Eu am folosit 3 baterii de )* legate in serie. Intre electrodul de la anod si baterie am pus un
rezistor de 1,+,-hm. Rezistorul este folosit pentru a limita intensitatea curentului. .rocesul s/a
desfasurat pe durata a 05 si de minute pana cand am obtinut argint coloidal de culoare galbena.
Este important cat timp este mentinut procesul si intensitatea curentului. ?aca procesul este mentinut
prea mult apa -se intuneca/, adica isi pierde culoarea galbena, ceea ce inseamna ca in solutie au fost
eliberate particule prea mari.
+ntensiteatea curentului poate fi redusa reducand volta<ul pe masura ce procesul se desfasoara. Cu cat mai mult argint
se afla in apa cu atat apa conduce mai bine curentul electric si intensitatea curentului creste. ?in acest

1ipuri de $rgint #oloidal
Cele trei tipuri de produse pe care consumatorii le eticheteaza drept -argint coloidal/ pot fi impartite in
urmatoarele categorii: solutii ionice din argint, proteine din argint si argintul coloidal adevarat.
G"olutii ionice din argint
)area ma<oritate a produselor etichetate si vandute drept argint coloidal fac parte din aceasta categorie
datorita gradului de comple*itate redus la producere si a costului de productie redus. Continutul de
argint din aceste produse consta si in ioni de argint si particule de argint. +onii de argint sunt produsi de
electroliza si pot fi descrisi ca -argint dizolvat/. Produsele obtinute prin electroliza sunt frecvent
descrise ca -electro coloizi/. ?eoarece ma<oritatea continutului de argint in aceste produse este mai
degraba argintul dizolvat decat particulele metalice din argint, ar fi mai corect sa descriem aceste
produse ca solutii din argint.
Reclamele pentru aceste produse frecvent pretind ca ionii de argint sunt particule metalice mici sau
descriu produsele constand in particule ionice de argint. +onii de argint nu sunt acelasi lucru cu
particulele de argint si cei doi termeni nu sunt interschimbabili. Argintul ionic este numit si argint
monoatomic si hidrosol de argint @de*: &I2R-"3%, hidrosoluri, s. n. "istem coloidal solubil Hn care
mediul de dispersie este apa.A de unii producatori care aleg sa nu descrie produsul lor folosind
terminologia stiintifica corecta. Acestia sunt termeni de mar0eting folositi pentru a ascunde adevarul ca
ceea ce este vandut este o solutie ionica de argint.
#um sa iti dai seama daca un produs este ma4oritar $rgint Ionic
"olutiile de argint sunt de obicei clare ca apa sau o usoara tenta galbena. Aceste produse sunt clare
doarece argintul care este dizolvat in apa arata precum zaharul sau sarea care este dizolvat in apaI nu
apare vizibil. Producatorii de solutii ionice de argint vor sugera ca argintul coloidal ar trebui sa fie clar
ca apa, dar asta este incorect.
Companiile care vand argint ionic pretind ca produsul lor este -argint coloidal adevarat/ incercand sa
creeze confuzie printre cumparatori. 'u te lasa pacalit. ?aca produsul este clar, atunci este argint ionic
nu argint coloidal adevarat. Particulele coloidale, cand sunt prezente in concentratie suficienta, absob
lumina vizibila determinand coloidul sa prezinte o -culoare aparenta/. Culoarea aparenta este
complementul lungimii de unda absorbite. +onii din argint nu absorb lumina vizibila si asadar apar ca
lichide clare fara culoare.
)ulti producatori de argint ionic recomanda ca produsul sa fie pastrat doar in recipiente din sticla. 4nii
specifica doar culoarea chihlimbarului sau sticle de cobalt deoarece produsele lor sunt fotosensibile si
se deterioreaza cand sunt e*puse la lumina. Adevaratii coloizi nu au aceste probleme.
#um sa testezi pentru $rgint Ionic
Pentru a ne da seama daca o solutie este argint ionic, trebuie doar sa adaugi ioni de clorura. "area de
masa obisnuita, care este clorura de sodiu, este buna. ?aca ionii de argint sunt prezenti ionii de clorura
se vor combina cu ionii de argint si vor crea o aparitie innorata. Pentru a forma un nor care este vizibil
este necesar ca o cantitate suficienta de ioni de argint sa fie prezenta, de obicei in <ur de %&ppm sau
peste. Adauga 7&(8& de ml de argint ionic intr(un pahar transparent. Adauga cateva grame de sare.
Ebserva daca, pe masura ce sarea se dizolva, un nor alb de clorura de argint se formeaza in solutie.
