Here's some original research by Ol' Bob, a colloidal silver
researcher and previous member of this list, now deceased.  From his
book.

The History of Colloidal Silver

Silver has been used throughout history by the aristocracy for plates
and drinking vessels, and its use has been a source of protection from
the ravages that affect the mass of humanity. Our pioneers would add a
silver dollar to the milk buckets to prolong the useful life. If you
so choose you can add a tablespoon of your silver product to a gallon
of milk and it will not spoil for weeks.

Prior to the discovery of penicillin there were over ninety US letters
patents of silver compounds for medicinal purposes. It was during 1917
that Dr. Henry Crooke conducted 2,000 tests proving that silver
solutions would kill almost all pathogens. Since ionic silver
solutions could not be patented, the Food and Drug Administration was
moved by the pharmaceutical companies not to approve its use by the
American Medical Association.

For those who want an in-depth look at the history of the use of
silver for human well being I suggest that you visit the Google.com
web site and enter "colloidal silver." Another worthwhile web site is
at www.silverinstitute.org in Washington D. C. You will enjoy the
www.silverlon.com web site as their product has been approved by the
FDA and the AMA.

If the web site is selling a product be careful what you believe about
their product, as everyone thinks theirs is the best.

Circa 1953 there was an article in the Reader's Digest on the role
that silver played in the building of the Burma road during world War
II. Shortly after construction began everything stopped due to
dysentery and diarrhea from the water supply. An English doctor
gathered up a number of D batteries and silver coins, which he took to
India.

The coins were converted into wires about a meter long and one was
soldered on each end of the D battery. The silver wires were placed in
the Lister bags water supply with the batteries on the outside. In
just a few days the medical problem disappeared and the road was
completed.

At that time I was living in La Ceiba, Honduras, and our water supply
was from unfiltered, unprocessed mountain runoff water, and I was
curious about the silver process. At my request the director of the
research laboratory had his personnel prepare twelve petri dishes for
bacterial culture growth.

A water sample was divided into three parts. One part was used to make
a 1, 10, 100, and 1000 dilution sample for the untreated water, a
second set was made for water that was stirred with a silver wire for
two minutes, and the third set was made using water that had been
stirred with two silver wires that were soldered to the ends of a D
battery.

What follows are my personal experiences while investigating the
making of a silver product to be used for human consumption.

The twelve samples were incubated for forty-eight hours so that any
bacteria present would grow. At the end of the incubation period the
samples were viewed with results as listed on the table.

Untreated Water:
1/1 Solid cover of bacterial growth.
2/10 to 3/100 had successfully reduced growth.
4/1000 had five colonies of bacteria.

Stirred Water:
1/1 had a few colonies.
1/10 had less than sample 1.
1/100 and 1/1000 were free of bacterial growth.

Electrolyzed Water:
All four of the culture dishes were bacterially free.
