Hello All This article was sent to me by a person that is doing some research with CS. He has asked that his name not be mentioned until a latter date. I don't know any more than appears in this post. I hope more will follow.

Attorney-investigator John Loftus about a substance called Movidyn which the Russians found being produced in the satellite state of Czechoslovakia. They were more than a little concerned and removed the plant because Movidyn was found to be an effective antidote against every microorganism in their bio-warfare arsenal ! Then, Loftus said Movidyn was a powder form of colloidal silver ! Since pure drinkable water may become a life and death issue in this country within the next 12 months, I became very interested. My investigations have only proven half of what I'd like to know but I am convinced that colloidal silver is definitely an amazing substance. I'll share what I have determined so far. Firstly, the pure Coll.. Ag should be generated slowly in pure distilled water (no salt or other additive) with a 27, or preferably, 36 volt source, and with .999 pure silver electrodes. Carried to a self limited end point ( where electrode oxide forms too rapidly to continue generation), a strong solution is produced which is colorless and crystal clear at the time. But after 12-24 hours (store in a dark place), the solution accomplishes what is called colloid dispersion whereon it turns a beautiful yellow-gold to amber-gold color- the deeper, the higher the colloid content. Still the solution is crystal clear. Now, at the time of generation, or after dispersion, you can appraise yourself of the presence and concentration (relatively) of the colloidal silver content via the 'Tyndal effect' method. This is best done with one of these laser pen lights. In a dark room you direct the light beam through the solution (in a glass container). The colloid particles will cause the appearance of a distinct shaft of white light through the solution, sometimes as distinct as a shaft of wood. (Pure water will give no such effect at all.) In my work, I have not had the advantage of quantitative ' parts per million' analysis of the solutions I have generated.(I understand that such is a little expensive.) So far, I have bent my investigation toward anti-bacterial studies. In these studies, I have used CDC standard pathogenic organisms- Staph.aureus, beta hemolytic streptococcus pyogenes, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis and Bacillus subtillus (spore former), and Escherichia coli. Test suspensions of these organisms for testing have been BHI broth type at concentration of approximately one million organisms per cc. In other words, so far I have tested with an overburden of bacterial concentration. Shortly, I will test for effect with lightly contaminated specimens.(as I can find time!) So- my delightful findings so far are these- with a strongly generated Coll.Ag. Sol. used against very strong suspension of each of the above mentioned organisms: If I inoculate 2 cc. Ag. Sol. with one drop (50,000 organisms), I get a total kill in less than 3 minutes. (total kill determined by subculture of the Ag. and organism mixture to a Blood Agar plate and incubating overnight); then I can take the original Coll. Ag. solution and make dilutions in distilled water at 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64 etc. Then, when I inoculate these dilutions with the above pathogens I can get a total kill of all six types all the way to the 1:32 dilution with an exposure time of 3 minutes! That has been very impressive to me. I realize that I now need work of a finer nature but I first wanted to prove the raw kill power of Coll.. Ag. for myself. I think that a 1:32 dil.. that will kill pathogens at 50,000 org. per drop in less than 3 minutes is really something.( And when I say kill I mean there is not one colony on the Blood Agar plates, and I always run a control plate on each organism suspension which demonstrates the viability and count.) I am convinced that with lighter, more realistic concentration of the organism and more than 3 min. reaction time, much greater dilution of the Coll.. Ag Sol.. will
