  1. Les secrets de l’argile 6ème Réunion du Groupe Consultatif Spécial de l’OMS sur l’Ulcère de Buruli Unraveling Clay’s Secrets Thierry Brunet de Courssou Geneva, xx March 2003 www.BuruliBusters.com www.ActionBuruli.com

  2. Dennis Eberl (US Geological Survey) • James Ferries (NASA Origin of Life) • Lynda Williams (ASU) • John Holloway (ASU)

  3. The Challenge (1)- Buruli • Mycobacterium/toxin neutralization • Débridement • Healing (Hyper-Granulation) • Controls general infection • Skin growth • No keloids • No retractions • Stem cells stimulation (?)

  4. The Challenge (2)– NOT Buruli • Débridement (leg ulcers, bed sores, other) • Healing (granulation) • Skin growth • No keloids • No retractions • Raymond Dextreit (world reference)

  5. The Challenge (3) - Investment • ROI = 0 (pharmaceutical labs perspective)

  6. Promising Huge Payoff • Tuberculosis (mycobacterium tuberculosis) • Leprosy (mycobacterium leprae) • AIDS

  7. Clay Actions – The Clues

  8. The Origin of Life from Clay • Graham Cairns-Smith • James Ferries • John Holloway

  9. Mycolactone / Toxin • Reaction with clay

  12. The toxins have gone inside the clay and sit in between the layers. The contaminants are incorporated into the clay structure Through ionic exchange, the harmful poisons are drawn to the outside surface of the clay. Contaminant particules are attracted to the outer surface of the clay crystal Absorption Adsorption + + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + + + + + + + +

Use for thousand of years in all continents Remove metals Radiochemicals contamination entrapment NanoClay Clay Mineral Society promoting research IBM Clay-protein research project People living next to montmorillonite deposit life 120~140 years Domestic water filters Caffeine adsorbent liquid filter Water Based Paint additives ultra-pure smectite clays for GM (enhanced physical properties nanocomposites) Laponite ™ synthetic clay mineral Barasym ™ synthetic clay mineral Nanoplastics = polymeric nanocomposites Origin of Life Detection of life on Mars Fireproofing Crop mineral fertilizing Extraordinary observation during Buruli treatment Berkeley Earth Sciences Lab -- Molecular Simulations of Hydrated Montmorillonite Interlayers Because of their ubiquitous presence in natural materials and their strong surface reactions with cations and organic molecules, clay minerals figure importantly in a broad range of phenomena, from global climate change to contaminant management. Research is designed to provide molecular-scale information about the mechanisms of these surface reactions, based on state-of-the-art computer simulation using tested codes and realistic models of clay mineral interactions with liquid water and a variety of dissolved chemicals Just cheap dirt … Medical Science – NO interest! Not so fast…. Spray dried smectite 11,495 US Patents “montmorillonite” 1,239 US Patents “illite” 8,470 US Patents “clay minerals” 522 Canadian Patents “montmorillonite”

  19. Guadeloupe vertsols have natural suppressiveness to bacterial wilt, mainly of physicochemical origin. Pictures shows cells (black arrow) of R. solanacearum observedin the porosity of native montmorillonite extracted from a Guadeloupe vertisol.  General view of bacterial cells (B)  embedded in the tactoidal clay matrix [A], which is deformable and able to wrap around cells or to come in contacts at several points as seen in the detailed TEM where individuals cristallites of montmorillonite associate to form tactoids (T) delimiting pores (P)  where  bacteria are entrapped and not available for the infectious process .
