Two thousand, three hundred years ago, Alexander The Great was
surveying his battlefield and drinking water from silver urns. He knew
nothing about bacteria, but he knew that silver containers have a
seemingly miraculous way of keeping water fresh.
Silver
has been used for thousands of years in different forms for its health
benefits. Throughout the middle ages, the wealthy gave their children
silver spoons to suck upon to stave off illnesses. People have known
about the benefits of silver for so long that it is incorporated into
legends.
Silver is the recommended agent for killing vampires,
werewolves, and various forms of the so-called undead. According to
ancient legend, a silver dagger was all that a knight needed to vanquish
evil.
The
new history of silver is a falsified history. Silver was once used
extensively by all health care practitioners as an antibiotic and
anti-viral. Nothing worked better then, and nothing does now.
The
F.D.A. began its crusade against silver products in the 1930’s, because
silver (as a natural substance) cannot be patented; but the
organization’s antibiotic and vaccine industry partners were able to
patent their wares.
Under the Food and Drug Administration’s
original name, The Bureau of Chemistry, its real mission was to legally
protect the chemical industry by declaring toxic chemicals to be
“generally recognized as safe”, and to eliminate the chemical industry’s
competition through regulations.
This history has likewise been
obscured greatly in most modern historical texts, but the truth can be
found in materials from its early period.
Silver medicine has been
erased from the textbooks, and it is seldom given mention in medical
literature. The official Pharmacopeia (physician’s desk reference book)
listed dozens of medicinal silver compounds prior to the mid-1930’s; but
thereafter, all mention of silver disappeared.
Newer books report
that it never really happened. Before the history was rewritten, silver
was like the nuclear weapon of medicine. No human pathogen of any kind
survived it. This was the gospel of medicine.
Pure colloidal
silver is still the most comprehensive and potent antibiotic and
anti-viral known that is actually safe for human consumption, and it is
absolutely safe for everyone in every condition. It is natural, has no
side effects, and it was killing the worst viral diseases in the 1930’s,
long before it became impossible to kill viruses with medicine.
Over
the past two centuries, silver has been used by both allopathic and
alternative medicine. In addition to being used for routine ailments,
silver has been used effectively against some of the most notoriously
hard to kill illnesses, including tuberculosis and syphilis.
It
has been used as an anti-bacterial agent that was added to bandages and
disinfectant sprays. It has been embedded into clothing to prevent
bacteria from producing foul odors from sweat, and it has been merged
into cloth that is used in burn centers.
Attempts are still being
made to lace hospital counter tops with silver, to prevent the growth of
bacteria. Silver-lined containers are actively being used to disinfect
water in third world countries.
Silver is remarkable because it is
an extremely powerful natural anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent, yet
it does not impair overall health like antibiotics do. It kills viruses,
bacteria, and parasites in cases wherein the parasites live in a
symbiotic relationship with a bacterial agent.
This is
surprisingly common, especially in the case of blood-borne parasites,
such as those of U.S. bio-weapons like Lyme disease. Because of the way
that silver kills with an electrical charge, no pathogen can be found or
engineered to be immune to it. No life can develop an immunity to
electricity.
Since the late nineteenth century, colloidal silver
has been the safest and most effective way to medicate with silver.
Colloidal silver is manufactured by electrically combining silver with
pure water. The colloidal manufacturing process uses no chemicals.
While
silver is now labeled as an alternative medicine, it was once used
widely in hospitals as the premiere antiseptic and antibiotic. It is
still used in hospital burn centers for its incredible ability to heal
burns more rapidly than steroids. We were astounded when witnessing it
eliminate a sunburn in the span of just an hour, and a burnt tongue
within minutes.
Removing silver from the market was one of the
first actions of the Food and Drug Administration, when it changed its
name in the 1930’s. It gradually changed its name from the Bureau of
Chemistry to the more publicly palatable, Food and Drug Administration.
In
1999, after a re-emergence of silver, the F.D.A. completely banned it
in any form from being sold in over-the-counter health products, despite
the fact that silver has safely been used as a medicine for millennia.
The
devastation of the polio epidemic was largely caused by how the Food
and Drug Administration suppressed silver to promote its new antibiotic
and vaccine industries. By removing silver from the lists of approved
medicines, it effectively removed the only treatment that reliably kills
polio, which in turn unleashed the full epidemic of polio. The F.D.A.
later claimed a victory over polio in boasting that the new generation
of vaccines had saved us.
