01) A New Technology in Old Medicine !
Congratulations. You are now embarking upon a new nano-technology. The use of nano-particles is the most promising strategy to overcome microbial drug resistance. Through the 20th century, the huge pharmaceutical industry has been actively trying to squash colloidal silver as a historically proven form of medicine, so as to expand their antibiotic empire. However, due to the poor management and overuse of antibiotics, microbes have become resistant and therefore become supreme and life-threatening. For example, the all-to-common staphylococcus known as Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA), has now become the dreaded Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).
Please do some research on this, at the link provided at the bottom of this page. There you will find electron microscope photos of REAL nano-particle silver destroying the cell walls of antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus, and killing them.
Now, in the 21st century, big pharma can not conceal the effectiveness of this revived nano-technology, featuring nano-particles of elemental silver referred to as colloidal silver. In fact, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has now allowed such products as silver impregnated bandages, silver impregnated water filters, colloidal silver generators built into washing machines, silver coated medical lab instruments, and the list goes on. And why? Because everyone knows that silver kills pathogens. However, only silver in the form of REAL Colloidal Silver will not kill human cells or be harmful to the human body in any way.
02) What is REAL Colloidal Silver?
It is pure elemental silver, which has been oxidized and dissolved into solution, and then reduced back to pure elemental silver using a reducing agent, but in nano-particle size, and suspended in solution by the silver's inherent positive surface charge, due to it's electron configuration in the outer orbital level. All elements with 5 or more orbitals can have a maximum of 8 electrons in the 5th orbital. Silver, with an atomic number of 47, only has 1 electron in the 5th orbital which is 7 electrons less than maximum. This will give the silver atom an inherent maximum positive surface charge. However, a surrounding double layer will form with a strong net negative electrostatic repulsion called the Zeta Potential. And this negative repulsion is greatest at a pH of 8.0. As a result of it's nano-particle size, it is still too small to reflect light, since the wavelength of light is much larger than the particle size. However, because of the silver's orbital structure and characteristics, it will absorb the blue band in the spectrum of visible light, as discussed in fact #3. Silver, being a transition metal, exhibits a unique property in that it will normally have only 1 electron, but may gain a 2nd electron in the outer 5th energy level. However, the gaining or losing of electrons occurs in the next innermost 4th energy level. This allows silver the unique ability to absorb light, and it does so across the blue visible spectrum of light. The light energy which strikes the silver suspended in solution, will excite the electrons in the 4th energy level and absorb that light energy, thereby causing an electron to jump to the outer 5th valence energy position. With the blue wavelength being absorbed, only red and green are left over to be transmitted through the solution, making the blend of the two colors appear yellow.
Watch Out !
Other manufacturers will sell a CLEAR solution and claim that it is "colloidal" silver. This is not true and is completely impossible. So what are they selling? Well, they will hook up 2 silver wires to a battery and dip it into distilled water. So, the only thing that could possibly be produced in this way, is silver oxide, a toxic poison.
03) Why must REAL Colloidal Silver appear yellow?
The science behind why REAL Colloidal Silver appears yellow is quite in-depth and we have touched on it in fact #2, but to put it simply, the silver nano-particles absorbs blue light energy, leaving the red and green primary colors of the visible light spectrum. Mixing the remaining red and green light together appears yellow to the human eye.
The principle is based on the Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) property of silver. Since every element on the periodic table is unique, each element will have it's own unique resonant frequency on it's outer energy level. Also, silver having several valence positions in the outer orbital, will allow electrons in the next inner orbital to absorb a unique wavelength of light, unique to it's resonance. A photon of light energy will excite an electron's resonance beyond it's threshold, causing an electron to jump to the next higher energy level, since there are empty valance positions there. This in turn, continually absorbs that resonant wavelength of energy from the spectrum, to maintain it's new position in that higher energy level. That resonant wavelength is blue. So blue will be absorbed leaving the rest of the spectrum, which is predominantly red and green. And we see these two primary colors put together as yellow.
Therefore, REAL Colloidal Silver in distilled water MUST appear bright yellow. If it is NOT bright yellow, then it is NOT REAL Colloidal Silver.
04) What is a manufacturer selling if it is clear?
