Colloidal Silver.
It is well known that the quality of homemade electrochemical colloidal silver varies with every batch made. While some of this variance can occur due to mechanical and/or operator malfunction, such as improper voltage due to low batteries, the use of impure waters (other than distilled), incorrect duration of electrode contact, etc., there are other factors which play an important role in producing high quality electrochemical silver colloids. The research work of Eugen and Lily Kolisko in the 1920s and
30s introduced the idea that certain celestial events had a profound
effect on metals, and that the ancient traditional relationships between
specific metals and planets could be demonstrated via laboratory experiment.
The process of these experiments involved placing cylinders of special
filter paper into dishes which held measured amounts of the various
metal salts. Then, the capillary patterns which subsequently emerged,
could be studied with reference to specific solar system events (a complete
detailed description of the This information prompted the idea that lunar influence could produce exceptional differences in the quality of electrochemically produced colloidal silver. We immediately began preparing the necessary experimental equipment for the upcoming lunar eclipse (March 23, 1997, 8:45PM PST). Two CS-300 colloidal silver generators were used for the electrochemical process and a digital countdown timer would ensure that each batch ran for the exact prescribed time of 20 minutes. The first and second of four batches were initiated just prior to, and during the eclipse, and the last two just after the eclipse. The electrodes were checked and cleaned before each batch was run to ass ure a consistent voltage throughout the experimental run. The water used was distilled and was provided from the same bottle, and then pre-measured into 8 oz. glasses of identical size and make. Normal batches of colloidal silver produced in this way yield a count of about 6000 to 8000 ppb (parts per billion) of silver. It had been noted with earlier batches of colloidal silver that a simple taste test easily detected differences in quality. Some batches would produce a heavy metallic taste, while others had no distinguishing differences from plain distilled water. After the eclipse experiment was completed, an initial taste test was conducted on the four batches. The first batches run just before and during the eclipse were perceptually absent of the characteristic metallic taste usually associated with a strong batch of colloidal silver. The two batches after the eclipse proved very metallic in taste. These samples along with a control were then taken to a local lab for analysis. The results shown in Figure 1 indicate that the amount of silver began to decrease nearing the eclipse, with a reduction to 1900 ppb during the eclipse. The last batch revealed a rise toward normal levels. This data strongly suggests a lunar influence on the electrochemical
production of colloidal silver. But, the lunar influece presides over
other factors which are a part of the experimental test setup. Most
are familiar with the lunar effect on tides, and going back into the
distant past, many understood that the moon exerts a powerful influence
on water itself. Folklore and fact abound with tales of lunar influence
upon water, moisture, and other liquids. Plutarch instructed that the
full moon caused such an increase in moisture that it made timber, wheat,
and other grains which were cut at this time more likely to become decayed
and rotten. If cut at the new moon, they would be dry and The medieval medical practise of bleeding was to be governed according to lunar phases and their attendant proportions of moisture. Dr. E. J. Andrews, in 1960, confirmed that bleeding is worse around full moons than at any other time. Thousands of post-op records were compared to the dates of lunar phases showing a remarkable 82 percent of post-op bleeding episodes occurred on or around the full moon. Several other researchers and doctors would confirm his findings. The medicinal effects of many folk remedies were also governed
by the phases of the moon due to fluctuating moisture content. Bread
was said to rise and leaven better during a full moon, owing to a better
retention of moisture. There is a vast catalog of such correspondences
between the moon and water, and more still with recent scientific investigations.
