Generate Your Own Colloidal
Silver For Pennies

Written by Theresa B.

*Please read warning at link below on argyria.

I am providing this information so more people will investigate the option of treatments with colloidal silver as an option to antibiotics in hard times when antibiotics may be unavailable, or under survival conditions.  I have had so many requests for more information on how to make a silver generator and have found that it is hard for me to describe with words, but I am willing to give it a try.  If any of this seems too complicated, you can always purchase a silver generator from one of the sites I will listed below.

Items you will need to make colloidal silver:

• Rock Salt, 1 qt. of Distilled Water
• 3 nine Volt Batteries
• Electrical Wire
• 4 Alligator Clips
• two .999% pure Silver Wire
• 2-3 Eye-Dropper Dark Bottles*
• Glass Container
• Stainless Steel Pot
• Candy Thermometer

You will need to make a saline solution first.  Pour four ounces of distilled water into a glass container, add one level teaspoon of sea salt and stir.  Do not use common table salt, as it has chemical additives.  After stirring the salt solution, give it a minute to dissolve and pour into a eye dropper bottle.  After you have made some colloidal silver, add a few drops of the silver solution to your saline solution to stop any fungus growth.

As to the silver generator, take 3 nine volt batteries and attach together in a T shape leaving two opposite posts available to attach wires with alligator clips.

The other end of the clipped wires is attached to two .999 pure silver wires that must be kept separated in 8 oz. of preferably distilled  water that has been brought to 150 degrees to which  4 drops of saline solution has been added.

Then apply current in this way for 10 -15 minutes.

We do it for 8-10 minutes and believe that is sufficient and figure we are making about 250 ppm of colloidal silver.

We make ours in a glass measuring cup and then store it  in a cool dark place in a dark bottle, if stored in dropper bottle make sure it has a glass dropper.  Make sure you shake it up before each use.  May be used under the tongue in severe circumstances or by droppersful or teaspoonsful mixed in drinking water daily.  We have used it under the tongue and found that it causes lips to become extremely dry.

• Do not refrigerate the silver solution.
• Do not store near speaker cabinets or other strong magnetic fields, or it will cause the silver to drop out of suspension.
• Do not store in plastic containers, the colloidal silver will fall out of suspension and attach onto the plastic, because plastic magnetizes very easily.

You can buy this solution, and it usually doesn't say how many ppm the solution is, and if it does then it is quite expensive.  The generators, for how easily they can be made is too expensive for most people.  We took apart a friends generator to learn how to make our own silver generator.  We also have used the solution in a salve with aloe vera gel on wounds that showed signs of infection with very good results.  We haul and store our water, so we have been using it in our barrels of water even though they are made out of plastic.  We feel it gets rid of any bad things in our water before attaching to the plastic, and certainly tastes better that using chlorine bleach.

• Disclaimer:  I have no financial interest in this process, and I am sharing this information as part of my research for educational purposes only.
• Warning: You must make sure the silver wire is .999 pure to make colloidal silver without impurities, such as nickel.

I am enclosing some links for generators, listed in no particular order, but they probably all sell the wires too.
