Do note how assiduously the FDA carefully AVOIDED the
use of wording that would include "unadultered or uncompounded,
electrically-generated colloidal silver". They may be
mean-spirited.....they ARE NOT stupid.
Additionally, since colloidal silver is a
"grandfathered" (in general use as an accepted medical agent PRIOR to
the empowerment of the FDA), the FDA faces a most difficult task in
keeping it out of the hands of the general public.....but
not-so-difficult in preventing the SALE of colloidal silver by
commercial business interests. We have attempted to engage them in
meaningful dialog, repeatedly, without any success whatsoever. They
KNOW the truth of the matter, but are confidant they
can.....legally.....SPIN their way along and produce enough of a
"fog-factor" to divert the general public's attention------as they have,
so far, successfully done.
Attempting to deny the American public easy access to
this splendid health-aid...........is criminal in the extreme. At least
that is my studied opinion. Sincerely, Brooks
Bradley.
