Colloidial Silver Do it Yourself

[Fuglybugger]

If anyone is interested, here's a supreme article by Peter Lindemann (a man I trust). Didn't see this in any threads, thought it might be useful in case of an epidemic.

Distilled water
30V DC current
Pure silver (try 99.999% silver speaker wire... got mine on eBay)

Thank all of you for participating in this journey. Cheers.

Silver source ($4.50/foot) should last a loooong time.

You might want to read the whole article, but here's an exerpt:


Making Your Own
The simplest way to control these factors is to make the colloidal silver for yourself. By doing this, you will not know exactly what is there unless you do laboratory testing, but you will have a pretty good idea. Without laboratory testing of commercial products, you don't know much more, because the quality control batch to batch is loose with most brands. Also, by making it yourself, you will end up with real "colloidal" silver, which is the product referred to in most of the literature.

If you are already making your own colloidal silver, please pay special attention to this section because much of the information you now have may be incorrect.

The simplest way to make real colloidal silver at home is by the "low voltage electrolysis" method. A few batteries may be connected to some silver electrodes and placed in a glass of water. This process will cause small particles of silver to be sintered off the electrodes and enter the water. This deceptively simple method is very easy to do WRONG, and most people who are making colloidal silver at home are making an inferior product.

It's In The Water
When you do this yourself, it is very important to control the purity of the water, because the purity of the water is one of the factors that controls how small the particles of silver will be. Only high quality DISTILLED water should be used. You cannot use purified or filtered water because it still has too many dissolved minerals in it. You cannot use deionized water because it doesn't conduct electricity well enough to start the reaction. Distilled water is just perfect to start the reaction slowly and let it proceed properly.

Another variable that influences particle size is the water temperature. The warmer the water, the faster the reaction will take place, and the smaller the particles will be.

The Best Is Yet To Come
The very best voltage for the reaction is 30 volts, because the electrodes run the cleanest at this voltage. If you have a small power supply, set it for 30 volts. If you are running on batteries, it is best to start at 36 volts (three 12 volt batteries or four 9 volt batteries) and let the batteries drain down from there. Holding the silver electrodes at a uniform distance away from each other yields a better product.

When 30 volts is applied across silver electrodes held uniformly apart in distilled water, a totally different event happens. First, the reaction proceeds very slowly. Often, for the first 15 minutes nothing seems to be happening. Then finally, a faint yellow mist will begin to form. Within a few minutes, the reaction will speed up, but the particles produced will be a golden-yellow as viewed with a flashlight. Using this method, 8 ounces of distilled water at room temperature can be made into a 3-5 ppm colloidal silver preparation in 20-25 minutes. Made this way, colloidal silver can cost under 10¢/oz to make. Electron microscope photographs of this product show a silver particle size in the range .001 to .004 microns. During manufacturing, the particle cloud is a golden-yellow. These particles will hang in the water at the level they are produced, and for the most part, will not fall to the bottom of the glass. This is what a "colloidal" preparation of silver looks like. After the particles disperse, the water will look clear again, but may turn a light yellow if the concentration is high enough and after the particles have become evenly dispersed.

One downside to this is if you take alot over a long period of time, you turn blue like a Smurf! Ladies and Gentlemen, the real life Papa Smurf! http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/22536241/
Bill "the Doctor"

That guy said he has turned blue from rubbing it on his skin daily for years. I for one, have drank colloidal silver when I felt like I was near death with stomach viruses and felt better within 15 minutes. I also wouldn't doubt with such a great remedy for anything that the media would do anything to scare people away from it.. That blue guy succcccks and has scared away everyone I know from wanting to drink colloidal silver.

Im not blue or grey and I have been using it for over two years.

so thats all BS Just make sure you use clean water

Anyhow, if I do change colors, I will still be ME

[twoRone]

Here is my system and all the components anyone needs to make one

the system complete image #1


the 2nd image showing the power supply and I'll explain my choice of voltage in stating that the smaller the voltage the smaller the colloids and better quality the solution.. it does however take more time. (12 hours for a 9ppm solution) but much less chance of an ionized solution ..I want silver colloids , not ions.


3rd image is a close-up of the cap modifications .. it's just a plastic mason jar lid with two holes for the silver rods (99.9999) and one in the center for the aerator hose that keeps the solution mixing during the process.. I show a battery type but one can use one from a aquarium setup.. not absolutely needed, but does at to the quality and size of colloids.


hopefully the images will help folks that would like to make their own .. just remember the higher the voltage the larger the colloids and closer to ionization one gets.. I'll try to find the article that I read before making this one setup... but anyhow, the smaller the colloid the better the solution can be used by the body. the lower voltage (well under 9v DC) the better and the aeration improves it even further..

