeting and working with Dr. Staninger this year has so many personal benefits and the latest is being able to sample her new skin care line, Baci Mi.

I have been faithfully applying a sampling of gels from her for about 4 months now.
The last time I saw my family was at Christmas time last year; then about 6 months later I visited again. It took a few days for my Dad’s wife to get up the nerve and ask me if I was getting Botox treatments. She had really noticed how much smoother and younger my skin was especially around my eyes.

I had also noticed how much nicer my skin looked just before this trip and had packed an extra jar of the Baci-Mi gel to share. Before using these products, I wasn’t much of a believer in applying topical creams for wrinkles or cellulite troubles. Boy was I wrong!

As I have reported before, Dr. Staninger has simplified the idea of what disease and aging are really all about and it just makes so much sense to me. The article I wrote, Understanding Disease… takes one of her recent papers based on several case studies from her practice and demonstrates how toxicity and nutritional depletion affect our cells, causing cell dysfunction and damage…hence we get sick and old!

In a recent conversation with Dr. Staninger, she reminded me that our skin is renewed every 3 months! This means that we are given the chance to correct our skin issues several times a year. That is remarkable. Of course this won’t happen without making the corrections with proper diet, hydration, and detoxifying the junk that is stored in our cells. It also helps me to remember that my skin is an organ, the largest as a matter of fact, and it is breathing and filtering and protecting me from the environment. The better I maintain it’s cellular integrity, the better it will function AND the better it will look.

So with that in mind, enjoy your holidays and be sure to take extra care of yourself to balance the ‘extracurricular’ activities you may be partaking in this season.

Apparently there is a war going on…it is war to determine who will own the rights to the “nano bank”. The nano bank is the ‘player’ or group of players that will hold the patents for nanotechnology and nano advanced materials - this is just like the preceding years of positioning, lobbying, and funding that went on to determine who would be the big players in the stem cell research business.

We already know that both biotechnology and nanotechnology are the ‘gold nugget’ investment opportunities for the 21st century. This, and the distribution of clean water will be some of the best money making ventures around. Which also means it will carry some very big clout- and there’s no stretch of the imagination in recognizing that money and power go hand in hand.

Ugh, I sound like a conspiracy theorist…but after having watched the Matrix trilogy again, I must bow to the Wachowski brothers for their genius. To me it is more like, pulling back the curtain on the wizard and exposing…what is real and what is the Matrix.

The Matrix was designed to keep us believing in a system that was built to use us, built for their own selfish needs at our expense. Have they created the problem in order to sell us the solution?

We have been tracking both the CDC reports on Morgellons and Dr. Staninger for updates on this mysterious skin condition ever since our own personal contact with this ‘unexplained dermopathy’ and what the outer fringe networks refer to as, ’super scabies, body bugs, GMO agrobacterium…’. All this comes into play on understanding disease from a toxicological point of view.

To date, there are 60,000 reported cases of Morgellons in the US, 100,000 globally. And the projection is that it grows by 1000 a day. What this also means is that there is an undisclosed number of folks suffering without the diagnosis.

Believe me, there were moments when I thought I was crazy and understood why the medical association coined the phrase, delusional parasitosis. One of my doctors at the time, a naturopath, was convinced that I was not dealing with a scabies bug. And in a brief moment of levity, he admitted that he had begun to ‘feel’ itchy all over as he sat talking me.

During this time, my skin was so sensitive that I had turned to wearing mostly silk fabrics and often wore things inside out because the seams would irritate me beyond tolerating.

What Dr. Staninger has personally discussed with me is that the reason the CDC is not publicly recognizing this issue is because the “nano bank” is still being battled over. Who gets to copyright and patent the top nanotechnologies has not yet been negotiated and until it is settled- we get to suffer.

Well, not really.
Be sure you catch the part in the above mentioned, latest research paper from Dr. Staninger about the use of FIR therapy.

It is the number one recommendation for the ‘therapy treatment’ within her protocol.

The solution is here…there is no spoon when you know the truth!

Every since meeting Dr. Staninger, my awareness on how we are bombarded with toxins from all sorts of places has been heightened to the max!

Remembering that our skin is the largest organ we have; it makes perfect sense to pay attention to what we are putting on it everyday. I started thinking about the campaigns against animal testing within the cosmetic’s industry a few years ago and I decided to hunt around for some facts about it today.

I found this really interesting resource site and wanted to share. This website has a database search function where you can drop in any name of a product you use. Sunscreens, lotions, baby products, cosmetics…all that stuff. Go check it out and see what your slathering on your skin. Wow!

One of the best, cheapest, and cleanest moisturizer type products to use is Organic Coconut Oil. It will feel oily right at first but it absorbs immediately and I can literally feel it nourishing me inside-out.

Have a great inspiring day,