POISON ! That's right. Imagine sucking on the toxic insides of a battery (ionic silver oxide), or chewing on your old black-&-white photos (ionic silver chloride). Yet, that is exactly what most manufacturers are trying to sell you. The majority of manufacturers will use a device which simply contains 2 silver wires used as probes and a simple power supply, as basic as 3 - 9 volt batteries in series giving a total of under 27 volts. Many will not even have a mixer which is essential for even distribution, and to minimize the formation and deposit of silver oxide solid fibres on the probes, or a cloudy precipitate. So once the silver probes are dipped into the distilled water, there is nothing present except these 2 components, silver wire and distilled water. So chemically speaking, the only thing that could possibly be formed is silver oxide as an ionic compound dissolved in water. Silver oxide is a poison with a lethal dosage of LD50 = 1.027 g/kg (which kills 50% of a population of mice).
The process of electrolysis using a device stated above, is a very long drawn out process taking many many hours, because distilled water is non-conductive. So some unscrupulous manufacturers will add sodium chloride (table salt) to the distilled water in order to make it conductive and accelerate the electrolysis process. However, this introduces a lot of chemistry interaction, and ultimately will produce silver chloride. Well, this is an even worse toxic poison than silver oxide is. Silver chloride is much more dangerous due to it's ability to precipitate to an insoluble solid permanently inside the cell walls. You heard about the "Argyria Blue Man" who drank excessive amounts (3 L/day) of ionic silver chloride, (not REAL Colloidal Silver). Then he spent many hours in a sun-tanning bed to maximize his ultraviolet exposure. This was nothing short of a publicity stunt which left him permanently discolored blue. The silver chloride which he drank, is the chemical that Kodak uses to make black-&-white film. Expose silver chloride to sunlight, and it turns greyish black based on the amount of light it receives. Silver oxide will also break down under sunlight, producing the same greyish black discoloration. See the picture in fact #32. This greyish color looks bluish when inside the reddish skin of the body.
We are going to only quickly mention protein and enzyme type silver products here. You should only consume these types of silver products if you have signed off on being part of a clinical study in treating complex diseases with silver, and you are under the close watchful eyes of researchers who have millions of dollars of funding. This is because this type of treatment involves tampering with your DNA, and this could be very dangerous.
So if the product you bought is clear, then it is NOT REAL Colloidal Silver. DO NOT drink it! It is likely to be the poison - silver oxide, or even worse, the poison - silver chloride.
05) Is ionic silver the same as REAL Colloidal Silver?
Definitely not ! And yet many manufacturers will use the two terms interchangeably. Some manufacturers will even say, "ionic colloidal silver" because they don't even know the difference. They are infact opposites. This is chemistry 101, grade 10 level. For a compound to produce an ionic solution, it must be able to dissociate in the solvent, which in this case is distilled water. This will be documented as the Solubility Product (Ksp) of the compound. The components of the compound will each dissociate and become an ion in the solution based on it's solubility product. This means that the components will break apart and become ions in solution (or ionic) with a chemical charge. The chemical formula for silver oxide will look like this:
Any silver salt such as silver chloride, silver nitrate, or silver sulphate will have a formula similar to this.
On the otherhand, REAL Colloidal Silver will not dissociate in a water solvent. A silver coin in a sunken treasure will always be just silver, hundreds of years later. In the case of REAL Colloidal Silver, the same silver oxide shown above is exposed to a reducing agent which will restore the removed electron back to the silver oxide, and reduce the silver ion back to pure elemental silver. However, since this process is done on a molecular level, the elemental silver formed will also be on a near molecular level. Or in other-words, it will form nano-chunks of elemental silver in nano-particle size. REAL Colloidal Silver, like all microscopic particles dispersed in a medium, will have a unique double layer involving a Zeta Potential and a Stern Potential. (Please research Zeta Potential at the link provided at the bottom of this page). This electrostatic potential layer (which is different from the chemical charge stated above), repels all other like-charges at a pH of 8.0, and thus keeps an even distribution of nano-particles throughout the colloid indefinitely. It will not precipitate and settle out of solution, like ionic silver oxide will.
