Nanosilver (Particles) to be regulated by the EPA as a Pesticide? |
| |
In May of 2008 the International Center for Technology Assessment (ICTA) and the Center for Food Safety (CFS) filed a legal petition with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on behalf of a coalition of public interest organizations. The petition calls for the EPA to regulate nano-silver products as pesticides. The legal petition requests that EPA assess the safety of these materials to the public and the environment before permitting them to be marketed. The petition also calls on the agency to require safety data from manufacturers, to require mandatory and approved labeling, and last demands that the agency stop the sale of nano-silver products currently on market until the agency can properly assess their impacts.
MSM: Natural Organic Sulphur Nanosilver - What is it?A nanoparticle refers to any particle sized between 1-100 nanometers. This includes nearly all products on the market currently being sold as "colloidal silver", as well as numerous silver containing products being sold ( such as socks and anti-microbial mats ) as consumer goods.

Subject: Now, we see that the Merck Family Fund has Directly Funded the Friends of the Earth along with the John Merck Foundation
Well, well, Lookie here: These Mercks just can not seem to stop loving and GIVING to the Friends of the Earth (FOE) can they? Here we see that Merck Family Fund gave away to: How sweet. Now, we take a look at the Prior John Merck Foundation Funding to the Friends of the Earth Organization exposed months ago: Friends of the Earth $45,000.00 1992 - 2000 It looks Like the Merck Family Fund (aka. Merck Pharmaceuticals) wanted to give more to the FOE Non Profit Front Organization: than the John Merck Foundation (aka. Merck Pharmaceuticals) wanted to give to the FOE Non Profit Front Organization: which is the primary Parasite Organization responsible for attacking Colloidal Silver, and other Great and Natural Nano-Silver Products. Gee, it is no wonder that Friend of the Earth is trying so hard to snuff out Colloidal Silver. FOE has been receiving funding DIRECTLY from TWO MERCK ORGANIZATIONS!! Care to comment on this finding, Mr. Hanson (ICTA Lawyer)?? Oh, but now you might say that both of these organizations are different entities than Merck Pharmaceuticals. Oh Sure, Merck Pharmaceuticals, John Merck Foundation, and the Merck Family Fund. Merck, Merck, and Merck. Hmmm. Let's see you try to "Deceive and Spin" your way out this FACTUAL EVIDENCE.

Subject: The New Bogus Nano-Silver Hit Piece put out by "Friends of the Big Pharma Industry", Aka: Friends of the Earth
This Position Paper is such a Laughable Piece of Big Pharma Propaganda: It is so Idiotic and Hypocritical: it is not even worthy of a response. Here is one their opening Sentence's in the beginning of their Hit Piece Located in their "Executive Summary" that just needs a little more information added to it: Friends of the Earth calls for a immediate moratorium on the commercial release of products that contain manufactured nanosilver until nanotechnology-specific regulation is introduced to protect the public, workers and the environment from their risks, and until the public is involved in decision making. Here are the Corrected Sentences with the "Truthful Information" added: We (the FOE) need to continue to help the CFR, Big Pharma, United Kingdom's Royal Society, and other Elite Organizations wbleepedcontinue to FUND our FOE Organization: so that we can continue to help the Globalists Elite to continue to carry out their "Eugenics Programs" throughout the World. Furthermore, Big Pharma Funding allows us (the FOE) to publish Bogus, Non Scientific, Non Clinical Evidence based Hit Pieces like this one to Deceive the Population of the United States Citizens further. You see, we (the FOE) want to prevent them access to a "Natural Product" that emits "Natural Ions" that Cures Hundreds of Thousands of People each year from Bacterial Infections. We (the FOE) and Big Pharma Prefer that the American People be forced to Buy our More Expensive, and in many Cases more Inferior Antibiotics. We (the FOE) are pushing even harder now for "Prolonged Use" of the very Antibiotics Manufactured by the "Very Same Big Pharma Companies" wbleepedare "Funding Us Directly" to put out this totally Bogus Propaganda Piece about the Supposed Effects of Nano-Silver on the Environment, and on Humans especially Babies and Children. Never mind the fact that each year Tons of Toxic Pharmaceuticals are being flushed directly into the Water and Environment, and that Big Pharma's Drugs have been found in the Drinking Water of over 51 Million Americans. This Fact is unimportant to us (the FOE) due to the Fact that Big Daddy Pharma makes Large Contributions "Directly to our