To the Editor:
.
I am a Trustee of the Natural Solutions Foundation along with its founders, Rima E. Laibow, MD and Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine III (US Army Ret.). We are responding to your August 16, 2014 article, “Agencies Issue Warnings Over Bogus Ebola Cures” (page A6) which mentions our Foundation and provides several incorrect data points and implications.
.
It is not true that we provided Nigeria with Nano Silver.  This erroneous statement in the New York Times should be publicly retracted. In fact, we have made the point, in writing, several times, that we know nothing about this doctor, his supposed silver, its research base (if any), its composition, concentration, purity or particle size, all of which are critical to the action of a nutrient nano-solution like Nano Silver.
.
We have also made the point in writing, video and podcasts numerous times that we are in close contact with the manufacturer of the same Nano Silver 10 PPM which was tested in vitro against the Ebola virus and found to be highly effective in inactivating Ebola virus in the research declassified by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency of the US Department of Defense in 2009. That company confirms that no one secured enough Nano Silver from them to match the shipment allegedly brought to Nigeria, so that there was no likely possibility that it could be the same Nano Silver 10 PPM of which we had spoken and written.
.
Your article further states that Dr. Rima was unavailable for comment and that questions emailed to her were not answered.  She has no record of any correspondence from the New York Times or anyone writing on their behalf so that your assertion that she did not respond to your questions is correct since she never received them, nor did she receive any phone calls.  Her 3 VOIP phone numbers, 3 cell phone numbers and one land line numbers uniformly show no record of any attempted or missed calls from North America.  Thus, she was not able to respond to your calls for the same reason: she did not receive them. Dr. Rima has made herself available for dozens of interviews over the past few days.
.
Natural Solutions Foundation was established in 2004 with a specific Mission: To Discover, Develop, Demonstrate, Document and Disseminate natural solutions to pressing social issues. Since that time we have grown to become the premiere global health freedom association, www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org.
.
Rima E. Laibow, MD, our Medical Director, is a world-renowned physician practicing environmental and natural medicine and psychiatry. She has practiced drug-free medicine for over 44 years, primarily in New York State where she has been licensed from 1971.  She holds inactive licenses in two other States.
.
In 2007 she addressed a meeting of 47 African Ministers of Health in Mombasa, Kenya at the invitation of the President of the organization of Ministers of Health.  In her address, she warned the Ministers and their staff members about emerging viral diseases and urging adoption of natural means to respond to such diseases, citing such measures Intravenous Vitamin C and nutrient Nano Silver 10 PPM as primary natural remedies.
.
The President of the Foundation, known as “General Bert”, was the Commanding General  of US Army Intelligence and Security Command when he retired from the Army.  He has, since his retirement from the Army, become the chief strategist for global health freedom efforts. I practiced law for 36 years in the NY metro area, specializing in dietary supplement regulatory issues.
.
While the FDA and CDC are technically correct that “there is no approved treatment for Ebola…” that often repeated mantra is deceptive and misleading. FDA has legal authority which includes approval or denial of approval ONLY for pharmaceutical drugs that are presented by the industry. It is critically important to this issue to understand that, under the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) this agency HAS NO AUTHORITY TO EITHER APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE DSHEA-grandfathered nutrient substances such as Nano Silver when they are offered to support the normal structure and function of the body.  We have always been careful in that regard; when Dr. Rima Recommends Nano Silver, or any other natural solution, the recommendation is solely as a nutrient therapy that may benefit, as permitted under FDA guidelines and regulations.