Ionic silver is a toxic poison to the human body. REAL Colloidal Silver is harmless to the human body. Ionic silver will react with stomach acid and other chemicals, REAL Colloidal Silver is an inert metal similar to the dust in the air we breath, but in microscopic quantities. Ionic silver will precipitate and deposit in your organs and skin, and will turn your skin blue when exposed to sunlight. REAL Colloidal Silver will not deposit anywhere in the body, but will naturally be purged in about 8 days. Ionic silver is slightly deadly to pathogens. REAL Colloidal Silver is VERY deadly to pathogens. Ionic silver is dangerous. REAL Colloidal Silver is totally safe.
06) Is it possible to make REAL Colloidal Silver in concentrations over 20 ppM?
Yes, but only with the right chemistry. REAL Colloidal Silver will not precipitate due to solubility, but just like as if many people in a crowded room, at about 40 ppM it's close proximity to each other will have a "squeezing" force greater than the repulsion force of the Zeta Potential, causing the nano-particles to touch and coalesce or flocculate together, forming particles large enough to see as a silvery sheen on the surface tension. However, with the use of chemistry, each silver nano-particle can be coated with a food-grade chemical matrix to shield it from other particles, thereby preventing them from bonding together and forming a larger coalesced particle which could settle out of solution due to gravity. (By the way, larger particles are undesirable since they have a lesser bacterial fighting effect.) This coating (or capping) is attributed with the reason why an even distribution of particles can remain dispersed throughout the solution, when at higher concentrations well over 100 ppM. Since this capped variation of REAL Colloidal Silver is intended for internal use only, the coating is digested off, leaving the nano-particles free to be absorbed into the blood stream. REALColloidal.com also produces a 100 ppM concentration capped REAL Colloidal Silver. The 100 ppM solution is not intended to be taken at full strength, but must be diluted with distilled water to 10 or 20 ppM's for regular use. Infact, most pathogens are killed off with REAL Colloidal Silver concentrations as little as 2 ppM in less than 10 minutes. (See the yeast pictures in fact #33). However, having a higher concentration accomodates reduced shipping and storage requirements.
REALColloidal.com is the only known commercial manufacturer of REAL Colloidal Silver containing this special coating, but only on the 100ppM variation.
REALColloidal.com also produces a NON-capped 20 ppM REAL Colloidal Silver intended for internal and external use. Along with oral consuming, this product may also be put on gauze bandages and put on scrapes, cuts, and burns, or may be sprayed on infected eyes, ears, nasal, and throat, or aspirated directly into the lungs.
* As a sidenote to round out your understanding, please realize that pure silver will not react directly with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It would have to be first oxidized by some oxidizer, to become silver oxide or ionic silver. Ionic silver oxide will react violently with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This is why REAL Colloidal Silver, being pure elemental silver, is of no real threat to the health and safety of the human body. Nor will it react with sodium chloride (table salt) in the blood stream, as mentioned in fact #28. Where as ionic silver oxide will react with the sodium chloride to form ionic silver chloride, as evident by the precipitate test mentioned in fact #23.
07) Is it possible to make clear ionic silver in concentrations over 20 ppM?
No. Any silver product which is clear, is not REAL Colloidal Silver. It will most likely be one of the chemicals listed below, and they will all precipitate before 20 ppM, as shown here by the solubility chart. The precipitate must be then filtered out, or else it will settle to the bottom as a solid sludge, float as a scum on the top, or form a cloud throughout the solution.
Silver Oxide : 0.0178 g/L @ 22 °C or 17.8 ppM. Silver oxide will precipitate at 17.8 ppM.
Silver Chloride : 0.0052 g/L @ 50 °C or 5.2 ppM. Silver chloride will precipitate at 5.2 ppM.
Silver Nitrate : 0.00256 g/L @ 25 °C or 2.56 ppM. Silver nitrate will precipitate at 2.6 ppM.
Remember, these are the products that most of the "colloidal" silver manufacturers are selling. And they are all toxic to the human body if taken internally. In fact in the case of silver nitrate, it is a good thing that it precipitates at only 2.6 ppM and has to be filtered out, because if they were able to make a solution of 20 ppM's, then silver nitrate having an LD50 of 20 mg/kg or 20 ppM (lethal dosage which kills 50% of a population of dogs), would likely also kill a human. Now this is serious !
