Updated Contact Information for Stopping the EPA from Regulating Colloidal Silver

Updated Contact Information for Stopping the EPA from Regulating Colloidal Silver

We’ve just heard from our good friend Ralph Fucetola, JD, also known as the Vitamin Lawyer, that EPA has put up a brand new page for public comments regarding the petition to regulate silver nanoparticles as “pesticides.” They have also assigned a brand new docket number to the petition.

The new public comments web page is located at this link:

http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=SubmitComment&o=090000648081edc9

The new docket number, which you must refer to in all correspondence with the EPA, is:

EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650-0506

What to Do Now…

There are now five simple but absolutely vital steps you need to take to help win the battle to stop the EPA from regulating silver nanoparticles as “pesticides,” which would result in the removal of just about every brand of colloidal silver on the market today, and give a handful of big corporate interests the monopoly on the use of silver particles.

Step #1: Go to the brand new EPA public comments page at the link above (or click here) and register your comments. Explain why you do not want the EPA to regulate silver nanoparticles as “pesticides.” If you need verbiage for your comments, the blog post directly below this one has a sample letter you can pull from. They are in blue italic type, so you can find them quickly.

Step #2: Email your comments opposing the petition to regulate silver particles as “pesticides” to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson. His email address is: johnson.stephen@epa.gov

Step #3: Fax your comments to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, at his Washington DC fax number: (202)-501-1450.

Step #4: Send a personal letter to the Washington DC office of EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson. His address is as follows:

Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket (7502P)
ATTN: Administrator Stephen Johnson
Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20460-0001

Important Note: All comments to the EPA – whether you make them by email, fax, snail mail or through the public comments section of their web site -- must reference the “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides,” and must also reference the new Docket #: EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650-0506

Step #5: Finally, go to the Health Freedom blog of the Ralph Fucetola, The Vitamin Lawyer, at http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2009/01/defending-nano-silver.html
and read his brief but highly pertinent comments about the battle to save colloidal silver from EPA regulation.

Then, go to the special web page link set up by the Natural Solutions Foundation, read their brief, four-paragraph comment asking the EPA to reject the petition to regulate silver nanoparticles as “pesticides,” and e-sign their comment. They will forward your e-signed comment to the EPA en masse with hundreds of others.

Why All 5 Steps?

I know this is a lot of work. And I know your time is extremely valuable. So is mine. I would much rather be writing about how to save lives with colloidal silver, rather than battling whacko environmental organizations and fending off bureaucratic groups who want to regulate colloidal silver into oblivion.

But as I mentioned in the longer blog post on this subject directly below, health freedom battles are never easily won. Our opponents are some of the biggest special interest groups and corporate interests in the world. And they have literally millions of members they can call on to support their position.

Nevertheless, right now we are actually winning this battle, thanks to the many hundreds if not thousands of individuals and organizations who answered the call when we first exposed the petition to regulate silver nanoparticles in early January. Once we demonstrated through the words of the petition sponsors that they are actually out to force EPA to regulate colloidal silver into oblivion, people who love their health freedom went into action.

But once we began winning the battle, the EPA suddenly agreed to extend the comments period deadline, giving the whacko environmental organizations like Friends of the Earth and special interest groups like ICTA an extra two months to garner comments in favor of their petition!

In other words, EPA saw the tide of battle turning against the petition to regulate silver particles as “pesticides,” and gave the petition sponsors a new lease on life. Why? Because EPA desperately wants to be able to regulate silver particles as “pesticides” under their antiquated FIFRA regulations, which allow them to ban any substance they deem to be “harmful to the environment.”

Therefore, we absolutely must keep up the pressure on the EPA.

Between now and March 20, 2009 (the new deadline for registering public comments on this issue) the rabid environmental organizations and special interest groups are going to flood the EPA with a host of new comments in favor of the petition, garnered from their millions of collective members. We must outgun them tit-for-tat – and then moreso -- with our own comments asking EPA to reject the petition.

During WWII, when General George S. Patton’s troops were outnumbered ten to one, Patton boldly told his troops, “This is not a problem. Each of you must simply kill ten of the enemy.” And they did!

Similarly, I must tell you in all earnestness, though we are vastly outnumbered by those who want to see silver particles regulated as “pesticides” (and who ultimately want to see colloidal silver banned) this is not a problem. All we have to do is take each of the five simple steps enumerated above, and thereby neutralize all of our opponent’s comments in favor of the petition.

For every one of their comments in favor of the petition, we must send in five of our own against the petition, and from all different directions, i.e., email, fax, snail mail, the online public comments system, and the special comments system set up by the Vitamin Lawyer at the Natural Solutions Foundation web site.

At the very least, start posting your comments to the new EPA public comments page for the petition.

This is how health freedom battles are won. Let’s double our efforts, and get this job done, so we can get back to the noble work of showing people how heal themselves the safe, natural way.

Regards,
S. Spencer Jones for http://www.lifeandhealthresearchgroup.com/

P.S. Don’t doubt for a minute that they are out to regulate colloidal silver into oblivion. Even the addendum to the petition to have EPA regulate silver particles as “pesticides” names the top four brands of colloidal silver products on the market today as being products that need immediate EPA regulation as “pesticides.” It also names many other lesser-known brands of colloidal silver as being in need of regulation. And it proclaims that the list of 200+ products in the petition addendum constitute “only the tip of the iceberg” of what they are out to regulate.

P.P.S. Learn how to make your own safe, natural, high-quality colloidal silver with a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from http://www.thesilveredge.com/. That way, you’ll never be subject to a bureaucratic ban on colloidal silver products. You’ll always be able to make your own fresh, pure, high-quality colloidal silver quickly and easily, in the comfort, security and privacy of your own home, and for only about 36 cents a quart.

Special Update on the Battle to Save Colloidal Silver From Regulation By the EPA

Special Update on the Battle to Save Colloidal Silver From Regulation By the EPA

I have some good news and some bad news regarding the petition by extremist environmentalists and other special interest groups to have silver nanoparticles (read: colloidal silver) regulated by the EPA as a "pesticide," which would ultimately result in a ban on the sale of colloidal silver products.

First the good news:

I’ve just been to the EPA web site and discovered that whereas public comments about the petition had been running ten to one in favor of it during the month of December when only the extremist environmental groups who sponsored it knew about it, the comments have been running a hundred to one against it ever since the colloidal silver and natural health communities have caught wind of this insidious plot.

That’s phenomenal. Obviously, the colloidal silver community and the natural health community have pulled together as one, standing in unison against this onerous and heavy-handed petition to regulate “silver nanoparticles.”

We are grateful to have been able to play a key role in alerting the colloidal silver and natural health communities to this stealth campaign to have the EPA regulate, and eventually ban, colloidal silver.

The outpouring of opposition to the petition has allowed the colloidal silver and natural health communities to overcome the advantage held by the extremist environmental groups like ICTA and Friends of the Earth who had been quietly stacking the EPA online comments system with “canned” comments from their members in favor of their own petition. They solicited these comments through slick email campaigns designed to scare their members into believing that “silver nanoparticles” pose an imminent and dire threat to the environment and need to be immediately regulated as "pesticides."

If you helped in this campaign by posting your comments against the ICTA petition to have the EPA regulate silver particles as "pesticides" through the EPA online comment system, or by sending emails or faxes to the EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson as we requested (see below), then please take a moment and give yourself a nice, big pat on the back. You are helping turn the tide in favor of colloidal silver by taking such an active part in this battle to stop the impending EPA regulation of so-called “silver nanoparticles.”

Now, here's the bad news:

Back in December, several of the extremist environmental organizations sponsoring this petition -- including ICTA and Friends of the Earth -- had formally requested the EPA to extend the comments deadline, so they could buy more time to muster up additional aid and support from the membership rosters of other like-minded environmental groups.

But as of early January, the EPA had basically ignored this request. After all, there was simply no reason to extend the comments deadline when the comments were already running ten to one in favor of the petition. It looked like a slam-dunk sure-thing that the EPA would easily be able to approve the petition, and begin regulating silver nanoparticles out of existence for all but the largest of corporate financial interests who could afford the millions of dollars worth of environmental impact reports required by EPA in order to sell products containing silver nanoparticles.

Then, thanks largely to our efforts to alert the colloidal silver community and the natural health community to this plot, the tide of public sentiment turned dramatically against the petition. Suddenly public comments on the EPA web site were running over 100 to one against the petition. And the EPA saw their slam-dunk sure-thing disappearing right before their eyes. After all, without broad public support, it would be very difficult for the EPA to approve the petition giving the agency the broad new powers to regulate silver particles.

So within a matter of just a few short days after hundreds of new comments starting pouring in against the petition, the EPA rapidly switched gears and approved the earlier request by ICTA and Friends of the Earth to extend the comments deadline.

Why?

It is obvious that the EPA had witnessed how the colloidal silver and natural health communities have pulled together in a massive show of opposition to the petition to have silver nanoparticles regulated as a "pesticide."

