Two years ago, young Canadian science
student Adam Noble won $42,900 in prizes and scholarships, for his work on
using silver nanoparticles to cure cancer.
Now, he’s in medical school, while
simultaneously working with several prominent Canadian cancer research
organizations to perfect what he believes will be a cure for childhood
neuroblastoma cancer – a serious and debilitating form of cancer that kills 50%
of children afflicted with it.
Here’s the story that could eventually change
the way thousands of childhood cancer patients are treated, as well as change
the outcomes from largely negative to largely positive…
Hi, Steve Barwick
here, for The Silver Edge…
According to the
Canadian newspaper Peterborough This Week, a young Canadian undergraduate science student named Adam Noble “believes
he may have discovered a breakthrough in the cure for cancer.”
In an April 2013
article, the newspaper states, “If all
goes as planned, future cancer patients could rely on one Lakefield student's
discoveries and research for treatment.”
At age 19, Noble
had already gained international fame by winning thousands of dollars in prizes
and scholarships for his science projects on silver nanoparticle extraction
from waste water – a process he patented and claims will allow waste water
treatment plants to reclaim millions of dollars worth of silver from waste
water at a relatively low cost.
Making Money v/s Saving Lives
But making money is
not Noble’s main goal in life; helping save lives is.
Now in medical
school, and recently featured on CBC’s The
Natural, Noble works in conjunction with The Hospital for Sick Children of
Toronto, Canada, which helps fund clinical studies into neurological cancers.
He also works with
the University of Calgary and The James Fund of Peterborough, Canada, which
helps fund cancer research into childhood neuroblastoma.
According to the
newspaper Peterborough This Week,
Noble’s latest award-winning work with silver nanoparticles might just be the
next anti-cancer breakthrough:
“In working with different combinations
of [silver] nanoparticles, Adam has developed a way to target cancer cells and
effectively fight them.
…To test his theories, Adam planted a
cancerous tumour into a chicken embryo, which then embraced the tumour and grew
blood vessels which attached to it.
He then injected the nanoparticles into a
blood vessel on the opposite side of the embryo. The particles were immediately
directed to the cancerous tumour and within eight days, Adam saw the tumour
decrease in size by 45 per cent. After 48 hours, he found 75 per cent of the
particles went straight to the tumour.
…So far, Adam has tested the effects of
nanoparticles on various cancer cells including neuroblastoma, cervical cancer,
skin cancer and lung cancer. The method appears to be universal, Adam says with
a big smile.
While he's still modest about the work, he's
not afraid to say his research could be a breakthrough. While he's had the
support of Sick Kids hospital, the University of Calgary and the James Fund
behind him, the research is all his own.
From developing and patenting the filtration
method to reclaim nanosilver to coming up with a combination of particles to
target cancer cells, Adam is working with products no researcher ever
has.
"I'm very excited," he says.
"It's pretty amazing."
According to Dr.
David Kaplan, of The Hospital for Sick Children in Canada:
“Adam has come across something original and
new.
And we’re working in a field in kid’s cancer
where half the kids with the particular cancer we study, which is called
neuroblastoma, will likely die from their cancer, because we have no real
treatment…no cure…and we’re looking for new ideas.
And what Adam has come up with is a new
idea. And that’s great.”
Of course, using
silver nanoparticles to stop cancer cells from proliferating, and even to kill
them, is not a particularly new
idea.
In fact, many other
studies have already been conducted, confirming the ability of silver
nanoparticles to kill cancer cells. For
example, see:
What’s truly new
and innovative about Noble’s work is that he’s directing it toward a specific
form of cancer -- childhood neuroblastoma – which, as Dr. Kaplan of the
Hospital for Sick Children in Canada points out above, kills 50% of those
children afflicted with it.
“Don’t Worry…”
According to an
online interview with Noble conducted by Diana Birrell, Executive Director of
the James Fund, “Noble is one of the
young scientists we’re investing in to bring about the day when no child dies
from neuroblastoma cancer.”