Organization" so that we can produce Hit Pieces like this against any Competing Products: especially Products that exists "Naturally in the Environment" already like Silver. Now that we (the FOE) have been exposed as a Front Organization for the Elite Big Pharma Organizations, we must rely on Big Pharma Funding Even More since the American People have Woken Up to the Fact that we have already tried to Deceive them in the Prior Bogus "Citizens Petition" that we presented to the EPA last year. We have made further enhancements to this New Bogus Nano Silver Hit Piece by placing Pictures of Innocent Infants and Children all over this Position Report so that it is clear that we (the FOE) want to play on the "Fear of Parents" which is the Exact type of Propaganda that Big Daddy Pharma would expect us to use. Furthermore, even though we do Not Have or "Know Of" a Single Case of someone ever dying Directly from a "Nano-Silver Overdose", we have decided to use the term "Biocidal" as our Heading because it just sounds so Scary to the Average Person. We (the FOE) know that the term "Biocidal" would actually be more applicable to the Numerous "Pharmaceutical Products" that have Killed Numerous People over the years: many of which died in "Violent Allergic Reactions" to the "Pharmaceuticals themselves": But again, that does matter to us because we (the FOE) receive direct funding from Big Pharma to carry out their Agenda including as this Deceptive Position Paper Nano-Silver Hit Piece. We (the FOE) are also aware of the Fact that many people can have extreme "Biocidal" Reactions to even the "Simplest of Pharmaceuticals" including good old "Penicillin". In Fact, even though most of the Readers of our Bogus Position Paper know someone in their personal life wbleepedis "Very Allergic" to "Penicillin", we still Prefer to call Nano-Silver "Biocidal" even though we know that many Pharmaceutical Products including "Penicillin" are truly "Biocidal" to a Huge Segment of the "Human Population" including some of the very "Children and Infants" that we Portray in our Propaganda Pictures in this Position Paper Nano-Silver Hit Piece. The EPA must continue to Ignore that Fact that "Penicillin" is thousands times more "Biocidal" than any "Nano-Silver Product" could ever be. The EPA must continue to help us to help carry out the Agenda of Big Pharma: so that we (the FOE) can continue to "Deceive the American People", and so that we (the FOE) can continue to be a Front Non Profit Organization for the Elite Big Pharma Companies including Big Daddy Merck. You all are No Better than Heroin Pushers. August 06, 2009 - 20:46

Subject: Buy now
Sad to say i missed out on trying to vote to stop this insanity going ahead, I do agree that commercial uses should be halted, by that i mean the stupid uses like bin liners,clothing and washers. but as a simple effective and safe, and affordable option for so many people it needs to be left alone. There is a noticeable "targeting" of certain successful companies! Poor chap at Utopia silver has had years of govt harrassment, stinks! Merk used citizen petition to get vit b6 declared a drug( after they tested and synthed it) this is exactly the same ploy again.Homeland security is more threatened by the enemy within, i name merk and dow and monsanto novartis syngenta et al March 06, 2009 - 07:16
Subject: Rolf Hansen
Rolf, you seem to have been taken in by the pharma propaganda surrounding the current scare tactics to push through the proposed legislation limiting silver product availability. I might suggest that you go to this link and read some scientific findings about silver and the environment, for your remarks only further the ignorance surrounding this most beneficial of all minerals. Here you will find the statements of toxicologist Dr. Gordon Pederson and Gerard Yates, a department manager of water quality and water treatment at the Central Utah Water Project. Their words carry far more weight than the hysteria drummed up by a group of pharmaceutical funded attorneys in Washington DC, for these words are based on hard science and objective observations... not corporate money and self interest.

Subject: Corporate Big Pharma is trying to Ban Antimicrobial Silver
