Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and
PESTILENCES; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
"That ominous cloud of anthrax Pentagon bio-defense planners fear may fog
some future battlefield could actually have a SILVER lining for Lansing,
Mich.-based Bioport Corp. - and for its most visible corporate director,
former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. William J. Crowe Jr. That
's because the company is the only licensed U.S. manufacturer of ANTHRAX
vaccine. Less than a month after it took over the business from the
state-owned Michigan Biologic Products Institute (MBPI) last September,
Bioport landed an exclusive $29 million contract with the U.S. Department of
Defense to 'manufacture, test, bottle and store the anthrax vaccine.'
According to former Central Intelligence Agency military analyst Patrick
Eddington, the estimated $60 million worth of anthrax vaccine Bioport is
expected to produce for the Defense Department over the next five years
could just be the beginning. 'The Pentagon has a $322 million, 10-year
program to develop at least three, and perhaps as many as a dozen additional
biological warfare vaccines,' Eddington told ABCNEWS." (ABC News.com, 20/20,
March 12, 1999) "Bayer boosts production of anthrax antibiotic - The
antibiotic Cipro has gone from relative obscurity to part of America's new
vocabulary in less than two weeks.

Just 14 months since Bayer Corp. became the only company to receive Food and
Drug Administration approval to produce the anthrax antibiotic, demand is
exploding. Bayer, which has a patent on the drug until 2003, has begun
producing Cipro seven days a week, 24 hours a day...On Tuesday, the company
announced it would more than triple production of the drug and has told the
government it will be able to deliver 200 million tablets in the next three
months..." (Oct.16, 2001, MSNBC) "Several people taking Cipro have developed
toxic shock reactions. A half-dozen ambulance calls to new building in last
couple days. . . people having convulsions." (Drudge/Lucianne.com, Oct.19,
2001) "Antibiotics Help in 2nd Anthrax Case - ...Dr. Arthur M. Friedlander,
an anthrax expert at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious
Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md., said... 'There is some data in animals
suggesting that treatment [for anthrax] later in the course of infection
with antibiotics can be successful in some cases,'..." (Las Vegas Sun,
Oct.16, 2001) The "silver" is the first news report above refers to money.
However, I would like to discuss another use of silver that might benefit
God's seeking people in these last days.
Anthrax (a bacteria) is certainly in the news. This is stage-setting for the
Tribulational fulfillment of Luke 21:11. We know the worst is therefore yet
to come to the world. Through watching, waiting, and casting our cares on
the Lord, He will take care of us in these perilous times. Since anthrax,
etc. is in the news, I would also like to share a practical bit of insight I
have discovered. Perhaps the reader has never heard of colloidal silver. I
have to admit that when "Pa Vincent" first began attending our church a few
years ago, I was VERY skeptical when he first explained it. I knew he had
much experience living among the Mennonites, etc. and had learned many
self-reliance skills over the years. But the idea of hooking a battery
generator to pure silver wire (not sterling) and then "zapping" a glass of
water seemed to me about as nutty as one could get! Over the years we have
been blessed in the Lord to often avoid taking drugs by using various herbs
such as garlic (a natural antibiotic), goldenseal (a natural antibiotic),
yarrow (for coughs), mullein (for coughs), etc. Don't get me wrong. I praise
God for good doctors when we need them (Col.4:14). But many people take
dangerous, expensive drugs unnecessarily (and weaken their immune systems),
when they could easily build UP their immune systems with a little "poor
man's medicine" and good deal of prayer. When relaxing, I love to research
the amazing nutritional value of wild foods, the healing benefits of herbs,
and the nutritional benefits of eating REAL food (not modern man's
imitation, antibiotic-laced, hormone-laced, preservative-laced, refined,
chemical "food products").

I like my Bible and my daily bread both to be the "real thing." So I am not
one of those people that believe that if something is "modern", and in a
package with pretty pictures on it, it must be good for you. I like my Bible
with the "thee's" and the "thou's", and similarly, if food looks too pretty,
I know someone has corrupted it with dyes, waxes, dips, chemicals, etc. I
believe that we need to read between the lines. I believe God protects His
seeking people. I also believe that God protects the poor (Luke 6:20), if
they will be wise and not simpleminded. There are thousands of families that
home-school (with stay-at-home moms) that often cannot afford expensive
medical bills. They cannot afford to pop prescription antibiotics at the
slightest signs of sickness. Since I know God takes care of His people, I
would expect inexpensive, healing alternatives to exist. I also would expect
many to have financial reasons for keeping these alternatives as quiet as
possible. (You can't patent silver; but you CAN get a patent for various
drugs! Read between the lines.) I therefore should have expected colloidal
silver to be a Godsend. Yet, the idea of hooking a battery up to my drinking
water initially appeared about as far away from my ideas of what is healthy
as one could get! But after a year or so of off and on research and watching
others who were using silver (I wanted to make sure they didn't start
picking up radio signals or talking with static!), I became convinced of its
amazing ability to fight infections. As a teen, I would have to take
prescription antibiotics for a regular occurrence of strep throat. After
coming down with one of the worst cases I ever had awhile back, I tried some
colloidal silver and, by God's grace, was healed. I had never been able to
"kick" strep throat without penicillin, etc. before. I began to realize that
the silver indeed kills whatever little "beasties" get in its path! When the
particles are suspended in water by an electrical charge, they do no harm to
the human body.