[Avid]

This looks familiar! I used a bigger jar and bought a specialist device.

Thanks for the great tips.

I love colloidal and cant begin to tell you all the ways that I have used it and I use it everyday

[Anchor]

I'd like to report a success with colloidal silver. I make my own, 8-9 ppm. (See earlier in the thread). I have not taken any internally yet - no reason to - but I do use it as a mouthwash, for an underarm deodorant and now I have just finished treating an outbreak of athletes foot!

I don't know why I get that - I am definately no longer an athlete Anyway the CS poured on the area and rubbed gently in the morning and evening killed it within 3 days and completely cleared up in 5 and now on the way to healing fully. I use about 10ml at a time for that sometimes 20ml.

[Swanny]

Why don't you drink it?
Would be good to build up inside you to protect you from getting a bug rather than waiting till you do

[Anchor]

I don't drink it because I am currently healthy ( I think ).

I also have a lot of faith in my immune system.

A..

[mntruthseeker]

not just athelete foot..............it will clear up psoriasis by simply rubbing it on the infected area. Takes away the sting and itchiness ASAP

it will work on your scalp and stop itching immediately. My husband uses it after he shaves.

There is nothing that this will NOT clear up. I love it and I will drink some if I eat something I know is not good for me. Like chips, salsa etc

its only mineral water, no harm will come to you, it will keep your system clean

How To Make Your Own Ultra-Portable Colloidal Silver Generator

Ken-Welch.com Notification List, 12 Nov 2009:

Since we believe that the REAL pandemic (the 1918 version or worse) could be only 6 to 8 weeks away, I am bringing out all the remedies and preventives we’ve been keeping in the private area for our donors. The first of these, and quite possibly a life-saver, is a report on how to make your own colloidal silver. This can be a priceless advantage in many survival scenarios. In a time of deadly pandemic, it could be a life-saver.

You’ll see how to make your own ultra-portable CS generator, and how to produce colloidal silver with it. I also review some small commercial units you can order on the web, if you’d rather not build your own.

This report is posted at:

http://www.ken-welch.com/Commentary/Silver1.html

[Lost soul]

Thank you DiVineEnvy for that link on Do it Yourself. I was looking at various units priced from $40 to $250 and thought that it can't be that complicated. All of the units work on the same process as used for plating metal or removing plating from metal. That link you provided is the way to go. All the rest is just marketing.

It also reminds of those "foot baths" that suppose to remove toxins from your body. You sit there with your feet in the clear water. After a while the water turns to brown and then a very blackish-brown. When I learned the special box had steel plates with a current running through it, it became apparent that it color was only rust.

[RASE]

Hello,

I use two stacks of 3 9-volt batteries with distilled water. Works well. A couple observations and questions:
The distance between the electrodes suspended in the water has an influence on the speed of the reaction. Do you know of an optimum distance?

I use two stacks of 3 because one stack of 3 seemed to take a long time. This indicates that the reaction is current dependent as well as voltage. Any idea what the best current is?

The blue skin is from having silver salts which happens from not using pure distilled water, from what I've read. I have a SOTA silver pulser which blood zaps and silver makes and I'm not blue.

Also 1 person who is blue with 1000's usin it suggest to me maybe disinformation... I have read it is good for MRSA and that silver threads are being used in the fabrics by the NHS to counter MRSA.

Of course would the powers that be that have vast somes invested in the pharma industry want this being widely known that the best anti-bacteria agent can be made with two wires and 4 9v batteries?

I generally agree with the method being described in this thread. It is very close to what I have doing for the last 10 years.

It is very important that the purest distilled water be used. Never use water that has chlorides in it. If you have doubt, you can test the water with a sample kit you can buy at any swimming pool store (or Walmart) for testing chlorine levels in pool water.

I agree with heating the water. I personally microwave my distilled water for three minutes to make the water as hot and energized as possible.

In my own setup, I have been using 56VDC from a six battery configuration. I do this with the intention of giving my liberated nanoparticles an extra energy boost from the electric field to hopefully rip apart some of the liberated nanoparticles so that some of them turn into monoatomic, super deformed, high spin ORME state atoms.