The agency cunningly waited until the
epidemic was in its natural decline to release the vaccine, in order to
ensure that people saw a connection between the vaccine’s release date
and the disappearance of the disease. The public, and quite a few
doctors were distracted away from the fact that silver medications were a
safe treatment, which effectively kills polio quickly, as well as
virtually every other virus known.
Prior to this entire
smoke-and-mirrors routine, silver was recognized for doing what the
establishment now claims is impossible. Had silver medicine not been
stripped from the market, the polio epidemic would have never occurred.
Today’s
huge vaccine and antibiotic markets would have never come into being.
Silver had to go. Just to inflate the dishonest vaccine marketing even
more, the F.D.A. and the American Medical Association began promoting
tonsillectomies for all children at the same time, while knowing that
the tonsils are the only organ in the human body that produces polio
antibodies.
They needed polio to spread widely, in order to change
the public’s unfavorable attitude toward vaccinations, which is exactly
what happened.
The Food and Drug Administration now admits that
antibiotic drugs are useless for most of the conditions for which they
have been prescribed throughout the last seven decades. The common cold,
flu, and the most common type of pneumonia are all now believed to be
caused by viruses, for which antibiotics are useless against.
However, silver is effective against viruses, so untold people have died as a result of silver being replaced with antibiotics.
Another
suppression campaign against silver began around the time of the Second
World War, when germ warfare agents were being increasingly studied as
the new generation of warfare.
Silver
has the ability to neutralize almost every bio-weapon that has ever
been created, because of how it attacks pathogens electrically. Silver
will only be ineffective in cases wherein the bio-weapon is so toxic
that it kills people too quickly for the silver to neutralize it, such
as with ebola. Bio-weapons with that lethality are unlikely to be
intentionally released, because they present too much of a risk for all
parties.
Silver’s effectiveness against most bio-weapons is one of
the primary reasons why silver has been suppressed and maligned so
aggressively. There are groups within the U.S. Government that do not
want anyone to be resistant to U.S. Military bio-weapons, so silver
medications have been repressed throughout the world for the sake of a
covert military weapons program that is forbidden by international laws.
If
silver medicine were still being distributed officially as the top tier
of medicine, then the bio-weapons program would be rendered virtually
impotent, because victims could simply use colloidal silver to recover
from most germ warfare agents.
How Silver Medicine is Believed to Work
There
are theories about how silver works. The leading one is that silver
kills bacteria and viruses electrically, which would make it impossible
for pathogens to become resistant to it. Indeed, it is true that there
is no evidence of pathogens developing any resistance to colloidal
silver.
This hypothesis is impossible to prove (or disprove),
because we cannot examine a single colloidal particle and its relation
to a bacterium, or view the mechanism through which silver kills the
latter.
We can merely put colloidal silver and bacteria together, and
see that all of the bacteria dies rapidly.
It is believed that
each particle retains an electrical (ionic) charge, and that each
particle of the metal stores a charge of the same polarity. The charges
ensure equal distribution of the particles throughout the solution. The
theory is similar to that of magnetism, wherein the same poles of
magnets are repelled by each other, and attracted only to their
opposites.
There is evidence that silver interferes with copper
and iron in the body, by binding with both electrically, to chemically
form new metallic compounds. People who are using a large amount of
colloidal silver regularly may begin to crave foods which are rich in
iron, such as beef.
It is wise to satisfy these cravings, since
they are caused by a deficiency of an important nutrient. Copper can be
safely supplemented through the use of chlorophyll, but virtually every
other oral source of copper supplementation is dangerous, because it is
so trivially easy to overdose with it and cause liver damage.
Due
to colloidal silver’s ability to neutralize iron, men over the age of 30
will benefit from occasional colloidal silver supplementation. Iron
accumulation in the bodies of men is believed to be one of the key
reasons why women live longer than men do, and excessive iron is a major
contributor to heart disease in men.
The Different Silver Products
There
are many different types of silver solutions, including silver
nitrates, ionic silvers, colloidal silvers, silver chlorides, and silver
proteins. The only completely safe medicinal silver product, and the
kind that we officially recommend, is colloidal silver.
