A researcher at Brigham Young University sent colloidal silver to two different labs including the UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Larry C.

It also killed every virus to which it was subjected . . NOW THAT IS POWERFUL MEDICINE.

Quote Dr. Harry Margraf, a biochemist and pioneering silver research who worked for the late Carl Moyer, M.D., chairman of Washington University’s Department of Surgery "SILVER IS THE BEST ALL AROUND GERM FIGHTER WE HAVE"

According to the E.P.A.’S POISON CONTROL CENTER, colloidal silver is considered non-toxic and there is no recorded reaction with other medications.

OTHER BENEFITS OF COLLOIDAL SILVER Generally speaking colloidal silver helps promote rapid healing and subdue inflamation. It is a remedy for infections, even the non-apparent low grade general type. It can be taken internally for general prevention applied topically for rashes, burns, cuts and fungus infections, or sprayed into the ears, nose, throat and eyes for colds, allergies and other infections to those parts of the body.

We can not list all 650 diseases that colloidal silver is effective against but here is a list of some common ones: Common cold, stomach ulcers, acne, burns, shingles, arthritis, strep, tuberculosis, athlete’s foot, virus warts, tonsillitis, herpes virus, allergies etc. etc.

Colloidal Silver vs Pharmaceutical Antibiotics Interest in Colloidal Silver has increased most recently, probably because illness causing organisms do not seems to build up a resistance to Colloidal Silver the way they do to phamaceutical antibiotics. Antibiotics are becoming less effective as resistance to them grows.

The Los Angeles Times states "but in the last decade, a broad resistance to antibiotics has begun to emerge. And because bacteria can transfer genes among themselves, experts only expect the resistance to grow. The potential nightmare is an Andromeda strain, which is immune to all antibiotics and could wreak havoc. ("Arsenal of Antibiotics Failing as Resistant Bacteria Develop," October 23, 1994).

An ordinary antibiotic kills perhaps a half dozen different disease organisms, but Colloidal Silver is known to be successful against more than 650 illness-causing micro organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi) Colloidal Silver can be taken indefinitely because the body does not develop a tolerance to it.

How It works...

. . . Unlike phamaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enymes, Colloidal Silver leaves these tissue cell enymes intact. Thus, Colloidal Silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles and plants, and all living matter.

Ingesting Colloidal Silver...

. . .

It is impossible for germs to mutate into silver resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Also, Colloidal VOLUME 132 Complaint Silver cannot interact or interfere with other medicine being taken. Colloidal Silver is truly a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind's ills.

* * * Submitted by Bob Donan ([email protected]) on Thursday, June 25, 1998 I tried a small bottle of colloidal silver in spray form purchased at a local health food store and had such good results on jock VOLUME 132 Complaint itch. A co-worker of mine has sugar diabetes. He developed some ulcers on his lower leg and after a year of treatment with salves and pills his Dr. told him to get used to the sores and to keep them clean or they would get infected and he would loose his legs. I gave him a small spray bottle of colloidal silver. He sprayed his legs twice a day, after 3 days the red angry look of the sores subsided, By day 5 the sores dried up and scabs formed. Then came about 4 days of intense itching. By day 10 the scabs fell of during a shower. Another week of treatment and the pink skin under the scabs normalized. He is still diabetic,! still takes insulin, but his concern for amputation is relived, and he's grateful about that. So that’s my story, nothing earth shattering, but one person has been made very happy, and that’s a start.

Submitted by Erin ([email protected]) on Sunday, April 26, 1998:

Our 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease after a lengthy and baffling illness. She was put on oral antibiotics for several years with fairly good results (they knocked the symptoms down from 40 to 4 ) but, as soon as she got off of the antibiotics, all the symptoms would return. We heard about Colloidal Silver through a newsletter we subscribed to and decided to give it a try. Within 4 weeks there was a tremendous improvement and not long after that, all symptoms were gone! This was almost 3 years ago, she has just turned 14 and remains symptom free.

Submitted by Donna Thursday, August 6, 1998 I had contracted genital herpes a few years before I heard about Colloidal Silver. I would break out at least every 3 months, and along with a very painful lesion, experience low-grade fever and flu-like symptoms. I heard about Colloidal Silver through a VOLUME 132 Complaint friend, who told me it cured her sister's herpes of the eye. With nothing to lose, I bought a bottle from her. The next time I broke out with a lesion, I immediately started drinking 1 oz. every four hours. Within 24 hours, the sore was completely gone (usually it would take up to 3-4 weeks for a sore to go away). It seemed like a small miracle to me. I have not broken out since, and that was over 3 years ago. In fact, I consider myself cured of genital herpes. I don't understand why the medical profession does not know or let people know about the great benefits of Colloidal Silver. I am a firm believer. I keep colloidal silver around the house for anything that comes up, since I have four children.

