EPA has safely regulated nanosilver for decades

 


(Nanowerk News) The Silver Nanotechnology Working Group (SNWG), an industry effort intended to foster the collection of data on silver and nanotechnology in order to advance the science and public understanding of the beneficial uses of silver nanoparticles in a wide-range of consumer and industrial products, made a detailed presentation to the recent EPA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) meeting to discuss the topic "Evaluation of Hazard and Exposure Associated with Nanosilver and Other Nanometal Oxide Pesticide Products (Arlington VA, November 3-6, 2009). Key conclusions from the presented analysis include:

Nanosilver: Over 100 years old

Nanosilver is not a new material. The assumption of nanosilver being a new material with fears of new properties and new unknown hazards is at the heart of both regulatory and many popular perceptions about nanosilver. However, contrary to assumptions of newness, nanosilver materials are old and have been well known throughout the ages. Indeed, nanosilver has been rationally manufactured and used commercially for over a century.

Many different terminologies have been used throughout scientific history to describe ultra-small silver particles including "colloidal silver", "millimicron silver" and among other terms the current "nanosilver" terminology. Accordingly, while the term “nanosilver” is new, the technology it represents is not.

The SNWG provided the SAP meeting with a detailed historical and technical analysis that demonstrated that these materials have a long established commercial history as engineered particles of nanoscale size.¹ Despite changes in terminology, the underlying material being described is in fact the same that has been used for decades. i.e. nanoscale silver.

EPA has a long history of safely regulating nanosilver

The EPA has been safely and successfully regulating nanosilver products for decades. These products have been used in a wide range of consumer applications such as swimming pool treatments and drinking water filters with an established record under FIFRA of regulated and safe use dating as far back as the 1950’s.

A detailed look at the depth of history of silver within the EPA shows that the toxicological studies that form the basis of the EPA’s general hazard limits for silver derive from historical data from nanoscale silver materials and not ‘conventional (bulk) silver’ as is often mistakenly assumed.

A careful examination of the EPA public registration database (NPIRS Public) for silver over a period of 6 decades reveals:

·  The very first registered silver product was a colloidal nanosilver algaecide product that has been safely used by millions of consumers for over 50 years (registered since 1954).

·  Every EPA silver registration between 1970 and 1990 was either a colloidal nanosilver or nanosilver-composite product.

·  The very first NON-nanosilver product registered by EPA was not registered until 1994.

·  An overall analysis reveals that today over 50% of all EPA registered silver products are in fact based on nanoscale silver.

Regulatory Relevance

EPA has a range of existing regulatory structures that have successfully addressed silver materials across the size spectrum for over 5 decades. Throughout this period, the EPA has not recorded any incidents of significance on the Agency’s formal incident reporting database (EPA OPP IDS) – indicating that thorough monitoring of real-life use supports the safety of these products.

The EPA should be congratulated for this record of successful monitoring and risk management for these materials despite different terminologies being used throughout this period of time.

Indeed, given that with nanosilver there is perhaps more historical data and evidence of safe use than for many other regulated materials, EPA has the opportunity to assess nanosilver products with confidence given this long history of safe use under existing EPA regulations.

The following themes are vital for consideration of an informed regulatory approach:

Nanosilver is NOT a new material - EPA needs to look beyond general conceptions of nano terminology and consider the broader established regulatory record of nanoscale silver products within the Agency.

Nanosilvers have seen decades of safe use in real-life - Given the long history of safe use for EPA-registered nanoscale silver products (stretching back as far as 1954) calls for treatment of nanosilver as a new material requiring development of expensive new test regimes and discriminatory regulatory consideration are difficult to justify.

MRSA Victims; Breakthrough Found

Most people are unaware that MRSA kills more people in the USA than does AIDS/HIV! And the problem seems to be getting worse.  For those of you who have MRSA, you are running out of antibiotic options.  Methicillin and Vancomycin are no longer effective in killing the MRSA bacteria. Medical Science is desperately seeking a replacement for antibiotic that no longer have any effect on these mutated bacterium.

According to the FDA “Jan. 2, 2008 -- The FDA today announced that it has cleared for marketing the first rapid blood test for MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a drug-resistant staph bacterium that can cause deadly infections.

The new MRSA blood test -- called the BD GeneOhm StaphSR assay -- delivers results in two hours. Other tests take several days.

"The BD GeneOhm test is good news for the public health community," the FDA's Daniel Schultz, MD, says in a news release. The new test allows for "more effective diagnosis and treatment," says Schultz, who directs the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Here is the problem; a patient gets a staph infection and is routinely treated with Methicillin. All but a few bacteria are killed.  Only the bacterium that is resistant to Methicillin survives and grows. When Methicillin is applied again to the remaining bacteria, the staph infection no longer reacts to the antibiotic so the victim continues to suffer. The infection spreads and the only remaining course of action is to cut the infected parts out of the victim’s body.  Death often occurs.

In July, 2009, Beneficial Solutions, LLC hired BioScience Labs of Bozeman, Montana to conduct independent tests on this new product to demonstrate how MRSA is affected by this natural mineral. Conducted under strict FDA-certified Lab guidance, the test results were astonishing. BioScience Labs took 1.33 billion cells of MRSA in vitro and placed one drop of this product into the lab dish; within 60 seconds, a 99.9999% (the limit of the test) kill rate was achieved.  Imagine, the most sophisticated (and most expensive) antibiotics failed to have any affect on MRSA, yet this new natural mineral product killed virtually all of the MRSA cells in one minute!

The most exciting part is that this product is not a drug or chemical; it is a natural mineral that was created by a physicist who went on to win the Nobel Prize. And the cost is unbelievably low. This exciting product can be taken both orally and used topically on the MRSA boils.  Most MRSA victims will see dramatic reductions in symptoms in a few short days and within a few weeks, the MRSA apparently is killed.

