There are a series of videos, at youtube, of some colloidal silver pep talks given by Robert Beck. They offer extremely bad and dangerous colloidal silver advice. Beck also overly simplified the research of Dr Royal Rife and created a small “zapper” and preaches its debatable effectiveness in ridding the body of pathogens. In Beck’s talks he raves about the benefits which he has received from the simple silver concoction which he produces from tap water, two strips of silver and a couple of 9v batteries. The blue man in this current video is obviously a proponent of this extremely bad method of silver colloid preparation. By the way, Mr Beck is now dead… possibly of his own ignorance, but his videos have taken on a life of their own on the web. Those who view this material without discernment, or worse, actually begin to generate the silver without due diligence set themselves up for a "blue man" spot on CNN in a year or so... a rather dubious "15 minutes of fame".
Using low voltage methods to make silver colloids is an acceptable method for creating a safe and marginally effective antibacterial substance, BUT it must be done properly. The first item required is very high quality distilled water. The preferred Us reading should be below 0.5 for dissolved solids. For example, my tap water reads Us 1200.0+. Using tap water to react a silver colloid is dangerous for it is creating toxic silver salts. Also of great importance is the purity of the silver itself. It should never be below .999 (99.9%) of assayed purity. Never use coins of less than .999. The alloys used to harden coins for currency circulation will produce some really nasty salts if used in colloidal silver generation. Pre 1964 silver coins are 90% silver… the devil is in the 10% that is not silver. If coins must be employed, I would suggest the Canadian silver Mapleleaf (.999).
The condition argyria is caused by the oral consumption of silver salts. It cannot be caused by applying the badly made product topically to the skin, as the smurf in the vid surmises. It is the large Ag salt particles which collect beneath the skin, being too big to be passed through the pores in normal respiration (perspiration), hence they eventually build up, discoloring the skin. The condition argyria has no other known effect than a cosmetic one.
This being said, I would point out that the pharmaceutical industry, in conjunction with their cohorts in the mainstream media, run the argyria scare story at least once a year. The purpose for this is to frighten people away from the incredible leaps forward in advanced silver medical research, since some of the amazingly broad spectrum, non-toxic products now coming forth from this work threaten the enormous market for antibiotic sales. The psy-op manages to tar all silver preparations with the same wide brush.
I market the products of a biotech company making arguably the most advanced silver sol nutritional supplements in the world. They hold 4 EPA approvals for use in killing yeasts, molds and fungus (black mold being the primary culprit for the approval application), in use as a dental office water line disinfectant, for disinfecting drinking water and as a non-toxic surface disinfectant in hospitals and clinics against antibiotic resistant bacteria (specifically MRSA and emerging resistant streps). In addition to the EPA approvals, there are two US Patents for the manufacturing process and one US Patent for the engineered silver nanoparticle itself… the first ever issued for a specific silver particle.

These products (at a 10 ppm strength) have cured malaria in final stage terminal patients in African hospital studies, in about 5 days, for under $5.00 per patient. They also cured, in these African studies, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, respiratory infections, vaginal infections (both yeast and bacterial), an enormous variety of skin infections, HIV, and a host of other common but lethal, third world bacterial, viral and fungal maladies.
The results of these studies, along with the accumulated safety studies, were sent to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, who at the time were gung ho to stamp out malaria in Africa. The response was a deafening silence. The WHO immediately requested the science and samples. That was over four years ago. No other word has been heard from them since. This is not surprising since the WHO represents the interests of the pharmaceutical industry. The African studies are ongoing to date, with over 1000 recorded malaria cures and no failures of treatment.
I have withheld writing about this, due to the SOTT forum ban on advertising. After discussing it with Joe, he encouraged me to go ahead, and I have been putting together a Word document to post when complete, but this current MSM argyria scare story has prompted me to jump the gun and weigh in now.
In the interest of advancing knowledge, over making sales, you do not have to acquire these products from our project, as they are readily available in finer nutrition and vitamin stores across the US, including GNC. These are sold to the public through brick and mortar retail stores labeled as Silver Biotics.
I will post informational links to our site, but they are not there to hustle your business, rather to inform. In the nutritional supplement sales industry rating service, SPINS, these products are now the #1 silver supplements sold in the US. This is based on actual cash register receipts of retail consumer transactions, not wholesale.
Low voltage homemade colloidal silvers are ionic. Ionic silver particles carry a positive charge which makes them bind with just about any other mineral or compound in which they come in contact. This is why the advocates of this form of silver recommend such large oral doses, sometimes up to 16 ounces, or more consumed daily to address an established infection. This leads to consumption levels of badly made silvers which will initiate the condition of argyria.