.
In 2009 the United States Government declassified the DTRA (Defense Threat Research Agency) Nano Silver Ebola Study. The study was cleared for release via authorization 88ABW-2009-4491 and funded by DTRA through proposal #4.10036_07_AHB_B and JSTO/DTRA-NRC.  The study was verified through the Public Relations office of DTRA under an informal Freedom of Information request recently filed by the Natural Solutions Foundation.
.
That study, conducted in vitro with active hemorrhagic viruses including Ebola, definitively showed that Nano Silver 10 PPM inhibits viral reproduction by supporting normal cell membrane structure and function, thereby stopping the virus before it can adhere to the cell, penetrate it or reproduce.
.
There is nothing speculative about this research: the results are quite definitive.
.
This is not a Drug Effect (prescription drugs work by poisoning enzyme systems to suppress symptoms). Nano Silver does not act like a drug; rather it is a nutrient that nourishes normal response to viral invaders.
.
The biological immune support functions of this nutrient are well-known and characterized by a massive scientific literature.
.
Nano Silver has been approved by the EPA as a not-toxic surface sanitizer for hospital, food service and other industrial environments, and as such, can have a vital role in stopping Ebola.
.
But Nano Silver is also a nutrient and may be used for immune system support, and as such, will save lives and may contain the disease.
.
Now, during this humanitarian crisis, WHO tells us it is ethical to try “unapproved interventions.” Humanitarian considerations must trump the niceties of regulatory law. Our Foundation, exercising our inalienable expressive association rights, has donated a small supply of Nano Silver 10 PPM and silver gel to one of the “Ebola front line states” , and made a larger quantity available to another one of the front line states at the request of the their government.  Those states do not include Nigeria although Dr. Rima has made serious efforts to get the correct Nano Silver 10 PPM to the government of that country, without success.
.
That Nano Silver 10 PPM which has been provided is identical to that used in the above referenced study. It is being provided in cooperation with people from those countries both in their home nations and in the United States, as well as with the public health authorities there, for the purpose of an emergency clinical test of Nano Silver in vivo. It is our expectation that Nano Silver can be an important tool in containing the Ebola Outbreak which is now breaking-out, threatening a world-wide pandemic.
.
Mapp Biopharmaceuticals has received at least $140 million dollars for the development of its experimental, untested, unproven drug.  A Canadian vaccine maker is being paid handsomely for its experimental, untested and unproven vaccine.  Neither has an established scientific and clinical record of safety while inexpensive, safe, non-toxic Nano Silver 10 PPM is under what can only be called vicious attack.
.
At the same time that the New York Times incorrectly and inaccurately castigates both Nano Silver and the Natural Solutions Foundation, it suggests the use of Statin drugs against Ebola, as wild, wooly and bizarre a speculation as any snake oil salesman ever concocted.
.
The double standard is shocking and disappointing since the New York Times holds itself to a higher standard than supermarket checkout tabloids, or maintains that it does.
.
It is time for the conflict of interest-ridden FDA and CDC, whose track records in objective public safety are shamefully lacking, to finally stop misinforming the public about the potential therapeutic benefits of Nano Silver 10 PPM and stop actively obstructing the natural solutions to this humanitarian emergency.