EPA knew that with public comments suddenly running more than 100 to one against the petition, they were going to have to give their environmentalist cronies more time to reach multitudes of like-minded environmentalists worldwide, so they could come to the EPA web site to comment in favor of the petition. After all, what the EPA wants is to become the sole arbitrator of who gets to sell products containing silver particles, and who doesn’t.

Unfortunately, if the rabid environmentalists are allowed to regain the upper hand by soliciting tons of additional comments in favor of the petition from their fellow environmental groups worldwide, it will be a disaster for anyone who wants widespread availability of colloidal silver to continue.

Why Freedom of Consumer Choice Will Be a Distant Memory

Indeed, freedom of consumer choice will be all but a distant memory in regards to colloidal silver products. After all, once EPA begins regulating silver nanoparticles as a "pesticide," their next step will be to require colloidal silver manufacturers to prove that their product cannot harm “ecologically sensitive microbes” in the environment, as documented on this web page.

There are probably only a small handful of colloidal silver manufacturer on the face of the earth – if any – who can afford the millions of dollars in testing and environmental impact reports the EPA will require. So without a doubt, your favorite brand of colloidal silver will probably be gone forever if the EPA approves this petition and begins regulating silver nanoparticles as “pesticides.”

Here’s the key to understanding this whole scheme: If this petition is granted by the EPA, only the wealthiest corporate interests that are willing to kow-tow to EPA regulatory demands and spend millions of dollars on “environmental impact” reports will be able to sell products that contain silver nanoparticles.

Do you think these big corporate interests will sell colloidal silver? Not on your life. Once safe, natural and relatively inexpensive colloidal silver is taken off the market by the EPA, the big corporate interests will patent products containing engineered silver nanoparticles, and you will only be able to get therapeutic silver products by doctor’s prescription.

Exactly What The EPA Wants

This is exactly what the EPA wants, i.e., to transfer control of the sale of silver nanoparticles from the hundreds of colloidal silver vendors in existence today, to a small handful of big corporate interests.

And, of course, the EPA will become the sole arbitrator over who can sell products containing silver nanoparticles and who can't. Public access to safe, natural colloidal silver will be a thing of the past. It's that simple. That's their game-plan.

So What’s Happening Right Now?

Right now the extremist environmental and special interest groups like ICTA and Friends of the Earth are gearing up to have their like-minded environmental groups begin pouring their support behind the petition to have EPA regulate silver as an environmentally “dangerous pesticide.” They are claiming that if silver isn't immediately regulated by EPA as a "pesticide" the ecology and the environment as a whole will face irreparable and permanent damage.

That is of course a total crock. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that silver nanoparticles can’t harm the ecology when returned to the environment. Why? Because the tiny silver particles rapidly bond with other natural elements in the environment, such as minerals, mineral salts and other substances. This bonding, also known as “agglomeration,” destroys the nano-scale properties of the tiny silver particles and renders them essentially inert.

In other words, the silver simply returns to the environment it originally came from as another harmless mineral substance. The idea that it can somehow "harm the environment" or poses an “imminent threat to the environment” is ludicrous at face value. It is the worst kind of junk science imaginable. But like most junk science, it serves Big Corporate interests very well.

Nasty Tactics?

Worse yet, the EPA has apparently resorted to using some nasty tactics in order to stop the tide of public comments coming in against the petition to regulate silver as a “pesticide.”

While theEPA has indeed extended the public comments deadline on the petition to March 20 at the behest of the environmental groups behind it, they have simultaneously disabled the direct link to allow comments on the EPA web site – a link which we had discovered and were instrumental in having posted on numerous colloidal silver and natural health web sites during the first week of January after we began alerting the colloidal silver community and the natural health community to this insidious plot to regulate silver nanoparticles as a “pesticide.”

By disabling the direct link to the EPA comments section for this petition, hundreds if not thousands of new public comments from the colloidal silver community and natural health community have effectively been prevented from being posted.

Meanwhile, the rabid environmental groups are busy collecting additional public comments in favor of the petition. They are using a slick email and web site-based campaign that allows them to collect and hold onto the comments for later dispersal.

Our best guess is that once the public comments link on the EPA web site is restored, probably sometime just before the new deadline of March 20, these nutcase environmentalists intend to bombard the EPA comments system with a massive new barrage of comments they've collected in favor of the petition to regulate silver particles as “pesticides.”

Their goal is to turn the tide of comments back in favor of the petition. And then the EPA can legitimately say that they have fairly and carefully weighed public opinion, and have decided to regulate silver nanoparticles as “pesticides.” That will be the beginning of the end for the public commercial sale of colloidal silver.

What We’re Doing and What YOU Can Do to Help Right Now…

First, we are demanding that the EPA restore access to the public link that allows everyone to post comments on the EPA web site RIGHT NOW, rather than waiting until the rabid environmental groups gather enough new comments to stack the deck in favor of the petition once again, just as they did in the beginning.

Second, we are requesting that everyone in the colloidal silver and natural health communities continue to put massive pressure on the EPA through every means possible with polite and respectful comments letting them know that you are not happy about the petition to regulate silver particles as “pesticides,” and would like them to reject it.

How to Call The EPA to Help Get the Public Comments Link Restored

If you would like to help us in demanding that the public link be restored for comments on the EPA web site, you can call the toll-free EPA “Help Line” at 1-877-378-5457, and politely and respectfully request that they restore the comments link for Docket #EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650, also known as the “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides.”

Special request: Please, as soon as anyone reading this article finds out that a public link to the EPA comments system for this petition has been restored, or that a brand new link has been instituted, let us know by emailing us the specific link at info@TheSilverEdge.com. That way, we can get the word out to the rest of the colloidal silver community and natural health community that a new public comments link is available.

Also, if you call the EPA “Help Line” number above and find out that the comments link has already been restored, or that a new link has been put up, be sure to thank them. Then start posting comments on the EPA web site right away, as well as following through with the three crucial steps outlined below. It is absolutely essential that we act decisively and yes, even relentlessly at this point. We must make sure the EPA knows that the public is against this petition to regulate silver particles as “pesticides.”

How to Help Us Continue Putting Pressure on the EPA to Reject the Petition

In the meantime, while we are continuing to put pressure on the EPA to restore the public comments link on their web site for the petition, you can help us put additional pressure on the EPA to reject the petition by taking the following three simple but vital steps:

First, email EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson with your comments against the petition to have silver regulated as a “pesticide.” His email address is: johnson.stephen@epa.gov

If you have already emailed him in the recent past, please do so again. And tell all of your like-minded friends to do so, too. This is critical.

Secondly, fax your comments to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson, at his Washington DC fax number: (202)-501-1450. Again, if you have already faxed him, do so again. And again. And again. We need a flood of emails and faxes going to this man, telling him politely but in no uncertain terms that he needs to reject the petition to regulate silver particles as “pesticides.”

Third, send a letter to the Washington DC office of EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson. His address is as follows:

Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket (7502P)
ATTN: Administrator Stephen Johnson
Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20460-0001

Don’t Forget To Include the Following Vital Information:

All comments to the EPA – whether you make them by email, fax, snail mail or through the public comments section of their web site once it is restored -- must reference the “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides,” and must also reference Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650.

What to Do If You Don’t Know What to Say…

If you don’t know what to say in your comments, here’s some suggested text:

Dear EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson:

I am writing in reference to Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650, also known as the “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides”

I respectfully request that you reject this petition, for the following three reasons:

One: There is no documented evidence of any harm having ever been caused to the environment from silver nanoparticles

Two: Several valid studies by reputable science-based organizations have already documented that no harm to the environment from silver nanoparticles can occur at present or projected future levels (1,2)

Three: ICTA’s entire case for the petition is based upon nothing more than raw and sensationalistic speculation extrapolated from a few spotty laboratory studies whose data was apparently skewed to produce the results they wanted.

Since only lab studies have been used to justify ICTA’s flimsy position that silver nanoparticles are harming the environment, and since no true environmental studies have demonstrated such alleged harm, there is simply no reason to allow ICTA and their cohorts to continue this charade against products containing silver nanoparticles.

As the recent study by Dr. George Maass has demonstrated (3), silver nanoparticles simply cannot harm the ecology when returned to the environment because the tiny particles rapidly bond with other elements in the environment. This in turn destroys their nano-scale properties, rendering them inert. In short, silver nanoparticles simply return to the environment as another harmless mineral substance.

Since EPA is supposed to be an evidence-based agency and there is no evidence whatsoever to demonstrate the erroneous and shrill claims of ICTA and its counterparts against products containing nanosilver, please reject and dismiss this petition and stop wasting taxpayer monies on this issue.

EPA already has sufficient authority under FIFRA to regulate substances demonstrated to cause harm to the environment. This additional proposed regulation is superfluous and unnecessary, and a complete waste of taxpayer funds.

Saying It In Your Own Words Is Always Best

Of course, comments in your own words are always better than “canned” comments like the one above. So please express yourself in your own words if time permits and you have the unction to do so. Otherwise, be sure to send the above comment, with your own signature. Or feel free to derive your own comments from the above letter.