Well, Well, it looks like the Corporate Elite in the Big Pharma Industry are at it again. This time they are using (hiding behind) these so called "Non Profit Organizations" as Fronts for Big Pharma to try Ban the Use of Effective "Antimicrobial Silver" Products that are both Useful and In-Expensive to the General Public as Good Alternatives to their Expensive Antibiotic Pharma Treatments. Big Pharma's First attempt to Scare the General Public Away from the Useful, In-Expensive, and in many Medical Situations Superior "Antimicrobial Silver" Products: was to Parade "Blue Man" around on the Main Stream Media Outlets such as CNN, Oprah Winfrey, etc. However, anyone whom does even the Minimal Research knows that cases of "Argyria" are "Super Rare". So, as soon as Big Pharma was actually able to find such a "Super Rare" Case of Argyria (A Needle in a Hay Stack) they went Hog Wild with the "Blue Man" Parade in Main Stream Media. The funny thing about "Blue Man" is that although he admits that he overdid the concentrations of the amount of Metallic Silver by a Huge Amount, "Blue Man" will be the First One to Admit that Antimicrobial Silver solved All of his other Medical Conditions Very Quickly. Now, the Big Pharma Money Hungry Elite are at it again by trying to state the "Antimicrobial Silver" should be classified as a "Pesticide" in all Forms? What kind of Sick Joke is this? The "Non Profit Front Organizations" whom put forth this Back Door Bogus EPA Proposal should now know that they look like complete idiots, also: Most of these so called "Non Profit Front Organizations" are in the back pockets (Being Funded) by the CFR Type of Elitist whom are "Hiding" Behind them including Big Pharma Companies. You say that Antimicrobial "Nano Particle" Silver poses a Threat to Marine Life?? Here is a VERY SIMPLE FACT: Up until 1960, "Millions of People a Day" Ate Food for more than "One Hundred Years" in all of the Civilized Nations throughout the World with "Silver Based" Silverware. And Yes, for over One Hundred Years the "Silver Based" Silverware that people Ate with Contained "ANTIMICROBIAL SILVER" which Emitted "Ionic Silver". For over One Hundred Years, Millions of People a Day Washed this "Silver Based" Silverware, and the Dish Water with the "Ionic Silver" in the Dish Water eventually made its way back into the Streams, Lakes, and Oceans. Show US ANY Evidence that over One Hundred Years of "Silver Based" Silverware being Dish Washed by Millions of People A Day had "Any Effect" of the "Aquatic Marine Life". Get Real. You Elitist Big Pharma Execs know what you are trying to do. This is a borderline "Eugenics" Move: very closely related to the same kind of Crap that Hitler tried to pull on their General Public. You are either trying to maintain your Big Pharma Profits by snuffing out a Product (Antimicrobial Silver) which is Superior to your Pharmaceuticals in many Medical Situations and Patient Conditions, or you are trying to carry on the Eugenics Program which would make you No Less Insane than Hitler and Himmler themselves! You ALL Should be Ashamed of yourselves. But, that's right, you are far to Greedy to even know what Shame is. Perhaps, you all have been hanging around the Ionic Silver and Ionic Gold in your Bank Vaults to long, and you are now suffering from the imaginary "Pesticide" Monster. February 24, 2009 - 01:00
Subject: Re: The Proof: Merck Foundation is Funding the Nano-Silver Pesticide EPA Bill (Non Profit Organization Petitioners)
We need Everyone to forward this posting to the EPA, and to your Congressmen. If you want to see what a Real Farce this Bogus EPA Nano-Silver Pesticide Bill is, just look at this page: Below are several of the Contributions made FROM the John Merck Foundation aka: (Merck Pharmaceuticals): TO the very SAME NON-PROFIT Organizations that have brought forth this Bogus Nano-Silver Pesticide EPA Bill. Top Grants Made Funding To Activist Groups -- Total Donated -- Time Frame On their web page, Look at the Table of “Top Grants Made” by the Merck Foundation (Merck Pharmaceuticals), and low and behold you will see some of THE VERY SAME BOGUS Non-Profit (Big Pharma Front) Organizations whom are receiving contributions directly from Merck: are the very same Petitioners for this EPA Nano-Silver Pesticide Bill. The Lie: Oh EPA, We are SO Worried about the Imaginary Nano-Silver “Pesticide Monster”. Please make sure you download the Merck Foundation web page (the proof of the EPA Scam via the Conduit of the Non Profit Organizations), and Save the Web Page before Merck makes it “Magically Disappear”. Now you can see how SICK these supposed Non Profit Organizations really are. Big Daddy Merck Foundation will most surely cut them off if they don’t try to help the Merck Foundation Eliminate the Competitive and in many cases More Effective Nano-Silver Products. Go ahead you Non-Profits, kiss Big Daddy Merck’s Fat Butt, and continue to LIE to the American People with your “Deceptive Magic”, your Fake Morality, and your False Goodness. You Non Profits are pushing forth Eugenics. The American People are Waking Up to your Lies including this EPA Nano-Silver Pesticide Scam Bill you put forth. Your days are numbered. Whom in their Right Mind would make a single Contribution to such Parasitic Organizations? Great Americans, we now have Proof of this EPA Nano-Silver “Pesticide” Scam. Now it is up to us to STOP IT.