I also make sure that I do my electrolysis in the dark. I want my silver particles to be as energized as possible. If I've made it correctly, it will have a sweet flavor, similar to caramel. If it has no ORME state atoms, then it tastes metallic. The key is make sure the solution is not made in a lighted environment. If it is exposed to the sunlight, the ORME state atoms flash out.

The other thing I do is filter my solution before putting into a dark blue glass bottle for storage in a dark closet. When doing the electrolysis, black silver oxide will form a feathery looking build up on one of the electrodes. The other electrode will turn brown. You will also see tiny bubbles of oxygen and hydrogen leaving the electrodes as the distilled water is split. This will become more and more obvious as more ions disperse into the water and allow more current to conduct between the electrodes.

There will be a lot of large particles and "floaties" in the water. Make sure you filter all that stuff out, so only the tiniest particles of the good stuff remains in your glass storage bottle. I always filter my silver solution with SEVERAL layers of coffee filter. I want only the very smallest of the nanoparticles and monoatomic silver remaining in my solution.

Always before doing your electrolysis, scrape your electrodes clean with a greeny pad. This will remove that thin silver oxide layer that builds up over time from the silver wire being exposed to air. You want all oxide gone so that only raw pure silver is exposed to your distilled water.

I usually limit my electrolysis between 10 and 15 minutes. After that, I remove the silver wire and then filter the solution. I usually filter twice before I put the solution into my blue glass bottle.

By the way, I'm still using the same silver wire I originally bought in 1998. They are about six inches long and I would guess are about AWG 14 in size (2 square mm).

I hope these small tidbits of detail from my own experience are helpful.

Merkhava

Hi there sir

I really hope you don’t mind my request could you would you possibly be interested in doing a walk through from materials to setup to procedure to end product of your method of colloidal silver production.

This I believe is very important to everyone here and I personally would so appreciate your expertise and help.

After reading all your posts on this subject you seem more than qualified for such a task.

As I’ve said I would so much appreciate your time and effort and help

Thank you

My love

Dr Robert Beck produced some information concerning Colloidal Silver and making your own, and this info along with other protocols for blood cleansing are shown here.

The information page on making your own Colloidal Silver is at this page.

I have been making my own for some time now, and use a simple setup using pure Silver electrodes which can be purchased very cheaply from Silver Well at just A$20.00 pair of electrodes

"9999+ Silver 18cm Straight Electrodes........$20 a pair
For simple home-made D.I.Y. generators or some other brands of generators. (Not suitable for use in Silver Well generators.) Straight 7" (18cm) 12 gauge .9999 silver electrodes for $20 a pair. This is top quality wire, thicker than the 14 guage wire you'll usually get elsewhere.
Postage for electrode sets is FREE in Australia, NZ, and Pacific. When ordering electrodes use your normal postage address." See Here.


Hope this info helps, there is a lot of info out there on the net about it, and no you WILL NOT TURN BLUE with Colloidal Silver.

[She-Ra]

This is an excellent thread, thank you for all of the information.

I was just doing some general research on colloidal silver and saw a website that is selling it seperately but also with added ingredients - does anyone know about benefits/disadvantages of CS with argentum/MSM?

http://www.colloidalsilveronline.co....-3for2-msm.htm

[Connecting with Sauce]

The SOTA guy and Dr Beck were in discussions if you watch the movie.

The other benefit with investing in pure Silver is that it is a healing metal rather than a 'war' metal as it can be used to make healing pure bars for collidial silver makers

[firstfruit]

The help and info on this thread will save lives blessed are you all

Thank you and my love to you all

just a quick thought:

the old hindu gods had blue skin, didnt they? do you think that may have been from high doses of collodial silver?

come to think of it, maybe thats the miracle behind the "smurfs" phenomenon as well.....

[Greg222]

Here is a great book on Colloidal Silver: COLLOIDAL SILVER by Mark Metcalf.
Gives the history, medical value and how-to-make.
Try going to www.amazon.com for a book purchase... get it used and save cash.

Greg222

PS
If you wish to purchase the colloid directly, I recommend SUPER SILVER SOLUTION. It is a slightly different process for its manufacture, it doesn't oxidize when exposed to light quite so quickly, so it's great for your pet's water bowl.

Note:
Colloidal Silver will NOT make you turn blue

Ionic silver will if taken in large enough quantities.
Where do you think royalty and the other "Blue Bloods" got their name from, they consumed ionic/metallic silver from the silver cutlery and Silver plates they used, which gave them high doses that the "common man" did not get...........