By the way, if you own a company or belong to a natural health-related organization, please be sure to make your comments in your own name as well as in the name of your company or organization. Adding your company or organization name to your comments gives credibility to your response. And that will help offset some of the comments from the "heavy hitter" organizations the environmentalist groups are currently lining up in support of this disastrous petition to have silver nanoparticles regulated as “pesticides.”

It’s Up to You…

The ball is in your court. Whether or not colloidal silver will be regulated into oblivion at the behest of rabid environmentalists who want the world to believe that silver particles represent some kind of imminent threat to the environment is in your hands.

Please do your part and help us flood the EPA over the next few weeks -- in fact, all of the way up to March 20 -- with an even greater barrage of comments against this petition than we managed to generate during the first few weeks of January before the EPA so suddenly and unexpectedly extended the comments deadline at the behest of their environmentalist cronies.

If we fail to continue to act at this point, it will give EPA and the environmental groups exactly what they have want, i.e., enough time to stack the public comments with additional requests to have the EPA regulate silver particles as “pesticides.”

We must continue to act quickly and decisively. This is how health freedom battles are won.

I won’t kid you. It’s not going to be an easy battle, because the organizations we are up against are large and well-organized, and have huge membership bases. And the EPA already favors them, and has purposely given them more time to solicit comments favorable to their own petition to have the EPA regulate silver particles as "pesticides.

But we have already shown that we can shake them to the core with a barrage of our own public comments. And just as little David slew Goliath with a single smooth stone, we too can take down the environmentalist “Goliaths’ with our individual comments against the petition to regulate silver as a “pesticide.”

We simply must continue to act in unison and with deliberation and determination, straight through to the new deadline of March 20th. To help, just follow the simple steps outlined above.

Finally, be sure to pass this information along to your like-minded friends and colleagues, so they can help, too.

Colloidal Silver Cures the Deadly MRSA Superpathogen (So Why Are the Bureaucrats Trying to Destroy Your Right to Use It?)

Colloidal Silver Cures the Deadly MRSA Superpathogen

(So Why Are the Bureaucrats Trying to Destroy Your Right to Use It?)

CNN has finally reported on the MRSA superbug epidemic (see CNN news video at this youtube.com link).

They’ve revealed to viewers that a new study published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association says there are now more than 94,000 potentially deadly MRSA infections per year in the U.S., and that MRSA now kills more people every year in the U.S. than AIDS.

What they have not told their viewers is that the safe, all-natural cure for MRSA has been known for over 20 years. Of course, it is colloidal silver.

The (All-Natural) Cure for MRSA : Known for 20 Years

Of course, the cure for MRSA has been known for over 20 years. It was discovered by Dr. Robert O. Becker, MD during his groundbreaking research on electrically generated silver ions at Syracuse Medical University back in the mid-1980’s. But because the cure – tiny particles of mineral silver known as colloidal silver -- is completely natural, the FDA has quashed any mention of the findings.

In fact, the FDA has even gone so far as to pass a ruling in 1999 stating that colloidal silver is “ineffective” for infection-fighting purposes, and is “misbranded” if its infection-fighting powers are mentioned on labels or in advertising. This, even though colloidal silver has a bona-fide 90-year history of medical studies going all of the way back to the 1920’s demonstrating its startling effectiveness against infectious illness and disease.

New Medical Studies Prove Colloidal Silver Works

Thankfully, four brand new studies from medical universities in different parts of the world have demonstrated that colloidal silver is the flat-out, no-holds-barred cure for MRSA.

You can read about these little-known studies here, along with fascinating information on how colloidal silver is already being used in European hospitals to prevent surgery patients from contracting MRSA infections while hospitalized.

You’ll discover that European hospitals are light years ahead of the game when it comes to preventing and treating MRSA infections. For example, they give hospital patients special gowns made out of a newly invented cloth material that has tiny particles of silver woven into it. And they even have a machine that sprays a fine micro-mist of colloidal silver throughout hospitals, thereby killing colonies of MRSA before they can infect humans.

Protecting the Turf of Big Pharma

Why won’t the FDA and the AMA let the American public know about this astonishing cure for MRSA, even as 90,000 Americans a year are becoming infected with this potentially lethal flesh-eating pathogen?

The answer is simple: They are protecting the turf of Big Pharma.

You see, the pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar a year industry that is completely dependent upon the vast majority of people being brainwashed into the idea that only prescription drugs can help them cure their illnesses. And the FDA and AMA are the enforcement arms of Big Pharma.

So the FDA makes war against natural cures, while the AMA makes war against natural health care practitioners. Between the two of them, they make sure the multitudes remain fixated on the orthodox medical community as their sole source of help for their health and medical problems.

What’s truly sad – nay, pathetic -- is that these organizations would rather allow people to die in agony from a disease that orthodox medicine can’t cure – such as MRSA -- than to let the public know there is a safe, natural cure available.

MRSA now infects over 94,000 Americans each year and kills nearly 20,000 of them, surpassing even deaths from AIDS! You would think the medical bureaucrats would be shouting from the rooftops, telling the public about colloidal silver’s astonishing ability to decimate the MRSA pathogen.

But no. Instead, their blind loyalty to big pharma overrides every human (and humane) consideration, and they work to relegate colloidal silver into the ashcan of history, instead.

Enter the EPA…

To make matters worse, the Environmental Protection Agency has now entered the fray, claiming the right to regulate silver products – including colloidal silver -- as “pesticides.”

They claim that if colloidal silver gets into the nation’s waterways and eco-system, it could wipe out “ecologically sensitive” microorganism the environment depends on. Therefore, they say, colloidal silver manufacturers need to register their products with the EPA, which requires lab testing and environmental impact reports costing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

In essence, EPA is angling to put colloidal silver distributors out of business for good by making it too expensive to legally make and sell colloidal silver.

Of course, in spite of EPA rhetoric to the contrary, silver has been abundant in nature for millions of years. And it has never been shown to harm the environment. Even when silver that has been taken from the environment and sliced into tiny particles through the process of electrolysis in order to make colloidal silver, and then returned to the environment through sewage systems or other means, it has never been demonstrated to cause any harm.

That’s because, when returned to the environment, the tiny, electrically charged micro-particles of silver found in colloidal silver tend to very rapidly bond with other substances in the environment, such as minerals, salts and other natural substances (this process is called “agglomeration”). This bonding process in effect neutralizes silver’s toxicity to microbes, and essentially returns the silver to its natural state.

EPA ignores this simple, high school science, and claims the right to “protect the environment” from imminent doom by regulating silver under its archaic FIFRA pesticide regulations. (For more on this issue, see the blog posts at this link, and this link, and this link.)

If you’d like to help in the battle to save colloidal silver from EPA regulation, you can let the EPA know what you think about their plan to regulate silver products – including colloidal silver – at this link.

Attacked from Many Angles

As you can see, colloidal silver is under attack from many different angles today.

The news media won’t even mention it, except derogatorily from time to time. The FDA passes regulations claiming it is “ineffective,” and threatens huge fines against anyone who touts its well-known antibiotic qualities. The AMA persecutes natural health care practitioners who use it. And now the EPA now claims it is so effective against microorganisms, they need to regulate it as a “pesticide” to prevent it from harming “ecologically sensitive” microbes in the environment.

Amazing, isn’t it?

One has to wonder why this is happening, considering colloidal silver phenomenal, proven ability to decimate many of the most infectious superbugs such as MRSA that now plague our nation and the world at large.

But you don’t have to look much further than big pharma and the drug industry if you truly want to understand why this safe, simple and often miraculously healing substance is under such vicious attack.

Considering the fact that the bureaucratic attacks against colloidal silver are growing stronger by the day, and that colloidal silver may therefore soon not be available commercially, owning the means of colloidal silver production is probably the smartest thing you can do right now. That way, if the bureaucrats succeed in taking colloidal silver off the market, you can always make your own, quickly, easily and inexpensively. It’s extremely easy to do, as this short, three minute video demonstrates.

Take Back Your Power!

Dr. Bob Beck, Ph.D, was one of the world’s most ardent advocates of colloidal silver usage. Before he died from heart failure at the age of 77 in 2002, he tirelessly lectured around the country on colloidal silver and other natural healing modalities, urging audiences to “Take back your power!” from the perverse medical Gestapo that has become so deeply entrenched within the orthodox medical community over the past twenty years.

Today, it is more important than ever to learn how to “Take back your power!” After all, the orthodox medical establishment has finally lost control of serious infectious illness and disease. Indeed, studies show you are now more likely to contract a deadly infection inside of a hospital while surrounded by doctors than outside of one. Yet the orthodox medical community continues to insist they are the only ones capable of taking care of your health and medical problems. And they have the entrenched bureaucracies of the FDA and AMA at their beck and call to enforce their will upon you.

But the fact that more than 90,000 Americans each year are now being infected by the deadly MRSA superpathogen -- and that there is that there is a safe, natural way to put an end to this deadly epidemic and the medical bureaucrats won’t even tell you about it -- should be a clarion call to any thinking individual. It is clearly time to start taking matters into your own hands, for your own protection.