?aca este asa, in final, intreaga solutie se va transforma in nor. ?aca mai multa sare este adaugata,
clorura alba de argint va deveni mai dense pana cand toti ionii de argint s(au combinat cu ionii de
clorura disponibili. ?aca nu sunt prezenti ioni de argint nici un nor alb nu se va forma. Aici e
smecheria: 4nele produse nu vor forma un nor alb de clorura de argint cand este adaugata sarea de
masa deoarece ele nu contin argint deloc, sau foarte putin argint. #rezi sau nu, analize de laborator
au aratat ca unele produse din 5argint6 nu contin in realitate argint7
?iferenta intre ionii de argint si particulele de argint consta in faptul ca ionii de argint se combina cu
ionii de clorura pentru a forma clorura de argint in timp ce particulele de argint nu fac asta.
8olosirea in siguranta
Jeneratoarele de -argint coloidal/ vandute pentru a face acasa argint coloidal ca hobb2 produc toate
solutii ionice de argint. ?eoarece produsele ionice argint contin un procent scazut de argint sub forma
de particule, ele au toate o suprafata mica de particule relativa la continutul total de argint. Argintul
ionic nu este lipsit de merite. Argintul ionic nu este lipsit de merite. Argintul ionic este un puternic
antimicrobial si serveste bine in situatiile in care clorura nu este prezenta. Cand clorura este prezenta
@inauntrul trupului umanA, particulele de argint continute vor supravietui pentru a produce beneficii.
Produsele ionice din argint, cand sunt luate in concordanta cu dozele recomandate de producatori, nu
vor cauza argiria, o conditie care face ca pielea sa devina albastru(cenusie.
!olboroseala 1ehinca, %imba4ul inselator si "tiinta 8alsa
>ermenul coloidal inseamna particule nu ioni, dar producatorii de produse din argint ionic vor incerca
sa convinga cumparatorul ca produsul lor este un coloid de argint. Punctul comun in ma<oritatea
reclamelor care vand produse din argint ionic @etichetate ca argint coloidalA este ca pretind ca ionii sunt
particule din argint, sau ca incearca sa abureasca distinctia folosind termenii unul in locul altuia. E alta
smecherie comuna este sa prezinte imagini de la o >ransmisie a unui )icroscop Electronic care pretind
ca arata particule mici gasite in solutia lor. Aceste imagini nu arata particulele de argint din produse.
Citeste despre >ransmisia +maginilor de la )icroscopul Electronic pentru a invata ca aceste imagini
sunt inselatoare. 4n alt siretlic este folosirea -Colboroselii >ehnice/, prin care termeni care suna
credibil sunt folositi pentru a impresiona cititorul nefamiliarizat cu ei. Colboroseala tehinca incearca sa
atraga atentia cititorului departe de stiinta adevarata si sa se concentreze asupra termenilor si ideilor
lipsite de sens dar care suna important. +ntr(o abordare legata, reclama sau eticheta vor include
e*plicatii stiintifice care folosesc termeni si idei din ale campuri ale stiintei care nu sunt aplicabili
chimiei solutiei si coloizilor. ?e e*emplu, in campul stiintei nucleare, o particula este considerata a fi
orice obiect atomic a carui greutate este mai mare sau egala cu greutatea unui electron. +ncercarea de a
defini un ion de argint ca o particula prin a folosi aceasta definitie este esenta a ceea ce este de obicei
considerat stiinta fictiva.
9.roteina de $rgint :a,a .roteina de $rgint !landa;
Produsele din proteina de argint sunt pe locul doi ca prevalenta printe asa(zisele produse din argint
coloidal de pe piata. Aceste produse constau intr(o combinatie de particule metalice din argint si un
liant de proteina si poate fi produs cu usurinta doar prin adaugarea apei la pudra de proteina din argint
vanduta de diverse companii chimice.
)a<oritatea produselor pretind ca sunt concentratii mari de argint coloidal @de obicei in <urul valorii de
7& pana la :&.&&& ppmA sunt de fapt coloizi de proteina de argint. +n timp ce unele din aceste produse
sunt etichetate ca Proteina de Argint sau Proteina de Argint Clanda, multe asemenea produse sunt
simplu etichetate ca argint coloidal si cuvantul proteina nu apare nicaieri pe eticheta sau in literatura de
reclama a produsului.