Here’s part of the
interview:
Diana:
You’re about to work with James Fund scientists Dr. Kaplan and Loen
Hansford, some of the best scientists in the world working on neuroblastoma, one
of the deadliest cancers in the world. What does that mean to you?
Adam: It’s a dream come true. I think a lot of
people my age want to make a difference; we want to contribute and do something
that makes the world better.
I never thought I’d have a chance this early in my career and life to
work with some of the best scientists on one of the toughest cancers.
I want to learn everything I can and work as hard as possible to help
The James Fund see a day when no family loses their child to neuroblastoma.
Diana: What do you hope to come away with from
your time with The James Fund?
Adam: …I can’t imagine a better training ground
to prepare me for the medical career I hope to have. That’s my professional
goal.
But I have a personal one too…I’d like to be part of the team that can
turn to the desperate parents of very sick children and say “yes your child has
neuroblastoma but don’t worry. It
used to be fatal but it’s not anymore.”
I hope to be able to look back one day and have been part of making that
possible for sick children and their families. That would mean a great deal to
me as a person.
According to the
James Fund spokesperson, “With the
continued support of The James Fund, Adam’s promising new cancer therapy will
go to preclinical trials this fall.
Adam’s planned career path is medical research following completion of a
medical degree and a PhD program.”
According to Peterborough This Week, “Pre-clinical
trials for Adam’s work in cancer treatment will start up in collaboration with
Sick Kids and Princess Margaret hospitals in Toronto.
The medical
experiments will be the first of their kind to happen at Trent University. The
trials are expensive and the team is currently looking for donations, he says.

Mr. Noble says
he'll be forever grateful to the James Fund, the Peterborough-based charity
focusing on children's cancer research. "Diana (Birrell) at the James Fund
really had faith in me and my hypothesis," he says. "Without them, I
wouldn't be here."
Colloidal Silver and Cancer
Of course,
colloidal silver – a safe, natural nutritional supplement which can be
purchased in just about any well-stocked health food store in America -- is
often used as a nutritional adjunct to cancer treatment by natural
health-oriented individuals.
Though the FDA
frowns on the use of colloidal silver for any
medical purpose, many cancer sufferers have claimed to experience dramatic results
when adding colloidal silver to their daily nutritional supplement regimen.
For some
fascinating but strictly anecdotal accounts of people using colloidal silver to
help heal various forms of cancer – including prostate cancer, skin cancer,
kidney cancer and more -- see the article at this link, “Colloidal Silver and Cancer.”
However, always keep in mind that colloidal silver should never be considered a “cure” for any
form of cancer, nor a substitute for medical treatment for cancer. It’s simply a nutritional supplement.
There have been no clinical
studies to date demonstrating that the oral use of colloidal silver, or any
other form of silver, can actually cure cancer in human beings, though there
have been a number of clinical test tube studies – including Adam Noble’s,
discussed above -- demonstrating various forms of silver to kill cancer cells
and to reduce the size of tumors.
This means one should never forego medical treatment in favor of
colloidal silver or any other nutritional supplement solely on the basis of
online news stories or anecdotal accounts.
Be wise. Run everything by your
specialist.
Make Your Own Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver can be very expensive – as much as $20 to $30
for a tiny four-ounce bottle at most health food stores. But here’s the good news:
If
you’re a do-it-yourselfer, like me, you can learn here how astonishingly inexpensive it
is to make your own high-quality colloidal silver (i.e., about a penny
per ounce) with a Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver
Edge.
This
means there’s no longer any need to pay $20 or $30 for a tiny, four-ounce
bottle of colloidal silver in health food stores, when you can make it yourself by the quart for about 32 cents.
If
you’re skeptical, or if you think it must be a difficult process, at this link you’ll discover how incredibly simple it is to make your own colloidal
silver.
Indeed,
with a device that’s as simple to operate as a coffee pot (see above photo of
the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, or click here),
just about anyone can make their own high-quality
colloidal silver for just a few pennies per quart!
Meanwhile, I’ll be back next week with another great article on colloidal silver….

Yours for the safe, sane and responsible
use of colloidal silver,
