Colloidal Silver Kills Listeria

As pointed out in the news article below, the FDA has

approved the spraying of a viral cocktail onto many of the
foods we eat.

The FDA’s justification for this act of insanity is that many

foods, such as lunch meats, poultry and more, can
contain a bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes which can
cause serious episodes of food poisoning for people with
weakened immune systems (think AIDS patients), and –
to a lesser degree – children with undeveloped immune systems and pregnant
women.

Apparently, the viruses they will now be allowing food manufacturers to spray on the
foods we eat have the ability to infect these rare food-poisoning bacteria, reproduce
prolifically inside of them, and cause them to burst open, thereby releasing even more
viruses onto the food which in turn go on the hunt for more of the targeted bacteria.

While this kills off the infectious Listeria pathogen on the food, it leaves people like you
and me in the incredible position of having to eat viruses just to protect ourselves from
this food poisoning bacteria.

There are so many serious problems with this idea, I won’t take the time to mention
them here. Byron Richards, who wrote the comprehensive article below, has done an
excellent job of listing the health-robbing flaws in the FDA’s latest bout with sheer
idiocy.

What I will mention is these two facts:

Fact #1: Listeria Is Very Rare

First of all, only about 2,500 people per year get serious Listeria infections.

In other words, all of the rest of us now have to eat virus-coated foods in order to
“protect” those 2,500 people (most of who are AIDS patients). This is an outrage, and
the FDA needs to hear what you have to say about it.

Fact #2: Colloidal Silver Kills Listeria

Secondly, and most importantly, colloidal silver has long been known to kill Listeria
monocytogens.

In fact, recent tests by independent clinical labs at the behest of a company called
NVID International, Inc. (developer of a municipal drinking water purification system
that uses ionic silver to rid drinking water of pathogens) showed that silver ions can
kill Listeria within minutes.

You can read more on this in my recent post titled “Ionic Silver Purifies Municipal
Drinking Water” here at the Colloidal Silver Secrets blog.

Why Would the FDA Do Such A Stupid Thing?

So why would the FDA allow food manufacturers to spray the foods we eat
with viruses in order to help control the Listeria bacteria, when instead they could
simply have them spray the foods with small amounts of safe, simple colloidal silver?

You know the answer: The FDA has engaged in a long war against the use of colloidal
silver ever since their “Final Ruling” in 1999 when they made the ludicrous assertion
that colloidal silver is not a “safe and effective” infection-fighting agent.

And no matter how many studies to the contrary disprove the FDA’s fallacious
argument, made at the behest of the big drug companies, the FDA simply will not back
down. They would rather have us eat virus-laden foods in order to help prevent
Listeria infections, than admit their mistake and okay the use of safe, simple colloidal
silver instead.

You Don’t Have to Be a Victim

But you don’t have to be a victim of this bureaucratic insanity. By owning the means of
colloidal silver production, you can protect yourself from food-borne infection and
disease quickly, easily and effectively. You can spray colloidal silver directly on the
food you eat. Or simply take a small amount with meals. For example, I like to add
anywhere from a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful to my milk, juice or water whenever I
eat.

So be sure to take the time to learn more about the use of high-quality colloidal silver
generators to produce your own colloidal silver for only pennies per quart, rather
than paying greedy colloidal silver vendors up to $29 for a tiny four-ounce bottle.
And be sure to learn all of the fascinating ways you can use colloidal silver to protect
yourself, by getting an inexpensive copy of the brand new, studio-quality, 60-
minute Colloidal Silver Secrets video (under $20 for a limited time only), in which I
personally demonstrate and discuss dozens of highly effective ways to protect
yourself and your family against infection and disease with colloidal silver.

With the government now allowing the spraying of viruses directly onto our foods,
many more health problems are likely to be caused than resolved. But safe, natural
colloidal silver has long been known as one of the world’s best remedies for
preventing food poisoning and fighting infectious microorganisms.

Learn more about colloidal silver, and act. When your own government starts spraying
the food you eat with viruses, it is in your best interest to take matters into your own
hands, and do whatever it takes to protect yourself and your family.

the FDA to be sprayed on your food…

FDA OKs Viral Cocktail To Be Sprayed On Food

NewsWithViews.com

On Friday, August 18, 2006, the FDA approved a viral cocktail to be sprayed on foods
we eat. This is the first time viruses have been approved for use as food additives. The
FDA wants you to believe it will be safe to consume these viruses every day for the
rest of your life with no adverse health effects. Not surprisingly, the FDA doesn’t want
you to know which foods are adulterated in this manner, for fear you may not buy
them; thus, no labeling will be required. This is a monumental announcement by the
FDA, indicating they are throwing all caution to the wind regarding the safety of our
food supply.

Are you willing to stand in line for a virus-laden sandwich? How do you like the idea of
buying virus-infested food for your family? The first virally contaminated foods
entering our food supply with the blessings of the FDA will be luncheon meat and
poultry. Live viruses will be sprayed on foods such as cold cuts, sausages, hot dogs,
sliced turkey, and chicken.

At issue is the very real problem of a poor quality FDA-approved food supply that is
already full of diseased and sickly animals, many of them imported from other
countries. The use of antibiotics during growth and radiation during food processing
is required by the fast-food animal farms owned by multi-national companies to cover
up the horrendous health of the animals they wish to feed to Americans. Animals in
poor health are a friendly place for bacteria to grow and prosper, especially after such
meat goes to market. Rather than address the source of the problem, the FDA wants
to add another adulteration into our food supply.

