How to Make Colloidal Silver with a Homemade Generator

Colloidal silver, according to The Silver Edge website, has anti-microbial properties that can heal everything, from severe external infections to organ malfunctions. Inventor Thomas Edison discovered that electrical current, when applied correctly, can slough off silver particles into water, essentially creating a silver tisane. From there, he conducted experiments to see how far its healing properties really stretched. Though you can purchase colloidal silver from many medical websites, it's far cheaper and faster to create a colloidal silver generator at home.

Instructions

• 1

  Gather up nine 9-volt batteries. Note that the positive node on each is smaller than the negative node. The positive nodes snap neatly into the negative nodes: snap the nodes together to create a battery pyramid with five batteries on the bottom and four on top. You should have a single positive and negative node sticking out from either side of the bottom battery row.

• 2

  Clip an alligator clip wire to each of the open nodes. This creates the beginning of a circuit that will slough off silver bits into your water.

• 3

  Fill a clean glass container with distilled water. The glass must be completely clean and clear. Industrial glass pieces, such as Pyrex measuring cups, work well. The water must be distilled. Minerals in the water interfere with the silver-making process.

• 4

  Lay two bamboo skewers across the top of the glass water vessel, spacing them about 1 inch apart. These will hold the alligator clip wires in place when you make your silver.

• 5

  Clip the loose end of each alligator clip onto a piece of 99 percent pure silver sheeting. Slide each piece of sheeting down between the bamboo skewers so they sit in the water. Lay the clips on the skewers.

• 6

  Cover the opening of the water vessel with plastic wrap. Allow the assembly to sit for about an hour.

• 7

  Remove and unclip the silver sheets. Let them dry and store them in a dry, safe place for later use. Disassemble your battery pyramid.

• 8

  Pour the water, now colloidal silver, into a medical-grade, airtight plastic container. Place it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
