A Finely Divided Form of Metallic Silver
by Michael Moone, DriLube Company, Glendale, CA
There is little defense against a common biochemical attack, and what
few antidotes exist are withheld from the public as military secrets.
One of the best documented and best known examples of this is the 1953
"discovery" of Movidyn by the Soviets in the effluent from an old mining
operation at Joachims-thal in Czechoslovakia. Movidyn is a form of
colloidal silver -- odorless, tasteless, and cheaper to refine and
produce than chlorine disinfectancts. One part per billion of powdered
Movidyn in water has a powerful germicidal effect! In a series of
studies of infected groundwater wells, it completely etroyed typhus,
malaria, cholera, and amoebic dysentery. Containers washed in Movidyn
retained their germ-fighting qualities for several weeks. The substance
would be a cost-effective prophylactic against most of the waterborne
diseases that infect the Third World. Silver is a naturally occurring
contaminant found in numerous zinc metal ores. It is typically found in
large quantities in the still pot residues of standardized industrial
zinc refining and galvanizing processes. Technical personnel involved in
the galvanization operations taking place adjacent to the Joachimsthal
mine, cleaned the "spongy" residues from the galvanizing retort,
filtered the solid (silver) from the wastestream, and disposed of the
wastewater in a foul-smelling, algae-laden stream. The solids killed all
of the algae along with the stink, leaving only sweet-tasting water:
this was the birth of Movidyn. "Personnel cleaned the "spongy" residues,
filtered the solid and disposed of the wastewater in a foul, algae-laden
stream. The solids killed all of the algae along with the stink"
Part 2
This residual solid silver material found by mining engineers in the
waste solids generated at Joachimsthal (then part of Germany) and
described in the literature of the period (1885 -- 1890), was simply
utilized as a source of bullion silver metal. During that period,
Movidyn was produced by dissolving 99.9995% pure Silver (15% by weight)
into triply-distilled, electrolytically-refined Zinc, sintering the mass
until completely fluid at temperatures below the boiling point of the
Zinc present, and then raising the temperature to the point where the
zinc would distill from the unmelted Silver (c.925oC), which was left in
an extremely fine (submicron) state. In 1928, Dr. E. Krauss infused
small uantities of the Platinum Group into this finely divided silver
material, thereby activating the metal and increasing the surface area
of the Silver particles. The resultant material - Katadyn- proved an
extremely active sterilization agent for drinking water. Other silver
products are also described in older European literature, but these
appear to be either fusions or mechanical admixtures of silver with
other mineral substrates: Uglow (black) Silver Sand, for instance,
appears to be an ultra-fine powder of a fusion of silver with manganese.
In 1954, the Soviets constructed a facility for the development of
biological warfare in Joachimsthal, now in Czechoslovakia. They used
water from nearby streams and, for landfill, solid residues from the old
mining operations; to their astonishment, the minute traces of the
landfill dusts carried throughout the facility disinfected every germ
warfare bacteria in the Soviet arsenal. This dust - Movidyn - was so
effective, the Czech factory was carted back to the Soviet Union.
Analytical information on Movidyn was apparently suppressed, but so have
all reports of germ warfare experiences that went wrong.
