Currently Preferred Silver Colloid Making Apparatus, Means and Method
For information and educational purposes only, not medical advice.
Copyright 1993 Robert C. Beck, D.Sc. Revision 28 February 1997
To easily and rapidly make unlimited quantities of good quality
silver colloid concentrate for ~1 cents per gallon (plus water
costs) you'll need three 9 volt type MN1604 regular alkaline
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, 10" pure silver wire, and a foot of 2-conductor stranded
insulated wire for clip-leads. This should cost under $20 maximum
for everything and take about 35 minutes to assemble from scratch.
This design is "idiot proof" and simple to use. It makes an
odorless, tasteless, colorless fast and powerful antiseptic and one
of the most remarkable healing agents known. The entire colloid
making process takes about three minutes per 8 OZ batch for ~3 ppm
laboratory tested concentration at room temperature.
Use three snap-on connector clips for the batteries. Solder them
in series (red to black) to provide 27 volts. Connect a 24 volt
incandescent lamp in series with either (positive or negative)
output lead. Solder a red insulated alligator clip to the positive
(anode) and a black insulated clip to the negative (cathode)
2-conductor lead wires. Insulation is shrunk over soldered
connections using a heat gun or match. Use ONLY pure silver (.999
fine) electrodes. #14 gauge (AWG) is the preferred size. Pure silver
is sometimes available at electroplating supply companies,
foundries, precious metals dealers, etc. Do NOT use "Sterling"
silver (.9275 or other) since Sterling contains copper and nickel.
Nickel can be toxic. WARNING Sterling is sometimes passed off for
electrodes with commercial colloid makers through ignorance or by
entrepreneurs who are trying to cut corners and save money. Discard
them as hazardous. Use only triple distilled or de-ionized water for
injectable colloid. Single distilled water makes the best
transparent colloids BUT its higher resistance takes up to half an
hour to make a 5 ppm concentration. Tap water is O.K. for most other
uses but contains chlorine which may produce some AgCl which is
harmless but gives a mirky appearance as will any salt (NaCl) which
should be avoided.
Bend top ends of silver electrode wires to clip over rim of plastic
or glass container. Leave about 4 inches of bare electrodes
submergible in the working solution (water). Spacing between
electrodes is not critical. There is no on-off switch, so process
starts immediately when alligator clips are both attached to
submerged wires, however most commercial colloid makers do have
switches which must be on when using. Process stops when either or
both clips are disconnected. If bulb glows visibly, proceed and let
current flow for about three minutes then remove clips, stir, and
you are done. If bulb doesn't light or you see only a faint reddish
glow, proceed longer. Do not add any salt. You may observe
smoke-like plumes of pure white ultra fine grain silver against a
dark background as colloid electrolytically sinters off the anode
(positive polarity side of battery; red lead) and drifts into
solution. Stir thoroughly before using or storing and shake each
time before using. Three minutes activation of ~8 OZ of properly
conductive water at ~72F gives ~3 ppm (parts per million) strength.
Each additional 10 degrees F, will double ppm for a given time.
Yield also depends on water conductivity, surface area of
electrodes, amount of current, and time. ~3 minutes makes a stock
solution which can be safely used full strength for anything. But
its best to charge water by itself and add this to other foods or
liquids as desired or drink it directly. Overdosing with any amount
is considered unlikely for metallic Colloid, but silver PROTEINS can
be harmful, toxic, and stain skin (Argyria).
The 24 volt, 40 mA miniature bulb acts as an ideal ballast, current
drain indicator, current limiter, and battery condition check for
the apparatus. I found aircraft "grain-of-wheat" lamps (Precision
Lamp, Inc. part #10238) in surplus for $0.50 each. You can
momentarily short-circuit clip-leads together without harm; the bulb
will simply light brightly. Also the visual brightness while
operating gives an accurate indication of tap water conductivity.
With distilled or de-ionized (high resistance) water, you will see
no glow. Make and store colloids only in electrically non-conductive
containers such as dark brown glass or plastic such as prune juice
bottles or hydrogen peroxide containers, never in metal. Suggested
adult dosage of silver colloid can be one to several OZ stock
solution straight or added to 6 to 8 OZ of water taken not more than
three times in 24 hours. Consult your health professional. An 8 OZ
glass may be ingested directly with no harm or side effects
according to some manufacturers.