Submitted by SHN ([email protected]) on Friday, August 28, Our cat occasionally tangles with the neighborhood cats, as cats will. My daughter brought it to my attention that one of his eyes seemed droopy as it was late I said I'd look in the morning, the following morning his eye had completely closed the lid was showing the conjunctive tissue beneath and was literally foaming a green pus and smelled nasty. I took him to the vet and was told he might lose the eye before the infection could be knocked down. He had been swatted in the face and a claw had penetrated through the lid and into the tissue to the side and rear of the eyeball. I had just months prior had one of those nasty abscesses surgically repaired as it would not heal, it had cost a mere $100. the vet said it would cost less to remove the eye than to fight the infection. My wife had come home with this new "stuff" she had been told was wonderful and would cure anything, something called colloidal silver. I figured it wouldn't hurt as he would lose the eye! anyway, I cleaned the area around the eye and opened the lids, putting two drops in allowed it to close and used my finger to gently rotate it, then opened it again and put two more drops in holding the lid up away from the eye then allowed it to close. the next morning I expected the infection to be larger, however the cat was up and staring at me with two eyes. granted the one was still "slightly swollen". I Was Sold!!!. I repeated the procedure and the eye the following morning was completely normal in appearance and the claw hole was closed! I repeated VOLUME 132 Complaint the procedure once more for general principles. I have since introduced more animal owners and friends to colloidal silver, Great "stuff".

Submitted by HAROLD G. ([email protected]) on Saturday, October 17, 1998 I have been using c s for about 2 ½ years. I have found it work well on a tremendous amount of ailments... My dog came down with a infection in his prostate. He was dripping blood from his penis. The doctor wanted to operate and remove the prostate. I took the dog home and gave him 2 tablespoons . The next morning the dog was fit as a fiddle. My family uses c s for any viral or bacterial infection that attacks them. At present most of the people I know are using colloidal silver. * * * C.M. from Iowa writes:

"I have a pet cat that started throwing up everything it ate. Upon taking it to a veterinarian, it was found to have swollen intestines and the foods couldn't pass through properly. So the vet gave me antibiotics which were supposed to help. He also said I would probably have to put it on steroids after using the antibiotics up. Steroids when used on cats cause feline leukemia. When the antibiotics were used up the cat was still throwing up frequently. So I started giving him some colloidal silver several times a day. Now he is getting better and rarely throws up after eating."

* * * Submitted by Barbara ([email protected]) I have used colloidal silver for many things, but my main use was on an Arabian gelding that I own. He had contracted a disease called EPM. I had taken him to a veterinarian that does VOLUME 132 Complaint acupuncture and uses a lot of homeopathy on horses as well as traditional veterinarian medicine. She had me put him on the colloidal silver. It has done wonders for him. He had severe muscle atrophy due to the EPM. Today, his muscles are almost back to normal in his croup and he has not regressed like many other horses in our area that I know have EPM. He has been off of it for about 6 months, but I still need a supply for him if needed. The regular vet that I use was against me using the colloidal silver, but I feel it really helped Knight fight the protozoa that attacks the horses spine and neurological system. * * * For More Articles On Animals, Go To More2 More3 More4 DISCLAIMER: The information contained herein has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

In addition to the representations detailed above, respondents have embedded specific disease references in the “metatags” of respondents’ Internet Web site, <www.colloidalsilver.net>. A metatag is a word or words embedded in an Internet Web site, which are not normally displayed visually to the consumer, that may be used by an Internet search engine for the purpose of selecting sites in response to an Internet user’s search request. References appearing only in the metatags and not in the Web pages displayed visually to the consumer include, among others, the following terms: “MS,” “cancer,” “HIV/AIDS,” and “candida.”

VOLUME 132 Complaint Respondents’ use of these metatag references increases the likelihood that consumers who research the terms “MS,” “cancer,” “HIV/AIDS,” and “candida” on the Internet will find information about Aaron’s products.

Colloidal Silver 6. Through the means described in Paragraph 4, respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that: A. Colloidal silver has been medically proven to kill over 650 disease-causing organisms in the body.

