Hi Ken
I was wondering if you could help me I really need an unbiased
opinion of colloidal silver. I recently bought 2 generators made to DR Beck's
standards in Australia and have been using it for 2 months. to make a solutions
of about 5ppm.I drink it at full strength to treat myself for some immune
deficiencies caused by mercury poisoning. a company calling itself http://www.invive.com/
is saying that these machines produce nothing but silver ions and this solution
is useless at best and toxic at worst.
Have you heard of them and what do you say to their claims?
They also contradict their own products by saying that silver can turn you
gray or blue if taken in large doses. Especially if the PPM is high which
is what they sell.??????? (up to 10,000 ppm) I would value your opinion
highly as I know that you met the good DR in the past and have good knowledge
of the benefits of C/S
Best Regards
Nick Fragiadakis

Hi Nick,
You're hearing a real mishmash of BS and hype.
Let's review:
If you make CS using a DC source such as batteries, you are
engaged in electrolysis. Electrolysis works this way: an atom of silver
will come off one electrode because of electrical attraction from the opposite
electrode (both electrodes placed in water). When the atom comes off the
electrode, it is stripped of one electron from its outer electron shell.
This gives the atom a net POSITIVE charge because it's missing one electron.
Whenever atoms are missing either an electron, or gain an extra electron,
it's then called an ION. So all CS solution made with low voltage DC current
are producing IONS of silver. The main reason that the silver atoms will
remain suspended in a CS solution is due to the fact that they are ions
and REPEL each other and therefore bounce all around the solution trying
to get away from each other. It works the same way with magnetism.
The scare story about turning the skin blue or gray refers
to a rare conditon called ARGYRIA.
It can't happen with CS made by electrolysis because you just
have plain silver atoms, not molecules. There is another type of product
called "colloidal silver' that contains silver bound to a protein and
is correctly called Colloidal Silver Protein (CSP). THAT type of 'colloidal
silver' could 'possibly' produce Argyria, but you would have to take a lot
of it for many years and even then, very few people get it anyway. It's
really quite rare. There has been a huge PROPAGANDA and DISINFORMATION campaign
going on since the mid 1990's -orchestrted by the drug companies and their
stooges- to scare people away from using CS by using the exaggerated and
misdirected Argyria scare story.
There is nothing toxic about CS. A test was conducted some
years ago (reported in our book, Silver, The Forgotten Antibiotic), in which
lab mice were given only plain water to such an extent that they eventually
died from excessive water loading. The mice who were given only colloidal
silver, lasted an average of 17 days longer when forced fee the same amount
of CS. In other words, that test proved that CS is less toxic THAN PLAIN
WATER.
A lot of companies selling CS play games with the ppm numbers
because no one is checking on them and holding them accountable. The only
way to find out the correct number is to send the sample into a lab and
get the lab report. I checked on one CS product in the health food store
a few years ago that said their solution was 1200ppm. A solution of DC produced
CS that concentrated would be opaque (it's different for high voltage produced
CS) The solution was ACTUALLY less than 3ppm.
When making the CS, you should use distilled water (in a glass)
that was brought to a boil and kept warm using an insulated mug around the
glass.
Go for a golden color like the color of light beer and you
should have something in the 10-15ppm range.
Bob Beck was using a standard CS generator design in which
the current runs in the same direction . A friend named Daniel Wolf found
that reversing the current every two minutes would prevent current runaway
and give you a much nicer CS solution without those puddles of silver forming
at the top of the glass and that's the idea I incorporate in my CS generators.
After Bob bought one of the generators I made, he told me that it produced
the BEST CS he ever had seen. He got a higher dowser reading from CS made
with my unit than any other CS he tried or tested. And I didn't even ask
him to try or buy my stuff or give me his opinion. He wanted to test it
on his own and was surprised at the dowsing reading he got from mine. After
that, I saw him carrying around my CS generator in a plastic bag whereever
he went. I was blown away by that since I learned all about making your
own CS from Bob Beck. By the way, I wanted to give him my generator, but
he insisted on paying me for it.

Dear Ken,
Thank you for taking the time to explain this in a form that I can understand.
I am at peace now as my children are also taking small doses of the solution
to treat tinea on their feet as a result of using the public showers at
the local swimming pool.
I also treated my son for a nasty burn to the leg and it has virtually disappeared
in a matter of a couple of days.
