Just so you know, phenylalanine only does that to your brain if you have a condition called PKU, which is diagnosed at birth. That is why all the foods containing it have to be labeled. You can find info on it here: http://www.webmd.com/hw/raising_a_family/hw44747.asp
(I came her via the Feast of Fools, by the way, and I'm just waiting for "Faustin" to freak out about the name thing)
Thanks Bethany!
In a way I'm relieved that I can chew gum without concern now. But in another way I'm sad that I can't blame my brain troubles on some chemical I unknowlingly ingested. I guess I can always fall back on the very unglamorous excuse of getting old. *sigh*
God - Did I just use "*sigh*"??? I've been hanging around geeks too long! But hey - I don't think no old peoples are gonna understand that. So maybe I'm at least still mentally young (i.e. immature).
Shhhh...I haven't seen Fausto yet. Might make him babysit me later this week while John is out of town. I think I wanna break the news to him in person.
Damn it I wanted to see that episode. I don't watch the show but I heard Flav talk about it a week or so back on the radio. Maybe they will rerun it?
They are constantly re-running this on VH-1. Even next week after the second episode, I'm sure episode 1 will still be running. They gotta get some mileage outta that one.
It was great to hear John back, but I would have loved to have heard the fuck off's in 133. Oh well, I will just imagine them. ahhhhhhhhhhhh the Gabber Jaw fuck off! Oh Wendy, just remember the *sigh* is used by geeks, the dorks use the LOL. DORK OF THE WORLD UNITE!!!!!! God I am such a dork
The "fuck off"s (2 of them) are still in there...probably about 5-10 minutes in.
5:25 to be exact
Wow -- I was going about my business listening to the JaW until the second to the last story about the horseshoe pit.
Holy H. K-Riste on a Harley! OUCH!
I’m going to have to go back and hear what happened to our fearless Wendy and wood or something because I didn’t hear the story due to being in too much mental pain listening to the Ol’ Rusty Bum story.
My ass hurts now.
That skin disease you were talking about is a legitimate condition known as Morgellons Disease, if you want to see some truly stomach churning images try a google image search. Coast to Coast AM has done extensive coverage on the topic with some prominent physicians.
Cheers, Bully
Great show you guys, nice to have John back, just istn the same without him. Until next time...
I've had morgellon-like symptom since April, 2006. I have experienced the symptoms of crawling/itching all over my body, the lesions that don't heal, the lesions that do heal and then pop right open again, emitting the black specks, the white, thread-like thingees, and the various colored fibers. I've gone for medical treatment; they are definetly baffled. Topicals were prescribed, antibiotics, and taken. Now, I am taking NutraSilver, which seems to finally really heal the lesions, and it eases down on the strange biting sensations. Can't imagine a child ready to ever cope with this condition, but it happens to them. Hopefully there will be some kind of breakthrough with the right kind of research.
Dr. James Matthews, MD Endorses NutraSilver as an “Effective Therapy” for Some Morgellons Symptoms

Dear Morgellons Community Members,
I have some preliminary data indicating that NutraSilver is an effective therapy for some of the symptoms, in some of the patients, suffering with Morgellons Syndrome, and after new drug applications have been filed, endorse trials of its use for this mysterious condition.
About 2.5 years ago, I met my first Morgellons patient and three months later, I became a patient myself.
I sorted through all available data, what little there was, and came upon the link with Lyme disease made by William T. Harvey, M.D., M.P.H..
I used almost every available method of Advanced Western Medicine over a period of two years, including variations on: the Burrascano protocol; Shoemaker Biotoxin-binding protocol; Marshall protocol; Sherry Roger's detoxification protocols; a host of anti-parasitic medications; UV; Infrared; Saunas; Salt and C; Diatomaceous Earth; many immune boosters; regular Bikram, Dahn and Iyengar Yoga, and after all this, felt “ok”, and had been off of all prescription medications for about six months.
Then, about four weeks ago, I heard about NutraSilver and chose to try some personally.
Now, most people recognize that precipitation of a Herxheimer Reaction is a good indicator that your therapy is effective. In my case, I had precipitated these gently, and detoxified many, many times, and believed there was very little infection left in my body to cause a Herx. This turned out not to be the case. A unique, deep tissue Herx occurred which gave way to greater feelings of well being and physical health than I had previously experienced with any other method.
I recognized the potential value of this new therapy and immediately gave my two sickest patients my remaining samples.
In one of the patients, who had no lesions and had already been treated for about 1 year with my integrated protocol (above), we observed only slight improvement in his symptoms of creepy crawly and prickly sensations.
In the second patient, who had only just begun my protocol, and had been suffering with 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.
NutraSilver 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. Colloidal Silver has a long history of use as an antimicrobial agent, and there are studies showing that NutraSilver kills multiple pathogens in culture very effectively as well. I'm not aware of any toxicities with any, silver products, and the only significant side effect ever documented is argyria. This is an irreversible condition of grayish coloring of the skin that seems to occur when too much of the wrong kind silver is ingested. Best estimates indicate that a healthy 70 Kg person would need to ingest about 10 grams of Silver to be at risk for this condition. By contrast, 1 drop of NutraSilver contains only 0.090mg of Silver. In other words, a person would need to ingest over 100,000 drops of NutraSilver to even theoretically approach the risk for argyria. This may be why there has never been a single case of argyria documented with NutraSilver. Further, I've seen a study showing that properly prepared Colloidal Silver taken for two months is purged from the body at the same rate at which it is consumed. And, half of the remaining silver was purged within one month of stopping consumption. Taken together, this data suggests to me that the risk of argyria from NutraSilver is probably somewhere between extremely low and insignificant.
Before considering use of NutraSilver with your personal physician though, everyone needs to know that in 1999, the FDA had declared in a "Final Rule" that, "all over-the-counter (OTC) drug products containing colloidal silver or silver salts are not recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded." Ultimately, the FDA is the authority in this area, and this letter is in no way meant to undermine their authority.
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. Further, many people in the community are suffering so much that they may feel, after consultation with their personal physicians, that given how some have benefited, a trial of NutraSilver may be worth the tiny risk of argyria. Given how some are suffering, I can even imagine people feeling that trading Morgellons' lesions for argyria quite fair, and agreeable.
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. Further, I now know that at present, NutraSilver is classified as a nutritional supplement and can't officially be used for any diseases, symptoms, or relief, only water purification. So, any individual who chooses to use it off-label, does so, AT THEIR OWN RISK.
After consulting with their own personal physician, if anyone does choose to use NutraSilver 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.
Standing together now, we will find answers, and we will begin to offer more relief for those suffering.
Conflicts of Interest: A small percentage from the sales of NutraSilver is paid to Advanced Medicine, L.L.C., a new nonprofit company that I direct. 100% of the monies received go directly back into the support of clinical and scientific research in Morgellons. Using this method of funding, 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.
I will be available to answer some questions on the Morgellons Hope Community Forum.
Sincerely,
James Matthews, M.D.