Sincerely,

WHO Confirms: It Is Ethical to Use "Unapproved Interventions" in Ebola Outbreak

http://tinyurl.com/StopEbola

Memorandum

Date: August 12, 2014
.
From: Ralph Fucetola JD. Natural Solutions Foundation Counsel
.
To: Rima E. Laibow MD, Natural Solutions Foundation Medical Director”
.
Re: Legal Status of the Foundation’s Ebola Nano Silver Initiative

---

.
Legal Question Presented: What is the current legal status of recommending Nano Silver as an intervention during the current Ebola Outbreak?
.
Legal Principles: International and national law set out regulations regarding the standard practice of medicine. In most countries, physicians are restricted by their licenses to the practice of standard medicine. Physicians can rely on the standards of practice in ordinary circumstances. Similarly, regulations have been developed regarding medical experimentation on individuals. However, during a humanitarian emergency, other concerns become more pressing.
.
The World Health Organization (WHO), which has declared an international health emergency today, repeated these international principles in a declaration regarding Ebola and “unapproved interventions…”*

In the particular circumstances of this outbreak, and provided certain conditions are met, the panel reached consensus that it is ethical to offer unproven interventions with as yet unknown efficacy and adverse effects, as potential treatment or prevention. [Emphasis added.]

Ethical criteria must guide the provision of such interventions. These include transparency about all aspects of care, informed consent, freedom of choice, confidentiality, respect for the person, preservation of dignity and involvement of the community.

Analysis: Nano Silver provides a therapy that may benefit and should be readily available without restriction.
.
Natural Solutions Foundation supports the international standards enunciated by the World Medical Association in its Helsinki Declaration.** The basic principles involve informed consent and doing no intentional harm. US Federal law has similar restrictions on human experimentation.
.
The WMA declaration states:

It is the duty of physicians who are involved in medical research to protect the life, health, dignity, integrity, right to self-determination, privacy, and confidentiality of personal information of research subjects.

These restrictions must be considered in light of the current Ebola Outbreak and with regard to the 2009 declassification of the  US Air Force sponsored in vitro Ebola / Nano Silver study that proved the effectiveness of Nano Silver as a virus replication inactivator: http://drrimatruthreports.com/smoking-gun-us-suppressing-ebola-therapy-since-2009/
.
I have reviewed the Dr. Rima Nano Silver Ebola Clinical Test Protocol. This document, provided to the Ebola “front line” states, shows that the test proposal meets these international standards. Several West African states have indicated in writing their willingness to allow Clinical Tests with patients suffering from Ebola, pursuant to the Protocol. A copy of the Protocol may be obtained here: http://tinyurl.com/ebolaprotocol
.
The purpose of this Memorandum is to assure the cooperating physicians and the public health authorities of West Africa that, in addition to the United States FDA approval of Nano Silver as a surface disinfectant, the provision of food-grade Nano Silver for ingestion by the patients should be considered a humanitarian exception to any current restrictions, as allowed by the WHO pronouncement.
.
The Protocol requires informed patient consent and consideration. The safety of Nano Silver, which is self-sterilizing and can be stored a ambient temperature, under the circumstances of an outbreak of hemorrhagic infection, is not in serious question.
.
Thus the primary concerns expressed by WHO are met.
.
It is therefore my professional opinion that the Foundation’s Nano Silver Ebola Initiative conforms to this non-governmental organization (NGO)’s Mission, as its expressive association, and that is is ethical for physicians to cooperate with the Clinical Test as provided in the Protocol.

FDA / CDC Word Games Suppress Ebola Therapy

Word Games To Kill By!

Science Shows Ebola Therapy Is Real: There is No "FDA Approved Treatment" for Ebola Because FDA Lacks the Authority to Approve
Nutrients Like Nano Silver 10PPM!

UPDATE: DTRA PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER ACKNOWLEDGES STUDY!

--------------------
Original Blog Posting:

FDA/CDC persist in claiming that “there is no approved therapy for Ebola” leave  the unwary/uninformed with the impression that these agencies actually have the authority and will to approve natural therapies and that none exist for this purpose.

 .

The truth is that both of these conclusions are inaccurate and misleading.

.

Government bureaucracies are very good at obscuring information through carefully chosen language aimed at both misinforming and dis-informing.

.

In the present circumstances of an out of control Ebola outbreak capable of riding on the wings of commercial and private planes to our own homes and loved ones, this dis/misinformation may well cost vast numbers of lives, throwing the world into a catastrophic near-extinction-level event, unless corrected.

.

FDA and CDC’s use of language to hide well-researched, publicly available natural solutions to the serious health threat of Ebola is an excellent example of the obfuscation and distortion involved in “regulatory-speak,”  Saying  there is no “approved  treatment” for the deadly disease is deceitful and dangerous.  Ebola, without Nano Silver 10 PPM has a mortality rate of 90%.

.

Labeling Ebola as disease-without-treatment leads people to engage in dangerous behavior that can trigger a pandemic, such ignoring contagion,   kidnapping sick relatives from hospitals (as happened in Sierra Leone), hiding family victims or hiding symptoms while traveling.

.