Clean electrode wires after each use to remove dark oxide occurring
on anode because the oxygen (produced electrolytically) oxidizes
silver. Cut a small piece of 1/4" thick nylon Scotchbright(TM)
kitchen scouring pad to polish dried silver, then wipe with paper
napkin to make silver ready for next use. A fresh set of 3 alkaline
batteries will make hundreds of 8 OZ batches of three-minute silver
colloid before battery replacement becomes necessary. Periodically
check batteries by momentarily short-circuiting tips of alligator
clips together to observe whiteness and intensity of light. When
bulb appears significantly dimmer or looks yellowish after time,
replace all three alkaline batteries. Pry snap connectors off, tape
3 new cells together, and replace snap-on clips. Be VERY careful not
to crush or damage the fragile little in-series lamp.
Colloid concentration and purity is readily checked by viewing
back-scatter of a laser beam as a passes through your finished
solution (Tyndal/Rayleigh effect). Use a 1 to 5 milliwatt laser
diode pointer (630 to 670 nanometer wavelength) that makes a small
spot at several feet, not just a "light emitting diode". Look into
the beam at about a 15 degree angle. (Point beam through solution so
spot hits your chin or lips. Never look directly at source; this can
injure your eyes.) Laser pointers retail for about $30 at some
computer or parts outlets such as Fry's Electronics. Surprisingly
the inexpensive pointer from Radio Shack does not perform
satisfactorily for this particular application; other Radio Shack
models (~$69) do.
Stir your fresh batch with a plastic (non-conductive) fast-food
disposable knife and store in a dark brown container. KEEP AWAY FROM
LIGHT as even room light will degrade colloids rapidly by turning
solution gray or black just as exposure to light darkens the silver
in camera film. Light can also neutralize positive charges on silver
ions that help keep particles in suspension. Keep colloids cool but
do not refrigerate or let freeze. ALWAYS SHAKE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY
EACH TIME BEFORE USING. After evaluating many different instruments
and methods, this paper describes what is easily the best
performing, least expensive. simplest and most convenient method for
producing good quality silver colloids presently disclosed. It has
been fully tested and found to work much better than expensive,
dangerous and complex devices. However it does not work with metals
such as gold, which require much longer times. This stand-alone
appliance works all by itself, and never requires high voltage,
ignition coils, transformers, underwater sparking, or "plugging in".
It goes in your pocket and will work anywhere. It is essential for
sterilizing local drinking water when travelling. (See accompanying
suggested uses article.) You can make any desired concentration in
parts per million by electrolyzing at higher temperatures. There is
no heat or waste, and it cannot shock you. There is no need to stir
during processing however stirring or shaking is essential before
storing and each time before using. Filtering is generally
unnecessary. Don't add preservatives, minerals, EDTA, proteins,
gelatin, coloring (some makers add yellow dye to make it appear
"golden" and even honey to slow precipitation), or any other
substances. If purchased at market prices commercial colloids could
cost up to $60 for 8 OZ of generally vastly inferior products. Most
available colloids on today's market when evaluated prove to be
practically worthless. (At a recent health expo, in my opinion out
of eight brands tested only two were found to be adequate in
quality, suspension, and concentration. Many contained additives
such as EDTA, coloring and gelatin for suspension.) This paper
describes an easy way for anyone to make his own for only a small
fraction of a penny. It seems ridiculous to buy it for high prices.
You can now afford to use colloids universally, such as in laundry
water for sterilization, as a disinfectant spray, rinse for fruit
and vegetables, fungicide, bactericide, plant spray, pet health
assurance, and hundreds of other applications. Drinking dilute
silver colloid is claimed to safely kill over 650 pathogens,
viruses, microbes. fungi, and parasites within minutes and is said
to give you a second intact immune system. Side effects or
overdosing are claimed unknown, and resistant strains of
disease-causing pathogens never develop. Most users ingest
lactobacillus acidophilus, bulgaricus, yogurt, etc. to replenish
friendly intestinal flora.
Warning! Multi-level entrepreneurs hoodwinked by profit motivated
promoters generally protest that THEIR colloid is "better,
finer-particle size, purer, improved suspension, more golden, made
by some expensive top secret proprietary process, etc." or other
usually absurd rationalizations to justify outrageous prices. Just
offer to test both at an independent laboratory. This do-it-yourself
process makes a perfectly satisfactory colloid with a four year
track record of excellent results. Should you wish to make "golden
yellow" silver colloid simply start with 8 OZ of hot distilled
water, add no salt or soda or other ionizing material and leave
electrodes in for 30 minutes. Keep very dark. You'll easily produce
a "golden" color. And beware of products describing themselves as
"Silver Protein" compounds. These may be toxic and can cause tissue
and skin staining (Argyria) as does Silver Nitrate.