The stated goal of the new FDA-approved viruses is to kill a rare bacterium known as
Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium is killed by cooking; however, it poses a
problem in meats that are cooked during processing and not cooked again prior to
consumption, so it can readilyinfect foods such as deli meats.

Yes, the FDA plans to use one infectious organism to fight another. The carnage of
battle will end up in your digestive tract along with the victorious live viruses, which
the FDA assures us will not attack human cells. However, they cannot possibly be
certain the viruses will not attack the friendly bacteria that make up the lining of your
digestive tract. And they want you to believe this is completely safe while refusing to
require the additive viruses to be listed on the food labelso that you would have a
choice.

Turning Loose the Bacteria-Killing Viruses

The company that produces these biotech viruses is Baltimore-based Intralytix, Inc.
The viruses are known as bacteriophages, viruses that kill bacteria, or phages for
short. Phages have been around a long time, living as parasites inside many bacteria.

Intralytix uses biotechnology to grow viral phages in a culture with Listeria, in theory
teaching the viruses to recognize the bacteria. The FDA-approved cocktail contains six
different viruses intended to attack one strain of bacteria.

This concoction is then sprayed on food. If Listeria is present in the food, the bacteria
will ingest the viruses. This results in massive viral replication inside the bacteria, until
such point as the bacteria simply bursts. This battle results in significant production of
bacterial poisons called “endotoxins”, as the bacteria tries to defend itself. When the
bacteria burst, these endotoxins are released. These, along with the victorious live
viruses, will now be on the food that will be eaten.

The FDA and Intralytix would like us to believe that these viruses will only attack the
specified bacteria they are intended to kill and will be harmless to humans. I’m sorry
to burst their bubble, but they can’t possibly guarantee such safety. It is true that the
viruses, at least at this time, cannot recognize human cells. However, the virus can
potentially recognize normal bacterial cells in the human digestive tract and may be
able to adapt to infect one or more of these friendly bacteria.

The FDA Certainly Knows There Are Risks

The FDA had some concerns about the amount of bacterial endotoxin in the Intralytix
product before it is sprayed; however, FDA tests apparently showed that the product
was adequately purified and so they declared it safe if used as approved. Will the FDA
diligently monitor the quality of this product once it is on the market, or will it go the
path of many FDA-approved drugs that the agency can’t keep track of?

There is certainly a risk that humans will be exposed to excessive amounts of

endotoxin. This could come from the manufacturing of the viral cocktail, the
interaction of the viruses with bacteria after being sprayed on food, and/or the
interaction of the viruses with bacteria in the digestive tract.

The human immune system is highly reactive and sensitive to bacterial endotoxins.
They provoke allergy, asthma, autoimmune problems, and elevate cholesterol. They
also interfere with the healthy function of cells lining the digestive tract. Researchers
have demonstrated that the presence of bacterial endotoxins can start cancer in the
colon.

Additionally, the human immune system reacts directly to viral phages. Thus, a person
who eats a lot of processed deli meat is certain to evoke an immune reaction to the
viruses. What will this reaction be? Allergy? Asthma? Autoimmunity? Cancer? How can
the FDA approve a food additive that it knows can induce a variety of human immune
responses? Phages are so good at disrupting normal immunity that they are being
considered for use as part of organ transplant medicine.

The ingestion of significant amounts of viral phages into the human digestive tract is a
wild card full of unknown outcomes. For example, it is certainly possible that these
phages, which constantly mutate in order to survive, are likely to find a way to infect
bacteria they were not intended to infect. Since phages are parasites, they could
hijack the friendly bacteria of the digestive tract and turn them into viral machines,
constantly generating viral particles that are likely to confuse the human immune
system, if not directly infect the body. We know from history that these viral phages
can turn innocuous bacteria into a killer, which is how cholera occurs.

Furthermore, the Listeria bacteria are not going to take the issue lying down. They will
develop resistance to the viruses over time, as we have seen with the overuse of
antibiotics. Going down this path we are likely to have hundreds of viral food additives
in the food we eat, all designed to combat some possible infection coming from poor
quality food. Sooner or later we will inadvertently create deadly new super-strains of
bacteria and/or parasitically infect the human digestive tract with an untreatable
infection.

There is also the very real possibility of unintended viral recombination. What
happens when a person with viral stomach flu eats food containing a dose of this viral
food additive? It is certainly possible for the genetic material of the flu virus to interact
with the genetic material of the viral phages, provoking an undesirable new viral
infection.

Let’s not forget that the FDA won’t tell us which foods in the food supply contain
genetically modified organisms (GMO). Seventy percent of the packaged food on
grocery shelves already contains GMO adulterated food. These foods have viral
promoter genes woven into the DNA of every cell, a technique used to implant a
pesticide toxin into every cell of this fake food (see Fight for Your Health, chapter 15).
What happens when the viral phages interact with the viral promoter genes in GMO
food? What new virus will be encouraged to form?

Keep in mind that the FDA wants to conduct this experiment on our food supply to
protect a small minority, only about 2500 people, who are made seriously ill by this
infection each year. The ill are mostly pregnant women, elderly with compromised
immunity, and small children. It would be a lot more to the point if the FDA would
simply warn such people that eating these foods, due to their poor quality of
production, may be dangerous. What the FDA should really do is improve the quality
of our food supply, the true source of the problem. Why expose millions of Americans
to an unproven ingestion of live viruses for the benefit of so few?

The FDA has failed miserably for the past century to protect the public from the
adulteration of our food supply by vested interests. This is just one more insult added
to a long list of injuries.
Isn’t it WAKE UP TIME…time for all of us to stand up and say NO to a government and
government agencies hired to work against our best health and welfare interests???
