Thanks for your suggestion I really appreciate it and I have deceided that the risks with the FTC are too great and will focus strictly on the manufacturing process, for my Home page, and take the whole backround info about silver out. I hope it is ok to put up pdf files explaining someone elses product that they made and I am selling, and about the FDA rulings etc, so people get some proof that when we tell them we cant talk about the uses of our products we mean it. And I sinceley hope this ends the discussion on the Antibiotic part.