G. Piccardi, a pioneer on water structure and water activation, demonstrated
that cosmic energy forces are important factors in the modification
of standardized laboratory chemical and phase-change experiments. He
also discovered The moon is not without its effects on electricity and electrical conductivity. Variations have been recorded in the electrostatic strength of the atmosphere caused by lunar-phase influenced fluctuations in ionization. H.S. Burr discovered that the electrical potential of trees climaxed during full moons, and was unrelated to fluctuations in barometric pressure, humidity, or the weather. The only outside influence the tree’s electrical potential fluctuation kept pace with was that of the changing phases of the moon. L. Ravitz found that people also possessed peaks of potential difference in accord with full and new moons. E.K. Bigg observed over an 81 year period that magnetic storms peaked in intensity just after full moons, and were lightest around new moons. Disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field have been found to follow lunar cycles. It is obvious that these associations indicate that the entire process of the electrochemical production of colloidal silver is ruled by lunar influence. For that matter, all chemical processes are inextricably directed by celestial authority. It is essential to understand then, when the most propitious times occur to conceive these suspensions. With respect to the production of colloidal silver, lunar influence tables must be consulted. We know that tides are a direct manifestation of lunar forces, but there are also atmospheric tides which play an important role in the understanding of how the moon affects chemical reactions. D’Alembert, in 1746, was the first to discover lunar tides in the earth’s atmosphere. Atmospheric tides attend daily and monthly lunar cycles similar to ocean tides. High tide is observed when the moon is directly overhead or on the exact opposite side of the earth. This is called upper and lower transit respectively, or "souths" and "norths". The highest atmospheric tide can be measured as air pressure, and occurs at lower transit every day. These daily high tides peak twice a month at new and full moons. The highest tides occur when the full or new moon is at perigee (closest approach to the earth), and higher still when the new or full moon at perigee crosses the ecliptic, or geometrical plane formed by the path of the earth’s orbit. From a quantitative viewpoint, these tides are extremely small causing the barometer to rise only .001 inches in a day. This influence is location dependant, and may be as much as three times higher near he equator as it is in middle latitudes. This still seems too quantitatively minuscule to have any effect on silver electrodes in an 8 oz. glass of water. Here we must turn to the work of John Alden Knight. In the mid 1920s, while fishing with a friend, he was told about the folkloric "moon-up/moon-down" theory. The basic premise is that fish feed only at certain times of the day, and that the best times could be found when the moon was either "southing" or "northing". Knight went on to develop this theory over the next few decades into what is now known as the "Solunar" (combining Sun and Moon) theory. Of course, this theory didn’t just apply to fish, and he would discover that animals, including humans, would become more active and have more energy at these times than at all other times of the day. One might wonder why they wake up in the middle of the night full of energy only to consult the tables Knight created, and find that a Solunar period was in progress. These periods last anywhere from 1½ to 3 hours dependant on the moon’s relationship to other celestial processes. Minor Solunar periods are indicated during the rising and setting times of the moon, and Major periods are indicated during the two transits. These periods are, of course, location dependant, and Knight has created tables which are available for every major fishing location in the country (see references). The easiest way to roughly calculate this for yourself is to add 6 hours to the rise and set times for the moon. If you are connected to the Internet, you can obtain moon rise and set times for your local area for the entire year by going to the Naval Observatory’s website at http://riemann.usno.navy.mil/aa/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html. Once you have these, simply add 6 hours to the daily rise or set time to find the major periods. These appear to be the best times for the production of colloidal silver. If on a new or full moon, even better. Although we haven’t had lab tests done on every batch (the cost is $40 per sample), taste tests and light yellow color confirm a fairly good batch every time they have been made during major Solunar periods. Minor periods produce a somewhat fair batch, and in-between times have consistently yielded a poor quality colloid. Other moon factors to consider are high and low runs/rides, and the traditional full moon names. When the moon "Runs High", or "Rides Low" on the equator, this refers to how high the moon is in the sky that day. The moon is always highest for that day when it souths, but its height above the southern horizon at southing varies during the month. It’s at its highest above the horizon when it souths on a "Runs High" day. It’s at its lowest on a "Rides Low" day, which happens about two weeks later. On the celestial equator, the moon is about halfway between these extremes and this occurs twice during the month. This is caused by the interaction of the moon’s phases and the seasons. For the Northern hemisphere the midsummer full moon is always low in the sky, whereas the midwinter full moon is nearly overhead. The traditional names of the full moons for each month of the year represent the qualities possessed by each individual moon. For example, "Harvest Moon" in September was said to be responsible for the ripening of produce. To the Romans, Diana’s day fell at the time of the Harvest Full Moon, and offerings were made to her at this time to ensure the ripening of their fruits. Some of the names associated with each month’s full moon are derived from the traditional Algonquin Native American or Colonial Full Moon Names as follows: January Wolf Moon, Old Moon, Winter Moon, Yule Moon. While this is fascinating from the standpoint of folklore, no correlations have yet been made between these full moon names and their respective qualitative influences. The Solunar theory seems to hold true at all times of the year, but can be slightly altered by these other factors, and delicate adjustments to your tables (plus or minus a maximum of 45 minutes) would then be in order. As you become familiar with these Solunar periods, you will also begin to notice how many other daily events are directed by the moon’s influence. Once the connection has been made, there is no turning back, and many new discoveries concerning celestial influences will surely appear in time. The practical benefits of these correspondences are starting to reveal themselves to us in many ways, and hopefully will point us in the direction of a greater quality of scientific endeavors.