Silver
nitrate is produced by the pharmaceutical industry by combining silver
with nitric acid. It can damage the liver and kidneys like most
pharmaceutical drugs. It is the terrible side effects of silver nitrate
that the establishment often uses to justify its attacks upon colloidal
silver, in more sleight-of-hand tactics.
Pharmaceutical
silver nitrate has a long history of turning patients’ skin a
bluish-gray color. Nitrates are the cancer-causing compounds that are
added to meat products. In other words, the F.D.A. pushed the poisonous
and carcinogenic nitrate compounds on the public again, and blamed the
consequences on silver.
Ionic and colloidal silver are almost
identically produced. The main difference between them is the size of
the silver particles. In ionic silver, the particles are atomically
small, to such a degree that even testing for their existence is
difficult. It is possible that the particles in ionic silver are so
small that the water itself becomes a different substance, because the
silver particles are no longer completely autonomous.
The
particles in colloidal silver are microscopically small, but not as
small as they are in ionic silver. Ionic silver can be made using very
small voltages, over extended periods of time with silver plates. Higher
voltages, or decreased resistance in the water produces colloidal
silver. For true colloidal or ionic silver, the water must remain pure,
so the only way to reduce the resistance of the water is to heat it,
which most commercial manufacturers unwisely do.
Colloidal silver
is much more likely to have a color, whereas ionic silver is always
clear. This is because the larger particles in the colloidal silver
provide a greater surface area. Ionic silver particles are so small that
they are actually smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, making
the silver invisible and colorless in even high concentrations.
All
colloidal silver solutions are mixtures of ionic and colloidal silver,
but ionic solutions can be completely ionic. It is not possible to
produce colloidal silver without also producing ionic silver.
This is
analogous to a construction worker who extracts materials from a brick
wall.
He might use a grinding tool that yielded only a fine
powder, or he could bash the brick wall with a sledge hammer, which
would yield a mixture of large chunks and fine powder. The use of higher
voltages for colloidal extraction is like hammering the silver.
The
larger particles that are found in colloidal silver solutions are
especially beneficial for external use, including the treatment of
burns. Ionic silver is useless externally, and its internal effects have
never been studied by independent third parties.
Only colloidal
silver and silver nitrate have been scientifically scrutinized for
effectiveness, and only the colloidal variant is truly safe. Incredibly,
colloidal silver is the only type which the pharmaceutical industry has
never sold.
Another silver product is silver chloride. It is
essentially made in the same manner as colloidal silver, but with the
addition of table salt (sodium chloride). It is a cloudy liquid (often
whitish) that is extremely photosensitive. Upon illumination or heating,
the silver chloride solution separates into silver and chlorine. This
instability makes it unsafe for human consumption. When ingested, silver
chloride has a tendency to migrate to the outer tissues.
Then,
when the skin is exposed to sunlight, the silver chloride will break
down into silver and chlorine. This causes the bluish-gray skin
discoloration that has been heavily publicized as damning evidence
against silver medicine. Victims of this phenomenon often claim that
they drank colloidal silver, but the addition of salt transformed it
into a very different substance that was chemically unstable.
True
colloidal silver compounds are much less reactive. Silver chloride has
no benefits over colloidal silver, and it comes with risks. The salt is
usually added to speed production time, but the same effect can be
achieved with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in a much safer manner.
The
addition of sodium bicarbonate will yield especially large particles,
which is unwise for internal use, but the resultant solution would
nevertheless be ideal for external use. It would be excellent for burn
treatments and infectious wound treatments.
Silver proteins
contain much larger particles than either colloidal or ionic silver, and
they should never be used internally. These were formerly approved of
by the F.D.A., and they were preferred by the pharmaceutical industry.
The
silver particles in silver protein solutions are so large that they
simply sink in the water, and the particles never stay evenly
distributed without the aid of an added gelling agent.
Due to the
large size of the silver particles, and the silver’s binding with
proteins, there is a dramatically increased likelihood that the silver
will become trapped in the fatty tissues. Therefore, these thick
solutions are likely to produce the infamous bluish discoloration of the
skin too.
Dishonest Silver Companies
Misinformation is
being spread by most sellers of colloidal silver. Most sellers boast
about colloidal silver by showcasing its long history of safe usage, but
they simultaneously claim to use a proprietary process that makes their
silver superior to all other silver products.
