Re: Emergency Alert: Stop EPA From Further Regulating Colloidal Silver as a "Pesticide"

If any Curezone community members have contact with leaders within the natural health community, you really need to get this message out to them, so they can alert their customers or followers to start bombarding the EPA with comments against the petition to regulate nanosilver (read: colloidal silver) as a "pesticide." 

If these regulations are set in motion, all access to colloidal silver or colloidal silver generators will be destroyed virtually overnight, as the new regulations demand that any purveyor of any nano-sized silver product must be able to prove their product will not harm "environmentally sensitive" microorganisms in the environment. 

This will essentially destroy the colloidal silver industry, as the costs of proving that a colloidal silver product causes no harm to the environment would be prohibitive (environmental impact reports can cost millions of dollars), and the regulatory burden on colloidal silver product distributors would be unsustainable.

Please copy and send the following short note to every leader within the natural health community you may know:

Dear ____________,

The EPA is taking comments until January 20th on the petition to regulate nanosilver products -- including colloidal silver -- as a "pesticide" under the revised FIFRA regulations. 

Please read the articles at www.colloidalsilversecrets.blogspot.com and then alert your readers.

We need hundreds of readers to let the EPA know that colloidal silver should not be included under these new regulations. 

As it stands, the main petition sponsor, the International Center For Technology Assessment (CTA) has drawn up a list of nanosilver products they claim need to be regulated by EPA, and among that list are the four top brands of colloidal silver (Sovereign Silver, Meso Silver, ASAP Silver, Utopia Silver) as well as many lesser known brands.

This is clearly a ploy to regulate colloidal silver as a "pesticide" under the revised FIFRA regulations, which require you to prove your silver product causes no harm to beneficial microorganisms or other creatures in the environment.  This, in effect, would ultimately and unjustly put just about every colloidal silver manufacturer out of business, as the costs of proving that a colloidal silver product causes no harm to the environment would be prohibitive, and the regulatory burden would be unsustainable.

Please help as quickly as possible.  The EPA's comment period on this issue ends January 20th.  EPA depends heavily upon public input when deciding new regulatory issues.  Make sure they hear from thousands of colloidal silver supporters.  Get this message out to as many leaders in the natural health community as you can. 

If you haven't gone too the EPA web site and left your comments on this issue yet, then do so now by going to this link and posting your comments against the proposal to regulate nanosilver (colloidal silver) products as "pestiicides."

Or email the EPA Administrator, Stephen Johnson, at this email address: johnson.stephen@epa.gov

Or faxt EPA at:  202-501-1450

Be sure to reference Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650.

Also, be sure to state that you are commenting in regards to the “Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides.”
