By every description, Dr. Rima Laibow is controversial and combative.

The American doctor ─ who said she has a cure for the Ebola virus disease and whose treatment is now made available to Nigeria by an unnamed donor ─ has been campaigning against the “conspiracy” of conventional drug makers.

You guessed right ─ she is into “natural solutions”, or what is better known as alternative medicine.

She sells things like “hemp oil”  and “organic chocolate” as cure for illnesses.

In fact, Nano Silver, which arrived Nigeria on Thursday, is not classified as a drug, because it is not so certified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ─ the American equivalent of NAFDAC.

Rather, Nano Silver is classified as a “supplement”. She calls it “drug-free medicine”.

‘The Power of Ten’

Recently, she started a campaign of “10 PPM” to make Nano Silver available, saying “no one need die from Ebola: You and your friends can stop it”.

Under the scheme, you are supposed to “make the pledge of 10” ─ to get the information about Nano Silver across to 10 people.

This is how it works, according to her.

Step 1: Secure the protocol for the use of Nano Silver 10 PPM by going to her website and entering your email address.

Step 2: Calculate how much Nano Silver 10 PPM you need and make sure you have enough on hand.

Step 3: Take the Pledge for 10.  Make yourself a promise that you will send out this information on social media and by email, in your club’s website, your PTA or whatever to make sure that at least 10 other people are protected in the same way.

“Let’s do the math,” she says. “If 10,000 people protect themselves and enlist 10 each to do the same, we have a hundred thousand who will not die.  Then when they share the protection information with enough people that 10 react to each one, we have a million people. Ten of their friends and we have 10 million. One more multiplication and we have 100 million people, 1/3 of the population of the United States.”

A bit complicated, it seems, but an unnamed Nigerian has taken the offer and the solution to the Ebola outbreak may be here with us.

Nano Silver

The Nano Silver, according to Laibow, will work where vaccines do not exist or fail and are effective even when the immune system is impaired, such as in AIDS.

“While there are some suggestions of mild risks to the environment, our research shows that they are unfounded and often associated with conflicts of interest since the widespread use and acceptance of Nano Silver directly threatens both the powerful vaccine and antibiotic industries,” she said in a recent open letter to four African presidents.

She lists some of the attributes of Nano Silver as follows:

• It is widely used around the world for its anti-microbial characteristics and is, in fact, approved by the United States FDA as a surface cleaner for hospitals, food service and other health-sensitive areas because of its notable efficacy and non-toxic profile.
• Sufficient short term protection for an individual outbreak cluster is provided by the use of Nano Silver that an epidemic can be effectively prevented even after infection clusters have been established.
• Therapy can be started after infection, and normal immune function, including GI flora, is left intact to assist in recovery and prevent opportunistic co-infection.
• It is stable at room temperature.
• It offers a potentially beneficial therapy against virtually all types of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens
• It is self-sterilising, reducing its cost and increasing its usefulness in challenging circumstances.
• It is a pro-immunity nutrient.

The woman, Rima

Laibow is the medical director of the Natural Solutions Foundation.

She is a 1970 graduate of Albert Einstein College of Medicine “who believes passionately in the right every American to choose a personal health path that is free of government or corporate interference”, as her website profiles her.

Laibow has been fighting for ages against what she calls the “conspiracy of the elite” ─ she thinks many conventional drugs are just for the big companies to make money.

For instance, she has argued several times that autism is caused by vaccines which the “global elite” created in order to make profit. She has already written a book on it: “Autism: The Inside Job”.

She sees herself as an activist against the tyranny of the “global elite” ─ and fully supports the leaking of American secrets by Edward Snowden, the former employee of the US National Security Agency (NSA) who is now a fugitive in Russia.

One of her campaign materials read: “One year ago, Edward Snowden started something. It’s up to us to finish it. We support freedom of the net! Reset the net.”

She is also campaigning against the Global Health Security Initiative (GHIS), which she describes as “deadly medical tyranny”.

On her website, she writes: “I welcome you to my website where I will expose the truth about the lies that are killing us. As a licensed physician practicing drug free medicine for more than 42 years I know the truth that can save your life using safe, natural methods.”

Her profile reads: “She is  has practiced drug-free, natural medicine… by seeking the underlying cause of every illness and ailment. During this time, she has enjoyed remarkable success with a wide assortment of cataclysmic problems and health promotion efforts.

“Like other healers who trust the innate ability to heal, she believes in using nutrients and other natural options to find, define and treat the problems which underlie degenerative, chronic diseases. The key is supporting the immune and other crucial body systems.

“Dr. Laibow has seen results from these techniques so often in her patients and in her personal life, that she believes the medicine of the future is the medicine of cooperation with nature.”

Her international NGO, the Natural Solutions Foundation, has a stated mission “to discover, develop, document, demonstrate and disseminate natural solutions to the problems facing us and threatening our health and food freedom”.
