I don't know what site you are looking at, but the EPA doesn't care anything about CS at all. They are concerned with silver in drinking water, and the site I saw of theirs several years ago said that silver metal had no toxicity limit. There was no mention of CS per se at all.
I have run across a dozen references that say that the 650 pathogens killed by CS was in an article in Science Digest, March 1978. If anyone can come up with this issue it might be worth seeing if that is correct. The article is titled "Our Mightiest Germ fighter". Here is what is claimed to be a quote from that article: Silver - Our Mightiest Germ Fighter, Science Digest, March 1978. As an antibiotic, Silver kills over 650 disease-causing organisms; resistant strains fail to develop. Silver is absolutely non-toxic. Silver is the best all around germ-fighter we have. Doctors are reporting that, taken internally, it works against syphilis, cholera and malaria, diabetes and severe burns. Richard L. Davies, executive director of the Silver Institute, which monitors Silver technology in 37 countries, reports: "In four years we've described 87 important new medical uses for Silver." http://www.ssmartco.com/dynamicforce/reference.html Marshall Marshall Ode Coyote wrote: > The EPA does not say that silver is absolutely non toxic..it says that the > toxic level is WAY beyond what we could possibly consume with CS water. > Ken > > At 08:42 AM 11/2/01 +0200, you wrote: > >Hi everyone! > > > >Just wondering .... has anyone come across the muchly touted > >650 "germs" destroyed (by CS) report from UCLA > >and the "no toxicity" listing from the EPA? > > > > > >Thanks muchly! > >Yvonne :o) > > > > > > > >-- > >The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver. > > > >To join or quit silver-list or silver-digest send an e-mail message to: > >silver-list-requ...@eskimo.com -or- silver-digest-requ...@eskimo.com > >with the word subscribe or unsubscribe in the SUBJECT line. > > > >To post, address your message to: silver-list@eskimo.com > >Silver-list archive: http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/index.html > >List maintainer: Mike Devour <mdev...@eskimo.com> > > > >
