Learn about Mycoplasma from the Bible

One of the members of the “New Generation” bacteria being studied by scientists is a species of bacteria called Mycoplasma's. Mycoplasma's are most unusual self-replicating bacteria, possessing very small genomes, lacking a cell wall, passing through "bacterial-retaining" filters, displaying genetic economy that requires a strict dependence on the host for nutrients and refuge and which cause various diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Although most mycoplasma's are not considered important human pathogens, some species, such as M. fermentans, M. penetrans, M. pneumoniae, M. genitalium, M. pirum, M. arthritidis, and M. hominis, among others, have been closely associated with various human diseases.

In 1997, the National Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, published the article, Mycoplasmas: Sophisticated, Reemerging, and Burdened by Their Notoriety, by Drs. Baseman and Tully who stated:

“Nonetheless, mycoplasma's by themselves can cause acute and chronic diseases at multiple sites with wide-ranging complications and have been implicated as cofactors in disease. Recently, mycoplasma's have been linked as a cofactor to AIDS pathogenesis and to malignant transformation, chromosomal aberrations, the Gulf War Syndrome, and other unexplained and complex illnesses, including chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's disease, and various arthritidis.”

Extensive clinical research is being performed around the world to further investigate how mycoplasma's contribute to the cause or progression of diseases in people, plants and animals. Follow these links below to learn more about Mycoplasma.

Information on Mycoplasma

March 5, 2002:  Cox2 Enzyme, Copper, Zinc and Mycoplasma links 

The fungicidal properties of Copper have  been known about for years and it  has been used as a  fungicide in farming, drinking water and to control many different types of fungal over growth  in lakes streams and water  reservoirs. 

A database in Rumania and on a US IBM site described links found between copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium, COX-2 enzyme, and Mycoplasma suggesting that these metals in the form of metalloenzymes (or the deficiency of the metals in the case of the enzyme production) play a role in the immune system’s reactions to microbes (certain strains of mycoplasmas). The reactions accompany the production of destructive H₂O₂ (hydrogen peroxide) in the inflamed synovial tissue where the mycoplasmas reside. Other researchers are studying the chelation actions of antibiotics vs metalloenzymes.  The puzzle is how to explain the beneficial effects of chelation, which removes metals, and the beneficial addition of certain metal ions (copper and zinc) in cases of bacterial infections.  A similar puzzle involves the beneficial effects of increases in folic acid as a nutrient vs the beneficial effect of the tetracyclenes, which inhibit folic acid synthesis in microbes, and also  perform chelation.

NEW INFORMATION ON COPPER AND YEAST INFECTIONS

     Copper is a natural anti-fungal agent.  Farmers often spray copper sulfate on fruits and vegetables to kill molds.  City water departments may add copper compounds to the drinking water for the same reason.  Most if not all individuals who are prone to yeast infection have a copper imbalance.  A nutrition program must correct this imbalance or the yeast problem will never be fully corrected.

            A protein manufactured in the liver is important to control copper metabolism.  This protein is ceruloplasmin.  The adrenal glands stimulate ceruloplasmin production.  Under active or exhausted adrenal glands, or sluggish liver activity, cause a decrease in ceruloplasmin production.  As a result, copper is not properly bound, and becomes unavailable to the body.

            Birth Control pills raise copper levels, as do antibiotics,  some of which act by removing copper from the liver.  Both prolonged antibiotic therapy and birth control pill use are known to increase the tendency for chronic yeast infection.  Cortisone therapy can cause yeast infections.  It is known that cortisone (steroid) therapy slows the adrenal glands.  By doing so, copper becomes less available in the body.

            Women are more prone to yeast infection.  It is no coincidence that copper imbalance is much more prevalent in women.  Women in general have more sluggish adrenal glands than men.  Copper levels in women rise before the menstrual period.  This is a common time of the month for women to experience yeast infections.  Improving adrenal gland activity and copper balance is a key for correcting many yeast problems.

            Other toxic metals such as mercury can play a role.  Mercury, for example, can impair immune system activity and thereby promote improper intestinal flora.  Once again, a year or more may be needed to slowly remove chronic mercury toxicity.  Restoring the adrenal and thyroid activity is also most important.  Otherwise, continuing copper imbalance will slow or prevent healing progress.

The body needs copper for normal growth and health. For patients who are unable to get enough copper in their regular diet or who have a need for more copper, copper supplements may be necessary. They are generally taken by mouth but some patients may have to receive them by injection. Copper is needed to help your body use iron. It is also important for nerve function, bone growth, and to help your body use sugar.

Lack of copper may lead to anemia and osteoporosis (weak bones).

Copper is needed by all tissues. It is involved in the production of collagen, the protein responsible for structural integrity of bone, cartilage, skin, and tendon. It is also involved in the production of elastin, the protein that is mainly responsible for the elastic properties of blood vessels and skin. Further, copper is a component of the enzyme copper-zinc dismutase and the protein ceruplasmin, both of which inhibit free radical formation and damage.

