Many people do not have the luxury to engage the government in such pursuits as breaking an established law, then spending years of time and resources fighting. It would jeopardize their work in the world, and most likely lead to the discrediting of even non-related works, many of which have quite profound implications for humanity. It would be blatantly self-destructive to do so. I would highly suggest anyone considering such an act contact those who have personal experience to guide by. I would also strongly suggest consulting a good lawyer, who would inform you that while your efforts are noble, righteous, and most princely, they would not even be subject to appeal. It is like building your defense in a murder trial upon the basis that murder should not be against the law. Even if you proved your case, it would be irrelevant. A law, if passed legally, is beyond philosophical, scientific, or otherwise logical judgement.
In our case, however, I do not forsee anyone going to jail over colloidal silver. At worst, I expect the FDA will just fine "offending" companies out of business. The FDA has a history of going after truly dangerous people, and is not likely to be concerned with laymen who do not have the credentials or a demonstrated history in an important field necessary to make a large impact on public awareness. The FDA also is very reluctant to go after well organized, law abiding organizations who include a standard sample of the public. 1000 average "Americans" united in the pursuit of an altruistic aim also pose a dangerous threat. Your danger to the system does not lie in breaking the law. It lies in following it. The power lies not in assertion of Will, but in application of Wisdom. Freedom is obtained by the strictess observance of natural law. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ted Windsor <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 07, 2000 4:29 PM Subject: Re: CS>Re: Documented CS Successes under Controlled Conditions > The FDA can reclassify any thing, but this does not mean it cannot be challanged > in a court of law.
