Re: My response
Tomorrow I move to Utopia to research and write a major book project. I will also be serving as a consultant, helper and newsletter contributor to my lifelong friend's company
Utopia Silver , which markets a superior colloidal silver product as well as other supplements, minerals and health items.
Today he is in Austin working with a court appointed arbitrator to try to settle a years old dispute with the FDA. Among the FDA demands: take off every reference to diseases and conditions (Arthritis, Hepatitis-C, Cancer, etc.), change "boosts" the immune system to "enhances" huh???), remove all testimonials which speak of an illness, disease or medical condition, etc.
The end result will be that he will lose a very significant portion of his business, because he will lose rankings that have cost years of effort and hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve at the major search engines - where he gets 60% of his traffic from. (For example, someone will do a search for "arthritis remedies" but his newly titled page of "Bone and Joint Disorders" will not show up in the search, whereas his old one titled "Arthritis" would have).
Banning testimonials? So much for freedom of speech! It appears to be about as valid as freedom to choose our own health products and treatments when it comes to the virtually untouchable pharmaceutical and medical industries. As if it isn't enough that they already had a legal monopoly on the words "cure" and "treatment" which can ONLY be used by "qualified medical professionals" and the purveyors of "FDA approved medications".
As almost everyone involved with alternative health knows, colloidal silver is a wonderful, wonderful supplement whose effectiveness for cancer, hep-C, arthritis, immune boosting and numerous other conditions has long been demonstrated and the medicinal use of silver dates back centuries. As Dr. Rath once observed, "if it works, if it is cheap and if it cannot be patented" you won't see it in our marketplace!
I urge all of you to take a look at my friend's site and support him - I have the highest regard for him and for colloidal silver. His company is one of only three health product companies that I endorse and am affiliated with. If anyone would like to know the others, send me a private message. Except for rare exceptions, I do not advertise my affiliate programs or even my own books here in this forum.
I posed a question earlier, asking "Since when did Nature become a quack"?
One of my forum members had the answer: When it cut into the profits of the companies the FDA protects.
Live long, live healthy, live happy!