You can start by visiting some of the web sites above, and educating yourself. Learn how to protect yourself and your family. Learn how to start “Taking back your power!”

Act NOW to Help Save Colloidal Silver From EPA Regulation!

ACT NOW TO HELP SAVE COLLOIDAL SILVER FROM EPA REGULATION!

As of today, there are only 11 days left to voice your opposition to the proposal for the EPA to regulate nanosilver products -- including colloidal silver -- as "pesticides."

As it stands, the main petition sponsor, the International Center For Technology Assessment (CTA) has drawn up a list of nanosilver products it claims needs to be regulated by EPA. Among that list are the four top brands of colloidal silver (Sovereign Silver, Meso Silver, ASAP Silver, Utopia Silver) as well as many lesser known brands.

This is clearly a ploy to regulate colloidal silver as a "pesticide" under the EPA's revised FIFRA regulations, which require you to prove your silver product causes no harm to beneficial microorganisms or other creatures in the environment.

Putting Colloidal Silver Manufacturers Out of Business

If the EPA begins to regulate colloidal silver as a "pesticide" under its revised FIFRA regulations, this will, in effect, unjustly put every colloidal silver manufacturer out of business.

The costs of proving that a colloidal silver product causes no harm to “ecologically sensitive” microorganisms in the environment would be prohibitive (environmental impact reports can cost millions of dollars), and the regulatory burden on colloidal silver manufacturers would be unsustainable.

EPA is taking public comments until January 20th, after which they will make their decision.

How to Stop Them From Regulating Silver As a "Pesticide"

We need hundreds or even thousands of people to let the EPA know that colloidal silver should not be included under these new regulations.

If you have a natural health advocacy organization or a health freedom organization, or an email customer list of colloidal silver users, or an email list of natural health users, please, please let your membership base know about this dire situation, and the short time we have left to stop it.

Direct your members or email recipients to post their comments against regulating silver as a “pesticide” on the EPA comment system (see web address and further instructions below).

Or have them email the EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson directly (see below) and let him know that there is no compelling need to regulate nanosilver products such as colloidal silver as “pesticides,” since there is no evidence whatsoever of any environmental harm having taken place.

How to Contact the EPA

Anyone who wants to post to the EPA comments system can do so at this web address:

http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=SubmitComment&o=09000064807cd9b1

Anyone wishing to email EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson with their comments against the petition to have silver regulated as a “pesticide” can do so here:

johnson.stephen@epa.gov

Additionally, faxes can be sent to EPA, addressed to Administrator Stephen Johnson, at:

Fax: 202-501-1450

All comments must reference Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650.

Also, comments should reference the “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides.”

Don't Fall for the False Claims

As a last minute dodge to mislead the public, some organizations backing the petition to have EPA regulate nanosilver products as “pesticides” are claiming that the petition has nothing to do with colloidal silver. That is definitely wrong.

I repeat what I stated earlier: The main sponsor of the petition to have EPA regulate silver as a "pesticide" is the International Center For Technology Assessment (CTA), and they have attached a list of nanosilver products to the petition requesting the EPA begin regulatory oversight of these products immediately under the revised FIFRA regulations.

Among the products listed on this attachment to the petition were the top four brands of bottled colloidal silver products on the market today (Sovereign Silver, Meso Silver, ASAP Silver, Utopia Silver) along with numerous less well-known colloidal silver brands.

I wrote CTA and asked why the top four brands of bottled colloidal silver were on this petition, and their lawyer, Mr. George A. Kimbrell, responded. Here is his response:

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your interest in our legal petition to EPA. I’m one of the attorneys who drafted the action and your question was forwarded to me.

To clarify and answer your question: the only consumer products that were included in our product appendix attached to our legal petition were those products that in our research we found were actively marketing their products, through labeling or advertising, as “nano” (i.e., containing manufactured or engineered nanoparticles) and that made health claims based on that “nano” ingredient.

So if there are silver colloidal solution products in the appendix, they must be marketed (or were, as of May 2008, when we filed the petition) as nano-silver and we have documented evidence of such marketing claims.

The appendix was illustrative not comprehensive. We only highlighted these products for the agency to investigate; we did not test the products ourselves. The product appendix included only those self-identified nano-silver products we could find.

No doubt there are more nano-silver products available that are unlabeled and we are calling on the agency to investigate and apply its statutorily entrusted oversight to those products as well.

If said products in the appendix are not “nano,” then they need to remove the misleading and illegal claims on their advertising and marketing. If the products are composed of nano-silver, then yes, they are different than other larger particles of silver and need to be regulated separately.

As we explain in the petition, engineered and manufactured nanomaterials like nano-silver are new types of materials that required new forms of toxicity testing and data to properly assess their novel properties and associated potential risks. In our petition we are requesting that EPA properly analyze the health and environmental safety of these materials before permitting them to go to market.

Sincerely,

George A. Kimbrell gkimbrell@icta.org
Staff Attorney,
The Int'l Center For Technology Assessment & The Center For Food Safety
660 Pennsylvania Ave., S.E. Suite 302
Washington, D.C. 20003
202-547-9359 fax 202-547-9429

Please note that he did not in any way, shape or form deny that his organization includes colloidal silver as a "nanosilver" product. He was very clear that as long as a colloidal silver product meets the standards for nano-silver, then he intends to have EPA regulate it.

Note also his comments, “No doubt there are more nano-silver products available that are unlabeled and we are calling on the agency to investigate and apply its statutorily entrusted oversight to those products as well."

In other words, they are petitioning EPA to go after any colloidal silver product that fits their overly-broad definition of "nanosilver."

The Clincher

Now here's the clincher: In other literature, CTA and its supporting coalition of organizations claim “nanosilver” is defined as silver particles of “100 nm in size or smaller.”

This effectively brings just about every brand of colloidal silver on the face of the earth under the “nanosilver” umbrella.

Is EPA Regulation of Colloidal Silver It a Foregone Conclusion?

I think the EPA has already decided in advance that they are going to take on this "regulatory oversight," which means they are ultimately going to stop production and sales of anything containing silver "nano particles" (under their definition of 100 nm or less) until it can be proven these particles won't cause harm to "ecologically sensitive" microorganisms and other creatures in the environment, which is basically impossible.

The only way to stop it is by a massive outpouring of opposition from the American public. The EPA does strongly take into account public comments in their decision-making process. We must turn up the heat and let the EPA know we are not happy with this ruse to destroy the colloidal silver market by regulating nanosilver as a “pesticide.”

The Anti-Silver Propaganda Machine

This ridiculous petition to the EPA was preceded by months of propaganda against "nanosilver" in the online "science news" media, such as at ScienceNews.org and ScienceDirect.com, both of which carried numerous stories about the alleged "dangers" of allowing "nanosilver" to get into the environment.

These “the-sky-is-falling” science news stories were then re-translated for the popular media, resulting in articles like "Nanotechnology sparks fears for the future" and "Scientists Think Small to Find 'Nano' Dangers," and the worst of all of the chicken little articles "Nanosilver fad poses 'serious risk to health'" – and dozens like this, all of these appearing in various popular online news media.

These guys are pretty smart in how they go about building justification for their position over a period of many months before unleashing their campaigns for "regulatory oversight." I'm afraid they have us out-maneuvered. We really need to swamp the EPA comments system on this petition to regulate “nanosilver” as a “pesticide” with rational, well-constructed comments against the idea.

Right now, the environmental groups and fake "consumer protection" groups have been stacking the EPA comments system with comments favorable to the idea of further EPA regulatory oversight of "nanosilver." They've done this by emailing their membership bases, and asking them to send in anti-silver comments to the EPA.

Get On the Ball and We Can Win!

The various natural health organizations and the health freedom community at large has been woefully behind on countering this massive anti-silver propaganda campaign.

That’s why we need you to get involved in this right away.

If you belong to a natural health advocacy group or health freedom organization, please contact the membership base and let them know what's going on. Give them the EPA contact information above. Urge them to email, fax, or post comments on the EPA web site, urging the EPA to reject the petition to regulate nanosilver products.

If you are in the natural health business and you have an email customer base, email your customers and explain the situation to them, as well as the dire need to act quickly. Give them the contact information above.

If you are simply a natural products user, go to the EPA web site above and post your comments in opposition to the petition to regulate nanosilver products as "pesticides." And pass this information along to all of your like-minded friends right away.

Anything you can do to help get the ball rolling in this direction will be a huge benefit. Unfortunately we have so little time. But that is the hand we’ve been dealt.

Emergency Alert: Stop EPA From Further Regulating Colloidal Silver as a "Pesticide"

Emergency Alert: Stop EPA From Further Regulating Colloidal Silver as a "Pesticide"

We have only until January 20th to submit comments to the EPA against the proposal by radical environmental groups that want the EPA to immediately begin regulating nanosilver (read: colloidal silver) as a "pesticide" -- an action that would completely take colloidal silver off the market at some point in time.

Apparently, radical environmental groups and fake "consumer advocate" groups have joined hands to accellerate the ongoing campaign to have the EPA regulate all commercial forms of nanosilver, including colloidal silver, as a "new pesticide."