B. Colloidal silver successfully treats all known infections caused by disease-causing organisms, including germs, viruses, algae and fungus.

7. In truth and in fact, colloidal silver has not been medically proven to kill over 650 disease-causing organisms in the body and colloidal silver does not successfully treat all known infections caused by disease causing organisms. Therefore the representations set forth on Paragraph 6 were, and are, false and misleading.

8. Through the means described in Paragraphs 4 and 5, taken together, respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that:

A. Colloidal silver is effective in treating or curing cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, flu, candida, Lyme’s disease, psoriasis, the common cold, stomach ulcers, burns, arthritis, strep, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, herpes virus, virus warts, athlete’s foot, shingles, allergies and infections associated with diabetes.

B. Colloidal silver promotes healing and cures infections. VOLUME 132 Complaint C. Colloidal silver is superior to antibiotics in killing diseasecausing organisms.

D. Colloidal silver is safe for human consumption and has no side effects.

E. Colloidal silver is effective in treating various medical and health conditions in animals, including serious eye infection, prostate infection, and swollen intestine. 9. Through the means described in Paragraphs 4 and 5, taken together, respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that they possessed and relied upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representations set forth in Paragraph 8, at the time the representations were made.

10. In truth and in fact, respondents did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representations set forth in Paragraph 8 at the time the representations were made. For example, there is no competent and reliable scientific evidence that colloidal silver is effective in treating or curing cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, flu, candida, Lyme’s disease, psoriasis, the common cold, stomach ulcers, burns, arthritis, strep, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, herpes virus, virus warts, athlete’s foot, shingles, allergies and infections associated with diabetes or that colloidal silver is superior to antibiotics in killing disease causing organisms. In addition, the FDA issued a final rule, effective September 16, 1999, finding and establishing that all OTC drug products containing colloidal silver ingredients or silver salts for internal or external use are not generally recognized as safe and effective. Therefore, the representation set forth in Paragraph 9 was, and is, false or misleading. Chitosan 11. Through the means described in Paragraph 4 respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that use of the recommended daily dose of the Chitosan with vitamin C enables VOLUME 132 Complaint consumers to lose substantial weight without the need for a restricted calorie diet.

12. Through the means described in Paragraph 4, respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that they possessed and relied upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representation set forth in Paragraph 11, at the time the representation was made.

13. In truth and in fact, respondents did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representation set forth in Paragraph 11, at the time the representation was made. Therefore, the representation set forth in Paragraph 12 was, and is, false or misleading.

Ultimate Energizer 14. Through the means described in Paragraph 4 respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that the Ultimate Energizer, containing Mahuang, among other substances, is safe and has no side effects.

15. Through the means described in Paragraph 4, respondents have represented, expressly or by implication, that they possessed and relied upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representation set forth in Paragraph 14, at the time the representation was made.

16. In truth and in fact, respondents did not possess and rely upon a reasonable basis that substantiated the representation set forth in Paragraph 14, at the time the representation was made. Therefore, the representation set forth in Paragraph 15 was, and is, false or misleading.

17. The acts and practices of respondent as alleged in this complaint constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and the making of false advertisements, in or affecting commerce in VOLUME 132 Complaint violation of Sections 5(a) and 12 of the Federal Trade Commission Act.

THEREFORE, the Federal Trade Commission this thirtieth day of July, 2001, has issued this complaint against respondents. By the Commission.

[HAVE HAD NO COLDS FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS. Thank you COLLOIDAL SILVER"---Shirley This Product May Save Your Life THIS PRODUCT IS NOT NEW OR REVOLUTIONARY, BUT IT MAY BE THE ANSWER TO LIVING TO A RIPE OLD AGE--- DISEASE FREE!!! http://www.colloidalsilver.net/vitamins.htm 5/24/2000 Vitamins And More From Aaron Co. Colloidal Silver Specialists Page 4 of 5 PREVENTION, PREVENTION, PREVENTION Did you know that thousands of Americans die each year from infectious diseases which begin with the common cold. One teaspoon of colloidal silver a day may very well have prevented this from happening.

Most diseases in your body are caused by either germs, viruses, or fungi. Can you visualize each time a few germs begin to form in your body that millions upon millions of silver bullets are there, bombarding and killing them. Yes, colloidal silver develops within you, as a second immune system to help you combat the many disease producing germs which are present in our water, air, food and environment HISTORY OF SILVER To prevent spoilage, the Greeks and the Romans stored their food in silver urns. American pioneers trekking across the plains kept their drinking water free from bacteria, algae, etc. by placing silver nuggets and coins in their casks.

