Clifton Mining Company Inc. (OTC : CFTN) ALPINE, UT, April 27
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Biotech Labs (ABL), a private
company (Clifton Mining Company owns about 23% of ABL) announces
that a new peer review paper has just been released. Dr. Rustum
Roy, one of the most pre-eminent materials scientist in the world,
has just co-authored an important paper. "Ultradilute Ag-Aquasols
with extraordinary bactericidal properties: role of the system
Ag-O-H(2)O" in Materials Research Innovations, vol. 11, no. 1,
(2007) pages 3-18. The focus of much of the paper is the American
Biotech Labs(R) ASAP silver aquasol products. The authors note
critical properties of this unique, patented silver aquasol
technology. The first line of the paper states: "We first establish
the literature on the use of ultradilute aquasols as extraordinary,
powerful, bactericidal inorganic agents equal to most commercial
antibiotics. These findings provide the rationale for a major role
for inorganic materials scientists to contribute the insights
unique to their field for new, safer health vectors." Pointing to
antimicrobial studies performed on American Biotech Labs(R)
products the paper states: "Table I shows a comparison of the MIC
(minimum inhibitory concentration of (tilde)1 at.-ppm silver sol in
pure water, with the most prominent antibiotics used world wide, as
fully established in both in vitro and in vivo trials.(10) Not only
is this radically different antibiotic material more or less equal
to the traditional biochemical antibiotics, it has the unique
advantage that bacteria do not mutate to destroy its activity.
Moreover, when used alongside a traditional antibiotic, as shown in
Table 2, the silver aquasol has a synergistic effect, thereby
extending the life of the efficacy of several antibiotics
tenfold(11)..." On the safety of eating silver as a metal the paper
states: "A recent paper by Das and Khanna(1) provides the
remarkable datum that some 275,000 kg. (605,000 pounds) of edible
metallic silver foil are consumed every year (in food) in India. No
known adverse health effects have ever been recorded. This
epidemiological evidence that silver as a metal is not toxic in any
way needs no comment..." The paper separates American Biotech
Labs(R) products from other silver products by identifying them as
silver aquasols stating: "Our first contribution in this direction
is a thorough review and new analysis of the structure of liquid
water(6). The study is the key starting point because of the deluge
of products loosely lumped under the term 'silver colloids' now
appearing in the U.S.A. supplements market and targeting many of
the very same, above-mentioned applications. Many of these products
claim to be dispersions of metallic particles in nearly pure water.
Some of the metals are linked to proteins and other organic
additives... Some contain 'organic silver' - presumably
metal-organic silver compounds, and some contain 'ionic' silver,
possibly in true solution... We confine ourselves only to silver
aquasols, i.e. suspensions of nominally metallic silver particles
in essentially pure water..." In the Conclusions section of the
paper it states: 1. "The very potent biologically active silver
aquasols contained, typically, the amounts of silver claimed by the
manufacturer, typically from 10-30 ppm by weight of Ag, The silver
was very pure as was the water." In other words, the "potent" ABL
silver products were very clean, metallic not ionic, and contained
the right amounts of silver. We are making the entire paper
accessible to readers on the Clifton website at

Biotech Labs button on Clifton's main page, four choices will
appear, scroll down to the last one called "Dr. Roy Paper". The
entire peer review paper will appear. The American Biotech Labs(R)
products can be found at better health food stores nation wide (ie.
GNC Stores etc.) under both the Silver Biotics(R) and ASAP
Solution(R) labels. Clifton trades on the U.S. OTC: (CFTN). Note:
