Webmaster Note: Please copy and distribute these two FDA articles far
and wide. You should especially copy and distribute Dr. Flick's silver
bibliography below. Sending multiple copies to the FDA and your
elected public servants is important since the FDA (to whom we pay
untold millions to research and investigate) alleges: "FDA is not
aware of any substantial scientific evidence that supports the safe
and effective use of colloidal silver ingredients or silver salts for
any animal disease condition." ('animal' includes humans?) and "FDA is
not aware of any body of data that supports the use of colloidal
silver for the various conditions listed in the labeling used with
currently marketed products." They, apparently have not investigated
the scientific and medical research referenced in the following
bibiography. It is of further interest that the FDA promises to
investigate and prosecute any silver colloid maker/seller/distributor
on the basis of LABELING (marketing; i.e., via commerce clause) alone.
Therefore silver colloid is a non-issue whether one uses it or not -
especially since extensive research data really does exist.