Silver was used in various forms as a medicine in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s to combat burns and infectious diseases because it was discovered to possess powerful germicidal properties with no known toxicity to humans.

WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER More effective than silver coins and nuggets is colloidal silver. The secret is that with modern day techniques, colloidal silver can be produced electrically by separating pure silver to form millions of microscopically small particles of silver suspended in pure de-ionized water. The result is a product that encapsulates and kills all forms of germs, immediately and effectively. MEDICAL PROOF OF EFFECTIVENESS First, be aware that the modern artificial antibiotics kill, on average 6 different disease causing organisms. A researcher at Brigham Young University sent colloidal silver to two different labs including the UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Larry C. Ford, of the School of Medicine made the startling discovery that within 6 minutes, of contact, colloidal silver killed over 650 different disease causing organisms. It also killed every virus to which it was subjected..NOW THAT IS POWERFUL MEDICINE.

OTHER BENEFITS OF COLLOIDAL SILVER Generally speaking colloidal silver helps promote rapid healing and subdue inflamation. It is a http://www. colloidalsilver.net/vitamins.htm 5/24/2000 Vitamins And More From Aaron Co. Colloidal Silver Specialists Page 5 of 5 remedy for infections, even the non-apparent low grade general type. It can be taken internally for general prevention applied topically for rashes, burns, cuts and fungus infections, or sprayed into the ears, nose, throat and eyes for colds, allergies and other infections to those parts of the body. We can not list all 650 diseases that colloidal silver is effective against but here is a list of some common ones: Common cold, stomach ulcers, acne, burns, shingles, arthritis, strep, tuberculosis, athlete’s foot, virus warts, tonsillitis, herpes virus, allergies etc. etc. TESTIMONY----I spend February, March and April in Las Vegas. During that time of the year the pollen count sometimes is so high that it goes beyond the readable level. The only way that I was able to control the watering eyes, the sneezing and the sleepless nights was to use prescription antihistamine drugs. This went on for years until my urologist told me that if I continued using these drugs it would assure me of prostate problems. I began spraying my nose with colloidal silver and within a week my allergies were under control. ---Mario THE REST IS UP TO YOU The most important part of this advertisement is how you respond to it.

Below are stories submitted to our bulletin board by people using colloidal silver. I had severe sinus infection, and internal candida which turned to a Mycopal Fungus in all my organs and got so sick from different chemos and antibiotics that I almost died. My Immune system crashed, and I became allergic to EVERYTHING including breathing the Air. A Friend of mine who is an Animal MD told me of Colloidal Silver. In one weeks time my infections cleared up and all the fungus and candida was gone within 3 weeks. I am no longer with the enviromental allergies. I used to use it every day..and since I stopped, I came down with Pnemonia. There is a kill off reaction that I thought I could avoid by only using it when I was feeling some bug trying to get me. I am since back to it every day in emergency doses, and will take daily doses for prevention from now on! I have used it for my animals, including a chicken who was so ripped up by a coyote, that her whole left side was nearly gone. She became infected and I used it topically as well as orally on her...she recovered..and grew back all her left side including feathers and her tail! I could go on now but it will take so much space! I use it every time my sinus feels stuffed in a mixture of sea salt water in an atomizer. I use it for feminine use. I have used it in my eyes, and my friends children no longer catch everything the other kids on maintaince doses....My animals, cats, and chickens no longer ever get sick. I have used it to prevent infection in snakes and lizards, in birds and mice. I have used it to prevent bacterial contamination from foods, and spray it as a cleaner on my cutting boards and countertops. I guess you can say I sware by it an do recommend it to everyone I know. I am looking for a site to send my friends from a BBS to that tells all about it, from medical points of view not only testimonial...could you refer me to a home page for that! I used to know one but just cannot find it!!! God Bless All of You...Jessy-Lee Jessica Anne Lee Paulden, Az USA - Sunday, February 15, 1998 at 19:11:32 (PST) Robert B. Harlow writes:

How It works...

The presence of Colloidal Silver near a virus fungi, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its5 1 16 1 2 9 1648 2459 215 39 96.164795 chemicals 1 16 1 2 10 1880 2460 150 51 96.073250 lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems. Unlike phamaceutical antibiotics which destroy beneficial enymes, Colloidal Silver leaves these tissue cell enymes intact. Thus, Colloidal Silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles and plants, and all living matter.

