Nano Silver is the first experimental treatment for the Ebola Virus to
get to Nigeria for use of patients at the Infectious Diseases Hospital,
Lagos.
The use of Nano Silver was confirmed by the Minister of Health, Prof.
Onyebuchi Chukwu at a news conference in Abuja yesterday, stating it
had been offered by a Nigerian in Diaspora.
This should be good news, that there is now a drug to try to treat
the Nigerians who have tested positive for Ebola, but the Minister is
not telling us all we need to know.
It is instructive to note that soon after the Nigerian announcement,
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration began to warn of products that fraudulently claim to prevent or treat Ebola.
Nano Silver is not classified as a drug, because it is not so
certified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ─ the American
equivalent of NAFDAC. Rather, Nano Silver is classified as a
“supplement”
Its creator, American Doctor, Rima Laibow who calls it a ‘drug-free
medicine” is into “natural solutions” or what is better known as
alternative medicine. She sells things like “hemp oil” and “organic
chocolate” as cure for illnesses.
Normally this is how it is used:
Rima launched a campaign of “10 PPM” to make Nano Silver
available, with the theme “no one need die from Ebola: You and your
friends can stop it”.Under the scheme, you are supposed to “make the pledge of 10″ ─ to get the information about Nano Silver across to 10 people.
Step 1: Secure the protocol for the use of Nano Silver 10 PPM by going to her website and entering your email address.
Step 2: Calculate how much Nano Silver 10 PPM you need and make sure you have enough on hand.
Step 3: Take the Pledge for 10. Make yourself a promise that you
will send out this information on social media and by email, in your
club’s website, your PTA or whatever to make sure that at least 10 other
people are protected in the same way.“Let’s do the math,” she says. “If 10,000 people protect
themselves and enlist 10 each to do the same, we have a hundred thousand
who will not die. Then when they share the protection information with
enough people that 10 react to each one, we have a million people. Ten
of their friends and we have 10 million.
One more multiplication and we have 100 million people, 1/3 of the population of the United States.”
A bit complicated, it seems, but an unnamed Nigerian has taken the offer and the solution to the Ebola outbreak to Nigeria.
The American doctor has made it even more imperative that we ask questions of our government officials.
In a mail sent to Myne, she said
“Let me be frank. I have serious concerns
which I am sharing here with you about the sudden appearance of a Nano
Silver “drug”. First of all, Nano Silver is a nutrient not a drug. Nano
silver is also not a vaccine.
The announcement today (Thursday) that nano
silver will be brought to Nigeria by a doctor who “discovered” it and
will patent it is very troubling.
Despite the fact that our organization and I
have been very public about the use of Nano Silver for Ebola, this
doctor has not contacted me about this use (which is OK – perhaps he
knows more than I do) and, much more concerning, has not secured his
Nano Silver from the only manufacturer who has made a nano solution
which has been shown in rigorous studies to inactivate the Ebola virus.
I know because that is the manufacture who
makes the Nano Silver 10 PPM that our organization offers and is the
precise solution which was used in the research referenced above which
is, as far as I know, the only such research that has ever been
conducted and published.”
This is surely a concern, and we think the Nigerian government ought to take it seriously.
The Minister said to the press that details of how the Nano Silver
drug was delivered to Nigeria will be disclosed later but we need
the details now.