For more information, you can visit the web site and read how people are conquering their MRSA safely and inexpensively. You do not need to suffer any longer.  This product even comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Find out how you can get MRSA out of your life once and for all.

 

My Six Years of Suffering Morgellons is Over

  Shannon November, 2009

“I have suffered from Morgellons disease for more than 6 years. I have recently
(within the last 2 years) discovered that it was Morgellons that I was suffering
from with the help of some family members, a few news shows and the INTERNET!
Otherwise, I would have never known what was causing my illness — believe me, I
have been to countless doctors, neurologist, dermatologist, etc. and none could
explain the lesions, brain fog, body aches, lack of energy and depression I was
severely suffering from.”

“I finally found NutraSilver® on a testimonial video on U-Tube. I was amazed and
deeply affected by the woman in the video because all of her symptoms were
identical to mine so, I decided to purchase the product to see if it would help
me as much as it did her!!! And to my amazement it has been a BLESSING to me.
I am not CURED of this disease and until the medical establishment recognizes it
as an official disease, I doubt we will ever find a cure — HOWEVER, the
NutraSilver® has GREATLY improved my symptoms and allowed me to live my life in
a manner that I never thought I could prior to taking this treatment!”

“Prior to NutraSilver®, my lesions were so severe I would not leave my house and
became deeply depressed. I have a teenage daughter and I had so many lesions and
bleeding that I never could participate in any of her school functions. Since I
have been taking NutraSilver®, my lesions have cleared, I have more energy to do
activities and the brain fog I suffered severely from has lifted!
I do still
get minor lesion break-outs about once a month but very manageable and I feel I
can go out in public and not have people stare at me, as before. I feel I can
think better and more clearly because of my NutraSilver® regiment and because the
lesions have cleared I am no longer deeply depressed and ‘caged’ in my house.
I wore short sleeved shirts and shorts for the first time in 6 years this past
summer, I took a camping trip with my husband and daughter, and plan to attend
my daughter’s graduation this spring."

“I cannot express in words how this product has deeply impacted my life and
quality of living. I recommend anyone with this disease try it! It takes a
while for the product to begin working (about a month of usage before you see
dramatic results) and you MUST stay on the product. The price has been an issue
at times but, I cannot put a price on how much my life has changed because of
it so, I continue to be an avid supporter of it and purchase it every month
(8 bottles per month is about what I go through). I hope this blog touches many
others out there that suffer from this disease and I hope that the medical
establishment recognizes this as a disease soon and begins to provide more
support for sufferers — like including NutraSilver® as an approved treatment
so that medical plans will cover some of the cost of the product!!!"

How NutraSilver Changed My Life and Eliminated Blindness!

  By Dr. Joseph Quattrone, Morgellons sufferer January, 2010

My story is just like many others who have been affected by this horrible disease. Starting in 2003 I saw different doctors for some non-healing lesions on my face and chin. The diagnosis was always the same; I was causing these lesions by neurotically picking at my face. I knew that there was more going on but couldn’t get any one to help me. I even brought pathology specimens to my doctor visits but they were ignored just like everything else was.

I am a Podiatrist by trade and have extensive training in medicine and pathology. I scoured the internet to try to find a possible reason for these non-healing lesions. Early on at the beginning of the new millennium there was very little about Morgellons disease mentioned on the internet. The information that was available was very sketchy and was almost always linked to underlying psychological problems. No one had anything useful to say about possible treatments until the last couple of years. It wasn’t until late summer of 2009 that I read a “comment” to a You Tube video about NutraSilver being a savior!

Check this out; my cat of nearly 17 years went completely blind (I suspect from diabetes and secondary glaucoma) but four days after putting 5 drops of NutraSilver in her wet food she immediately could see once again and seem to also attribute to her energy levels! She was not running into the furniture at all and absolutely needed no assistance with getting in her sleep area! Its’ bright light at this time with little else out there, ranks up there with penicillin and other anti-pathogens!

As I see it NutraSilver is keeping the spread of Morgellons to a stand-still but it is not killing the pathogen completely. There is another side of this positive position that we have on Morgellons and its victims and that is the sense of real of hope again. NutraSilver is the single most reason that I can continue with rebuilding my life.

I still struggle with some very strong bouts of fatigue, but I have a seriously good hold on 75% of my life!

Thanks for the support,
Sincerely,

Dr. Joseph Quattrone, D.P.M.

Morgellons: Why You MUST Continue To Take NutraSilver®

Having your wallet emptied by MD’s, Pharmacists and others is no fun. You are exhausted financially and personally. It seems that no one believes you have a real debilitating disease yet most people are quick to agree with the Doctor; you are delusional. YOU know you are ill with a disease. And then you discover NutraSilver®.

Being skeptical, many have purchased the ‘buy 2 and get 1 free’ special just to try NutraSilver® to see if they can get some relief. People do get remarkable relief in a couple of weeks; most symptoms are either dramatically reduced or gone. They think they may be cured so they do not re-order and stop taking NutraSilver®.

In a week or so the symptoms return and they conclude that NutraSilver® only provides short-term temporary relief so they give up again and the depression returns. What went wrong?

NutraSilver® IS NOT A CURE! It does relieve the symptoms while you take it, but when you stop, the symptoms return. Perhaps your environment has infected you once again? What is the answer and why do thousands of people report that taking NutraSilver® gives them their lives back?

WE WANT YOU TO HEAL AND GET YOUR LIFE BACK! REORDER NOW SO YOU DO NOT RUN OUT OF NutraSilver®