We received today an email from our good friend George Foss, a top nutritional supplement formulator and natural health watchdog, explaining that the Center for Food Safety (an elitist, pro-regulatory group masquerading as a "consumer advocacy" group) is now urging their readers to send comments to the EPA supporting the "Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides.”

This petition -- if accepted and acted upon by the EPA -- would essentially allow the EPA to regulate colloidal silver into oblivion, on the grounds that it could potentially cause harm to the environment. (See more on this issue below.)

Public Comments Soon to Be Closed

We also learned that public comments on this petition have been open for some time. But apparently only the rabid environmental groups and fake "consumer advocate" groups supporting the proposal have been told about the comment period, which ends January 20th. These pro-regulatory groups have been sending emails to their thousands of readers, urging them to go to a special web page they have set up where an automated system exists for submitting comments to the EPA en masse.

Unfortunately, this comment submission system only allows for comments from people who favor futher strict regulation of nanosilver by the EPA. Even if you use the system to send a comment against the proposal to regulate nanosilver as a "new pesticide," the system overrides your comment by superceding it with a "canned" favorable comment.

This means virtually all of the comments going to the EPA have been in favor of further regulation of nanosilver products.

Since EPA depends heavily upon public comments when deciding upon new regulatory action, it is vitally important that they get to hear the views of those who do not want to see nanosilver further regulated by the EPA as a "new pesticide."

Comments to the EPA will be closed as of January 20, 2009, so we have only a short time to act on this issue in order to save colloidal silver from being regulated into oblivion.

My Contact with the EPA

I picked up the phone this afternoon and called the EPA at the number under “Contact Us” on their web site (202-564-4700).

A very nice gentleman named “Peter” answered and I asked him how I could submit a comment on the nanosilver regulation issue, as their web site appears to offer no easy way to take and deliver such comments from the public.

He said to send comments by fax or email directly to the EPA Administrator, Mr. Stephen Johnson:

Email: johnson.stephen@epa.gov

Fax: 202-501-1450

Be sure to reference Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650.

Also, be sure to state that you are commenting in regards to the “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides.”

I also found a page on the EPA web site that says comments can be sent by mail to the following address:

Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket (7502P)
Environmental Protection Agency

1200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW

Washington, DC 20460-0001

Additionally, after much searching, I was able to figure out a way to post a comment to the EPA web site regarding the proposed regulations. I used this link, which I hope works for everyone else, too:

http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=SubmitComment&o=09000064807cd9b1

Must Act Quickly and Decisively!

As quickly as possible we need to get the above contact information posted on as many relevant natural health internet forums as possible, and also circulated by email to all relevant people in the natural health industry.

Please do your part to help by referring as many "natural health" people as possible to this blog post.

The rabid environmentalists have had a huge head start on this issue, since they are the only ones who knew where to send comments to. And there is only a very short period of time left between now and January 20th to submit further comments.

Wild and Invalid Claims

As you may already know, the environmental groups and fake "consumer advocate" groups have been making wild and invalid claims about nanosilver for some time now, stating that it is in immediate need of EPA regulation due to its alleged potential to harm the environment.

Through deception and chicanery these groups have managed to convince the EPA to re-classify nanosilver as a "pesticide" under an obscure set of regulations known as FIFRA.

Now they are pressing the FDA to strictly enforce those regulations under the supposition that nanosilver products represents a dire threat to the environment.

Yet not one study to date – I repeat, not one study -- has ever demonstrated nanosilver to have harmed any part of the environment. Instead, only test tube and lab studies extrapolating its alleged negative effects on the environment have been conducted.

And for the most part, those studies have been conducted by researchers who were either hired by the environmental groups to demonstrate nanosilver’s alleged harmful environmental attributes, or by researchers specifically working to forward the agenda of these groups.

In other words, the so-called studies have been conducted by researchers who are predisposed to believe nanosilver is somehow harmful, or somehow represents a dire threat to the environment. They have been paid to demonstrate exactly that. This means the study outcomes are decided upon in advance, before the studies are even started. This is junk science at its worst.

Re-Defining NanoSilver to Include Colloidal Silver

What’s more, the environmental groups behind this drive to have nanosilver regulated into oblivion have re-defined the term “nanosilver” to include just about any commercial form of natural silver available on the market today, including ALL colloidal silver products.

In one of their petitions to the EPA demanding the regulation of nano-silver products, these groups have even named some of the top commercial colloidal silver brands on the market today (including Sovereign Silver, Meso-Silver, ASAP Colloidal Silver, Utopia Silver and more) as being in dire need of “regulation.”

So the whole thing reeks of a stealth campaign to have colloidal silver banned.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that silver has been in the environment for millions of years. In its natural state, bonded to other minerals and natural substances, it causes no harm to the environment whatsoever.

As commercially produced nanosilver returns to the environment it is very rapidly degraded as it agglomerates (i.e., bonds together) with natural minerals, salts and other natural environmental substances that in effect eliminate its commercial nano-scale attributes, as well as effectively neutralizing its so-called “potentially harmful pesticide qualities” (i.e., its ability to kill pathogens on contact).

So in reality, there is no threat to the environment whatsoever from nanosilver products.

Rigged Studies

The researchers who have ostensibly demonstrated harmful attributes of nanosilver on environmental life forms such as bacteria or tiny minnows used extremely high quantities of pure commercially produced nanosilver products in their lab studies.

In other words they used levels of nanosilver that would simply never be found in the environment, due to silver’s propensity to bond rapidly with a multitude of other minerals, salts and other substances and return to its natural state once back in the environment.

In short, the studies are bunk. They prove nothing. The reason the studies were conducted in the laboratory rather than in the actual environment is because it was already known what would have been demonstrated in an true environmental study. No environmental harm whatsoever would have been found.

But by doing lab studies under rigged conditions that could never be found in the environment itself, the environmentalist researchers were able to demonstrate exactly what they set out to demonstrate. In other words, these studies were a “fix” from the beginning, in my opinion.

My Comments to the EPA

Here is what I posted through the EPA web site comment submission system earlier today. Whether or not these comments actually get posted to the EPA web site is another story. We shall see. Nevertheless, I also intend to submit my comments through the EPA’s email and fax systems noted above, as well as through the U.S. mail at the address noted above.

Folks, we need to bombard EPA with comments against the proposal to further regulate nano-silver as a “pesticide,” just as the environmentalists have been bombarding them with comments in favor of the proposal. Here’s the comment I submitted:

To the Honorable Mr. Stephen Johnson, Administrator:

The idea that nanosilver needs to be regulated by EPA due to ostensilbe harm to the environment is ridiculous at face value.
No study has ever demonstrated nanosilver to have caused harm to the environment.

The only studies conducted have been laboratory studies that have extrapolated nanosilver's alleged environmental impact. These studies have completely ignored the fact that once returned to the environment nanosilver rapidly bonds with minerals, salts and other natural substances, forming non-nano scale conglomerate particulates, essentially returning the silver to its natural harmless state.

In other words, once returned to the environment it is no longer nanosilver. And it no longer has the attributes deemed harmful by the white coat lab researchers who have conducted their laboratory studies using nanosilver in its purest and most non-adulterated commercial form rather than looking at what actually happens to nanosilver once it returns to the environment.

By promoting lab studies that assume nanosilver somehow remains in its nano-scale commercial form once returned to the environment -- which is so demonstrably false as to be ludicrous -- the environmentalists behind the push to regulate nanosilver as a new “pesticide” have done EPA and the American public a grave injustice. They have created an environmental "crisis" where none exists.

If you carefully read the petitions and press releases put out by the environmental groups now petitioning EPA in regards to regulating nanosilver, you will see they are so full of unsupported speculations and weasel words (i.e., "might cause harm" "could impact the environment," "may be highly destructive") as to be laughable.

We respectively submit EPA ignore the rabid calls to regulate nanosilver being made by neo-Luddite environmentalist groups. It is simply and conclusively a non-issue, in terms of potential harm to the environment.

Silver has always been in the environment and always will be. And when commercially produced nanosilver is returned to the environment it does not in any way, shape or form retain its commercial nanosilver properties. This issue is therefore moot; it is the proverbial "much ado about nothing."

Respectfully,S. Spencer Jones

Positive Impact

Hopefully we can make some positive impact against the proposal to have EPA regulate nano-silver as an environmental contaminant. But we have only a short time to act. And if we fail to act we will likely see the demise of the entire colloidal silver market.

So please be sure to help us get this vital information out to the natural health community.

Put the Means of Colloidal Silver Production
Into Your Own Hands While There Is Still Time

For anyone wishing to put the means of colloidal silver production into your own hands, please consider getting a colloidal silver generator right away. With a colloidal silver generator you can produce all of the colloidal silver you'll ever need, any time you want, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for only a few pennies per quart.

The Coming Ban on Colloidal Silver Generators

The Coming Ban on Colloidal Silver Generators

[Important Note: We are grateful to our good friends at Life & Health Research Group, LLC for allowing us to reprint this very important article. Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. No reproduction without the expressed written permission of the publisher, Life & Health Research Group, LLC, PO Box 1239, Peoria AZ 85380-1239.]

