Below, you see my power source, a clean pickle jar I have rinsed with reverse-osmosis (RO) filtered water, and two .999+ fine silver bars. The cookies have nothing to do with making colloidal silver, but don't they look yummy? Sian wins the gold medal in chocolate chip cookie creation. Her secret is making her own brown sugar with molasses.
The power source we have is taken right out of a computer. A former neighbor basically added a plug, a switch, and a couple of Christmas light bulbs (those are inside the box) before drawing a high voltage warning on the top. He also attached two alligator clips.
I filled the jar with filtered water. It's a big jar, but I have a lot of voltage--around 120--so I can make larger amounts of colloidal silver more quickly than if I was using three or four 9-volt batteries hooked together. If I was using batteries, I would only put in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of distilled or RO filtered water. I clipped the silver bars about one inch apart and made sure that they were an inch into the water. I also made sure the alligator clips did not touch the water.
Sorry about the blurriness here. What I was attempting to show was that the bar clipped to the negative alligator clip on the right is turning black as the electric current runs through it. Totally normal. If you look really hard at the water, you can see the swirls of silver ions coming off the silver bar on the left.
While the colloidal silver is brewing, I thought I'd show you one of the neti pots I own and use all the time. You can get these at Walmart (which is where I got mine) or probably Walgreens or another drugstore. They aren't expensive, and they come with 50 premixed packets of the salt/baking soda mixture that keeps the water from burning your sinuses. That's very, very important. If you don't use those packets, it feels like you went to the pool and accidentally snorted a bunch of water up your nose and will spend the rest of the day feeling annoyed and slightly ill.
This is a different version of the neti pot that uses a squeeze bottle. While I much prefer the pot above, Husband and most of the kids like the squeeze bottle better.
You can see that the water has changed color significantly. This is after 30 minutes.
And here is is after a couple hours from starting time.
Here's the thing: my colloidal silver maker is not perfect. As I've discovered, a constant current without a stirring mechanism of some sort means that some of the silver particles will get pretty large as a particle attracts other particles. Stirring will disperse the tiny particles throughout the water and prevent this snowball effect. But if you let colloidal silver like this sit for a while, the larger particles will settle to the bottom where you can see them. You then have the choice of pouring the batch through a coffee filter to eliminate the larger particles or just being gentle when you pour your colloidal silver so you do not disturb the particles at the bottom.
I also notice when I use the colloidal silver in the neti pot that I get silver particles on the tissue when I blow my nose. Nothing to worry about, and I've seen immediate good results from using my colloidal silver as a sinus rinse.
I'm done talking about his now. It's out of my system. Tomorrow, who knows what I'll feel the urge to write about? I'm all in a tizzy with the wonderment.