Their admitted
usage of non-standard manufacturing processes means that they cannot
sincerely use the safety history of colloidal silver as an example of
their own product’s safety, or honestly declare that their untested and
proprietary product is as effective.
If a different manufacturing
process is used, then the result cannot actually be colloidal silver.
There is only one way to make colloidal silver, and any other
manufacturing process will yield an entirely different product. Hence,
the marketing for most colloidal silver is patently dishonest from start
to end.
This is not an indictment against colloidal silver
itself, but its sellers tend to be morally bankrupt, and the products
that they sell are potentially-dangerous frauds. Every manufacturing
short-cut has consequences.
We are aware from patent applications
that some companies are producing silver solutions using fermenting
bacteria that is combined with silver nitrates, instead of using
electricity; but we do not know exactly which silver products are
manufactured using this deplorable process.
Whenever silver
products are produced this way, they are inherently tainted with the
dangerous nitrate compounds that the pharmaceutical silvers became
infamous for.
The effects of these toxic impurities can be much
more severe than mere skin discolorations. Organ damage is a known
consequence of using nitrate compounds, and cancers.
Most sellers
of modern colloidal silver advertise that their product contains between
10 and 20 parts per million. They probably seek this concentration due
to the research of Alfred Searle. He authored the book,
The Use of Colloids in Health and Disease, in 1920.
He
is also the founder of Searle Pharmaceuticals. His company was
respectable in its early history, and Searle was long dead before his
company dishonored his memory by selling itself to Monsanto.
In
his book, Searle reported that a concentration of just 20 parts per
million of silver was proven to be deadly to all known pathogenic life
forms, including every known virus. However, these results do not equate
to the 10-20 parts per million ratings that can be found on most silver
products of today. The reason is that the methods of testing have
changed dramatically.
Alfred Searle used a Tyndall meter to
measure how many particles of silver were present in a solution. It is a
device that uses light to test for hue and reflection, which are used
to determine the particle count and their size. These devices use light
wavelengths as the means of measurement.
Most modern sellers of
silver products instead purchase an electronic device that measures the
conductivity of the finished product. The conductivity of different
solutions will always vary greatly, so these meters cannot possibly do
what they are advertised to do.
For example, if salt were added to
the water, then it would have a different effect on the conductivity
than if copper were added, because of their differing electrical
properties. Yet the sellers of these meters claim that they are able to
get accurate results measuring particle counts regardless of a
solution’s ingredients. If salt or another electrolyte exists in the
water, the conductivity of the water will increase dramatically, even
whilst the number of particles will stay roughly the same.
Particle
size and the temperature of the solution also effect the conductivity,
which the meter has no way of determining. Even a gust of wind will give
a different reading, due to the electrostatic effect upon the surface
of the solution.
In the case of colloidal metals, electrically
gauging the concentration is even more futile than it is for other types
of solutions, because the metallic liquid is an electrolytic capacitor
with a constantly changing capacitance.
Electricity cannot be used
to measure the amount of metal in a solution when the surface area of
the metal cannot be verified, and when the capacitance of the solution
is ever-changing. It is like trying to get a consistent light
measurement from a fireworks display.
The capacitive solution
itself will produce its own tiny currents, and it will block currents
from the meter, which makes electronic testing an exercise in absurdity.
The only way to accurately measure concentration in a fluid with
metallic colloids is by using light.
Thus, the parts per million
rating given by most colloidal and ionic silver sellers is meaningless.
Since colloidal silver changes the color of the water, clear colloidal
solutions are frequently just expensive water, regardless of any
measurement that sellers purportedly get. In the case of ionic silvers,
it is impossible to measure the particle count, since the particles are
too small to reflect light.
