Catherine:

You're right, the website doesn't say anything about the FDA (but the EPA is
close, isn't it??). I was looking on a vendor's (of ASAP)  site and it
stated the following:

"According to the manufacturer, it has also been approved as an antibiotic
in several other countries and is the only silver solution product of this
type that has been able to be filed with the FDA for drug approval. The
manufacturer has already received approval by the FDA to begin testing of
the product in both animals and humans. Note that while the ASAP Solution®
has received approval by the FDA to begin testing, this does not mean that
the FDA will eventually approve this product as an effective antibiotic.
Hence, for now, the ASAP Solution® is not intended to treat, cure or prevent
any disease.  Note too that the FDA and government have not evaluated
statements on this website (to the best of our knowledge)"

Again- I personally know nothing about these companies, but I find it at
least cautiously optimistic that at least some form of a governmental
organization is acknowledging their products potential benefits.

I guess you ought to start somewhere.

What actually is the process for FDA approval? Do you feel the powers at be
will ever allow a CS type solution be approved?
