But the reason is probably not because the study is not valid.... [note double negatives] ie: the study is valid but BYU is taking a lot of heat with everyone referring to it out of its true context as a 'test tube' study using it as proof of their claims of 'in body' disease cures whereas it's not "proof" of THOSE claims but could be construed as an 'indication' that claims of cures 'might be' at least be 'somewhat' valid. Or....The mechanism works without fail [every "exposed" organism dies] but delivery in a more complicated system than a dish of water can be problematic and those that claim that x absolutely equals y don't consider a major difference in environments. Testimonials of CS users overwhelmingly support the claims but still don't stand as "proof" of effectiveness and some people report no effect without considering delivery methods.

"Kills x organizms" doesn't mean 'cures y diseases'...it only indicates a variable probablility. But huckster don't bother to point out the difference any more than officialdom points out differences between mega doses of silver compounds and Bredig Sol CS.

All the 'official' studies are intent on killing the guinea pig...not curing it. [And have difficulties doing so at that.] The BYU studies are intent on killing microbes [And have no problem at all doing that]...not curing people.

I'll agree that a few grams of silver compounded with gunpowder, delivered all at once, can definitely kill a pig.
 so..silver is a deadly element?
That silver is many many times more deadly to microbes than it is to mammals is a well established fact known and proven for decades.

 Now, the reactionaries are going after the arsenic in treated wood.
No one mentions that arsenic has been used to cure syphilis in people in the past, heartworms in dogs to this day and the Chinese are currently rediscovering its use in variety of cures including cancer and maybe Malaria...or that people don't generally eat treated wood all day every day. It's well known that arsenic will kill rats...but not so well known that rats can't throw up. A bit of Portland cement and flour kills rats too. People would toss their cookies before it sets up and a high dose of arsenic would make the cookies fly. Rats can't toss cookies.
 Moral?  If you feel ill, stop eating your deck. [Switch back to paint flakes]
On that note, I've likely breathed a half ton of treated wood sawdust in my lifetime..certainly handled many tons of it... and feel just fine. [no parasites maybe?]

Maybe it's a conspiracy to sell more wood. [ Hey! Don't kids eat playground equipment fast enough?]

or a 'Save the Termite' campaign? [We all know that deterred termites kill children when they eat them, right?]