TDS Meter, the
de facto
manufacturer of the new testing equipment, even acknowledges the
uselessness of its own meters on its website, in an amusing attempt at
damage control:
” …temperature changes by a tenth
of a degree may increase or decrease the conductivity. Additionally, the
temperature coefficient (what the reading is multiplied by to adjust
for temperature differences) changes slightly depending upon the range
of ppm… Even a tiny air bubble that has adhered to one of the probes
could potentially affect the conductivity, and thus the reading…
Electrical charges off fingers, static eletricity off clothes, etc. on
the meter and lingering electrical charges in the water will affect the
conductivity of the water… Plastic cups retain lingering electrical
charges more than glass. If the meter touches the side of the glass or
plastic, it could pick up a slight charge. If the plastic is retaining a
charge, it could also affect the water… The amount of water in the
sample may affect the conductivity. Different volumes of the same water
may have different levels of conductivity. Displacement may affect the
conductivity as well… The depth and position of the probe in the water
sample may also affect the conductivity. For example, if a meter is
dipped into the water, removed and then dipped into the water again, but
in a different spot, the reading may change…”
The
expensive methods of testing colloidal solutions that are utilized by
modern laboratories are likewise grossly flawed. Flame atomic absorption
spectroscopy is one of the leading laboratory methods for analyzing
colloidal solutions.
It uses extreme temperatures to destroy a
colloidal solution, and then observers rate the colours of the flames, in
an attempt to visually gauge the metal concentration. Fire is
impossible to control with the precision that is needed for a valid
analysis; and of course, the test results are in the eyes of the
beholder.
True Colloidal Silver
This
section is intended to assist people in producing their own colloidal
silver. The silver solutions sold at retailers are essentially the homoeopathic versions of colloidal and ionic silver products, which means
that they are merely high-priced water.
Some
of the retail products that we examined had plenty of impurities (like
iron that biologically neutralizes silver), but we found very little
silver. Testing was impossible in the case of ionic silvers, which may
be convenient for manufacturers. At many locations, the municipal water
supply will contain more silver than the fraudulent retail products.
The
majority of retail products are fake, and these bogus products are the
primary reason why so many people, who are new to alternative medicine,
believe that silver is ineffective. The products that retail shoppers
typically buy are usually no more effective than water, because they are
water. People can produce their own to ensure that it is real and of
the best quality.
Manufacturing Colloidal Silver
The most
important step in the production of colloidal silver is obtaining the
right materials. Using distilled water is vital. Never use tap or spring
water, because even minerals that would normally be beneficial can
cause health problems once they are electro-chemically transformed
through electrolysis.
Ensure that the water has been distilled
using steam distillation, which should be written on the container. Some
“distilled” water containers have, “distilled through reverse osmosis”
on the label, and these labels are entirely dishonest.
True
distillation uses steam to separate the water from its minerals and
contaminants, whereas reverse osmosis is simply a type of pressurized
filtration that does not render pure water. It is a much cheaper
process, so some of the companies lie about their “distillation”.
Beware
of the Food Lion brand of distilled water in particular, because our
testing during the production of colloidal copper indicated that it is
quite impure, even though it is labeled to have been distilled. Also, be
forewarned that the formation of black chunks and other
strangely-colored precipitates during the electrolysis process is an
indication of water impurities.
Black is the most common color for
these, because they are usually the charred carbon remnants of organic
matter and bicarbonates. Some grayish chucks may form in the water.
These silver particulates are actually safe and are conglomerates of
larger particles.
They are especially beneficial for burns and
skin infections, but they should be filtered out of the solution for
internal use. A coffee filter works exceptionally well for this, and the
solution may be poured through a coffee maker.
Silver particles
which have not clumped remain in either a colloidal or an ionic state,
and these will pass through any filter. In fact, the particles are so
small that wooden spoons and plastic utensils will begin to develop a
silvery appearance after several batches. Never use metal utensils. The
only metals in the process should be the silver itself and the
electrical connection wires.
Using chlorinated tap water is
especially dangerous, because when chlorine combines with other
materials, it has a tendency to form dioxin compounds. It will also
produce chlorine gas during electrolysis, which was used as a chemical
warfare agent during World War I.
Sodium chloride (salt) in the
water will also release chlorine gas, so salt should never be added. As
an important side note, tap water should never be used inside vaporizers
for the same reason, because chlorine gas will be released into the air
to actually worsen lung issues.
We strongly recommend that
instead of obtaining silver wire, which is used for most colloidal
silver manufacture, people instead use silver bullion bars (pictured).
Most of the silver wire that is available comes from China, and it is
simply not feasible to check every wire for impurities.