Produsele din proteina de argint au in general particule de argint largi, asa de largi incat ele nu raman
suspendate ca particule coloidale fara aditivi de proteina. Aditivii de proteina a<uta la impiedicarea
particulelor mari sa se depuna. +n timp ce diversi lianti de proteine pot fi folositi, proteina cea mai
obisnuita folosita este gelatina, care facuta prin fierberea pieilor, tendoanelor si ligamentelor
animalelor. Pentru ca particulele metalice de argint largi sa ramana suspendate in apa, ele au nevoie de
flotabilitate aditionala pentru a le impiedica sa se scufunde. )oleculele de gelatina vor incapsula
fiecare particula de argint si vor adauga suficienta flotabilitate astfel incat sa nu se scufunde la fund.
Prezenta gelatinei creaza un risc de bacterii si este unul din pericolele folosirii acestui produs.
?intre cele trei tipuri de argint coloidal, produsele din proteina de argint au cea mai mica suprafata
pentru concentratia de argint, facand argintul inaccesibil pentru absorbtia umana in siguranta si mai
putin efectiv pentru consumul uman. Aria suprafetei particulelor, asa cum vom vedea mai tarziu, este
singurul cel mai important factor determinant al eficacitatii argintului coloidal.
1estarea pentru .roteina de $rgint
Pentru a afla daca ai un produs din proteina de argint si nu un coloid adevarat din argint, uitate la aceste
caracteristici:
GKace spuma: Cand este scuturata, un produs de proteina de argint produce spuma deasupra lichidului
care va persista timp de cateva minute dupa ce a fost scuturata. Acesta este probabil indicatorul cel mai
sigur. Chiar daca produsul este etichetat ca fiind argint coloidal simplu si nu mentioneaza deloc
cuvantul proteina, aceste indicator va semnala prezenta unui liant de proteina. "cutura sticla si uita(te
dupa spuma. Cand spuma persista, proteina este prezenta.
GConcentratia: Produsele din proteina din argint tind sa aibe valori ale concentratiilor foarte mari, de
obicei in <urul valorilor de 7& L :&.&&& ppm. Concentratia este e*primata in parti pe milion @ppmA si
este numeric aceasi ca miligrame de argint pe litru de apa @mg.A.
GCuloarea .: Culoarea este situata intre cea a chihlimbarului deschis si aproape neagra cu marirea
concentratiei de argint.
.ericole<
G?atorita concentratiei mari de particule mari de argint, produsele din proteina de argint sunt cunoscute
ca producand argiria, o conditie care cauzeaza pielea sa devina albastru(cenusie.
GAdaugarea proteinei la argintul coloidal este de asemenea potential nesigura deoarece bacteria,
conform profesorului Ronald Jibbs care a discutat acest fapt in cartea sa -Coloizi din Argint/. E a
descoperit produse din -proteine blande din argint/ care au bacterii vii ce cresc pe proteina. Aceasta se
intampla cand proteina este amestecata cu argintul coloidal deoarece moleculele de proteina sunt largi
si incapsuleaza particulele de argint, care impiedica argintul sa a<unga la bacterie si sa o omoare. +n
mod normal, ar fi imposibil ca bacterii sa traiasca in argintul coloidal, dar este obisnuit in produse
continand proteine. ?in aceasta cauza, Profesorul Jibbs recomanda ca produsele din proteina de argint
sa fie efitate. Aici este citatul profesorului Jibbs: / A cincea mostra considerata a prezenta clustere
pufoase in <urul particulelor de argint cand sunt privite in apaF. Asa cum suspectam, aceste materiale
fluorescente pufoase indicau ca materialul era, intradevar, bacterie vie care crestea pe gelatian care
fusese folosita aparent pentru a stabiliza suspensia de argint.
=$de*aratul $rgint #oloidal
Produsele cu argint coloidal adevarat sunt cel mai putin prevalent tip de argint coloidal pe piata datorita
comple*itatii ridicare la producere si costurilor ridicate de productie.
+n argintul coloidal adevarat, ma<oritatea continutului de argint este sub forma particulelor de argint.
Coloizii adevarati contin de obicei mai mult de 8&% particule @adesea 8& L ;&%A, in timp ce balanta @:&
L D&%A vor fi ioni de argint. Cand ne referim la argintul coloidal, cuvantul coloid inseamna particule de
argint.
Cei doi factori critici care trebuie cercetati pentru determinarea coloizilor adevarati sunt procenta<ul de
particule de argint si aria suprafetei particulei.
?intre toate tipurile de argint vandute ca fiind coloidal, produsele din argint coloidal adevarat au cea
mai mare arie a suprafetei particulei. Aria mare a suprafetei particulei este dobandita printr(un
procentra< mare de particule de argint combinate cu marimea foarte mica a particulei. ?intre cele trei
tipuri de argint pe piata, coloizii adevarati de argint au cea mai mare arie a suprafetei particulei relativ
la continutul total de argint. Raportul dintre aria suprafetei particulei si continutul total de argint indica
cat de eficient coloidul poate sa produca aria suprafetei particulei care determina eficacitatea. Eficiente
de conversie cat mai inalte sunt de dorit.