Subject: Let
Seriously? Let's study our atmosphere and the supposed contrails (chemical plumes!) that are present most days if you care to look up once in a while. Let's talk about flouride in our water and products. Plastic Containers for food and drinks? bispenyl-A? Let's look into how wonderful soy really isn't and what it does to boys and girls? Let's talk about mercury, arsenic, lead, nuclear waste products.. factory farms... the ingredients in soap products... everything that is derived from petro chemicals... Vaccines??? How about irradiation of our foods? GMO foods.. 99% of processed food contains it and it's worse then you think... How about air pollution via cell phones and towers.. etc... How about supposed natural flavors in food products.. OH they are not natural.. do the research on splenda, aspartame, msg, high fructose... etc. How about pharmaceuticals in our water? And I could go on for hours and hours.. and the fact that is the world we live in is scary.. scarier than you or I truly know. And I believe it's intentional. There comes a point in time when it's not just business as usual... When accidents that happen over and over again are not minor missteps.. When incompetence is a cover for an agenda. They just don't know. BULL SHIP They know. When you ban real milk, real farms, healthy alternatives, and push for codex alimentarius, while saying there are too many people the agenda becomes clear. Our immune systems have been compromised and they don't want us to find cures. The already Global World Economy is going to be intentionally collapsed for an agenda.. and healthy, prosperous, sentient people are not invited to this fight. So effective silver products must be banned while GNC, Vitamin Shoppe snake oil will still be available. So do the research and start really scrutinizing everything you put in or near your bodies. If you don't know what it is stay away from it. We are being hit from every possible angle at a time when the unnamed real rulers of this world are planning big changes for you and I that we aren't going to like. That's why in the U.K. Guardian the military is predicting flash mobs. Now what would make Joe six pack do that? So don't wait until it IS BANNED. Buy what you need now.. Because it will be banned.. and you know why? Because it really works not harms. January 14, 2009 - 11:53
Subject: Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650
Dear Mr. Johnson, I write this as a concerned citizen in regard to the proposed ban on Colloidal Silver - Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650. I am allergic to antibiotics. I have many times needed to be treated for cellulitis (flesh eating bacteria) and the only treatment that has worked for me is to use colloidal silver. I hereby protest the proposal to ban collidal silver under any reasoning. Proper use should be taught and put on the labels, but to take it completely out of the public usage is unreasonable and dangerous to those of us wbleepedrely upon its use when it is needed. Please do not ban its use or production before proper evaluation is done. To ban it while the evaluation takes place would jeopardize many lives that depend upon its usage. January 12, 2009 - 01:49
Subject: Nanosilver causes ZERO harm to the environment
The hype put out by fake "consumer protection" groups that claim nanosilver (read: any form of silver with particles under 100 nm, which includes just about every brand of colloidal silver on the face of the earth) is dangerous to the environment has convinced a lot of folks that this is a real issue. Thankfully, it is not. Indeed, as soon as nanosilver hits the environment, it agglomerates with other minerals, salts and other substances in the environment, turning the tiny particles into large particle agglomerates. And within a very short period of time its "nano-scale" properties are completely done away with. What's more, the silver itself is rendered more or less inert, due to the multitude of substances that "glom" to it. January 10, 2009 - 02:49
Subject: Act Now to Help Save Colloidal Silver from EPA Regulation!
Act Now to Help Save Colloidal Silver from EPA Regulation! As of today, there are only 11 days left to voice your opposition to the proposal for the EPA to regulate nanosilver products -- including colloidal silver -- as "pesticides." As it stands, the main petition sponsor, the International Center For Technology Assessment (CTA) has drawn up a list of nanosilver products it claims needs to be regulated by EPA. 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 EPA's revised FIFRA regulations, which require you to prove your silver product causes no harm to beneficial microorganisms or other creatures in the environment. If the EPA begins to regulate colloidal silver as a "pesticide" under its revised FIFRA regulations, this will, in effect, unjustly put every colloidal silver manufacturer out of business. The costs of proving that a colloidal silver product causes no harm to �ecologically sensitive� microorganisms in the environment would be prohibitive (environmental impact reports can cost millions of dollars), and the regulatory burden on colloidal silver manufacturers would be unsustainable. EPA is taking public comments until January 20th, after which they will make their decision. Anyone wbleepedwants to post to the EPA comments system can do so at this web address: www.regulations.gov Anyone wishing to email EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson with their comments against the petition to have silver regulated as a �pesticide� can do so here: johnson.stephen@epa.gov Additionally, faxes can be sent to EPA, addressed to Administrator Stephen Johnson, at: Fax: 202-501-1450 All comments must reference Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0650. Also, comments should reference the �Petition for Rulemaking Requesting EPA Regulate Nanoscale Silver Products as Pesticides.� Regards, January 11, 2009 - 19:21
Subject: Nano silver? This is a tough decision!
I use Colloidal Silver and I think it is effective in many situations as an alternative health product. But product manufactures are grabbing the Nano technology and they are running with it full speed. They are making so many products with Nano silver that it could be a major threat to the environment. Does anyone need or want Nano Silver washing machines? Nano silver socks, bandages, children's toys and clothes? The list goes on and on. Can you imagine thousands of tons of silver dumped in the wastewater treatment plants, landfills, backyards and any other place people decide to throw the products away. silver can be toxic and never goes away. I don't want my Colloidal Silver taken away. I wish they would ban it from product manufacturing until studies are done. Please do not let the FDA study it as they are generally for the drug companies and manufacturers. Not for the public/ We need independent studies. This is only the tip of the iceberg, Nano technology is scarier than GMO! Leave a Comment
