The best quality colloidal silver is produced by the electro-colloidal or non-chemical method. This process creates a truly homogeneous solution of super-fine silver particles, around 0.005 - 0.015 microns in diameter, that are suspended in water without the need of a chemical stabilizer, dye, or any other ingredient.
Electro colloidal silver is produced through electrolysis, when an electrical current is passed through an electrolyte containing two silver electrodes. Many people are now using a simple silver colloidal generator to produce large quantities of colloidal silver at home.
In a colloidal silver generator water always acts as the electrolyte. The amount of action shown by the water during the process depends on three things: the type of water, any additives, such as salt, added to the mixture and the strength of the current being passed through the electrolyte.
When using tap, filtered or mineral water in the process, cloudy white streams will quickly begin emanating from the silver rods. This is not, as is often believed, colloidal silver being formed, but a result of impurities in the water. Salt introduces chloride ions into the water which react with the silver to form silver chloride.
The high levels of activity seen are also due to the increased levels of conductivity in the water. Indeed, until recently, a number of practitioners advocated adding salt to the water to increase its conductivity and thus reduce the time taken to complete the process.
However, a high reaction speed will create large particles of silver, thereby reducing their rate of absorption into the body. Pure distilled water is therefore the preferred electrolyte.
When using distilled water no visible reaction is noticed at first, although an electrolysis reaction begins, and electrons start moving between the two rods as soon as they are introduced.
This is due to the very low semiconductor quality of distilled water that only allows for a small movement of electrons between both rods. It is this movement of electrons between the silver rods that sinters off the silver into the water; therefore, the lower conductivity slows the reaction. This is ideal, as keeping the reaction speed to the bare minimum produces only the smallest particles of silver.
As the process continues a small discoloration will be seen on both rods. On the negative rod, neutral silver, that is silver that has no charge, will begin to form. On the positive rod a dark brown substance may begin to form.
This is silver oxide, and while harmless, large flakes are an undesired addition to the final product. To reduce this, only the highest quality pure silver wire should be used. Near the end of the process small bubbles will begin rising from the negative rod, this is a simple and harmless hydrogen gas.
At the end of the process an ultra fine silver cloud solution begins to peel off the positive rod, as soon as the solution around the rods is mildly cloudy, the process is finished.
Care should be taken not to overrun, as if left running, the brown silver oxide will begin to form in greater quantities and could contaminate the final product. There is also a point in the process when the speed of the reaction begins to produce large particles. For this reason timing and purity are vital elements in the process.
The color of the final product should be clear or a very light yellow, anything else is a clear sign of impurities or large particles in the solution. Great care should be taken if using a basic silver colloidal generator to avoid overrunning, and it is recommended to use one of the newer models with an automatic shut down feature.

The particle size of colloidal silver is important for two main reasons: Firstly, smaller particles are more likely to be absorbed by the body in a useable form. To be effective, colloidal silver particles should be small enough to be absorbed under the tongue and through lung tissue. Secondly, the size of the particle has a direct effect on its surface area.
The particle surface area of a colloid is the key factor in determining its effectiveness. The greater the surface area of colloids exposed to the areas of interest; the more effectively the particle will interact with its environment. The surface area of colloidal particles actually increases as the particle size decreases.
For example, if the amount of silver in a silver dollar was rendered into 1nm particles, the surface area would be equal to 4.115 million times the surface area of the original dollar. So it becomes clear the smaller the particle size and the larger the quantity of the silver colloids, the greater the surface area will be and the more effective the treatment will become.
To ensure that particle size is controlled, a great deal of care must be taken when using a colloidal silver generator. The electric current passing through the liquid must be kept at low voltage in order to adequately sinter the silver from the electrified source. As the voltage becomes too high, greater amounts of silver are stripped from the source too quickly. The process speeds up, and as the process speeds up, the particle size increases.
Distilled water helps keep the electrical current low as it acts as a fairly good insulator, and has a fairly strong resistance to electron flow. However, as the silver particles and ions start to accumulate, the resistance of the water decreases. The reason for this is as follows. As the silver is stripped away during the process, it becomes ionized and dissolves into the water.
To become ionized simply means to take on an electrical charge. As the ions dissolve into the water, the water becomes more and more conductive, the current then increases, and the whole process speeds up.
Some of the ions are able to attach themselves to each other, and by doing so, cease to be ionized. As the current increases and the process speeds up, the silver particles are stripped from the electrodes in greater numbers.
The particles become larger and are able to attract more and more ions. Once clumped together, as they no longer carry an electrical charge, they are effectively just pieces of silver floating in the liquid. The process will continue accelerating until the particles become too large to remain in suspension and fall from the liquid as sediment.
