North Carolina: Killer Bacteria in Water

In Only Two Weeks Deadly Brain Infection Killed Eddie Gray

7-26-19, Swimmer, Eddie Gray, Christian family man, 59, died after he contracted a deadly parasite Naegleria fowleri brain eating bacteria on what was meant to be a fun day out with friends at Fantasy Lake Water Park in North Carolina. The operations supervisor fell ill after a 7/12/19 trip to the water park. He sought medical help but died less than two weeks later, on July 22, 2019. There have been other cases in the USA:

• A  four-year-old boy from Louisiana picked up the deadly Naegleria fowleri while playing on a homemade water slide. 
• California woman Kelsey McClain, 24, contracted the brain infection and died after entering her nose while she was swimming in the Colorado River in 2016. 

N. fowleri causes the brain to swell, causing vomiting, delirium and seizures. The  amoeba causes a brain infection that leads to the destruction of tissue. In its early stages, symptoms may be similar to bacterial meningitis. 

• The organism does not cause illness if swallowed, but can be deadly if forced through the nose while swimming. 
• There is currently no known cure for the amoeba. 
• Since 1962 only 145 cases in the USA.

Water samples were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirming that Mr Gray had caught the parasite from the water park. More here

Colloidal Silver has been known as an effective antibiotic for centuries. In the early 1900s, Alfred Searle, founder of the Searle pharmaceutical company, discovered that it could kill the most deadly pathogens. Searle stated that applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishing results. The main advantage was that it was rapidly fatal to microbes without toxic action on its host. Recent research has also stated that colloidal silver can destroy antibiotic resistant microbes like MRSA, the bird flu and SARS.
