RE: 620001
Dear Lauryn Suarez and Ashley Peluso:
This letter is to advise you that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed your website at https://www.5dfulldisclosure.org/, which redirects to https://newearthhealingessentials.ecwid.com/, from November through December 2021, and has determined that you take orders there for your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops,” “Gaia’s Organic Nasal Spray,” “Copper Healing Roller,” “Plasma Copper Elixer,” “Plasma Gold Elixer,” “Plasma Gold & Silver Elixer Package,” and “Plasma Silver Elixer.” We have also reviewed your social media website at https://www.facebook.com/New-Earth-Healing-Essentials-105328171777000/; this social media website direct consumers to your website at https://newearthhealingessentials.ecwid.com/ to purchase products. The claims on your website and social media website establish that your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops,” “Gaia’s Organic Nasal Spray,” “Copper Healing Roller,” “Plasma Copper Elixer,” “Plasma Gold Elixer,” “Plasma Gold & Silver Elixer Package,” and “Plasma Silver Elixer” products are unapproved new drugs sold in violation of sections 505(a) and 301(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a) and 331(d). FDA has also determined that your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops” and “Copper Healing Roller” products are unapproved new animal drugs that are unsafe under section 512(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 360b(a) and adulterated under section 501(a)(5) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(5). As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce violates the FD&C Act. You can find the FD&C Act and FDA regulations through links on FDA’s home page at www.fda.gov.
The Agency is particularly concerned that you market your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops,” “Gaia’s Organic Nasal Spray,” and “Copper Healing Roller” products for use in children. The use of untested drugs can have unpredictable and unintended consequences, especially in vulnerable populations, such as children, who may be at greater risk for adverse reactions associated with certain drug products due to their differences in the ability to absorb, metabolize, distribute, or excrete such drug products or their metabolites.
Further, your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops” product is especially concerning from a public health perspective because ophthalmic drug products can pose serious risk of harm to humans and/or animals if toxic substances are introduced directly into the eye because irreversible damage, including vision loss, can result. Your “Gaia’s Organic Nasal Spray” intranasal drug product is also concerning because it may be rapidly absorbed through the highly vascularized nasal mucosa directly into systemic blood circulation, where they may exert undesirable systemic effects such as increased heart rate or elevated blood pressure. If toxic substances are introduced directly into the nose, harmful local effects such as bleeding, ulceration, or nasal septal perforation may occur.

Your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops,” “Gaia’s Organic Nasal Spray,” “Copper Healing Roller,” “Plasma Copper Elixer,” “Plasma Gold Elixer,” “Plasma Gold & Silver Elixer Package,” and “Plasma Silver Elixer” products are not generally recognized as safe and effective for their above referenced uses and, therefore they are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p). With certain exceptions not applicable here, new drugs may not be legally introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without prior approval from the FDA, as described in sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a). FDA approves a new drug on the basis of scientific data and information demonstrating that the drug is safe and effective. There are no FDA-approved applications in effect for your products.
Unapproved New Animal Drugs
Based on our review of your websites, your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops” and “Copper Healing Roller,” products are drugs under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1)(B), because these products are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in animals.
Examples of claims observed on your website that show the intended uses of your “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops” and “Copper Healing Roller” products include, but may not be limited to, the following:
From your website https://newearthhealingessentials.ecwid.com/: Webpage titled – “Plasma Colloidal Silver Eyedrops”
• “Our Colloidal Silver Eyedrops include a 2oz bottle of our colloidal silver that contains minimal amounts of our turmeric extract so it is safe to be used in the eyes for any infections, irritations, and to protect against any viruses, can be used for children, adults and pets.
These eyedrops provide protection and healing from any infections, bacteria or viruses in the eyes and can be used on-the-go.”
From your website https://newearthhealingessentials.ecwid.com/: Webpage titled – “Copper Healing Roller”
• This roller is perfect for your face & body and can also be used on children & pets to heal skin irritations and scarring.
These products are “new animal drugs,” as defined by section 201(v) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(v), because they are not generally recognized among experts qualified by scientific training and experience to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of animal drugs, as safe and effective for use under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling. These products are not the subject of approved new animal drug applications, conditionally approved new animal drug applications, or index listing under sections 512, 571, and 572 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 360b, 360ccc, and 360ccc-1. Therefore, these products are unsafe under section 512(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 360b(a) and adulterated under section 501(a)(5) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 351(a)(5). The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these adulterated drugs violate section 301(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(a).