Ingesting Colloidal Silver...

http://www. colloidalsilver.net/staph_infections.htm Exhibit 3 $/3/2000 Colloidal Silver For The Treatment Of Staph Infections Page 2 of 2 Taken orally, the silver solution is absorbed from the mouth into the bloodstream, then transported quickly to the body cells. Swishing the solution under the tongue briefly before swallowing ensures fast absorption. In three to four days the silver will have accumulated in the tissues sufficiently for benefits to begin. Since Colloidal Silver is eliminated by the kidneys, lymph systems and bowel after three weeks, a regular daily intake is recommended as a protection against dangerous pathogens.

It is impossible for germs to mutate into silver resistant forms, as happens with conventional antibiotics. Also Colloidal Silver cannot interact or interfere with other medicine being taken. Colloidal Silver is truly a safe, natural remedy for many of mankind's ills.

Our Colloidal Silver is produced by the electro-colloidal, non chemical method where silver particles and water have been colloided, i.e. dispersed within the bound to each other by an electrical current. The 99.99% pure super-fine silver are suspended indefinitely in demineralized water.

Below are stories written into the bulletin board by people using colloidal silver. By Molly C.

A little over a year ago, my mother had a mini-van run over her ankle. It was badly bruised and swollen so she iced it and did what the doctors told her to do. For an entire year, after a full day of walking around, her ankle would be swollen like a balloon and a disgusting purple color covered the entire outside of her foot. She had it checked out and the doc said it was dead scar tissue that had to be removed. She didn’t have the money for surgery since it was considered cosmetic so | told her about colloidal silver so she gave it a shot. She went away for the weekend with her supply of CS and when she came home, she was literally as excited as a 5-year old on Christmas. “Look at my ankle!” She kept saying. The discoloration had almost completely subsided and she was no longer in pain. Submitted by Kim Scaramastro ([email protected]) on Monday, August 24, 1998 My husband had developed several carbuncles on his back close to his spine, which are very dangerous. We found that applying silver twice a day, completely penetrates the skin and neutralizes the poisons below the skin. The same happens with boils. Submitted by ([email protected]) Since all deodorants contain aluminum, | started using Colloidal Silver about a year ago as an underarm deodorant. It works great! | poor a little bit in my hand, rub my hands together and rub it under my arms.

The thought occurred to me that BO was caused by bacteria, and since colloidal silver killed them why not try it as a deodorant, so I did. What | did was to take a cotton pad and wipe silver water on each arm pit. It worked well, but my undershirt got just a small smell of BO, so | next tried wiping the silver water on the undershirt and file://A:\www.colloidalsilver.net\skin infections.htm ae 1/4/2001 ~ Fxhihit.4 Colloidal Silver For The Treatment Of Skin Infections Page 2 of 3 outer shirt also. It worked super well, at night no odor! One day | shoveled 4 tons on gravel onto my driveway in 80 deg. weather and sweat like you would imagine. That night no odor multivitamin, Echinacea drops, and occasionally garlic and a few other minerals or vitamins. So | put the drop in my viral load solely down to the CS. I'm due to go for another count soon so I'll keep you informed. | am one of those people who will not put chemicals into my body if | can help it so | certainly hope that the CS will be my answer.

After examining it we decided it was a “Brown Recluse” and tried to catch it but it got away. The following morning | awoke with a very large burning, itching and swollen bite. It must have climbed onto my skirt and | carried it home. The bite was the size of a half dollar and marked with a 5 1 4 1 4 18 1666 866 191 40 33.812492 Bulls-eye”5 1 4 1 4 19 1872 868 138 39 96.029884 design.5 1 4 1 4 20 2027 869 74 31 96.664391 Thea 1 4 1

My body is clear for the 1st time in over ten years. Thank God, literally, for colloidal silver. TROY WATSON Submitted by Bob Donan ([email protected]) on Thursday, June 25, 1998 | tried a small bottle of colloidal silver in spray form purchased at a local health food store and had such good results on jock itch. A co-worker of mine has sugar diabetes. He developed some ulcers on his lower leg and after a year of treatment with salves and pills his Dr. told him to get used to the sores and to keep them clean or they would get infected and he would loose his legs. | gave him a small spray bottle of colloidal silver. He sprayed his legs twice a day, after 3 days the red angry took of the sores subsided, By day 5 the sores dried up and scabs formed. Then came about 4 days of intense itching. By day 10 the scabs fell of during a shower. Another week of treatment and the pink skin under the scabs normalized. He is still diabetic,! still takes insulin, but his concern for amputation is relived, and he's grateful about that. So that’s my story, nothing earth shattering, but one person has been made very happy, and that’s a start.