In comparison, notice how high (safe) the concentration of REAL Colloidal Silver must be before it begins to become toxic, stated in the analytical study, "An Evaluation of Acute Toxicity of Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles." J Vet Med Sci 73, no. 11 (2011): 1417-23. The results indicated that the LD50 of colloidal AgNP's is greater than 5,000 mg/kg (ppM) body weight. In acute eye irritation and corrosion study, no mortality and toxic signs were observed when various doses of colloidal AgNP's were instilled in guinea pig eyes during 72 hr observation period. However, the instillation of AgNP's at 5,000 ppM produced transient eye irritation during early 24 hr observation time. Nor any gross abnormality was noted in the skins of the guinea pigs exposed to various doses of colloidal AgNP's. In addition, no significant AgNP's exposure relating to dermal tissue changes was observed microscopically. In summary, these findings of all toxicity tests in this study suggest that colloidal AgNP's could be relatively safe when administered to oral, eye, and skin of the animal models for short periods of time." Well of course. So this means that if a 100 kg person drank 1L of REAL Colloidal Silver, then 5,000 ppM body weight (stated above) would be equivalent to 500,000 ppM. Our REAL Colloidal Silver is only 20 ppM. So you would have to drink 25,000 L to get to this concentration, which is impossible. Truly, it is totally safe to consume REAL Colloidal Silver. This is not true though, for ionic silver.
08) How can REAL Colloidal Silver concentration be measured?
The only REAL way to measure the amount of REAL Colloidal Silver dispersed in distilled water, is to measure the amount of electrons used in the production of it. Using electrolysis, you need 1 electron to flow through a conductive circuit, to cause 1 atom of silver to come off of a pure silver bar and go into solution. The mathematical formula is shown below:
The resulting silver dissolved in solution must then be reduced to REAL Colloidal Silver using a reducing agent. The reducing agent must be supplied in excess, to ensure a complete 100% reduction of the silver.
Finally, there is a secondary method of measuring concentration of REAL Colloidal Silver, which is ONLY possible by using the exact and accurate mathematical and scientific method stated above. A set of absolute standards of REAL Colloidal Silver are prepared using the method stated above, and then these standards are used for calibration of a comparatively inexpensive lab test instrument call a colorimeter. The wavelength absorption of REAL Colloidal Silver is "tuned-in" on the colorimeter. Then the relative intensity of the absorbed light of the product is measured, and the concentration is determined by graphing and comparing the results against the set of standards prepared earlier.
By using the first or both of the methods mentioned here, there is no other way of accurately determining the concentration of REAL Colloidal Silver in distilled water, while it is being processed. REALColloidal.com is the only commercial company using this scientifically accurate method of concentration determination. And we have engineered a proprietary computer controlled reactor to produce REAL Colloidal Silver with accuracy and precision. Remember, if the manufacturer is not even making REAL Colloidal Silver, then the whole issue of precise math in measurements, is all for nothing.
09) How can clear ionic silver concentration be measured?
It can't. Not in such a way so as to prove that it is colloidal silver, and especially while it is being processed. Every manufacturer selling a clear product, has no idea what concentration their product is. Most manufacturers will claim to use a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter which is a modification of a conductance meter. However, REAL Colloidal Silver in distilled water is not conductive, since it will not dissolve in water thereby changing the conductance. So a TDS meter will show no reading. However, many manufacturers claim that they do get a reading. This is because what they are producing is not REAL Colloidal Silver. The only chemical that can be produced using silver wire and distilled water, is silver oxide. Or the highly unscrupulous manufacturer may add sodium chloride (table salt) to make silver chloride. Both of these chemicals are not pure silver, but are compounds being at least partially soluble in water. Water with any compound dissolved in it, will make it proportionally conductive, and thus produce a reading on a TDS meter.
