Colloidal silver is possibly useful for treating MS: CS may be an effective treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, since (at least some) MS has reportedly been found to be infectious in nature:
1) MS has been found to be caused by Chlamydia pneumonia. 2) In other studies, MS has been found to be a spirochetal disease like Lyme Disease. Below are some references. --Bill P.S.-- MS can be caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency or a B12 blockage which can be caused by B12 analogues (inactive forms of B12). B12 analogues can be produced by certain micro-organisms, and at least hypothetically, these could colonize the human digestive tract. CS could possibly control any such organisms. Note: Spirulina algae, often used as a food, also contains B12 analogues, and if consumed frequently, may eventually be unhealthy, even for people who don't have MS. Although the body normally stores up to a five year's supply of vitamin B12, analogues may block the use of these stores -- thus a normal B12 blood test could be misleading. Blood tests for detecting B12 analogues are rarely done, except in research projects. The coenzyme forms of vitamin B12 will probably circumvent any B12 analogue blockages. The coenzyme forms of B12 are the methyl-, hydroxo-, and S-adenosyl- cobalamins. B12 injections also may circumvent B12 analogue blockages. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: rifet...@rt66.com (James Bare) To: rife-l...@eskimo.com Date: Tue, 17 Feb 1998 Subj: MS- A breakthrough! I just finished talking with a woman who has MS. She has been in a clinical trial for the past 11 months. Prior to the start of the trial she had been in a wheel chair for 11 years, she was unable to open her hands and could not walk. She now can walk, is able to drive and can use her hands again for the first time in years. She is still weak, has residual symptoms, and must use a wheel chair for prolonged outings, but is still showing improvement. MS has been found to be caused by Chlamydia pneumonia. A major paper is about to be released on this breakthrough in some Neurology Journal. The tests were done by Vanderbilt University. Treatment has been something of an antibiotic cocktail with the use of some sort of special machines to bypass the blood brain barrier. Biggest problem is the antibiotics can cause liver toxicity. The Chlamydia produce excess porphyrin (can cause severe CNS symptoms), and also upset the cells mitochondria. Chlamydia live inside of cells as a parasite. So does anyone know of a frequency for this parasitic organism?.

I was diagnosed with MS in the begining and tested positive for Chlamydia then a second test showed negative. That shows you just how good their tests are. That was the only thing that they could find wrong with me at the time. I'd be interested in knowning what antibotics they are using. Also Chlamydia was said to cause heart problems and heart attacks. >Biggest problem is the antibiotics can cause liver toxicity. >So does anyone know of a frequency for this parasitic organism?. Try 1520, 610-620, 880, and 5000. The first four work in me or at least help. The third was reported by someone else on the list to help MS victoms. I'll check and see how the chlamidia frequency works in me.

Mattman, Ph.D., is rocking the medical community with her discoveries in Lyme disease and Multiple Sclerosis. On May 6th in Saginaw, Michigan, Mattman spoke to Lyme patients and medical professionals who were captivated by her slides and research findings on spirochetes. Behind her self-deprecating humor is a dedicated researcher and pioneer in her field. Mattman, Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Biology at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI) is also a mother motivated by a daughter who was diagnosed with LD a few years ago. Since then, Mattman has focused her attention on how to find a more reliable and reproducible way of finding the infection - in culturing the spirochete from blood samples. In the last year, she has found such a method; and in the process, has also identified another spirochete that could be the causative agent in Multiple Sclerosis. When asked at the meeting if MS is a spirochetal disease like LD, Mattman replied with an unequivocal "yes". She went on to show slides of the various diseases caused by different spirochetes - including MS. Each disease was characterized by a variety of disfiguring and debilitating symptoms - all of which, Mattman pointed out, were treatable with appropriate antibiotics. Dr. Mattman's new method of culturing the spirochete was featured at this year's 10th Annual International Conference at the NIH in Bethesda, MD. Viewed as one of the most important discoveries presented at the Poster Session, Mattman's technique may be a new Gold Standard for determining spirochetal infections and persistent disease. Although her findings are compelling, Mattman feels she is up against skepticism in the medical community. Mattman feels this harkens back to other big breakthroughs, such as developing the vaccine for Whooping Cough and discovering the H. Pylori bacteria in ulcers. Because these discoveries challenged previous medical doctrine, the doctors were originally shunned for breaking away from "accepted facts". Mattman is confident that it is only a matter of time before her research will be given credibility. In explaining why current testing for Lyme disease is unreliable, Mattman referred to the blood test using immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA). Here, she explains, the lab is looking for the antibody. It won't always be detected, because the spirochete can "masquerade" in other forms that delude the immune response. Mattman explained that the spirochete, like other bacteria, is not always in its classic form - there is much diversity in its appearance. This "diversity" in appearance is what is known as the "L Form" of the bacteria (named after this research at Lister Institute). In learning to recognize the "L Form" bacteria, Mattman has been able to culture spirochetes abundantly and profusely. For now, Dr. Mattman hopes the doctors will use a more reliable test other than IFA. She suggests using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. This test picks up on the actual DNA of the spirochete. Mattman's lab has also worked for the University of Michigan, where she came face to face with L-forms of Meningitis and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). She emphasized that these also can be easily missed in the lab, because they are not always in the classic form with a "suit and bow tie". Pointing to the screen, Mattman announced that we were the first audience to see a remarkable photo of Multiple Sclerosis spinal fluid mixed with red blood cells The red blood cells on the screen were filled with many spirochetes that were also seen emerging from the red blood cells. "We used to think that the red blood cells mainly transported gases through the body - now we know better," said Mattman. The spirochetes weren't only in the red blood cells, they PREFER the red blood cells. With this observation, Mattman feels that persistent infection could be attributed to the fact that antibiotics do not easily penetrate the red blood cell to target the spirochete. Now that Dr. Mattman has been able to culture the spirochete, she is focusing on specific treatment. In recognizing that the spirochete can have numerous strains, she hopes to use cultured spirochetes for antibiotic sensitivity testing. This is already widely used for other bacterial infections. With this procedure, Mattman could find which antibiotic would work best for the individual patient. From a clinical perspective, this knowledge would give the treating physician an important edge in prescribing an appropriate antibiotic. Mattman concluded that Lyme disease is as endemic here as Malaria is in the Tropics. She is convinced that, with the introduction of more reliable testing for LD, the figures will more accurately reflect the prevalence of Lyme disease. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
