Greetings to the Silver-List! Hi Aimal! In response to your question of what I thought of your theories, I have to say that many of your points are very good ones, though I suspect we will have to do more research to determine how they will hold up over time.

It takes a bit of time and a lot of patience, at least when attempting to make the yellow-gold solutions in larger quantities. Bob Beck's method is very simple. >I do however believe that it is the simplest technique >possible, and that is why it is the "best."

Hondas never break down because they are so >simply built and have no complications in their design. An interest thought. But I have to disagree on the simplicity of the design of the human body. The simplest cell in the human body has more information stored in it than the largest computer in the world. There is also the matter of my Honda never breaking down. :) Efficiency in design, and simplicity of construction, are an ideal combination , in my opinion. I think this is what I am hearing. >In any case, I >feel that the yellow color that we so diligently try to achieve is not the >truly the best all. The clear stuff is the best and will always be or so >I think and "feel.". You may be right. It is possible, IF the particle size is consistently smaller, and IF these solutions can be made more easily accessible to those who desire to have them, I would heartily agree. Accessibility to a very good colloidal silver is much better than not having access to a "perfect" variety, in my opinion. I don't think this will be the case though, the "lamp-cord" generator is turning out , what appears to be, a great batch of colloidal silver. I can hardly wait to get the results on paritcle size and ppm! >Funny thing >was that I produced the clear stuff with a beautiful golden cone.

I found I could save myself a lot of time and headaches by buying a 24-30 volt- 400 mA (AC to DC) adaptor for the wall socket. They will eventually burn out, but if you keep them cool, and give them breaks, they will last quite a while. They run about $9-$12 .retail. depending on where you get them. I don't have a good wholesale source at this time to share, sorry. The folks I had been buying them from, for $7 a piece, no longer have them. Mouser Electronics (a mail order house) carried these. Also, taking extensive notes on all of your experimental work is very helpful in trying to duplicate your results. > I then produced the gold stuff in a weird way.

The Silvicidal depression was >for a week and not as severe as the depression from the yellow silver. The solution was too concentrated. It is important to dilute the solution to aproximately 5-10 ppm (and I like to stay on the low side @ 5ppm). If you are not using an electrolyte and you get a strong solution, the strong taste is due to the increased concentration of the silver. It is better to dilute it, and take a little at a time throughout the day , as you mentioned. I did a similar thing one time in being in a hurry to try a solution to make sure it was safe for others. I had no concern for the inconvenience of a herx reaction. I learned from that one , as you have. > My theory on the yellow silver comes from my experiences with >it.

I disagree on the generation of the effective solution. I thing the low concentration is a "therapeudic solution" as well as the higher concentrations. The way to get the most of the higher concentrations, at least using them internally, is to dilute them first. The water will help carry the particles to the entire body and aid in the elimination of toxins from a cleansing reaction. Drinking a gallon of pure water daily needs to be a regular part of our lives, especially when we are ill, or using a therapeudic method to regain our health. A little lemon juice in an 8 ounce glass of water, taken every hour, will work wonders to restore a healthy PH, which will greatly aid in our efforts. >So >then people heat it to increase conductivity.

It would be neat if we could go down to the molecular level and do a video tape of the action! There is an outfit named Silverado that has a product that contains tremendous uniformity in colloidal particle size and is also yellow-gold. They are out in Utah. They are selling this for about $4 an ounce, and nice people though they are, that is too rich for my blood (when I can make it for a bit less). >Thus, the water soluble "mineral" >or this is how Mark Metcalf refers to the gold color phenomenon, is >actually water.

You are also right that, God does have all the answers, which is all the more reason to ask Him for wisdom every day that we may have more understanding. Thanks for your thoughts Aimal!
