Bob.  I think we will continue to see CS on the shelf. A good thing.  CS
manufacturers just can't make certain claims.  I think it can still be sold
as a dietary supplement.  Afterall, soils are depleted.  I purchase and have
benefitted from T.J. Clark's Colloidal Minerals for quite some time.
Clark's is a mix of over 70 minerals including silver.

On the container is an appropriate disclaimer...After Clark tells his story
the statement reads..."These statements have not been evaluated by the Food
and Drug Administration.  These products are not intended to diagnose,
treat, cure or prevent any disease."

(b) Any OTC drug product containing colloidal silver ingredients or
silver salts that is labeled, represented, or promoted for the treatment
and/or prevention of any disease is regarded as a new drug within the
meaning of section 201(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(the act) for which an approved application or abbreviated application
under section 505 of the act and part 314 of this chapter is required
for marketing. In the absence of an approved new drug application or
abbreviated new drug application, such product is also misbranded under
section 502 of the act.

I'm not a lawyer, so don't take this as legal advice...only my opinion, but
what this part of the new rule means to me is that if I don't claim through
some form of labeling, representing, or otherwise promoting the idea that my
CS product treats or prevents any disease, the CS is not regarded as a new
drug and I will not be required to make application under section 505 to
market the projuct.  If I was selling CS.  I would sell it as a dietary
supplement...making no claims whatsoever.

Any other comments?

Regards,

Steven J. Geigle, CSHM