Chinese
wire should be assumed to be contaminated, since this is normal with
Chinese products. When referencing the purity of their metals, companies
use an obscure way of gauging it. Whenever a seller of a precious metal
refers to it as having a purity of 925, it equates to 92.5 percent, so
the given metal would be almost 10 percent impure.
Most people
will assume that a purity rating of 925 means that the metal contains
only 0.925% impurities, and therefore that it would be over 99% pure. Be
watchful of this gotcha. A large portion of the silver buyers seem to
be ignorant of it. We recommend getting only 99.9% (written by sellers
as 999) silver bullion bars.
However, modern buyers should beware
even when buying “pure” silver bullion bars. It has come to our
attention that the bullion market of the United States has been flooded
with counterfeit bullion bars in recent years. Other countries are
likely to be experiencing the same Chinese contamination problems.
To
minimize the risk of buying fakes, bullion bars should never be
purchased from Craig’s List, E-bay, or any other source that is not
absolutely trustworthy, because the purity of the bullion is absolutely
essential for health and safety reasons.
We therefore recommend
that our readers attempt to purchase bullion bars from banks and other
reputable institutions that service the financial market. In the
not-so-distant past, bullion bars were an absolutely pure source of
silver that were guaranteed to be safe, because they are regulated as an
official currency.
This once meant that any attempt to sell fake
bullion bars would have risked a swift law-enforcement response for
counterfeiting, and a plethora of additional charges that would have
gotten a man imprisoned for the rest of his life; but alas that safety
net has disappeared, for the Chinese have no fear of the law.
Coins
contain a variety of metals that should not be consumed, so never use
silver coins for colloidal silver manufacture. High purity is vital,
because most metals are extremely detrimental to the health. Silver of
such extreme purity typically only contains the impurities of copper and
selenium, in trace amounts.
Both of which are beneficial to
health in these small quantities. In fact, both are vital nutrients.
Selenium is actually used by the human body to chelate harmful metals.
To
avoid any soap or chemical residues, the bullion bars should be soaked
in a solution of white vinegar that is nearly saturated with salt for
cleaning. They can also safely be cleaned with vodka. Finalize the
cleaning by pouring distilled water over the bars.
It is not
absolutely necessary to clean the silver between uses, but we do. Be
advised that the silver will never look new again, regardless of the
cleaning method.
People may either use three 9V batteries that are
interconnected in series, or a 30V DC power supply that has a rated
output of at least 3 amps (3,000 mA) to power the electrolysis. A power
supply does not have to be exactly 30 volts, but it is the ideal
voltage.
The range should be kept between 26 and 30 volts, which
is also ideal for creating colloidal copper. Those who have no
experience with electronics should opt for battery power, instead of
using a DC power supply. Serious injury and fire can result from the
improper use of a power supply.
The electrical danger is elevated
because water is being used. For liability reasons, we must officially
recommend against using a power supply, and anyone using a power supply
does so at his own risk. Batteries must be interconnected, so that the
positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal
of another battery. When properly connected, one battery should have an
unused positive pole, and the opposite battery should have an unused
negative pole.
These two remaining terminals should be connected
to the two pieces of silver. Most 9V batteries in the U.S. have
terminals that can be used to interconnect with other 9V batteries,
whereby connection wire is unnecessary for the battery to battery
connections.
Never use aluminum wire for any of the connections,
and we strongly recommend the use of only copper wiring, for the sake of
preventing unhealthy contaminants.
To make colloidal silver, fill
a completely clean glass or plastic container with distilled water. We
suggest cleaning the container with vodka immediately beforehand, to
remove soap residues and dust. Connect the batteries to the pieces of
silver.
Most people do this with alligator clips. We usually make
our connections by inserting copper wires through tiny holes in the tops
of the silver bullion, and then we twist the wires for maximum hold.
Never
solder the connection to the silver, and it is wise to even avoid
soldering the wires to alligator clips, for solder can leach lead or
cadmium into the solution if the metal components become moist. Nobody
should be supplementing with lead and cadmium.
The silver bars
should be partially submerged in the water, and be about an inch apart.
They should never touch, and the wire connections should never enter the
water. If the connectors or silver are allowed to touch, the batteries
or the power supply will have a dead short.
This could cause
overheating and an explosion. It could easily mean a quick death for the
power supply. The electrical connections to the silver should be
clearly above the water, else other metals will become infused into the
solution. Nothing except for pure silver should be in contact with the
water.