But these particles are DEADLY to the little beasties!
Why am I writing this article? One reason is that everywhere I read in the
news I see ANTHRAX and the possible danger of biological warfare. The other
reason is that colloidal silver is so handy around the house I hate to think
that some fellow Christians have not heard about it yet. I recently saw a
headline about how hospitals might be unprepared to handle a national
outbreak. I read about drugs with strange names selling out. There is talk
about buying and stockpiling antibiotics from feed stores. I immediately
reasoned that it would seem logical that even the little biological beasties
(such as anthrax) would not be able to stand before colloidal silver if it
was digested in time, and taken in a large enough amount. It is reportedly
one of the most powerful, natural antibiotics. It works by disabling the
enzyme that one-celled bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites need for their
oxygen metabolism. Therefore, it suffocates them! (Yet, it reportedly does
not harm the beneficial tissue-cell enzymes since they are more complex than
the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. However, to preserve beneficial
intestinal bacteria, buy some real yogurt at a health food store. Save a
bit, and then make your own.) Antibiotics kill 6 or so disease organisms;
silver is said to kill at least 650! Another amazing thing is that when it
kills, resistant strains fail to develop. Also, people do not eventually
develop immunity to this natural antibiotic. In spite of all this, sadly,
many are forced today to sell colloidal silver as ONLY a nutritional
supplement. They are not allowed to make any medical claims. After further
study, I found that silver is indeed reported to be highly effective against
anthrax and other dangerous biological agents. In one of the first articles
I found in my research ("Hi Ho Silver Away! Mild Silver Protein and its
effectiveness against internal and topical infections"), James South MA.
writes: "Silver is surprisingly non-toxic to humans and animals. And unlike
the other heavy metals, Silver has a long history of successful medical and
public health use dating back 6000 years!...The modern era of Silver usage
began in 1893, when C. Von Nageli reported the first systematic
investigation into the lethal effects of metals [especially silver] towards
bacteria and lower life forms....To primitive life forms oligodynamic silver
is as toxic as the most powerful chemical disinfectants and this, coupled
with its relative harmlessness to [animal] life, gives it great potential as
a disinfectant...However, with the coming of the antibiotic era, Silver
rapidly fell into disuse and the medical 'memory hole', as it was replaced
first by sulfa drugs, then penicillin (post WWII), and since then by
hundreds of specialized antibiotics...Yet by the 1990's the picture began to
change again...more and more germ species previously controlled by
antibiotics began to develop ways to combat antibiotics. This in turn gave
rise to so-called 'super-germs', such as killer E. coli, 'flesh-eating'
strep A bacteria...[etc.]...The overprescription of antibiotics by doctors
under pressure from their patients, for ailments where they are useless
(e.g. against common viral diseases such as cold and flu); the failure of
patients to take the full course of their prescribed antibiotics (allowing
germs to recover and develop antibiotic resistance); and the widespread use
of low-level antibiotics in animal feed to increase farmer's profits (40% of
U.S. antibiotics go into animal feed), have all helped create
antibiotic-resistant bacteria...hosts of exotic diseases once isolated to
small areas of the planet are now showing up all over. Malaria is once again
returning to the U.S.

The exotic and deadly Ebola virus has broken out in a lab in Maryland.
Shigella (which causes dysentery) was practically unheard of in America
before 1990, but it is now being spread from contaminated fruits and
vegetables imported into the U.S. under NAFTA, and is now routinely seen at
clinics in California. Perhaps the scariest scenario that may present a need
for a powerful, broad-spectrum antimicrobial such as Silver is the late
1990's threat of 'bioterrorism.' It is now widely expected by biowarfare and
terrorism experts that, whether due to small groups of terrorists, or as a
form of warfare by 'rogue'/totalitarian nations...it is only a matter of
time before 'germ warfare' is unleashed in Europe or America...It is
interesting to note that silver - both in liquid solution and as an
airborne-aerosol - has been known since 1887 to be extremely toxic to
ANTHRAX spores...And it is widely reported in the medical literature on
Silver that various forms of Silver, often at surprisingly low
concentrations, routinely kills germs that are known to be
antibiotic-resistant...unlike antibiotics, Silver is an 'equal opportunity
destroyer' - it doesn't discriminate, but effectively kills germs of all
major types: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, spore-forming
bacteria, fungus/yeasts, viruses and protozoal parasites....In short, as
pioneering silver researcher Dr. Henry Margraf has stated, 'Silver is the
best all round germ-fighter we have.'...Many of the doctors using silver in
the first half of the 20th century preferred a colloidal form of Silver,
either chemically or electrically produced...Colloidal Silver and mild
Silver protein (MSP) are useful in treating virtually any infectious
condition; they were used to treat literally hundreds of infectious
conditions from 1900 to 1940..." Colloidal suspension might seem strange.
But homogenized milk is an example of a colloidal suspension. Colloidal
silver is available in most health food stores. You can make it yourself
with a generator. If you can't someone in church to teach you how to make
one, just look up how to make construct one "online." (For example, see:
http://www.millennium-ark.net/News_Files/Colloidal_Silver.html) Or if you
choose, buy a generator. You will also need pure silver wire. $10 will get
you a foot of pure silver wire from various companies. (For example, see:
http://www.utopiasilver.com/silverwire.htm).

Some claim that the best protection against biological warfare agents is to
have the colloidal silver in your system at the time of exposure. Of course,
if you think you have been exposed to anthrax, go see a doctor. However, if
there is ever a widespread problem, and hospitals or doctors are
unavailable, it appears that wisdom would tell us to pray, and then give
some regular doses of colloidal silver to each member of the family! [The
statements in this article have certainly not been evaluated by the United
States Food and Drug Administration. You should consult your health care
professional for individual guidance for specific health problems.