Further, using the immense cachet of these agencies to misinform people into believing that there is neither prevention nor cure (when there is well -documented evidence to the contrary) allows wide-spread unnecessary death in afflicted populations, and the willing surrender of liberties in populations that are afraid for their lives because safe and effective readily available antidotes and preventions have been withheld. The reality is that the Nano Silver 10PPM therapy is safe, effective, inexpensive and easy to use

.

Truly, as General Bert, President of the Natural Solutions Foundation, has warned, "The world is just a plane ride from catastrophe." It is, however, an unnecessary catastrophe, as the US agencies know full well.  These same agencies, it should be noted, are responsible for the irresponsible decision to bring active Ebola cases to the US where, should containment protocols fail, Ebola will be released onto a vulnerable population.

.

Despite the assertions of US Government agencies, international agencies like WHO and corporate-sponsored NGOs that there is "no treatment" there is, in actual fact, a very good nutritional therapy that supports normal immune system function, based on natural means to promote health,  resting solidly on the US government's own Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)-sponsored Ebola / Nano Silver 10 PPM study, declassified in 2009.[1]

.

.
Nano Silver 10 PPM supports normal homeostasis by supporting cell membrane integrity. That's what the DTRA study shows; not that it "treats" Ebola (there were no sick people involved) but rather, that it supports cell membrane impermeability to the Ebola virus. It acts nutritionally before there is a disease to prevent or treat. No viral penetration; no viral replication; no disease.

.
Rima E. Laibow, MD, Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation[2], already familiar with Nano Silver 10 PPM from her clinical experience and research, has provided a simple Protocol that uses advanced nutrition (such as large servings of Vitamin C to control inflammation and bleeding) and Nano Silver to address the Ebola crisis.[3]

.

So, contrary to the assertions of agencies, there is a highly effective therapy. How, and why, do the agencies misuse language to misinform the public and professional communities about this urgent matter?

.

As  a legal specialist in regulatory matters, I know well that by using distorting regulation-speak, the supposedly authoritative agencies create a false distinction between "FDA approved Ebola treatment" and a lack of an FDA approved Ebola treatment.  They do it by simply ignoring the regulatory and legal reality: FDA does not have authority to "approve" or disapprove Nano Silver because Nano Silver  is a DSHEA grandfathered nutrient.

.

The phrase "treatment for disease" is a legal "term of art" relating to an approved, standard medical treatment that is deemed to provide a "cure" (or suppression of symptoms) of a recognized disease. Under current US law, no one may claim that any substance is a "treatment" unless it has been approved as such by FDA. So it is technically true that there is no "treatment" despite the existence of 7 filed Ebola-related patents, 6 of which list US government agencies as patent-owners.

.

Nano Silver 10 PPM offers a potentially beneficial therapy over which the FDA has no regulatory authority.

.

FDA does not have authority to "approve" a nutritional substance that is grandfathered, as is nutrient silver, under the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). Nor may commercial providers of nutrient silver make "treatment of disease" claims for such substances.  Nano Silver 10 PPM, as a dietary substance, is a nutrient, not a drug and is therefore a non-prescription therapy, not a treatment.  The distinction is crucial. 

.

It is a traditional therapy, used in various forms for centuries. Nutrient silver does not do what a prescription drug usually does:  poison enzymes to suppress clinical symptoms. Pathogens cannot develop resistance as the mode of action is nutritional and inhibitory. Since FDA cannot approve the therapy, and has not approved it as a drug “treatment” there is, in fact, an effective therapy which the FDA is powerless to ban and powerless to approve.

.

Agency mis/dis representation means that we are thus faced with a deadly gap between the law and reality. As we move toward what the WHO has termed the “Antibiotic Resistant Apocalypse” will we be in the world health emergency for which the Global Health Security Initiative was supposedly created.[4]
.

.

The DTRA study clearly shows that nano silver inactivates Ebola.

.

In this crisis humanitarian concerns must trump bureaucratic niceties. The US government must come clean and admit that its own research clearly established that Nano Silver can help contain Ebola and can help reduce suffering and death.

.

Anything less will condemn more victims and dishonor the intent of the First Amendment, that competing understandings of the truth may not be restricted by government.

.