Some may also claim to measure colloidal silver using a laser pointer, based on light scattering known as the Tyndall Effect. But a laser beam from a laser pointer can hardly be considered a test instrument for measurements. And with the vast majority of manufacturers who unknowingly make 10% colloidal silver with 90% silver oxide, a laser pointer will only be misleading to the truth of what is in their solution. The nano-particle size of REAL Colloidal Silver is smaller than the wavelength of light, and therefore will not reflect the laser beam and be visible. So a stronger Tyndall Effect would not suggest a stronger concentration of colloidal silver. Rather, either the silver particles have coalesced together to form large particles and therefore would scatter more light, or the ionic silver has reached the solubility limit and it is the silver oxide precipitate that is reflecting the light. Larger particles are not what you want nor any precipitate, as it will not serve any therapeutic benefit, and are ineffective for the purposes to which colloidal silver is used for.
Still others will claim to use hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of lab equipment such as ICP & AA mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, and centrifuges. Well this is just hogwash since some of these instruments only measure quantitative and others only measure qualitative. And some instruments can not differentiate between a silver ion and a silver atom, the very thing that we need to know. What's more, the cost of these test are astounding and time-consuming, and are impractical to use on a continuing process basis, or even just once for each batch.
10) Will REAL Colloidal Silver deposit in the skin?
NO. As discussed in fact #2, the negative Zeta Potential of REAL Colloidal Silver repels the negative charge of the cell walls and thereby stays away from cells in the body. What's more, is that the REAL Colloidal Silver particles are larger than ionic silver compounds, and so will not pass through the cell wall. Therefore, Real Colloidal Silver can never get trapped inside skin cells and accumulate. However, REAL Colloidal Silver is attracted to the positively charged pathogens, where it bonds onto it and destroys it. See the mechanism of this process in fact #29.
On the otherhand, in the case of ionic silver, the periodic table tells us that silver in an ion state has a positive charge. This positive charge is attracted to the negatively charged healthy cell walls. Also, the positively charged silver ions can freely pass through the ion channels, or aquaporins, of the cell wall. The use of Aquaporins is the means by which osmosis functions, allowing such nutrients as the positively charged sodium and potassium to pass through. This also uses up the silver ions circulating in the blood stream so that it is no longer available and bioactive to attack pathogens. Now inside the healthy cell wall, the silver ions will encounter selenium and sulfur, forming an instant and permanent precipitate. These silver precipitates will then turn grey when exposed to sunlight. See the picture in fact #32. What's more, the positively charged ionic silver is actually repelled from the positively charged pathogens, making it ineffective at killing them.
11) Will clear ionic silver deposit in the skin?
YES. Refer to fact #4, #10, & #15 where we discussed the condition known as Argyria, a permanent silver compound deposit within the skin cell walls due to the consumption of ionic silver mainly being silver chloride. Silver oxide will become silver chloride once it reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Remember we mentioned the poisonous developer of Kodak film? Silver chloride, being a salt, is easily carried around in the blood stream. Cells are nourished by nutrients in the blood stream by osmosis, a process of transmission through a cell wall by means of a differential concentration of sodium chloride salt across the cell wall. But, once the silver chloride in the blood stream encounters a cell wall, it will readily pass through the wall into the healthy cell. There, it will encounter the elements selenium and sulfur, and react with them instantly forming a permanent precipitate. With an accumulation of these chemicals in the cells, the skin will take on the characteristic appearance of blue skin once exposed to ultraviolet light.
An extra concern is that silver chloride has an LD50 of 10,000 ppM, which means that it will kill 50% of a population of mice at 10,000 ppM. This is a very high concentration, considering that we are advised to take concentrations of only 10 - 20 ppM of REAL Colloidal Silver. But seeing how silver chloride causes permanent deposit buildups of silver compounds in the skin, and yet is being sold as "colloidal" silver, this is reason for serious concern.
12) Why does REALColloidal.com not have a listed shelf life?
REAL Colloidal Silver does not need a shelf life because it never expires. It will never age and break down, or form some unwanted property. This is because REAL Colloidal Silver is naturally stable on an atomic level. The nano-particles of silver is still just pure elemental silver, and like the dust we breath in the air, nano-particle silver is totally inert and is not utilized by the body. Therefore, it is just purged from the body by the biological process, unless it is first bonded to a pathogen and killing it. The atomic electrostatic repulsion of nano-particle silver keeps the particles evenly repelled from each other and maintains a uniform distribution or colloid throughout the solution, which remains indefinitely. So the particles will never coalesce together to form a deposit. What's more, REAL Colloidal Silver is a natural anti-bacterial, so it will never go stagnant or spoil. You can even use it as a water purifier. (See the many uses of REAL Colloidal Silver in fact #30). So therefore, no expiry date is required.