DISCLAIMER
AS does not make any recommendation
as to the use or effectiveness for any purpose of colloidal silver. AS Colloidal
Silver generators are solely for use as a "dietary supplement". This
statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product
is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
It must be first re-emphasized that colloidal silver generators available from
AS are intended for use solely as dietary or nutritional supplements. The promotion
of colloidal silver as a treatment for a specific medical condition is not possible
because the extensive (and astronomically expensive) FDA approval processes
for a new drug application have not been completed.
That being said, there are many references to supplemental doses that have been published. One such reference is found in an article entitled, "Using Colloidal Silver - Usage Philosophies". This article reiterates: "It should be noted that while colloidal silver use is quite widespread, there are no standardized formulas due to the fact that no conclusive research has been conducted that demonstrates an ideal (or effective) dose for any condition."
This article continues with several possible supplemental usage possibilities. The first is the "Mineral Supplement Ideology". "Many people believe that mineral depletion in the world's farming soils has seriously reduced the amount of natural minerals in the average diet necessary to maintain a state of good health. Those who use colloidal silver as a mineral supplement generally take about one tablespoon of colloidal silver daily (about 75 micrograms of silver.) Taking colloidal silver in these small amounts on a daily basis is generally felt to be an illness preventative with no associated risks." Note: One tablespoon equals 15ml, so 75mcg of silver intake would result if the solution was at a concentration of 5 ppm. A similar dose would result from the consumption of 1/2 a tablespoon of a 10 ppm solution. From the prior EPA guidelines we see that a balanced diet would normally yield 90mcg of silver, assuming the fresh foods were grown on non-depleted soils. A diet deficient in fresh fruits and vegetables would theoretically also be deficient in both silver and most other trace minerals.
The next dosage ideology discussed in this article is "Therapeutic Doses (internal). Many people use colloidal silver on a need only basis. Generally, one ounce is a common therapetic dose taken at the onset of symptoms, taken daily until symptoms subside. Another preferred method is to consume multiple doses spread throughout the day. Those who practice multiple doses usually take one ounce twice to four times daily, feeling that this produces a sustained and cumulative effect throughout the usage period. Once symptoms subside, users generally stop taking colloidal silver." Note: Once again the reference is to ounces of a 5 ppm solution. One ounce (30ml) at 5 ppm is equal to 1/2 ounce (15ml) at 10 ppm. In this example, one ounce at 5 ppm would equal 150mcg of silver, and four ounces would equal 600mcg, or 0.6mg. Even at the higher dosage, this consumption is still well below the EPA Critical Dose (the maximum daily approved consumption) of 1.09mg per day.
Similar supplement levels are found in an article "Colloidal Silver - The Rediscovery of a Super Antibiotic?" found at www.all-natural.com/silver. "One teaspoon of 5 ppm colloidal silver equals about 25 micrograms (mcg) of silver. 1-4 teaspoons per day (25 - 100mcg) is generally considered to be a 'nutritional amount' and is reported to be safe to use for extended periods of time. Amounts higher than this are generally considered 'therapeutic amounts' and should only be used periodically."
"In cases of illness, natural health practitioners have often recommended taking double or triple the 'nutritional amount' for 30 to 45 days, then dropping down to a smaller maintenance dose. Amounts from 1 - 32 ounces per day have reportedly been used in acute conditions."
This article continues with an important warning about the detoxifying effects of consuming a colloidal silver supplement: "If your body is extremely ill or toxic, do not be in a hurry to clear up everything at once. If pathogens are killed off too quickly, the body's five eliminatory channels (liver, kidneys, skin, lungs, and bowel) may be temporarily overloaded, causing flu-like conditions, headache, extreme fatigue, dizziness, nausea or aching muscles. Ease off on the colloidal silver to a smaller amount and increase your distilled water intake.
" Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution,
the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship
to restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges
to others: The Constitution of this Republic should make a special privilege
for medical freedom as well as religious freedom." -- Dr. Benjamin Rush,
signer of the Declaration of Independence