A FEW UNIQUE PLUS TRADITIONAL USES FOR SILVER COLLOID
For information and educational purposes only, not medical advice.
Copyright 1995/1997 Robert C. Beck. Revision 28 February 1997
When you control a source of penny-per-gallon make-it-yourself high
concentration silver colloid (see attached how-to page) you can use
it for hundreds of health improvement applications. A few are
suggested here. You can use most tap water to make colloid for
industrial and external uses and distilled or de-ionized water for
internal or injectable applications.
Add to suspected drinking water when travelling or camping. Colloid
sprayed burns heal rapidly without scarring. Safely sterilize
anything from toothbrushes to surgical instruments. Use topically on
cuts, wounds, abrasions, rashes, sunburn, razor nicks, bandages.
Spray on garbage to prevent decay odors. Mist kitchen sponges,
towels, cutting boards to eliminate E. Coli 0157:H7 and salmonella
bacteria to prevent food poisoning, gastrointestinal inflammation,
and genital tract infections.
Add when canning, preserving, bottling. Use like peroxide on zits
and acne. Add to juices. Milk will delay spoiling, fermenting,
deteriorating, clabbering or curdling. Spray in shoes, between toes,
between legs to stop most skin itch, athletes foot, fungi and jock
itch. Diminish dandruff, psoriasis, skin rashes, etc. Add to bath
water, gargle, douches, colon irrigation, nasal spray and dental
water-pic solutions. Cuts downtime dramatically with colds, flu,
pneumonia, staph, strep, respiratory infections and rhino viruses.
Skin itch, eye and ear infections, some moles and warts vanish when
colloid is sprayed on body after bathing. Use with Q-tip on
fingernail, toenail, and ear fungi. Neutralize tooth decay and bad
breath. Colloid stops halitosis by eliminating bacteria deep in
throat and on back of tongue. Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics,
silver colloid never permits strain-resistant pathogens to evolve.
Put a few drops on band-aids and bandages to shorten healing times.
Health professionals might consider IV and IM injections. Tumor and
polyp shrinking is reported when masses are injected directly (when
colloid is added to sterile physiological saline or Ringer's
Solution which contains ~9000 ppm sodium chloride). Toothaches,
mouth sores, bacterial irritations are diminished. Soak dentures.
Spray refrigerator, freezer and food storage bin interiors. Stop
mildew and wood rot. Mix in postage stamp envelope, and tape
moistening wells, paint and paste pots to prevent bacterial growth,
odors, spoiling or souring. Add to water-based paints, wallpaper
paste, dishwater, cleaning and mopping solutions, etc. Spray pet
bedding and let dry.
Spray on top of contents of opened jam, jelly, and condiment
containers and inside lids before replacing. Mix a little in pet
water, birdbaths, cut flower vases. Always add to swamp cooler
water. Spray air conditioner filters after cleaning. Swab air ducts
and vents to prevent breeding sites for germs. Use routinely in
laundry final rinse water and always before packing away seasonal
clothes. Damp clothes or towels and washcloths will not sour or
mildew. Eliminate unwanted microorganisms in planter soils and
hydroponics systems. Spray plant foliage to stop fungi, molds, rot,
and most plant diseases.
Treat pools, fountains, humidifiers, Jacuzzis, hot tubs, baths,
dishwashers, recirculating cooling tower water, gymnasium foot dips,
and bath and shower mats. Spray inside shoes, watch bands and gloves
and under fingernails periodically. Treat shower stalls, tubs,
fonts, animal watering troughs, shavers to avoid trading germs.
Rinse fruit and vegetables before storing or using. Put in cooking
water. Human and animal shampoos become disinfectants. Prevent
carpets, drapes, wallpaper from mildewing. Wipe telephone
mouthpieces, pipe stems, headphones, hearing aids, eyeglass frames,
hairbrushes, combs, loofas. Excellent for diapers and diaper rash.
Do toilet seats, bowls, tile floors, sinks, urinals, doorknobs.
Kill persistent odors. Rinse invalid's pillowcases, sheets, towels
and bedclothes.
There are literally thousands of other essential uses for this
ridiculously inexpensive, odorless, tasteless, colorless, totally
benign and easily produced powerful non-toxic disinfectant and
healing agent. You'll find that a spray or misting bottle of silver
colloid solution may be the most useful health enhancement tool in
your environment.
