The protocol was popularized by Bob Beck, a Dr of Science.
He came up with this simplist of methods and used tap water to make it.
He used it himself, daily,for years, by the quartful to be sure that it would
cause no harm before publishing.
Do a search on Bob or Robert Beck. There's lotsa stuff on the net, including the
rest of his health protocols and his lectures.

Distilled water has come to be the preferred medium so that so-called unwanted
compounds are not produced. It takes more time because it is almost a perfect
insulator to the current flow. Once the process starts though, the silver ions
lower the resistance to current as they build up in the solution.

Tap water is very conductive however, and only a few minutes are needed to
obtain product.

I take it straight, daily, by the shotglass, as a preventative. 
Works for me!!!
Just to stay honest, I have graduated to a high-voltage-AC method using a neon
sign transformer 12000 volts.
I don't think you want to go there!