“| was plagued with a skin infection for at least 10 years. It appeared as a rash on my chest and the back side of my neck. After many visits to the doctor with no cure, | went to the dermotologists who quickly identified it as a bacterial infection. 1! was given 4 different costly prescriptions through the years which would temporary clear it up but only to come back within days. Finally after talking to a friend, he recomended Colloidal Silver. After reading about this miracle stuff, | bought a small bottle of 5 ppm and began to take small doses orally.

Below are stories written into the bulletin board by people using colloidal silver. Submitted by Erin ([email protected]) on Sunday, April 26, 1998: Our 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease after a lengthy and baffling illness. She was put on oral antibiotics for several years with fairly good results (they knocked the symptoms down from 40 to 4 ) but, as soon as she got off of the antibiotics, all the symptoms would return. We heard about Colloidial Silver through a newsletter we subscribed to and decided to give it a try. Within 4 weeks there was a tremendous improvement and not long after that, all symptoms were gone! This was almost ' 3 years ago, she has just turned 14 and remains symptom free. Edward W. Robinson writes:

“After a year of treatment with antibiotics for Lyme Disease, my doctor recommended the use of colloidal silver. Daily dosages of colloidal silver over a six month period lessened the Lyme symptoms greatly.”

Submitted by SHN ([email protected]) on Friday, August 28, 1998 Our cat occasionally tangles with the neighborhood cats, as cats will. My daughter brought it to my attention that one of his eyes seemed droopy as it was late | said I'd look in the morning, the following morning his eye had completely closed the lid was showing the conjunctive tissue beneath and was literally foaming a green pus and smelled nasty. | took him to the vet and was told he might lose the eye before the infection could be knocked down. He had been swatted in the face and a claw had penetrated through the lid and into the tissue to the side and rear of the eyeball. | had just months prior had one of those nasty abscesses surgically repaired as it would not heal, it had cost a mere $100. the vet said it would cost less to remove the eye than to fight the infection. My wife had come home with this new stuff she had been told was wonderful and would cure anything, something called colloidal silver. ! figured it wouldn't hurt as he would lose the eye! anyway, | cleaned the area around the eye and opened the lids, putting two drops in allowed it to close and used my finger to gently rotate it, then opened it again and put two more drops in holding the lid up away from the eye then allowed it to close. the next morning | expected the infection to be larger, however the cat was up and staring at me with two eyes. granted the one was still “slightly swollen”. | Was Sold!!!. | repeated the procedure and the eye the following morning was completely normal in appearance and the claw hole was closed! | repeated the procedure once more for general principles. | have since introduced more animal owners and friends to colloidal silver, Great “stuff”. Submitted by HAROLD G. ([email protected]) on Saturday, October 17, 1998 | have been using cs for about 2 % years. | have found it work well on a tremendous amount of ailments... My dog came down with a infection in his prostate. He was dripping blood from his penis. The doctor wanted to operate and remove the prostate. | took the dog home and gave him 2 tablespoons . The next morning the dog was fit as a fiddle. My family uses c s for any viral or bacterial infection that attacks them. At present most of the people | know are using colloidal silver. Submitted by Lanny Miller <[email protected]> on June 14, 1998: file://A:\www.colloidalsilver.net\animals.htm 1/4/2001 Exhibit 7 Colloidal Silver For The Treatment Of Animals Page 2 of 4 wv | believe my 8 month old dog had Parvo. She was paralyzed in her hindquarters and was having painful bowel movements. It was late Sat night 6/13 when | noticed the symptoms. After searching the net | realized the vets treatment was only 10% successful. | called the only one that would answer the phone so late at night and he had never heard of colloidal silver. He advised Pepto-bismol and bring her in tomorrow.