Copper helps maintain the structural integrity of cell membranes, allowing for normal body functioning. It is heavily involved in the production of hemoglobin, the carrier of oxygen in the blood.*

Some conditions may increase your need for copper. These include:

Burns, Diarrhea, Intestine disease, Kidney disease, Pancreas disease, Stomach removal, Stress, continuing

Ionic Molybdenum

Minerals for Life™  is a dietary supplement for the mineral Silver in an aqueous solution as an advanced proprietary molecular delivery system.

In humans, the active biological form of molybdenum is known as the Molybdenum cofactor “Moco”. Moco is a cofactor in four human enzymes: xanthine dehydrogenase, xanthine oxidase, sulfite oxidase, and aldehyde oxidase. Due to its role in these enzyme systems, Molybdenum is essential and has been implicated in several health issues.

Molybdenum deficient diets fed to animals has resulted in slowed weight gain, decreased food consumption, impaired reproduction, and a shortened life expectancy.

Sulfites, which are used as a food additive, are a common substance to which individuals can become sensitized and develop allergies. Sulfite is also toxic to the nervous system. Since Molybdenum is necessary for sulfite oxidase, an enzyme which helps the body deal with these substances. It has been suggested that molybdenum may help promote healthy airways.*

In addition, yeasts in the body produce a by-product called acetaldehyde, a toxic substance resulting in several health consequences. In fact, acetaldehyde is the compound that produces the symptoms in an alcohol “hang-over.” Molybdenum plays a role as a cofactor in helping break down acetaldehyde to a form that actually provides the body with energy.* Molybdenum plays a large role in the detoxification pathway for acetaldehyde in the human body.*

Molybdenum has also been implicated in helping to promote healthy and normal cellular replication.* Due to molybdenum’s role in aldehyde oxidase, it may play a role in the detoxification of some carcinogenic xenobiotics.* A xenobiotic is a totally synthetic product not naturally occurring in nature (i.e. a man-made chemical). Molybdenum is also involved in cofactors that are required for enzyme activity by some of the good bacteria of the large intestine. Some of these molybdenum dependent enzymes may, again, be involved in detoxifying carcinogenic xenobiotics.*

Molybdenum also plays a role in purine metabolism. It is needed to convert purine to uric acid. As such, excessive intake of Molybdenum could, in rare cases, increase uric acid levels and potentially trigger gout.

Molybdenum is an antagonist to copper. Therefore, it has also been helpful in those struggling with excessive copper in the body.* Molybdenum also has a relationship to iron, playing a role in enzyme dependent processes involving this mineral.

No recommended dietary allowance (RDA) has been established for molybdenum. The estimated range recommended by the Food and Nutrition Board as safe and adequate is 75–250 micrograms per day for adults.

The volume of scientific studies on sulfur is enormous. It turns out that sulfur is the most complex element of them all. It is used in the production of sulfuric acid as well as gunpowder. Sulfur is the basis of all modem sulfa drugs. Some studies have shown it to have high anti-yeast, anti-parasite and anti-virus effectiveness. Sulfur was the chief antibiotic used in the U.S.A. until the mid 1900's. Every corner pharmacy sold the yellow powder for every kind of infection and skin irritation imaginable. Sulfur has been proven safe and effective by millions of people in dozens of countries over hundreds of years. Due to its accepted use, sulfur has received a FDA approval for the treatment of acne. It is time to re-introduce sulfur, an old remedy, forgotten only in the last 50 years. 

Sulfur from volcanic ash:

An acid-forming mineral that is part of the chemical structure of the amino acids methionine, cysteine, taurine, and glutathione, sulfur disinfects the blood, helps the body to resist bacteria, and protects the protoplasm of the cells. It aids in necessary oxidation reactions in the body, stimulates bile secretion, and protects against toxic substances.  Because of its ability to protect against the harmful effects of radiation and pollution, sulfur slows down the aging process.  It is found in hemoglobin and in all body tissues, and is needed for the synthesis of collagen, a principle protein that gives the skin its structural integrity.

Other Sources:

Brussels sprouts, dried beans, cabbage, eggs, fish, garlic, kale, meats, onions, soybeans, turnips, and wheat germ contain sulfur, as do the herbs horsetail and the amino acids cysteine, cystine, lysine, and methionine.  Sulfur is also available in tablet, capsule or powder form for internal use.

The highest concentrations of sulfur are found in cartilage, tendons, and keratin, a tough, fibrous protein substance that forms such structures as nails and hair. Sulfur supports growth and strength of nails and hair. Nutritional sulfur is required by many functions of the body. For instance, the production of insulin in the body requires sulfur in its molecular structure and numerous other proteins.* Protein catalysts and enzymes incorporate sulfur into their molecular framework. Proper protein synthesis can be achieved only with water-soluble sulfur to maintain the correct molecular framework for soft and connective tissue throughout the human body. Sulfur also promotes joint health and movement.* Sulfur increases blood circulation and supports muscle health.*

Water-soluble sulfur in its pure form, is an oil . Due to the fact that it is almost impossible to put into a water-soluble form, it is extremely scarce in nature. It is believed the sulfur oil used in the Minerals for Life sulfur solution helps to repair the myelin sheath.* The myelin sheath promotes calm, controlled motor functioning.*

Sulfur also is a factor in healthy skin, blood cells, and collagen.* When the body replaces old skin cells, a proper balance of sulfur will encourage the development of smooth skin.* It has been referred to as “Nature’s Beauty Mineral.”