If your colloidal silver generator has a fixed voltage, this can be a problem and the timing of the process becomes crucial to both the size of the silver particles and their concentration within the batch.
There are a number of techniques that can be used to prevent large silver particles from forming. If the mixture is stirred, it will disperse the ions, preventing them from coming together. Some new colloidal silver generators come with a mechanical or magnetic stirrer which will keep the problem under control. Alternatively, the use of a wooden spoon to agitate the mixture at regular intervals can be employed.
Thermal heating or bubbling carbon dioxide through the mixture have also been used to keep the ions apart. These methods both come with drawbacks however. Heating the water too much can in itself lead to increased particle size. While any apparatus used to introduce the carbon dioxide could inadvertently introduce dust particles or gasses from the tubing or pump.

There are a number of reasons to make your own colloidal silver, but the main one for most people is cost. A typical 4-oz. bottle of colloidal silver can cost around $30, but to make your own can end up costing only a few cents per quart. Once the initial outlay on a high quality colloidal silver generator is made, the only costs incurred thereafter will be the distilled water at around a dollar a gallon and around $25 every few years replacing the supply of pure silver wire. In fact once up and running, making silver colloidal at home can cost as little as 36 cents a quart.
Making your own colloidal silver also gives you more control over the purity and quality of the solution. Recent tests have shown that only around 43% of bottled colloidal silver actually contained the concentration listed on the label. Many products may also contain dyes, stabilizers, proteins or other additives. There is also no way of knowing the true particle size, even when listed on the label; as this is often an exaggerated or arbitrary figure.
To make colloidal silver yourself you will need: a colloidal silver generator, pure silver wire, distilled water and a brown glass jar or bottle for storage.
Colloidal silver generators can be made at home relatively simply. All that is needed is a small power supply or four 9 volt batteries, pure silver and a glass container. The optimal voltage for the reaction is 30 volts, however if using batteries it is best to start at 36 volts and let them run down.
Two strips of pure silver wire are then attached to the power supply, one to be positively charged and one negatively charged. The silver should then be suspended in distilled water contained in a wide mouthed glass jar or container. It is critical that the container is made of glass and not plastic, as plastic may create a static charge which could interfere with the ionization process.
While these basic homemade generators will produce colloidal silver, the end product will invariably be of a lower quality than that produced by one of the new high tech generators available today. This new breed of colloidal silver generator controls the timing, voltage level and the agitation of the water during all stages in the process to guarantee both consistent size and a correct concentration of silver particle in the final product.
It is vitally important to control the purity of the water as this is one of the main factors determining the particle size in the finished product. Only the highest quality distilled water is acceptable in the process. Spring and filtered water will still contain too many dissolved minerals that will interfere in the process, and deionized water does not conduct electricity sufficiently to start a reaction, so should also be avoided.
The other vital ingredient in the quality of the final product is the silver. Only pure elemental silver should be used to prevent impurities entering the solution. Most home producers of colloidal silver use 99.9% (0.999) pure silver in their product, however current literature states that 99.9999% (.9999) pure silver should be used. This ensures that no impurities at all enter the solution from the silver, and the purest possible product is produced.
Finally, it is important to preserve the quality of the final product by storing it correctly. Ultraviolet light and many plastics can strip the particles of their charge and lead to the re-coagulation of the particles. Colloidal silver is best stored, therefore, in dark glass containers. The two most suitable kinds of glass are dark amber and cobalt blue.

Colloidal silver has been marketed as something akin to a magic potion by organizations that specialize in the field of alternative medicine. They see it as an effective antibacterial supplement which is superior to modern day antibiotics. The one problem supporters of colloidal silver face is the fact that medical evidence does not support their lofty claims. Of course, accusations have been thrown around by those in favour of colloidal silver including suggestions that medical evidence which dismisses it was collected by those who have a vested interest in antibiotics.
It has even been suggested that the amount of profit made by companies who manufacture synthetic drugs and doctors who prescribe them is a good enough motive to ignore alternative medicine. Companies who sell colloidal silver suggest that their product is easy to digest and is able to fight bacteria in a way synthetic drugs cannot.
Explaining Silver
There are dozens of different dietary supplements containing silver. It can be confusing to a consumer because there is colloidal silver, ionic silver and silver proteins amongst other forms of the metal within these supplements. This can make it difficult for customers to figure out what their supplement does for them.
