PUT TO COURT TEST CONSUMER WATCHDOG TAKES ACTION OVER HEALTH DEVICE CLAIMS written by Sott Rucker
A Port Stephens inventor is facing court in an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission action against the alleged false promotion of health products. Darryl John Jones has been taken to the Federal Court in relation to alleged breaches of sections 52 and 53 of the Trades Practices Act. Among the companies health devices are Colloidal Silver makers,which are marketed as producing 'sub-micron, ultra-fine colloidal silver' that allegedly kills all disease causing bacteria, fungi and viruses within six minutes of contact. The Vital Earth company product has been advertised as killing more than 650 disease organisms including, in less than a minute( I think this is the writers mistake) anthrax, tuberculosis, shingles etc. According to advertisements, colloidal silver can be used as an antibiotic for all the acquired diseases of active AIDS, has no side effects from regular use and has been used successfully against diabetes, leprosy, lupus, skin cancer,and syphilis. The Commission is tackling Colin Ronald Dixon For allegedly making false representations about Vital Earth products on the Internet. It has also challenged another company, Raylight Pty Ltd. In the Federal Court yesterday, Justice Antony Whitlam adjourned the commission's action against Raylight until Tuesday. Justice Whitlam produced short minutes of an order against Mr.Dixon. The 'orders of consent' said it had been found Mr. Dixon had engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and had falsely promoted the alleged benefits of Vital Silver 2000 and the Vital Silver 3000 Zapper.. A further directions hearing against Vital Earth has been scheduled for November 23 1999 (end of article) This is the first case of this kind in Australia, as you can see the 'screw' is about to be twisted if anyone out there can help these people with proof as we all know it would help fight the good fight. In my 71 years of life I have seen this beautiful word being slowly destroyed, and I weep for all the younger people that are coming into this corrupt and manipulated world. have a healthy day Keith Courtenay ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel and Karen Croom To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 20, 1999 11:45 PM Subject: Re: CS>Fw: CS>silver mahine Keith, I haven't read a post from you since Sept. 15.

I finally got to the library and copied the Science Digest article "Our Mightiest Germ Fighter" and would be glad to send it to you if you still need it. Send your address and if you e-mail me direct make sure the name jesus appears before @webchoice.net (it doesn't on some people's server). About the article- since it's one of the most quoted, I wonder how many have read it? A person named Jim Powell wrote it and only quotes Dr. Margraf. His actual findings (not on colloidal silver, but on silver compounds) are said to be in Archives of Surgery published by the AMA. In the article, it says that Japanese firms used it to purify air! Hadn't heard that before. Also, that 50 gal of raw sewage when flushed through silver electrodes was completely free of E. coli within three hours.