We recommend that all other connectors and wires be
maintained at least a quarter inch above the water’s surface. We should
offer one last reminder of the risks of using solder, which include the
introduction of tin, lead, and cadmium into the product.
The time
needed to produce colloidal silver will vary greatly, depending on the
purity of water that is used, and no commercially-available water is
absolutely pure. One of the first indicators that silver is combining
with the water can be seen with a flashlight in a dark room.
Shining
light through the water at certain angles will show what appears to be
smoke coming from one of the silver plates. As time progresses, one of
the silver plates will turn a flat gray color, and the other plate will
blacken. Tiny bubbles may also form around the silver plates. Those
producing a large batch over an extended period should gently stir the
solution periodically, using a wooden or plastic spoon.
Some
people can produce a quart in twenty minutes, but our own
experimentation in making 2 quarts required a duration of 4 hours to
reach the acceptable strength and color. Due to the fact that silver is
extremely non-reactive, a slower process indicates higher purity in both
the silver and the water.
Pure water and pure silver will both be
very resistant to the electrolysis process. Readers may notice that
many of the online manufacturing videos show colloidal silver being
produced very rapidly, using silver wires that were obtained from China.
A
short manufacture time indicates the presence of other, more reactive
metals, and perhaps impure water too. When producing our own colloidal
silver by the gallon, we add about 10 fluid ounces of existing colloidal
silver to speed the production time, without effecting the quality of
the resultant product.
To make the silver bars last as long as
possible, the polarity should be reversed each time. This means that the
silver bar that is connected to the positive (red) wire in one batch
should be switched so that it is connected to negative in the next
batch. Otherwise, one of the bars will rapidly erode.
If a
colloidal silver solution is black, brown, or purple, then it indicates
that the silver particles are abnormally large. It may also reflect the
presence of impurities. The huge particle size of these products makes
it debatable if these solutions can truly be called colloidal.
It
is how most colloidal silvers from online sellers look. The ugly
discolorations can also be caused by heating during production, or from
the use of high voltages, which are common shortcuts taken by the
commercial manufacturers. We recommend that such solutions be avoided,
except as a last resort.
These products are significantly less
effective internally than properly produced colloidal silver, and the
abnormally large silver particles are more likely to get forever trapped
in the tissues.
Most commercial sellers have proprietary
processes for production, which cannot be trusted, and there is no way
to know what is really in their products. We do know from the color of
their products that they are not selling true colloidal silver.
Properly Medicating with Colloidal Silver
High
quality colloidal silver that is of the appropriate medicinal strength
(25 P.P.M.) looks slightly yellowish in a brilliant white container.
Newly-made batches of weak colloidal silver will instead have a slight
silvery tint when first made. Some batches turn yellow about a day after
production.
The strength of a colloidal silver solution can be
judged by shining a laser pointer through the solution, whilst the
silver is being infused. A red laser pointer is best, because the beam
is least visible under normal conditions.
As the silver solution
gets stronger, it will become possible to see the red beam clearly
through the water. As the solution becomes more concentrated, the laser
beam will become more solid, and silver particles will sparkle in the
beam like glitter.
We recommend against making stronger
concentrations for most uses, because silver appears to create iron
deficiencies with extreme dosages. We do not truly know if the colloidal
silver causes the increased excretion of iron, or if it simply
neutralizes usable iron by bonding with it, or both.
We believe
that it is both. Either way, there are no real human toxicity issues,
but the proper iron level should be nevertheless maintained for optimal
health.
During times of sickness, we recommend using 3 fluid
ounces of colloidal silver, at least twice a day. Best results can be
achieved by holding the colloidal silver in the mouth for a minute
before swallowing it. This technique allows some silver to penetrate
through the walls of the mouth, and directly into the bloodstream.
Expect
for it to have a metallic aftertaste. Due to the wide variety of people
who will read this, we have made the recommended silver dosage very
conservative, but some patients measure their dosages in cups.
Storage of Colloidal Silver
Colloidal
silver may be stored in either plastic or glass. The ideal plastic is
the type that is used to store milk. It is high-density polyethylene
(HDPE), and it can be identified in the U.S. by a number “2” embossed
into the bottom of the container.
