How to make Colloidal Silver

How I ended all disease with three nine volt batteries.

"We now know what 'wealth' is. Wealth is the ability to re

generate life. How many people can you take care of

for how many days?" - Buckminster Fuller


Imagine having your own hospital. Not just any hospital either.

After all, the mortality rate generally drops when hospitals go

on strike.(1,2,3,4) Death due to toxic drugs, unnecessary

treatment, rampant ignorance and a sea of antibiotic-resistant

bacteria make most hospitals the Devil's own playground.



No, I'm talking about a hospital that makes people well again.

Now, imagine that your new hospital is essentially cost free,

works anywhere and is the size of a transistor radio, neatly

fitting in your shirt pocket. Impossible? Not at all. The only

thing unbelievable about it is that every American doesn't

already have one.



The "hospital" I am talking about is a Colloidal Silver generator.



Silver is a powerful, natural prophylactic/antibiotic, used for

thousands of years. Ancient Greeks lined their eating and

drinking vessels with silver, as did many other cultures

throughout the world.(5)



Pioneers of the American West would put a silver dollar in a

jug of milk to keep it fresh without refridgeration.(6)



Did you ever wonder why silverware was made from silver?

One of the properties of silver is that it kills bacteria on

contact in six minutes or less.(7) It may be that gold and

silver were first used as valued currency because of their

medical properties.



Dr. Robert O. Becker, "The Body Electric," recognized a

correlation between low silver levels and sickness. He said

silver deficiency was responsible for the improper functioning

of the immune system. Dr. Becker's experiments conclude that

silver works on the full spectrum of pathogens without any

side effects or damage to the body. He also states that silver

does more than kill disease-causing organisms.



It also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues.

Burn patients and even elderly patients notice more rapid

healing. And he discovered that all cancer cells can change

back to normal cells. All strains of pathogens resistant

to other antibiotics are killed by silver.



What is Colloidal Silver?



Colloidal Silver is the result of an electro-magnetic process

that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver

into a liquid, such as water.(8) These microscopic particles

can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body.



Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme

that all one celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their

oxygen metabolism. In short, the bad guys suffocate. Unlike

with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to

develop.



In fact, antibiotics are only effective against perhaps a

dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses. Because

no known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of

even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver,

Colloidal Silver is effective against more than 650 different

disease-causing pathogens.(9)



Since there is not enough room to list all the diseases against

which Colloidal Silver has been used successfully, here is a

tiny sample: acne, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, blood

parasites, bubonic plague, burns (colloidal silver is one of

the few treatments that can keep severe burn patients alive),

cancer,(10) cholera, conjunctivitis, diabetes, gonorrhea, hay

fever, herpes, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, Lyme

disease, malaria, meningitis, parasitic infections both viral

and fungal, pneumonia, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever,

septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, shingles,

skin cancer, staph infections, strep infections, syphilis,

toxemia, trenchfoot, all forms of viruses, warts and stomach

ulcer.



In addition it also has veterinary uses, such as for canine

parvo virus.  You'll also find Colloidal Silver very handy in

the garden since it can be used against bacterial, fungal and

viral attacks on plants.



Simply spray diluted Colloidal Silver on the leaves, and add

to soil water.



It would appear highly unlikely that even germ warfare agents

could survive an encounter with Colloidal Silver, since viruses

like E Bola and Hanta, or even the dreaded "flesh-eating

bacteria" are, in the end, merely hapless viruses and bacteria.



To top it off, Colloidal Silver is virtually non-toxic, making

it safe for both children and adults, as well as pets.(11, 12)



In short, anything bigger than a one-cell animal seems to like it.



Nor does one have to worry about that FDA (Food and Drug

Administration) fox being put in charge of this home remedy hen

house. Colloidal Silver is a pre-1938 healing modality, making

it exempt from FDA jurisdiction under the grandfather clause.(13)



So why haven't you heard of it?



I suspect the user friendly economics of Colloidal Silver may

have something to do with its low profile in the media. Colloidal

Silver can't help but shine a spotlight on the expensive and

deadly nature of our pharmaceutical industries, who are bigger

than the Pentagon economically.



For example, the pharmaceutical cartel's relentless promotion

of dangerous vaccines for humans and animals through government

programs have now been linked to everything from increasing crib

deaths in infants (who in many documented cases scream for hours

before dying), to the increasingly common disease, feline

leukemia, in house cats.(14) Colloidal Silver, on the other hand,

is a safe and reliable alternative to expensive pharmeceuticals.



It is true that consuming large amounts over long periods of

time may kill some friendly bacteria in your intestines. If

taking large amounts, you should supplement your diet with

yogurt or acidophilus, or compensate for possible bacteria loss

in some other way.



This is not, however, a serious problem, and unlike antibiotics,

Colloidal Silver does not weaken the body's immune system. In

fact, it is said to give the body a second immune system,

creating a shield against disease of all kinds.



A good quality Colloidal Silver can be diluted as much as 8

to 1 and still be highly effective. An average adult dose might

be one or two ounces of concentrate mixed in an eight-ounce

glass of water, not more than three times a day. However, there

would appear to be a great deal of leeway here, since no toxic

dose is known.



