I just finished making two batches of colloidal silver using Beck's (Action Electronics) device.
I am starting from scratch; I have no previous colloidal silver solution to use as a starter solution. In making one batch, I did not add any salt to the 8 oz of distilled (Arrowhead brand) water. I left Beck's device on for 5 minutes; then turned it off. During that 5 minutes, I did not see any "clouds" form or appear to be "steaming off" from the silver electrodes. I did observe "bubbles" form all along one of the silver electrodes. In making the other batch, I did add one drop of the salt solution previously recommended by Beck. The instant that I turned on the Beck device, I could easily see "milky clouds" steaming off from the silver electrodes and that continued throughout the five minutes. At the end of five minutes, I turned off the Beck device. Questions: 1. Does the absence of "milky clouds" indicate that colloidal silver is not being generated? 2. Why did Beck change his recommended procedure and decide not to add a drop of salt to the 8 oz of distilled water? I am going to check Peter Lindemann's article and see what he says about salt. Thanks for the help. H. Davis