The new silver sols are in excess of 97% pure elemental silver in a nanoparticle size range of 5-7 nm. Their bioavailability is stated as being around 98%. That is, 98% of the orally consumed substance enters the blood stream, compared to 100% of an intravenous injection. This means that doses as low as 1 or 2 teaspoons full per day are far more effective in preventing infection, as well as addressing systemically established pathogenic colonies, than the large doses of larger particle ionic preparations… whether home made or commercially prepared. Over 99+% of these sols are removed from the body via the urinary tract and perspiration within 48 hours. Here are the summaries of the safety research done with the American Biotech Labs products: http://www.lifesilver.com/ABL_SafetyStudies.pdf
Due to the novel high voltage, AC, manufacturing process for the new silver sols, these nanoparticles possess an oxide shell having a negative charge. It is suspected, by Viridis Biopharma, of Mumbai, India (who has published two peer reviewed papers to date on these products), that this is the reason why these products do not affect the probiotics in the gut, but remain highly effective against microbial pathogens. Research is currently underway to determine the cause for this "selectivity".
The Brigham Young University Department of Microbiology conducted the initial in vitro bacterial study. It is here: http://www.lifesilver.com/brigham.pdf
Another peer reviewed paper published last year, drafted by 8 internationally recognized materials scientists and headed by Penn State’s, Dr Rustum Roy, looks at the unique properties of these silver sols. The findings from this 4 year study were the basis for American Biotech Labs, November, 2006, particle patent approval. That paper, in its entirety is here: http://www.americanbiotechlabs.com/researchArticles/Silver%20water%20paper%20MRI%20vol%2011%20is%201.pdf
Comments from that paper, with regard to the ABL products:
"We examined some half a dozen commercially available 'silver colloid' products from various manufacturers, but we spent considerably more time and attention on the product of a new manufacturer (American Biotech Laboratories). This product was made by the extraordinary process of using very high voltage [...]"
"We chose reliable commercial products which had demonstrated outstanding and powerful antibiotic effects in easily reproduced in vitro experiments."
"The very potent biologically active silver aquasols contained, typically, the amounts of silver claimed by the manufacturer, typically from 10 to 30 ppm by weight of Ag. The silver was very pure as was the water."
"The existence of these latter 'mobile', 5 nm, metallic, silver-containing units with some kind of oxide 'layers' or 'skins' around them may be a very significant finding in looking for the cause of the bio-activity."
It is my personal opinion, based on reading the past work of Canadian professor Donad W. Scott (derived from US FOIA documents), and others, that there have been a plethora of bioweaponized, resistant bacteria and brucellosis based mycoplasmas released into the general population of the planet over the past 70 years. Many of these are very slow acting, immune disabling agents (chronic fatigue symdrome, Lyme, fibromyalgia, AIDS, etc.). This is ongoing. In reading statements brought forth in the original Cass transcripts, and remarks made recently by such ignobles as Dr. “Death” Pianka, of the University of Texas Microbiology Department, Rockefellerian eugenics are alive and well, as, it seems, are the plans for population reduction planet wide.
It is also my personal opinion that fortunes are being made in producing nostrums to treat the symptoms of these modified pathogens, without producing definitive cures. Anything which stands in the way of the siphoning off the wealth of the population, while generating the maximum “harvest” in angst, pain and suffering, in the process of an early death, is simply not going to be tolerated, be it broad spectrum medical silver preparations or high dose vitamin nutritional supplementation. Therefore we see the media regularly demonizing and marginalizing effective herbal, vitamin and silver use.
In an effort to in some way offer counteracting knowledge to what appears to be a highly concerted effort to do us in, I participated in the formation of lifesilver.com project. Please feel free to take from this website whatever you wish. You are under no obligation to purchase anything. There is much science and information there and more on the way.
If you wish to learn how to make your own colloidal silver SAFELY, I recommend the generators made by SilverGen or SilverPuppy. You can find links to these two well made, simple to use and rather sophisticated products for home use by googling them. The SilverPuppy will run on a wide variety of power sources. I personally own the SilverPuppy and am very happy with it. I use the products from this generator for household disinfecting, garden blights, sneaker and dog bed deodorizing and as an additive to the rinse cycle of my laundry. I use the American Biotech Labs silver sols for daily oral supplementation and have remained infection free for over eight years now… and counting. But, there may come a day when the only silver that I have access to will be that which I can make for myself. I would like that to be as high quality as possible. During a plague, any well made silver colloid is better than none, or so I think.
Another very good learning resource for colloidal silver production is: http://www.silvermedicine.org/
Jason, the site owner is very knowledgeable and offers plans for everything from the proper way to build and use a basic battery operated generator, right on up to some very sophisticated designs. One warning, I cannot say the same for most of the Google linked silver ads that are on his site… There is some really rotten silver information on the web. Caveat Lector!
On the other hand, there are a few sources of valid colloidal silver information that might make your life very much better. Sadly, the blaring noise from the control system's mighty Wurlitzer frightens many away from any faint signal. There are no telling how many minds that will slam shut permanently, on any silver medical topic, after viewing CNN's, Mr Smurf.
Knowledge protects. Ignorance endangers.