Not wanting to lose the time advantage | had, | took matters into my own hands and went to the all night grocery store and bought a disposable douche, emptied it, and gave her 8 oz strong colloidal silver rectal and about 4 oz orally. Within a couple hours she could stand for brief periods. The next morning she was walking, and by this afternoon, she is running all over. She is not completely cured yet, | plan to give her 4 oz a day (orally) for a couple more days. (I tried another 8 oz rectal this morning, but she was so much stronger, she put up a fight that two of us had trouble trying. Hope | didn't mess up by not insisting) This same dog has had ringworm cured in one day and some fungus type thing under her left eye needs monthly treatment of colloidal silver or she loses her hair on her face. (she's part sharpe’ and chow) She is very lucky | learned about this (colloidal silver) just prior to getting her. | don't think she would have made the night last night.

I'll report the final outcome later. | would like to have her stool sample analyzed to see if it was actually parvo. If it was, the 90% mortality rate may be just plain IGNORANCE! C.M. from lowa writes:

“| have a pet cat that started throwing up everything it ate. Upon taking it to a veterinarian, it was found to have swollen intestines and the foods couldn't pass through properly. So the vet gave me antibiotics which were supposed to help. He also said | would probably have to put it on steroids after using the antibiotics up. Steroids when used on cats cause feline leukemia. When the antibiotics were used up the cat was still throwing up frequently. So | started giving him some colloidal silver several times a day. Now he is getting better and rarely throws up after eating.” Submitted by Linda M. Alexander ([email protected]) on April 16, 1998: | have had many wonderful experiences with colloidal silver. Here are just a few.. My friend's dog had annoying skin lesions that the vet could not seem to eliminate or control. He was about to prescribe steroids, when she decided to try the silver. She sprayed it on the lesions, and put it in the dog's water, and now he is nearly clear of the problem. | could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the idea that | am totally sold on colloidal silver. | honestly believe that no household should be without one, and that it is the most useful yet harmless wellness apparatus available today.

From: Heather Hill, ([email protected]) I raise show cats and one of my females had ended up with a cold! Not knowing better she sneezed and coughed all over her five wee kittens. Three out of five kittens developed runny eyes and sneezing. I called the vet right away and had them put on moxilean5 1 3 1 3 16 1866 614 78 34 93.295502 ands 1 3 1 3 17 1959 614 246 45 92.177612 vetroplycin4 1 3 1 4 0 181 664 2026 48 -1 5 1 3 1 4 1 181 664 189 35 96.520317 ointments 1 3 1 4 2 385 664 63 35 96.446213 for5 1 3 1 4 3 463 665 65 35 96.545746 thes 1 3 1 4 4 544 665 128 45 57.313934 eyes. A few days passed and the mom and two of the kittens seemed to clear but I had one kitten that really concerned me. The area was very swollen and there was no sign of an eye! I called the vet again and he met me as an emergency after hours. He took one look and was alarmed! He to was not sure if the eye had ruptured as there was nothing but white swollen tissue. We figured the kitten was blind. I was to take him to a specialist the next day to see what might be done. I came home and remembered that a friend had mentioned this stuff called colloidal silver would likely help his eye, I had nothing to lose at this point so I called him up. I began that night with the applications. I had at this time taken the wee kitten off all vet medications. I bathed the area, put a drop on and did my best to work it in.I also put a few drops in the mouth for good measure. I repeated this everyday. It has been 6 days now and I have seen a positive change everyday since I began with the silver. There is definitly and eye and he is now able to see from it! The swelling is almost completely gone. Amazing! Thank you so much Heather. From: Maggie, ([email protected]) I have a pet sitting service and I believe in the natural way of healing whenever possible...my vet was amazed to see several of my successes--one with a badly scratched eye in a cat that healed so quickly he couldnt believe due to my use of c.s., two the rapidly healing of wounds in both dogs and cats when c.s. is applied and most significantly the prolonged well-being of a 21 year old cat with progressive kidney failure...with the use of c.s. internally he remained healthy enough to avoid many of the traumatic taditional treatments for this disease and interestingly enough and lending to greater belief in this by the vet, he had another client in the same situation with the same results...it is not only healthy, I believe, it works better than traditional prescribed synthetic drugs in many cases...and this is all because J was urged to try it for chronic Lyme disease and the many autoimmune diseases I encountered because the Lyme went undiagnosed for two years...I send my clients, friends and family to this website but would like to be able to have a comprehensive text to provide these same people especially as many still do not have access to the web.... Submitted by Barbara ([email protected]) I have used colloidal silver for many things, but my main use was on an Arabian gelding that I own. He had contracted a disease called EPM. I had taken him to a veterinarian that does acupuncture and uses a lot of homeopathy on horses as well as traditional veterinarian medicine. She had me put him on the colloidal silver. It has done wonders for him. He had severe muscle atrophy due to the EPM. Today, his muscles are almost back to normal in his croup and he has not regressed like many other horses in our area that I know have EPM. He has been off of it for about 6 months, but I still need a supply for him if needed.

