Press Release Summary = James Matthews, MD who has been a Morgellons sufferer
himself for more than 2 years, discovers an \"Effective Therapy\" for the treatment of
some Morgellons symptoms




Press Release Body = In an open letter to the Morgellons Community, Dr. Matthews
states that he has preliminary data that indicates that a special suspension of
Ionized, Colloidal Silver in distilled water, (also known as \"clustered silver\"),
\"is an effective therapy for some of the symptoms in some of the patients suffering
with Morgellons Syndrome, and endorse trials of its use for this mysterious
condition.\"
After being exposed to his first Morgellons victim about 2 1/2 years ago, 3 months
later he started observing symptoms in himself. \"I used almost every available
method of Advanced Western Medicine over a period of two years\", says Dr. Matthews.
Regarding his first experience with this \"clustered silver\", he describes \"A unique,
deep tissue Herx occurred which gave way to greater feelings of well being and
physical health than I had not previously experienced with any other method.\"
He then gave a mixture of the \"clustered silver\" with water to his 2 sickest
patients. With one patient that had no lesions \"we observed only slight
improvement\", while with another suffering from multiple bodily and facial lesions
\"...the results were dramatic. Within days his skin started clearing. He declared he
felt \"very good\", with improved mental processes and mood, and increased energy.\"
Dr. Matthews explains that the \"clustered silver\" is a \"special suspension of
Ionized, Colloidal Silver in distilled water. The suspension is created through a
unique proprietary process where water is negatively charged and clustered so that
the silver is well suspended, and theoretically better absorbed.\" We know that
\"Colloidal Silver has a long history of use as an anti-microbial agent\", and there
are studies showing that this \"clustered silver\" kills multiple pathogens in culture
very effectively as well.
In spite of his observations, Dr. Matthews warns that before considering the use of
\"clustered silver\", \"discuss this with your personal physician. Everyone needs to
know that in 1999, the FDA declared in a \"Final Ruling\" that, \"all over-the-counter
(OTC) drug products containing colloidal silver or silver salts are not recognized
as safe and effective and are misbranded\".\"
He goes on to explain, \"On the other hand, we\'re dealing with a special situation
here. To begin with, Morgellons wasn\'t widely known in 1999 when the FDA ruling was
made, and even today, the CDC hasn\'t recognized Morgellons as a disease.\". He
explains that considering the suffering of many people in the Morgellons community
is so severe, that they may feel, after consultation with their personal physicians,
that given how some have benefited, a trial of \"clustered silver\" may be worth the
tiny risk of argyria.\"
What should Morgellons suffers do now? \"The choice to try it or not, is a very
personal one, where each individual must consider: their degree of suffering; other
options; costs; risks; the FDA\'s ruling; and most importantly, the recommendations
of their personal physician.\"
Eventually, Dr. Matthews would like to conduct clinical trials, so he\'s requesting
sufferers, after consulting with their own personal physician, if anyone does choose
to use \"clustered silver\" for Morgellons, please let us know how it goes. \"We hope
to compile data about any possible risks, and benefits, and use this information in
a \"New drug\" application to the FDA for clinical trials.\", he continues.
Dr. Matthews is committed to solving the Morgellons mystery. He\'s set up Advanced
Medicine, L.L.C., a new non-profit company that he directs. He says \"I hope to raise
more money for Morgellons research within the next year, than all of the other
organizations, in all of the previous years put together.\" and states that \"100% of
the monies we receive go directly back into the support of clinical and scientific
research in Morgellons.\"
His letter concludes, \"Standing together now, we will find answers, and we will
begin to offer more relief for those suffering.\"
