Dear Donna Gros,
You wrote,
"With the use of Silver being on the increase in the hospitals for use in so
many areas and it also has been used with burn patients over the years in the
burn centers."
Silver's use in medicine is not in question, Silver Nitrate, Silver Chloride,
and Silver Sulfadiazine (Silver Compounds) are approved drugs which have been
in use for multiple decades, some
silver compounds have been in use for nearly a century. Indeed Silver still has
a place in medicine at least in the US. These drugs are regulated by the FDA.
Where you aware that the European Economic Community banned the use of Silver
by mouth for medicine prior to 2000? Or that during the year 2000 an EEC
committee discussed the ban of Silver as a food coloring agent in medicine
(pill colorants), even though the quantity of Silver contained was so minuscule
and the cumulative effect to be unlikely to cause harm, just harmonize the by
mouth medicine rule?
Contact me personally if you want a PDF copy of the Report.
The EEC ruling isn't very strictly enforced or has EEC's rulings have
inadequate resources to police its decisions. For example over the counter
medicine (OTC), a good friend of mine purchases OTC preparations of Colloidal
Silver, Copper, and Zinc in France as well as Argentum metalicum, a homeopathic
remedy made from Silver.
"I feel that the use of silver will never be banned."
Silver as used in electronics, jewelry, eating utensils will never be banned.
These uses are not under question as these are not a Nano Technology issue.
Nano Silver Particles in Clothes, in Bandages, in carbon water filters, and
Colloidal Silver (including generators that produce Colloidal Silver)is under
scrutiny.
"My question to others after knowing this info is why would the hospitals with
their use and also the help healing critical burn patients let silver be banned
from use?"
I never said that Silver compounds or FDA approved Silver drugs would be
banned, nor has the EPA. I was referring to silver in colloidal silver
preparations (and some other uses) as being banned if not registered and
approved as pesticides. I presume that not all the subscribers to the Silver
List have their own colloidal silver generators.
On the other hand Hospitals have little say as to what is used or not used
other than choosing from FDA approved Drugs, Medical Devices, etc. Use a non
approved device and the administrators would have liability issue, face losing
their insurance, or both.
"Working in the emergency medical field for a good may years and also knowledge
with my son-in-law in medical supplies with a very large hospital I do have
this knowledge that the increase is on the rise with the use of CS and my
feelings that the hospitals will fully support the use of silver even in the
medical facilities."
Silver use in medical facilities is on the increase and elsewhere in industry,
but Colloidal Silver per se is not among the Silver used or approved for use in
Medical Facilities. Silver impregnated dressings which are used for instance
are among the items listed by the CTA for regulation as "pesticides."
There is a stabilized Colloidal Silver that has EPA approval for use on Cruise
Ships for killing a variety of pathogens including Avian Flu virus, Human
Corona Virus (SARS), MRSA (Antibiotic resistant Staph)on hard surfaces. The
Dept of Defense also has authorized the use of a Patented stabilized Colloidal
silver (with Naptha and Formaldehyde, or Moth Balls and Embalming Fluid, both
Carcinogens) for application against Biological Agents. Both fall under the
pesticide descriptions.
The 200 odd items that are list by the CTA regulations do include Colloidal
Silver.
"Door to door, I just really had a good laugh from that and know this will
never ever happen."
I had to laugh, too, because my post said the exact opposite. If one takes time
to read it, you will find that I stated,
"I do not think that your generators would be confiscated, nor will there be
door to door searches."
(I am reminded of the game of telephone we played in grammar school.)
The EPA doesn't have the personnel, nor are they an arm of the Justice Dept. or
any Law enforcement agency.
The EPA does have a fine for knowingly selling an unapproved pesticide (or
pesticide related device). $5,000 per incident. Tell me who would attempt to
sell generators or CS under such a threat.
I do not think that Silver in all its uses will be banned.
I definitely believe that Bottle Colloidal Silver retail sales and Colloidal
Silver Generator sales could be regulated out of existence in the US.
We will find out in less than eight months.
Best Regards,
Steve Foss