Particulele de marime nanometrice in coloizii adevarati de argint raman in suspensia coloidala fara a
necesita proteina sau alti aditivi. Este respingerea reciproca a particulelor create, prin incarcatura zeta
potentiala care pastreaza particulele uniform distribuite in coloid.
2eterminarea $de*aratilor #oloizi de $rgint
?atorita concentratiei mari de particule de argint, coloizii adevarati de argint nu sunt niciodata clari
precum apa. Argintul coloidal adevarat cu concentratie suficienta de particule nu arata precum apa
deoarece particulele de argint M chiar particulele foarte mici M blocheaza lumina sa treaca, facand
lichidul sa apara mai inchis.
.ericole
?atorita concentratiei foarte mici de argint ionic si marimii mici a particulei, coloizii adevarati de
argint nu cauzeaza argiria, o conditie care determina pielea sa devina albastru(cenusie.

&oG to ma,e colloidal sil*er<
Please note that this is the procedure that we used for many
years in making colloidal silver.
1) What you need -
4 9v batteries
Clean glass
Distilled water
4! or "! silver wires
1 multi meter
1 resistor ##k ohms
# alligator clip leads
1 laser pointer $you can check our "%&nm and "#%nm red laser pointers)
) Instructions -
Please note that this procedure will allow you' with practice' to make (uality colloidal
silver in the range of % to 1& PP). *his will e(ual the (uality of anything that you are
likely to buy in a store. +ou will e,pect to gain some e,perience by allowing the process
to continue until you get a slight yellow hue to the water. *he resistor is necessary in the
circuit and prevents a !runaway! condition that is common to procedures than try to do
without it. -n the days before we had laser pointer' we did not know that we actually
made colloidal silver until we could see the yellow color. +our aim is to continue the
process and until you see the red beam in the water itself and to stop it before it turns
yellow. *his will give you the smallest particles that are possible to generate using this
method.
.fter you purchase the four nine volt batteries' you can proceed with the making of your
first batch of colloidal silver. /e have taken some pictures of the various components and
showing how the parts are hooked up. 0ere are two pictures showing the way the nine
volt batteries end up being connected in series' that is positive to negative positive to
negative and so on.
. resistor with little loops already formed at each end. Put the probes from the multi
meter inside the loops. 0ere is the picture.
.ttach an
alligator
clip from
one of the
1umper
cables $it
doesn2t
matter
which
one) to
one of the
test leads
tip points
as shown.
3epeat
the same
procedure
with
another
test leads.
.ttach an
alligator
clip from
the
unused
1umper
cable to one of the battery terminals that is still e,posed and the other end of this cable
clip onto the end of one of the lengths of silver wire.
+ou are almost there. 3emember the two 1umper cables that you attached to the resister
and test probes4 Choose one of those and attach the free end to the remaining battery
terminal that is still e,posed. .ttach the free end of the remaining cable to the other
piece of silver as shown.
5ow we are ready to test our generator.
*urned the control on the multi meter to two hundred volts DC as shown in the picture.
/hen the two silver wires are separated it should read 6ero volts.
/hen you touch the two silver wires together' this causes the voltage to flow through the
resistor and the meter will read appro,imately thirty si, volts' which happens to be four
times nine.
*his is a good time to remember to turn the multi meter off when you are not using it. -t
does not automatically turn itself off as the more e,pensive models. -f you leave it on for
a few days you will end up having to buy yet another nine volt battery for it.
5ow' you need a very clean glass. +ou need to rinse it many times with tap water and
then finally rinse it also with some of the distilled water $we buy ours from /al7)art)
that you will be using to make your colloidal silver. *hen fill the glass almost to the top
with your distilled water.
*he electrodes should be placed on opposite sides of the glass as shown.
.ttach the two free ends of the alligator clip leads that have been shown before.
*he voltmeter should be turned on at this point. .s you can see the voltmeter reads four
volts.
*his is the voltage that is being
dropped across the resister. *he
reading of four volts indicates that the
current in milliamps is &.1 ma. *his is
the ma,imum amount that is allowable
in terms of how good your distilled
water is. -f it reads any more than this
you need to find a better source of
distilled water.
-n order to speed up the process we
have moved the electrodes closer
together so that we might generate
ions more (uickly. *he more ions in the water' the higher the conductivity of the water'
and this allows more current to flow.