Yet silver is quite easy to understand. It has positively or negatively charged ions with three different positive charges. Only the singly charged ion is stable in the majority of solutions. Colloidal silver normally comes in the form of uncharged silver particles combined with positively charged ions which are suspended in solutions such as ionized water or saline. Most companies use vague labels which do not distinguish between the different forms of silver. Labelling a product “silver proteins” helps no one because it could be any combination of silver ions. Consumption of colloidal silver leads to silver ions being released in the body but no one knows at what rate this occurs.
Good or Bad Bacteria?
Companies that market colloidal silver suggest that its main benefits include fighting bad bacteria. Various experiments have found that silver particles enter the body and become attached to bacteria cells. The silver also stops bacteria from creating new protection which makes them even more open to attack from antimicrobial agents. Effectively, bacteria are unable to resist colloidal silver and become stronger which happens when synthetic drugs are used too often on a patient.
However, a large hole appears in the colloidal silver theory. There is no evidence to suggest that the silver particles only attack harmful forms of bacteria. This means colloidal silver is capable of killing good bacteria just as easily as harmful strains. As this news damages the claims of colloidal silver companies, they skip the issue entirely or come up with vague solutions such as consuming live culture yoghurt one hour after taking colloidal silver. Apparently, this should create good bacteria in your system once more.
The Side Effects of Colloidal Silver
An extremely rare condition known as Argyria is caused by overexposure to silver. It would appear that an extreme overdose of colloidal silver is required for this to happen however. It has also been suggested that high quality silver is excreted from the body thus avoiding excess amounts of silver remaining in the body. These silver deposits are what cause Argyria and the resultant grey skin colouring. Laboratory tests on rats have also revealed that reduced liver function is another effect of colloidal silver if too much is consumed.
It would seem that colloidal silver is more toxic than magic and should be avoided until clearer scientific evidence is found. Certainly, sensational claims relating to colloidal silver including its ability to cure cancer need to be ignored. All available research suggests that colloidal silver may have antibacterial properties but there is no way of knowing how effective it is. There is also the possibility that it will kill good bacteria which will quickly lead to ill health.

Many people have heard about the positive advantages found within a colloidal silver solution. But few people realize just how effective this treatment option really is. Colloidal silver is a collection of silver particles which have been suspended in a liquid. Nano sized—these silver particles are really tiny and can be applied for different human use. There are many health benefits to using colloidal silver. For instance, silver is used in hospitals for the medical treatment of people who have suffered by burns. By using colloidal silver, the growth of scar tissue can be prevented. This is because of its proven ability to stimulate the regeneration of human cells in the skin.
Colloidal silver can also be used as an anti-bacterium, anti-fungal or anti-viral agent. It effectively kills harmful bacteria and viruses when applied. Colloidal silver is able to achieve this because of its ability to kill organisms via a chemical process known as catalytic oxidation. When exposed to colloidal silver, harmful bacteria in the affected are killed while viruses which require important proteins and enzymes for their effective function have these striped or disabled by the actions of silver. Today, many hospitals provide silver infused bandages in order to give extra protection.
As well as these, colloidal silver can also be used in the protection of your respiratory system. It is no secret that the air around is filled with many harmful pathogens and viruses. Sometimes these viruses are inhaled and make their way to our respiratory system where they eventually get absorbed into our circulatory system.
Breathing silver solutions easily addresses this. From the inhalation of colloidal silver, the lungs of people are provided with added fortification against the many pathogens that make their way in. Breathing colloidal system is also the most effective way of delivering the beneficial properties to the body. Once it is inhaled, solver is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream which carries it all round the body. This is much faster than the digestive system which would have required that the silver solution first be digested by the body.
Colloidal silver dosage varies depending on its use. It is recommended that people refrain from exceeding 2 tablespoons as a daily maintenance dose. If silver is being inhaled, then 5-12 inhalations should be done daily.
Although there are some who have fears about the possible toxic effect of silver, these fears are unnecessary. Countless research has proven that in low quantities the effects of silver particles are completely healthy.
If you plan on regularly using colloidal silver then you should consider the benefits of making your own. Being able to produce your own colloidal silver will allow you to cut down on how much you spend every month. You also will no longer have to worry about going through the tedious motion of ordering your silver solution every week. With a colloidal silver generator, all the silver that you need can be made from the comfort of your home at no added cost.
It is however important that you choose a colloidal silver generator that is truly effective. Well prepared colloidal silver solutions can last for longer than a year if properly stored. You should therefore ensure that your solutions are kept in polarized bottles. This will prevent them from being degraded by the harmful actions of UV rays. The use of plastic bottles is also not recommended for long term storage as these might easily affect the silver content. However, if you do decide to opt with this means of storage you should choose containers that are made up of PET, HDPE or PETE plastic.