Ever since the FDA wrote their infamous “Final Ruling” on colloidal silver back in August of 1999, they have been relentlessly pushing the notion that silver is “ineffective” as an anti-microbial or infection-fighting agent.

But now, a new crop of bureaucrats are actually questioning whether or not silver works too good, and might eventually pose a danger to our nation’s rivers, lakes and streams if enough of it gets into the environment and begins to kill off the “ecologically important” bacteria our fragile eco-system supposedly depends upon.

In just a moment, I’ll tell you why this new bureaucratic tactic has resulted in a stealth ban on the sale of colloidal silver generators, and ultimately on the sale of colloidal silver itself. But first, let me take one step back and remind you of how this all started…

A Little History: Why the FDA Will Have to Eat Their Words

Shortly after the FDA’s “Final Ruling,” I wrote a brief newsletter article explaining why the medical bureaucrats would eventually have to eat their words and refute the idea that silver is “ineffective” as an antimicrobial agent.

After all, I knew at the time that new research being conducted by big business and well as corporate medicine would prove silver beyond any shadow of a doubt to be a highly effective antimicrobial and infection-fighting agent.

I also knew that big business would ultimately start utilizing colloidal silver “nano-particles” (i.e., tiny micro-particles of silver measured in nanometers) as powerful disinfectants in a huge array of products in order to help stop the spread of bacteria, infection and disease.

I later expanded that article and published it under the title of “Big Business Moves Into Silver-Based Antimicrobials In a BIG Way.” The article revealed how dozens of large businesses were beginning to use silver as an infection-fighting agent in numerous applications. These applications include everything from disinfecting city drinking water…to sanitizing soda pop bottles…to killing microbes on food processing machinery…and even sanitizing towels, dish rags and bedding in the laundry.

What’s more, I revealed how silver was being used to eliminate bacterial growth on toothbrushes…and to make bandages up to 1000 times more effective at preventing wound infections. I also revealed how silver nano-particles are being used to retard microbial growth in alligator tanks in Florida…keep heating and cooling ducts bacteria and fungus-free throughout the United States…and even to keep potentially harmful germs from growing in the drinking water onboard the U.S. Space Shuttle. Plus I revealed many other astonishing uses for this most powerful of natural antibiotics.

Convincing the Natural Health Skeptics

My newsletter article helped convince literally thousands of natural health skeptics that mineral silver was indeed one of the most powerful natural infection-fighting agents known to man. What’s more, it helped people understand the simple fact that, contrary to the FDA’s vain assertions, silver in its natural liquid form – i.e., colloidal silver – is one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent infections and cure a myriad of infectious illnesses and diseases.

My original newsletter article even demonstrated how you could use a safe, simple and relatively inexpensive countertop device called a colloidal silver generator to reap the same profound infection-fighting and antimicrobial benefits provided by the more expensive silver-laced products being produced and sold by Big Business.

Environmental Bureaucrats Add a Surprising New Twist to the Battle Against Colloidal Silver

While the FDA continues to push the same tired old story about silver’s inherent “ineffectiveness,” and continues to attack colloidal silver vendors who dare to reveal the true extent of silver’s incredible infection-fighting properties, a whole new crop of bureaucrats – this time, environmental bureaucrats – are sowing new seeds of doubt about silver. But this time they are doing so with a very interesting twist.

The twist is this: Instead of standing by the FDA’s false claim that silver is “ineffective,” the environmental bureaucrats admit that silver is actually an astonishingly effective infection-fighting agent. Yes, perhaps too darn effective, they say.

In fact, the environmental bureaucrats claim that silver is so effective, if too much of it is released back into the environment, it could harm our fragile eco-system by wiping out “ecologically important bacteria.” Therefore, the use of silver in products, as well as the use of silver-producing devices, must now be regulated!

For example, here’s an excerpt from an article titled, “Safety of New Bacteria-Killing Coating Questioned,” published on LiveScience.com:

While silver’s ability to kill bacteria has long been known, not everyone is sold on the idea of using silver nano-particles in consumer products. Limited research has been done on how they interact with other organisms, which is particularly critical because of the particles’ ability to penetrate cell membranes.

“Certainly it is a very good antimicrobial product,” says Zhiqiang Hu from the University of Missouri, who is studying the safety of silver nano-particles. “But, it can kill the benign species [of bacteria] as well.” Hu says what concerns him the most is the effect silver nano-particles could have on aquatic organisms. Many types of bacteria live in lakes and streams, and if silver nano-particles were to get into the water system they could disrupt the aquatic ecosystem.

Hu is not alone in his concerns. Andrew Maynard, the chief science advisor for the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, funded by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Pew Charitable Trust, is also concerned about the lack of research and regulation on the use of silver nano-particles. He says this technology is cropping up in unlikely products, like socks, kitchenware and cosmetics, to name a few.

“You have an anti-microbial agent appearing everywhere, including children’s fluffy toys, with no knowledge about its health or environmental implications,” Maynard says. “What are the chances of it taking out an ecologically important bacteria?”

Exactly how could silver from a “children’s fluffy toy” end up “taking out an ecologically important bacteria”? According to Dr. Hu, “The silver particles enter sewage systems following the washing of hands after people have handled the nanotechnology enhanced products.”

So there you have it. The environmental bureaucrats are actually claiming that because silver nano-particles are so effective at killing bacteria, and because they are now being used in a variety of products that people might touch before washing their hands and sending them into the sewage systems, they pose a potential serious risk to the environment. And what is that risk? It could harm “an ecologically important bacteria”!

Considering the fact that silver comes from the environment in the first place, this sounds like much ado about nothing, right? But it is really about something very important. In fact, it is…

…All About Control

If you read between the lines, you’ll see that this is all about control. The powers that be realize that silver has become one of the world’s most popular natural antimicrobial agents. Indeed, an estimated 10 million people across North America now use colloidal silver regularly. And there are millions more users around the world.

What’s more, Big Business is applying silver to so many new products; the bureaucrats can’t keep up with it. So, as you’ll see in a moment, they now want to restrict and control any product that uses silver as an antimicrobial agent, as well as any product that produces silver for use as an antimicrobial agent!

And as you’ll see shortly, they’re already using to use this new ploy – i.e., the idea that the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent is so effective it could eventually harm “ecologically important” bacteria in the environment – to draw up new laws governing the use of silver, and the use of silver-producing devices.

Yes, it has already begun. Only a few months ago the EPA quietly re-classified silver as a pesticide and a potential “environmental pollutant” under an antiquated 1947 law called the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This action allows the bureaucrats to regulate both the production and usage of silver, if it is being produced for antimicrobial purposes.

According to medical journalist Sepp Hasslberger:

More than a year ago, a little noticed article reported a study that found silver nano-particles, as found in silver colloids, were able to kill HIV, in addition to a broad spectrum of viral bugs. Now, the US health authorities seem to have found a way to prevent this breakthrough from making it into broad public use…The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now selectively targeting nano-silver as an “environmental pollutant,” while practically ignoring pharmaceuticals and toxic chemical pesticides. Indeed, the EPA is using emerging regulations on the health effects of nano-particles to selectively target colloidal silver products as “pesticides.”

According to an article by natural health journalist Ben Kage at NaturalNews.com:

…while the Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to regulate popular nano-silver antibacterial products, ostensibly to protect consumers, critics say the move is a thinly veiled attempt to solely regulate nano-silver as a health supplement…Silver was brought under close EPA scrutiny when washing machine manufacturers began making models that sprayed tiny silver particles onto the clothes as an antibacterial agent. Last year, the EPA decided that the machines should be regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act. Under these regulations, any silver product that claims it has antibacterial properties must prove the product is safe to be released into the environment.

Mike Adams, a consumer health journalist and strong proponent of colloidal silver, rightly suggests the regulations might work better were they aimed at antibiotic drugs and other pharmaceuticals. He states:

“Isn't it interesting that the EPA chooses to completely ignore the environmental safety of all the millions of tons of pharmaceuticals flushed down toilets every year while selectively targeting silver products?” he said. “Why isn't the EPA concerned about the environmental toxicity of pharmaceuticals?”

In short, the bureaucrats are going to use the environment angle to justify controlling colloidal silver production and usage. Within a very short period of time, they are going to pass new regulations, and with the stroke of a pen companies will only be able to sell silver-based antimicrobial products if they can prove they are not going to harm some “ecologically important” bacteria in the environment!
As Ralph Fucetola, an attorney for the natural health industry who is known nationally as the “Vitamin Lawyer,” has pointed out, “The EPA will require proof of the safety of silver in the environment only if the companies make germ-killing claims…They are only concerned about safety if the public is being given information about silver’s germ-killing benefits.”

In other words, you can produce and sell all of the silver-based products you want, in any form you want, and let as much silver as you want escape back into the environment. No harm, no foul. But once you start telling consumers about silver’s phenomenal germ-killing and infection-fighting benefits, you automatically fall under the new regulations and must prove your silver-based product will not upset the eco-system before you can continue selling it!