/e will now allow the process to
continue. +ou will be able to see in the
following pictures the fact that the
voltage across the resister continues to
climb over time.
8nce we build it up to a certain voltage
volts or so' we move the electrodes
back to their original position' opposite
one another.
/hen we do this we will see the voltage
on our meter temporarily drops in value
as there is more water to cross and
therefore the resistance increases. *he
voltage will continue to rise as time
passes. *here are many variables
involved in how long it takes for the
solution to reach a level of ma,imum -onic concentration. 9or one thing the temperature
of the water is a factor. *he resistance of the water will decrease as the temperature
increases.
-n any case' patience is now called for. :ecause we are using four nine7volt batteries in
series our voltage is thirty7si, volts. *he reading across the resistor will continue to rise
until we cannot generate any more ions. .t this point the voltage across the electrodes
will be appro,imately si, volts. *hat means that appro,imately thirty volts will be across
the resistor and will be shown on the voltmeter.
*his is the point at which our red laser
pointer comes into play. .ctual particles
will start to form now' as the ions will
start to cluster together and no longer
e,ist as ions but clumps of silver atoms
forming colloidal silver. -f these clumps of
atoms e,ceed a diameter of forty
nanometers our water will begin to take
on a yellow tinge. ;ong before this our
laser light will detect the colloidal
particles' as laser light has the ability to
be scattered by even very small particles
as it travels through a medium' in this case water. *he less ambient light that is present'
the easier it will be to see the presence of the particles. *he whole purpose is to achieve
the ma,imum amount of colloidal silver while limiting the particle si6e. 8nce the
voltmeter approaches thirty volts start using your laser pointer' preferably in the dark.
.s the process continues the beam will
still be visible even in normal room light.
.t this point you will be done and you will
have made a solution of colloidal silver as
good or better than anything you can buy
at any price.
.t this point you may well be saying to
yourself !- don2t have the time to be
constantly checking this thing with my
laser pointer and my variable room light
and so on and so forth so that - know
when it2s done. - do after all have a life to
live outside of this colloidal silver
business!.
-n the interest of putting your mind to
rest we have allowed the process to
continue for twelve hours beyond the
point at which we would normally disconnect the electrodes' put our colloidal silver in a
suitable clean container' clean the electrodes' and get on with our life. .s you can see in
the following pictures the amount of actual silver in the water' 1udging by the intensity of
our red laser beam' has very much increased.
8ur water has also ac(uired a slight yellow hue. *his indicates that we have particles in
e,cess of forty nanometers but still small enough to stay in solution.
:efore we had the advantage of a red laser pointer we continued the process until we
saw the water turn yellow. *hat was the only way that we had to know that we were
making actual colloidal particles as well as silver ions. *he yellow colloidal silver made by
this process was used very successfully and the particles were still of a si6e that will do
no harm. /e know that the -onic portion of what we call colloidal silver is of the most
direct benefit for many conditions. *here are some conditions that only the actual
particles of silver' not ions' will be effective to address. /e will not go into any specifics
in this regard as doing so will violate regulations imposed by the food and drug
administration. *he 9D. is not a bunch of bad guys trying to limit our access to useful
alternative medicine. *hey have a tough 1ob to do' made tougher by many unscrupulous
characters e,isting in the alternative medicine world promising miracles. *here is a great
deal of information available on the net about the uses of colloidal silver. +ou will have to
use your own good 1udgment in perusing this. <eep in mind the ma,im that !if it2s too
good to be true' it probably isn2t!. -t is also a good idea to keep very much in mind that
someone is probably trying to sell you something. 8kay' back to our overcooked colloidal
silver.
+ou can see
that there is
now (uite a
large build up
on both of our
electrodes.
*hey will
re(uire a good
scrubbing and
we use a green scrubbing pad that we buy at 0ome Depot.
+ou will notice
that (uite a lot of
the silver was not
able to stay in
solution and has
ended up plating
some of the glass
and as a sort of
sludge beneath
the electrodes.

.fter we decant and filter our overcooked colloidal silver using an unbleached coffee
maker filter and a funnel we will now need to get rid of the silver deposits on the glass.
Please note that had we stopped the process at the proper time' this would not be
necessary. /e could simply decant it into a storage container.
+ou will still need to rinse out this glass with distilled water before you make another
batch. *his was done simply to show that there is no need to worry about simply
forgetting to stop the process. -f you let it run for days and then we would suggest
throwing it out and starting over. *he colloidal silver that we made while taking these
pictures we are keeping for our own use when we feel we need a very strong batch.