It
is a very non-reactive plastic, but the microscopic silver particles
may stain it. Of course, many people prefer to store their colloidal
silver in glass, due to their concerns about no plastic being perfect.
Such individuals usually choose an amber-colored glass container, as a
way to prevent excessive light exposure.
Colloidal silver should
be stored at room temperature, and never allowed to freeze. The silver
will coagulate into visible chunks at the bottom when frozen, which will
make the solution much less effective and create the possibility that
it will cause argyria.
Therefore, an interesting experiment to
verify the presence of silver in the solution is to freeze a small
amount of it, and then examine the clumped silver at the bottom of the
container after thawing. If a choice must be made between storage in a
hot or cold environment, the warmer environment should always be chosen.
Pure
colloidal silver should not experience any of the serious breakdown
problems that silver chloride solutions do, whenever there is light
exposure; but we nevertheless store our colloidal silver in a dark
location, because darkness might somewhat help to keep it better
preserved.
A good batch of colloidal silver should last for years,
because the silver itself is a powerful preservative. In fact, we use
it as a substitute for water in risky foods that use uncooked
ingredients, such as raw eggs (for mayonnaise production). It is used to
ensure that all of the bacteria is dead. A minute of blending with
colloidal silver is enough to ensure that no bacteria survives.
Patients Experiencing the Blues
The
medical establishment and the big media organizations have demonized
colloidal silver by parading people who developed a condition known as
argyria. It is a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin that is reported
to be permanent.
However, every case that we investigated involved products that were not actually
colloidal
silver, and most cases were the result of pharmaceutical-industry
silver products. Our exhaustive research could not find a single
instance of argyria that was caused by pure colloidal silver. The
pharmaceutical silver solutions are the most likely to cause it.
Regulators
proclaim that the people who turned blue are demonstrative of silver’s
toxicity, but the opposite is actually true. It proves that even after a
person has become so incredibly saturated with silver from 20+ years of
misuse that he turns blue, he
still does not suffer from any real health problems.
The
blue patients are actually healthier than normal. Take for comparison: a
patient who consumes enough aspirin to turn white. Actually, we cannot
use this example, because within 20 minutes of such extreme aspirin
consumption, the patient would be dead from internal bleeding — long
before he ever began changing color.
The National Institutes of
Health documented one case of argyria that occurred when a man started
producing his own silver solution, and consumed 16 fluid ounces of it,
three times each day, for a period of years. He measured his silver to
contain a whopping 450 parts per million, which is 22 times stronger
than is normal.
This regimen gave his body the same concentration
of silver as if he had consumed 1,056 fluid ounces of standard colloidal
silver (8.25 gallons per day). The extreme concentration means that the
silver had to be discolored and impure, and it almost certainly had
salt added.
Otherwise, it would have taken him days to manufacture
each day’s batch at such concentrations, so we can be certain that he
was using silver chloride instead of colloidal silver. It is a
reflection of the stupidity of turning to pharmaceutical manufacturing
processes for the practice of alternative medicine, and then using the
terrible results to prove that alternative medicine is bad. It is what
we see most often in the politics of silver.
The most popularized
case of argyria is that of Paul Karason, the so-called Smurf Man. He
internally consumed large doses of a homemade silver solution for years,
and then began also using silver externally on his face. He too made
his silver solution using salt, which resulted in silver chloride.
Despite
it being a completely different substance, he refers to his solution as
“colloidal silver”, as does the media. We believe that after he noticed
some slight skin discoloration, he actually increased his dosage,
because he had found a way to become famous and profit from being a
freak.
He admits publicly to using excessive amounts of his silver chloride both internally and transdermally, daily for 14 years. He
still
continues to use it, despite his obvious saturation. He further admits
that his face turned blue before the rest of his body; and yet he
continued to use both silver products, despite the color change.
Due
to Karason’s self-inflicted and intentional cosmetic alteration, the
F.D.A. has been using him in a public relations campaign that is
intended to convince the public that colloidal silver is dangerous. We
can only speculate about how much the media networks and the F.D.A. have
paid him for his appearances.
Not one death or serious side
effect has ever been recorded for pure colloidal silver, during the
century of its existence. There are, however, plenty of horror stories
from people who used the chemically-altered silvers that were made with
various proteins, salts, or fermented bacteria.