Attorney Fucetola continues, “"Silver is spread throughout the environment already. Taking silver from the environment, using it and having some of it return to the environment is no different than the use of any other metal from the environment, whether iron, copper, or whatever.”

In short, the entire idea that silver must be regulated because it “returns to the environment” is just a smokescreen. In reality, all metals extracted from the environment eventually return to the environment. As noted health journalist Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com points out, “This is not a regulation designed to protect the environment from nanotechnology; it's a stealth ploy that selectively attempts to remove colloidal silver from the marketplace.”

And it’s not just colloidal silver the environmental bureaucrats are after. As you’re about to learn, it’s the devices that produce it, as well.

The End of the Line for Colloidal Silver Generators?

As mentioned earlier in this article, the EPA has already determined that clothes washing machines such as the new Samsung “Silver Care” product line that injects small amounts of colloidal silver into the rinse cycle in order to help keep dish rags, bedding and even clothing fresh and bacteria-free longer after each washing, must now be registered with them and ultimately regulated as a pesticide-producing device.

The bureaucrats now claim that the tiny amounts of silver discharged by the washing machine could get into the nation’s sewer systems and from there get into the lakes and streams, and harm aquatic bacteria. Therefore, these machines must now be registered with the EPA, and the manufacturer must prove that no harm to the environment can come from its usage!

What’s most important to understand about this story is how the Samsung “Silver Care” washer works: You see, this washer incorporates a small colloidal silver generator in its design that automatically kicks on during the rinse cycle, so clothing can be disinfected with silver particles at the same time they are being rinsed. If you don’t believe me, you can view the patent for this tiny colloidal silver generator yourself. It can be found online at www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2005056907

In other words, the EPA is already regulating the usage of colloidal silver generators for at least one major application. And the way their new regulations read, they actually cover all silver-producing devices – including the little home colloidal silver generators. In fact, they now all fall under the ridiculous heading of “pesticide producing” devices.

No Exaggeration

If you still think I’m exaggerating, you might want to read the EPA’s newly released regulatory document, published in the Federal Register, titled, “Clarification for Ion-Generating Equipment.” In it, you’ll see that the EPA ultimately intends to regulate ALL equipment that generates silver ions. For example, under the topic “Does This Action Apply to Me?” the EPA writes:

"In fact, you may be affected by this action if you sell or distribute ion-generating equipment that uses electrodes to emit chemical substances for pesticidal purposes. Potentially affected equipment include but are not limited to, washing machines containing electrodes that emit silver, copper, or zinc ions and ion generators used in swimming pools to kill algae and as an adjunct to the chlorination process [i.e., to kill bacteria]."

"This listing is not exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this action."

"Other types of technology not listed in this notice could also be affected. The Agency requests information on any other type of equipment that generates ions from electrodes for pesticidal purposes that could be covered under this notice."

The EPA then goes on in this new regulation to interpret the term “pesticidal” as including anything that results in the killing of germs! In other words, they are calling on the public to report “any other type of equipment that generates [metallic] ions from electrodes” for germ-killing purposes!

The EPA regulatory document goes on to state:

The articles covered by this notice are ion generators that incorporate a substance (e.g., silver or copper) in the form of an electrode, and pass a current through the electrode to release ions of that substance for the purpose of preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating a pest such as bacteria or algae.

Because these items incorporate a substance or substances that accomplish their pesticidal function, such items are considered pesticides for purposes of FIFRA, and must be registered prior to sale or distribution.

Folks, what they have just described is a colloidal silver generator, pure and simple.

Manufacturers Have Only Until March 23, 2009

What’s more, the document goes on to say that manufacturers and importers of such equipment (i.e., silver or copper ion-producing electronic devices) have until no later than March 23, 2009 to register with the EPA, submit their documentation and then wait until the EPA “acts upon their application.”

According to the new regulations, retailers can continue to sell their remaining inventories of these electronic devices up to the time of the deadline, but cannot have any more of the devices manufactured for sale unless the manufacturer has already registered the device with the EPA and has had it approved, apparently after conducting the required environmental impact studies to prove they pose no harm to “ecologically important bacteria” in the environment.

If you can’t see the handwriting on the wall at this point, please don’t come to me a few months from now and try to say I didn’t tell you so when they finally regulate colloidal silver generators into oblivion. While the big international multi-million dollar corporations such as Samsung which use these devices to control bacteria might be able to comply with the required “environmental impact” regulations, there is not a snowball’s chance in hell that your average colloidal silver generator manufacturer will be able to comply. The costs are just too astronomical.

In short, the time is now coming – and is indeed already upon us – when colloidal silver generators will simply no longer be legal to sell for personal use, unless you are one of the big corporations who include them in products like washing machines and swimming pools, and have the requisite pull to get the products registered and approved.

Get a Colloidal Silver Generator Now, While They’re Still Legally Available

One of the smartest moves you can make is getting a high-quality colloidal silver generator now, while they are still legally available. In a matter of months you’ll probably have to pay through the nose to get one, and you’ll likely have to get it from some shady character operating out of the trunk of his car. And God only knows how shoddy the device will be.

Remember, manufacturers of metallic ion-producing devices have only until March 23, 2009 to comply with the new regulations. And retail sellers of such devices are only allowed to sell off their existing inventories between now and March 23rd, while waiting on their manufacturer to obtain EPA approval. (Most won’t be able to, because they can’t afford the studies to prove their devices won’t result in harm to the environment.)

In other words, under the new regulations the manufacturers can’t even make any more of the little generators unless they have EPA approval. And since most sellers of colloidal silver generators carry less than a month’s worth of existing inventory, the existing supply of colloidal silver generators could easily run out well before the end of this year. Indeed, within a matter of just a few short months there could be no legal colloidal silver generators left available anywhere in the U.S.!

But by putting the means of colloidal silver production into your hands right now, while it is still legal to do so and while high-quality colloidal silver generators are still commercially available, you’ll be able to protect yourself and your family against dangerous pathogens and disease-causing microorganisms literally for a lifetime. That’s because, when you own a colloidal silver generator you can make colloidal silver any time you want it, day or night, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, for only pennies per batch. And there is absolutely nothing the bureaucrats can do about it.

What’s more, if you purchase a brand new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator or one of the other fine generators from our good friends at The Silver Edge, you’ll gain a significant added advantage over conventional colloidal silver generators sold by other companies. That’s because the manufacturer of the devices sold by The Silver Edge has purposely designed them to use silver electrodes composed of one of the most popular and easily available forms of pure .999 fine silver jeweler’s wire, rather than those difficult-to-obtain flat silver bars used by other colloidal silver generator makers. This is important, since the silver electrodes in all colloidal silver generators need to be replaced at least once every two or three years. The silver electrodes used in the machines sold by The Silver Edge can always be purchased inexpensively from jewelers, or directly from The Silver Edge over the phone or internet. Pure .999 fine silver jeweler’s wire for your new generator from The Silver Edge will never be banned or become unavailable, because it is an integral part of silver jewelry-making.

What’s more, once you own one of these high-quality colloidal silver generators, you can use it for anything you want. For example, you can…

...Add four or five ounces of colloidal silver to your bath water, to help rapidly clear up skin infections or other pesky skin conditions

...Spray colloidal silver onto kitchen counter tops and cutting boards to kill germs, mold, mildew and other microbes

...Soak your store-bought fruits and vegetables in colloidal silver to eradicate potentially harmful bacteria and fungus from the food surfaces

...Clean and decontaminate faucets, door knobs, and other contact surfaces such as that filthy blade on your kitchen can opener, simply by spraying a little colloidal silver on them from time to time

...Add a couple of ounces of colloidal silver to your daily laundry as a natural antiseptic agent that will keep clothes, bath towels, dish rags, and other fabrics fresh and germ-free for weeks on end

...Soak your toothbrush in colloidal silver to prevent microbial contamination

...Spray colloidal silver directly onto the plants in your home or garden to stop fungal and bacterial outbreaks

...Spray colloidal silver around sinks, bathtubs and other surfaces to stop mold and mildew in its tracks

...Spray colloidal silver topically onto cuts and burns for prevention of infection, and to stimulate rapid wound healing

...Spray colloidal silver on your scalp each day to stop itching and dandruff almost instantly

You can even add colloidal silver to your pet’s water bowl to resolve internal infections and help prevent illness...add a little colloidal silver to your aquarium tank to prevent fungal "ick" and other tropical fish infections...put a drop or two of colloidal silver into your ears to knock out a pesky earache without having to use prescription antibiotics...Gargle with colloidal silver to eradicate sore throats...

...Put colloidal silver into a spray atomizer and sniff it up your nose to eliminate sinus infections...add a drop or two of colloidal silver into your eyes to stop Pink Eye or styes in a single afternoon...and there are so many, many more astonishing healing, infection-fighting and disease-preventing benefits you gain from using colloidal silver regularly, you’ll ask yourself why you’ve never tried it before!

