Since Colloidal Silver is neither a drug nor a food...nor a supplement
with an RDA.... the FDA needn't take notice.
..and may well be purposefully not taking notice unless it's promoted as such.
The FDA doesn't control disinfectants except there associated with foods.
The EPA has approved on environmental effects, but doesn't have anything
to do with use and application except where environmental harm may occur.
No one disputes the fact that silver kills germs.
That application of silver IS being marketed in the USA by "Agion" and
others and has been for several years.
NSA water filters has been using silver ion exchange resins since the mid
80s. NASA since the sixties...Merchant marines since the late 80s or early
90s with electrolytic silver ion generators on ships to disinfect water.
So, who is left to "approve"?
That would be the user.
A study in North America and England revealed that in-building water
distribution systems are the major reservoirs for hospital-acquired
Legionnaires' disease. As a result, more than 125 leading hospitals in the
US have installed silver/copper ionization systems, which have been
successful in eradicating L. pneumophila from their hot water systems.
Silver/copper ion sanitation systems which carry the approval of the
Environmental Protection Agency and/or the Food & Drug Administration, and
certified for performance by the National Sanitation Institute/
International, Ann Arbor, MI, are available in the marketplace.
Field trials using silver colloids against cow mastitis have recently been
conducted with several herds in a few Midwestern states. All
mastitis-infected cows were inoculated with 5 to 15 ppm silver colloid. At
5 ppm, four of six strains of bacteria were eliminated. However, E. coli
was resistant and required 15 ppm for complete elimination. Following
treatment, within four milkings the presence of silver was undetectable.
The alternative is expensive bactericides which may or may not be totally
flushed out of udders. Studies are continuing to develop an FDA approval
for use with commercial milk-producing cows.