Sulfur plays an important part in tissue breathing, the process whereby oxygen and other substances are used to build cells and release energy.*

Sulfur supplementation helps support respiratory function, lung health, and promotes ease of breathing.*

Sulfur promotes energy, mental calmness, and the ability to concentrate.*

Sulfur helps the liver produce choline and promotes intestinal health by coating the intestinal tract.*

Sulfur has also been extremely helpful in supporting a healthy urinary tract and regularity. Sulfur scavenges free radicals and acts as a potent antioxidant.* It assists with detoxifying the body, allowing water and nutrients to flow freely into cells and waste products and toxins to flow out.*

Persons with sensitivities to environmental materials, such as house dust, pollen, wool, animal hair, feathers, and others have reported substantial benefit from sulfur supplementation.*

Proper water-soluble sulfur levels are useful in promoting the health of the body when exposed to radiation. Sulfur promotes a healthy musculoskeletal system.* A combination of sulfur and vitamin C has shown even greater benefits.*

Sulfur works in indirect ways to maintain life, playing a major role in the production of antibodies, hormones, insulin, adrenal cortical hormones, and enzymes.*

Sulfur forms covalent bonds with carbon, which may play a large role in maintaining the health of tissues and organs in the body and assists with body repair.*

Ionic Silver

Silver is a very powerful natural antibiotic. It has been used for thousands of years in its less effective solid form. But in recent decades it has been used in its colloidal form. Doctors have connected silver with our body's natural defense system. When our body has enough silver, it's like having a second immune system.*

It’s high time to begin utilizing nature’s way of supporting our immune system!

Skeptical?  Go to the Internet and search by typing in “silver for health” and then hang on to your keyboard!  There are literally hundreds of web sites talking about the benefits of silver.  Our water-soluble silver is not colloidal and represents a revolutionary breakthrough in silver technology as far as effectiveness, cost and safety are concerned.

What is water-soluble, ionic (not colloidal) silver?

Water-soluble silver is a pure, all-natural substance consisting of sub-microscopic particles of pure silver in ultra-pure water.  The silver is ionic, water-soluble and will form crystals when dehydrated attesting to its water-soluble nature.  This product is distinctly different from colloidal silver!  Because of its extreme smallness of particle size it can and will penetrate the cell membrane on contact resulting in nearly total cell assimilation.  This is something the colloidal particles cannot do because of their large structure.  

What does water-soluble silver do?  Silver is a powerful, all natural bactericidal agent.  Silver complements the body’s immune system by providing additional protection against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.  In addition, silver has been shown to be active against many strains of antibiotic resistant microbes.  Its application has use in a wide variety of conditions and taken regularly, water-soluble silver supports a healthy immune system thereby resulting in enhanced feelings of energy and vitality.

Silver in ancient and recent history: Silver has benefited mankind’s health for thousands of years.  In ancient Greece and Rome people used silver to keep liquids fresh.  American settlers traveling across the West put a silver dollar in milk to delay its spoiling.  The term “blue blood” came from the fact that the rich folk did not get sick as often as the commoners did. Many health historians say this was the case because the rich ate from real silver ware and drank from real silver containers, while the commoners ate from clay and wood utensils.  Silver was put into most babies’ eyes at birth to kill the germs, which caused infant blindness.  Silver was the treatment of the day back at the turn of the century, and even today a silver compound, silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) is used in most of the major burn centers in the United States because of its capabilities to fight infection so effectively.

Dr. Robert Becker of the medical center at Syracuse University noticed a correlation between low silver levels and sickness.  People who had low levels of silver frequently suffered from a weakened immune system.  He believes a silver deficiency is the reason for improper functioning of the immune system.

What are the key characteristics of Silver?  Silver is non-toxic, non-addictive and has no known side effects.  Water-soluble silver cannot cause harm to the liver, kidneys or any other organ in the body.  Water-soluble silver is colorless, odorless, non-stinging, and harmless to the eyes.  It contains no free radicals, is harmless to the human enzymes and has no reaction with traditional medications.  Silver complements the body’s immune system by providing additional protection against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.  In addition, silver has been shown to be active against many strains of antibiotic resistant microbes.

How & why does Silver work?  Silver is a natural bactericidal agent.  A bactericide is a compound that has the ability to kill bacterial microorganisms.  The presence of silver near invading organisms or any other single-celled pathogenic organism disables its metabolism enzyme or “chemical lung”.  Within 6 minutes the pathogen suffocates and dies and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and excretory systems.  Unlike traditional

Antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of single-celled organisms.  Silver is absolutely safe for humans, animals, birds, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter.  It is important to realize that antibiotics never kill viruses and that there are many strains of antibiotic resistant microbes.  Unlike the case of antibiotics, strains resistant to silver have never been known to develop.  In fact, while each antibiotic is only generally effective against a literal handful of forms of bacteria and fungi, silver is effective against over 650 different organisms to date.