What's more, because colloidal silver is safe to use internally, you can actually drink it in order to alleviate intestinal infections…stop urinary tract infections…cure upper respiratory infections…wipe out infection-based prostate problems…stop colds and flu in their tracks...and much, much more!

As Dr. Joseph Weissman, M.D., board certified immunologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California Medical School has written:

“Today, many antibiotics are losing the battle with germs. Fortunately, the best germ killer, which was discovered over 2,000 years ago, is finally getting the proper attention from medical science – natural silver. I sincerely recommend that everyone have electrically generated silver in their home as an antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal agent.”

By getting a colloidal silver generator now – before the bureaucrats remove them from the market altogether – you guarantee yourself access to safe, natural, infection-fighting colloidal silver for the rest of your life.

Remember, there is nothing the bureaucrats want more than to control your access to colloidal silver, which means your ability to produce it. And in my opinion, they are going to take action a lot sooner than you might think. But there is not a thing the meddling bureaucrats can do about it if you already own a colloidal silver generator. Once you own the means of colloidal silver production, you are in charge.


Learn More About Colloidal Silver Usage, Quickly and Easily

If you need to learn more about colloidal silver usage before making the decision to purchase a colloidal silver generator, perhaps you should invest in an inexpensive copy of the brand new 60-minute studio-quality Colloidal Silver Secrets video, in which I personally demonstrate dozens of little-known ways colloidal silver can be used to kill infections, cure illness and disease, and prevent the spread of infections throughout your home…for just pennies.

The video is now available in both DVD and VHS formats, and for a limited time only is on sale for under $20, so it is a real bargain, particularly if you act quickly and decisively before it goes back to its regular price of $59.95.

If you prefer colloidal silver knowledge that is absolutely encyclopedic in scope, then you might want to take a look at my newly updated book, The Ultimate Colloidal Silver Manual, which I have spent the last year and a half expanding from 252-pages to a whopping 547-pages.

It is now the single-most comprehensive book on colloidal silver usage in the world. (Read more about it here.) This blockbuster book is the result of over 13 years worth of journalistic research into colloidal silver usage, including over 2,000 interviews with doctors, naturopaths, nurses, O.D.’s, dentists, chiropractors and regular folks alike regarding their experiences with colloidal silver.

Plus, it contains over 30 pages of specific colloidal silver dosage information for specific diseases. And you’ll find a complete synopsis of every major medical study on colloidal silver conducted from 1897 to the present day. Perhaps that’s why it is now the world’s #1 best-selling book on colloidal silver!

At the very least, you should take a moment to download a FREE copy of the new “Colloidal Silver Safe Dosage” report from our good friends at The Silver Edge by going to their web site at www.TheSilverEdge.com. You’ll find the blue download box in the upper left-hand corner of the home page.

Act Now, Before It’s Too Late…
The handwriting is already on the wall. The environmental bureaucrats want nothing more than to completely control the production and use of colloidal silver. They want it so badly; they’ll even stoop so low as to claim they must slap new controls on colloidal silver production and usage in order to protect bacteria in the environment!

Of course, you already know what a lame excuse that is. After all, the environmental bureaucrats have not acted to force pharmaceutical companies to prove that their prescription antibiotic drugs aren’t harming the environment or killing off “ecologically important” bacteria, even though it is now well-known these drugs are turning up in the drinking water as well as in the food chain at unsafe levels.

So it is abundantly evident that the environmental bureaucrats are not interested in “protecting bacteria” or “protecting the environment.” That’s just a ploy to give them complete control over the production and use of silver-based products such as colloidal silver. What they want most is to regulate the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent. And in order to do so, they are willing to say just about anything.

So be sure to get a colloidal silver generator right away, before the bureaucrats regulate them into oblivion. I strongly recommend the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge, because of its ability to produce tiny silver micro-particles that are so small (as low as.0008 microns), they can be absorbed directly into cells and tissues where chronic degenerative disease-causing “stealth-pathogens” such as mycoplasmas like to hide. Such tiny micro-particles are far more easily absorbed by the body, utilized for their infection-fighting purposes, and then expelled afterwards. Conventional forms of colloidal silver simply can’t compare. To learn more, to to www.TheSilverEdge.com or call The Silver Edge today at: 1-888-528-0559 and place your order by phone.

P.S. Not to be outdone by the EPA, it now appears that the FDA – silver’s most vocal nemesis – has smelled blood in the water and is working overtime to get in on the act. In a recent article published in Science Daily, titled “FDA Sees Nanotech Challenges In Every Product Category It Regulates,” the FDA’s Emerging Nanotechnologies Director David Rejeski stated, "Today, FDA took a major step forward in fulfilling its responsibilities for nanotechnology oversight… [FDA intends to] move towards ensuring the benefits of nanotechnology are realized without undue risk.” Since the nano-material of choice among new product manufacturers is silver (according to Science Daily, silver now appears in over 139 brand new nano-tech products, far outstripping the use of other nano-materials such as carbon, gold or silica) it is not a difficult stretch to see where the FDA intends to go with this.

Of course, as I predicted in 1999, the heavy-handed bureaucrats at the FDA will now have to eat their own words and admit that silver is indeed nature’s most powerful natural infection-fighting agent. But in so doing they will give themselves broad new power to regulate the use of silver in every conceivable form. After all, they’re not about to let the EPA outmaneuver them in the long bureaucratic battle to control the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent.

Soon, colloidal silver generators will no longer be available to the general public, thanks to the spurious environmental issue. And you’d better believe that over-the-counter sales of colloidal silver will be in grave jeopardy too, as the bureaucrats continue to claim that the release of silver into the environment could harm “ecologically important” bacteria.

P.P.S. URGENT ALERT! Just as this article was going to press we found out that one of the most rabid environmental groups in the United States, the International Center for Technology Assessment, has filed legal briefs against the EPA in an effort to force them to clamp down faster on silver-based products, and enforce the new regulations which classify silver and the machines that produce it as “pesticides.”

This group has also published a listing of over 200 products that either contain small particles of silver, or that produce small particles of silver. And they are demanding that these products be brought under the regulatory grip of the EPA. In other words, they are demanding these products be regulated as “pesticides” and that their manufacturers immediately be forced to prove they are not harmful to “ecologically important” bacteria in the environment before they can continue to be sold.
What’s important about this new move by the environmentalists is that virtually every major manufacturer of bottled colloidal silver products is on that “hit list,” including Sovereign Silver, Meso-Silver, Utopia Silver and more. (You can view the list for yourself at http://www.nanoaction.org/nanoaction/page.cfm?id=244).

Ultimately, the environmentalists are pushing for a total ban on colloidal silver products, because they know there is not a single colloidal silver manufacturer in the world that can prove their product won’t harm some “ecologically important bacteria” in the environment.

If you’ve ever wanted to own the means of colloidal silver production, so that you will always have the ability to produce as much high-quality colloidal silver as you want, any time you need it, quickly and easily in the privacy and sanctity of your own home, this is obviously the time to act decisively to obtain a high-quality colloidal silver generator before the environmental bureaucrats begin clamping down on the sale of colloidal silver and the machines that produce it. Don’t let the environmental bureaucrats rob you of your right to protect yourself against infections and disease with colloidal silver, particularly now that scientists are beginning to confirm that deadly, antibiotic-resistant MRSA and other super-pathogens which are easily decimated by colloidal silver have entered the food chain.

Instead, obtain the means of colloidal silver production for yourself and your family, and you’ll be able to make high-quality colloidal silver, quickly and easily, in the comfort and privacy of your own home, literally for the rest of your life. Just call 1-888-528-0559 today, and place your order for one of the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generators from our good friends at The Silver Edge. Or shop online at www.TheSilverEdge.com.

P.P.S. When Dr. Bob Beck, PhD., invented the first crude home colloidal silver generator for the natural health market back in the 1980’s, he recognized that the bureaucrats wanted nothing more than to prevent you from taking control of your own health by enjoying the ability to heal your own infections and related diseases without having to use expensive and potentially dangerous prescription antibiotic drugs. His oft-stated motto was “Take back your power.”

Since that time, colloidal silver generators have come a long way. Many are far more sophisticated than the original “Beck” units, and in some cases they produce a far superior and more therapeutic form of colloidal silver – such as the tiny silver micro-particles produced by the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator from The Silver Edge. What’s more, high-quality generators like the new Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator are literally built to last for a lifetime.

Dr. Beck’s legacy lives on through these new units inspired by his original invention. But so does the bureaucratic battle he fought for years. And now it is entering a brand new phase. Soon, Americans will not be able to purchase colloidal silver generators at all if the current situation does not change. And over-the-counter sales of colloidal silver may also be restricted – all thanks to the spurious environmental issue described throughout this article.

So make sure you protect your ability to take control of your family’s health and well-being by obtaining a high-quality colloidal silver generator now, while you still can. This may literally be the last time colloidal silver generators are ever available again, as the bureaucratic noose is tightening rapidly. So you might want to act quickly and decisively while there is still time. Be sure to “Take back your power” today and get a high-quality colloidal silver generator from our good friends at The Silver Edge.