I've used colloidal silver (5 ppm)his on my cat and it's helped him. The first time he had several daily unexplained bleeding nasal bleeds. We took him to the vet and that was costly. No explanation. So I tried the silver. My neighbor told me that she knew someone who had healed a skin cancer on a cat. I told a friend in Southern California about it and she's using it on her cat. A rash immediately healed up. I am just learning about the value of colloidal silver and am looking for all the information I can glean. I'm also thinking that in the near future I may start generating my own as in the end it will cost much less.

VOLUME 132 Analysis Analysis of Proposed Consent Order to Aid Public Comment The Federal Trade Commission has accepted an agreement, subject to final approval, to a proposed consent order from Robert M. Spencer and Lisa Spencer, d/b/a/ Aaron Company ("proposed respondents"). Proposed respondents marketed "Colloidal Silver," a dietary supplement allegedly containing submicroscopic particles of silver that was intended to be taken orally for the cure and treatment of more than 650 diseases. In addition, proposed respondents marketed other dietary supplements, including Chitosan with vitamin C for substantial weight loss without a restricted calorie diet, and Ultimate Energizer as a stimulant and energizer claiming it was safe with no side effects. The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for reception of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement and take other appropriate action or make final the agreement's proposed order.

The Commission's complaint charges that proposed respondents made false claims that their Colloidal Silver product had been (1) medically proven to kill over 650 disease-causing organisms in the body; and (2) successfully used to treat all known infections. The Commission's complaint also charges that proposed respondents failed to have a reasonable basis for claims they made about the Colloidal Silver product's (1) efficacy in treating and curing cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, and other specific illnesses; (2) superiority to antibiotics in healing and curing infections; (3) safety for human consumption without side effects; and (4) superiority in treating various medical and health problems in animals. Proposed respondents have also been charged with failing to have a reasonable basis for claims they made about the efficacy of their Chitosan with vitamin C product, the safety claims for their Ultimate Energizer product containing Mahuang, and other substances. Such claims, promoting dietary VOLUME 132 Analysis supplements, appeared on the website that proposed respondents produced or caused to be produced.

Part I of the consent order prohibits proposed respondents from misrepresenting, including by means of metatags, any claims that Colloidal Silver or any service, program, dietary supplement, food, drug, or device, has been medically proven to kill diseasecausing organisms or any number of infections in the body. Part II of the order requires competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate representations that Colloidal Silver or any covered product (1) treats and cures cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, and other specific illnesses; (2) is superior to antibiotics in healing and curing infections; (3) is safe for human consumption and has no side effects; (4) treats various medical and health problems in animals; and (5) enables consumers to lose substantial weight without the need for a restricted diet. Part III of the order prohibits proposed respondents from misrepresenting, including by means of metatags, the existence, contents or interpretation of any test, study, or research. Part V of the order requires that for any future advertisement of products containing ephedra or ephedrine, proposed respondents must include affirmative warnings concerning safety issues. This warning was developed after discussions with the Food and Drug Administration. FDA has announced that it intends to initiate a rulemaking for dietary supplements for women who are or who may become pregnant. In the event that FDA issues a final rule requiring a warning for pregnant women on dietary supplements, respondents may substitute that warning for the disclosure on that topic required under the proposed order. Part IV of the proposed order permits proposed respondents to make certain claims for drugs or dietary supplements, respectively, that are permitted in labeling under laws and/or regulations administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The remainder of the proposed order contains standard requirements that proposed respondents maintain advertising and any materials relied upon as substantiation for any representation covered by substantiation requirements under the order; distribute copies of the order to certain company officials and employees; VOLUME 132 Analysis notify the Commission of any change in the business entity that may affect compliance obligations under the order; and file one or more reports detailing their compliance with the order. Part XII of the proposed order is a provision whereby the order, absent certain circumstances, terminates twenty years from the date of issuance. This proposed order, if issued in final form, will resolve the claims alleged in the complaint against the named respondents. It is not the Commission's intent that acceptance of this consent agreement and issuance of a final decision and order will release any claims against any unnamed persons or entities associated with the conduct described in the complaint. The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed order, and is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the agreement and proposed order or to modify in any way their terms.
