How to Make Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is the result of changing the molecular structure of silver and suspending it in a solution without changing the substance itself. Although the Federal Drug Administration does not recognize colloidal silver as safe or effective as an oral or topical antibiotic, naturalists have used silver medicinally for centuries, and there is a simple method of making colloidal silver with a few easy to find items.
Things You'll Need:
6-volt DC transformer
2 alligator clips
2 pure silver coins (the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf has 1.2 oz. of .9999 pure silver)
Distilled water
Fish tank oxygenation bubbler with about 2 feet of neoprene tubing
Glass quart jar
Small airtight glass container (a dark colored medicine bottle with an eye dropper is ideal)
1
Gather your supplies together, and make sure everything is clean, especially the coins.
2
Clip the DC connector plug off the end of the transformer wire, leaving the wall plug wire intact. Only working on the cut wire, separate the wires and strip 1-inch of the insulation off, being careful not to damage them.
3
Connect each bare wire to an alligator clip, and crimp or solder them to secure them in place.
4
Find two pure silver electrodes, which in this case are your Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins. Clamp the clean coins to opposite sides of the glass jar, with the alligator clamps.
5
Run the tubing to the bottom of the jar and then fill it with 8 oz. of distilled water up to the bottom of the clips. Make sure the metal on the clamp is well above the distilled water, because you only want the coins to be submerged.
6
Plug the transformer and the oxygenation unit into electrical outlets, and let the water bubble for about 5 hours.
7
Unplug the units, remove the coins, thoroughly clean off the residue and store them until you need them for making colloidal silver again. You'll probably be able to make more than you'll ever need for medicinal purposes with these two coins.
8
Purify your colloidal silver further by siphoning it into your storage bottle with the tubing instead of just pouring it in.
Tips & Warnings
Store your solution of colloidal silver out of direct sunlight, away from direct heat or strong odors and keep it away from magnetic fields, such as computers and microwaves.
Argyria is a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin and other body tissues, which is a side effect caused by a buildup of silver in the body. Other possible side effects, from using colloidal silver, may include kidney damage, headaches or skin irritation. It may also interfere with the body's absorption of some medications. Therefore, you should talk to your health care provider about any alternative medications, or treatments you are planning to use.