Sadly, some Colloidal Silvers currently on the market have as

little as 1 part per million (ppm) and sell for as much as

$60.00 for eight ounces. However, thanks to physicist Bob

Beck's brilliantly simple design outlined below, you can now

construct your own generator and produce unlimited amounts

of high-quality Colloidal Silver concentrate. And for only

1/10th of a cent per gallon, plus the price of water!



How to make your own Silver Colloid Generator.



While it has been discovered that 30 volts is the ideal for

Silver Colloid production, 27 volts is very effective and

happens to be the convenient result of wiring three 9-volt

batteries together.



Therefore,

you'll need three 9-volt transistor radio batteries,

            three battery snap-on lead connectors,

            2 insulated alligator clips,

            1 "grain-of-wheat" 24 volt 40 mA sub miniature

            incandescent bulb,

            a foot of 3/32" heat-shrink insulation tubing,

            a foot of 2-conductor stranded insulated wire

            for clip-leads,

            a small box to put it all in, and

            10" of pure silver wire (.999 fine).



This should cost under $30.00 for everything. Assuming some

skill with a soldering iron, you should spend about thirty

minutes constructing the generator.



Solder your three snap-on battery clips in series (red to

black) to provide 27 volts. Connect a 24V incandescent lamp

in series with either positive or negative output lead.



Solder the red insulated alligator clip to the positive (anode)

and the black insulated clip to the negative (cathode)

2-conductor lead wires.  Insulation is shrunk over soldered

connections using a heat gun or hair dryer.



Cut your 10" of silver wire in half. Bend top ends of your

two 5" silver electrode wires so they can clip over the top rim

of a plastic or glass cup (not metal).



About 4" of each wire should be submerged.



WARNING! Use ONLY pure silver (.999 fine) electrodes. #14 gauge

is the preferred thickness. Pure silver is sometimes available

at electroplating supply companies. Or, inquire at a jewelry

store specializing in silver about who their wholesale supplier

is.



Do not use sterling silver (.9275) since sterling contains

copper and nickel.



NICKEL CAN BE TOXIC. (With this in mind, you may want to have

a chemical analysis (assay) of your purchased silver in addition

to the written word of your supplier.)



If the Silver Colloid is to be ingested or injected, be sure to

use distilled water. Tap water is fine for other uses, such as

for a topical spray or for plants. Also, before beginning to

make your Colloidal Silver you will need to make a saline

solution for enhancing conductivity.



**************************************************

NOTE: Two points of interest since this file was posted;



  1)  DO NOT USE SALT - just use distilled water

  2)  An ingot of silver cut in half works better than wire

**************************************************



Saline solution can be made by mixing six ounces of distilled

water with one tea-spoon of sea salt in a separate container.



Do not use common table salt as table salt has chemical

additives. After stirring the salt solution, pour some of the

water into an eye dropper bottle.



Now you're ready to make Colloidal Silver. Pour eight ounces

of water into your glass. Add 1 or 2 drops of saline solution

(3 drops at the most; if you use too much salt, you'll be

making silver chloride instead!) to distilled water and stir

with a plastic/non-conductive utensil.



Insert silver electrode wires. Placement of wires is not critical,

but they must not be touching each other or the process will

stop. (You cannot shock yourself in this process so do not be

concerned.)



Attach alligator clips to the ends of the silver electrode

wires coming over the outside rim of the glass and you will

see a grey mist inside the glass start to peel away from the

positive polarity wire while bubbles of hydrogen rise from

the other.



Laboratory tests show that this method creates a silver colloid

of approximately 1 ppm per minute of activation time.



Since you are only taking microscopic particles from the silver

wire, your silver wire may very well last for years.



The brightness of the light bulb is related to the conductivity

of the water. It is not necessarily a problem if the bulb is

very dim or even remains dark as long as the process itself is

occurring. (If the bulb is dark you can always consider adding

one more drop of saline solution next time.) Do not add saline

solution after process has begun.



Of course, when batteries are old, the light will also become

dimmer, signaling it's time for a change. Touch the two alligator

clips together to test the brightness of the bulb as a battery

check. A fresh set of three alkaline batteries should make

several hundred thousand batches of concentrated Silver Colloid.



Also, put a few drops of Silver Colloid in the saline solution

to prevent fungus growth.



When finished, detach alligator clips. Clean silver electrode

wire after each use to remove dark oxide on the anode. Use a

small piece of 1/4" thick nylon kitchen scouring pad to polish

dried silver, then wipe with paper napkin to make ready for

next use.



Store your Colloidal Silver in dark, non-conductive (and if

plastic, non-reactive) containers, like empty hydrogen peroxide

bottles. Keep away from light as even room light will degrade

colloids rapidly by turning solution grey or black just as

exposure to light darkens the silver in camera film. Stir

thoroughly or shake each time before using. Keep cool, but do

not refrigerate.



In using your own home-made silver colloid generator it will

become apparent that you now have the power to safely protect

yourself, your family, your pets and plants, your community,

and (through the dissemination of this information), our nation,

from over 650 pathogens, viruses, microbes, fungi and parasites.



Upon creating your first batch of Colloidal Silver, you will

find it tastes the same as untreated water. And it won't sting,

even in a baby's eyes.



Congratulations and bon appetit!