13) Why does clear ionic silver have a shelf life?
Most manufacturers of ionic silver, or ones who claim to produce "colloidal" silver, will have a listed best-before date, usually of about 2 years. This is because their product does infact have a shelf life. In an analytical lab, all solutions and reagents are periodically discarded and replaced with new reagents because they often age and break down. They lose their potency or form unwanted properties. Ionic silver, such salts as silver oxide, silver chloride, silver nitrate, or silver sulphate are all products that will age and break down. They will often coalesce to form a floating debris. If you filter off this debris, then your product will become a weaker concentration. All these chemicals still have an amount of pathogen killing property, but they are also all harmful to the human body.
14) When is REAL Colloidal Silver completely safe to consume?
REAL Colloidal Silver is always safe to consume. Here at REALColloidal.com, we manufacture 2 variations of REAL Colloidal Silver. One which is capped and made with a concentration of 100 ppM and is intended for internal use only, and our regular non-capped variation made to a concentration of 20 ppM and is intended for both internal and external use. Both variations consist of little chunks of pure elemental silver in nano-particle size, naturally dispersed in distilled water. The 100 ppM variation, has an added food-grade chemical matrix encapsulating each nano-particle of silver, which shelters and protects the particle from adjacent particles, allowing it to be made in higher concentrations without coalescing together. The encapsulating coating matrix is then digested off of the silver particles in the intestines, leaving just the pure elemental silver nano-particles free to be absorbed into the blood stream. There, the naturally negative Zeta charge of the silver particles, will circulate and bond onto the naturally positive charged pathogens and obliterating them.
15) When is clear ionic silver safe to consume?
NEVER, unless the product is so dilute that it is essentually only water. Believe it or not, some third party analytical labs have proven that some manufacturers of ionic and colloidal silver are infact just selling water, and lying about it by putting a ppM concentration on the label. See fact #27. Remember, most manufacturers have no idea what they are selling or how to determine the concentration. Most manufacturers use a simple electrolysis process which will result in a run-away-reaction, once the distilled water becomes conductive by the ionic silver oxide they produce. Then once they exceeded the solubility limit of the ionic chemical produced, they will filter off the black fibrous precipitate formed. They will then claim a resulting concentration of the solubility limit, being 17.8 ppM for silver oxide, or blindly label it as 20 ppM. They will also claim that their ionic silver is "colloidal" silver.
Worse yet, some manufacturers will add sodium chloride (table salt) to their process to increase the conductance and accelerate the reaction time. This only makes matters worse by resulting in a product of silver chloride, which is known to cause Argyria. Silver oxide will also cause Argyria since it will violently react with stomach acid to form silver chloride. Remember the "Argyria Blue Man" in the news in 2007. Refer back to fact #4 and #11. Argyria or Argyrosis comes from the Greek word for "silver". The expression "being born with a silver spoon in their mouth" originates in the time of the Bubonic Plague during the dark ages when the rich upper class ate off of silver plates, and they would give their babies a silver spoon as a soother to suck on. This would leach off silver tarnish or silver oxide, which would then react with stomach acid to form silver chloride.
Interestingly though, these upper class ones did not get the plague.
16) Why are some products only slightly yellow compared to REALColloidal.com?
Over time, some clear silver oxide solutions may partially break down and reduce back to elemental silver in nano-particle size, or actual colloidal silver. Most manufacturers will not know what is happening, and therefore will claim that the product has past it's expiry date. The truth is that a small portion of the silver oxide has in fact been reduced to colloidal silver. Heat is a known means of partial reduction for silver oxide. However, the problem is that heat reduction rarely does a complete conversion. 20 ppM REAL Colloidal Silver should be a bright yellow solution resembling the petals of a sunflower seed plant, or that of pure canola oil, at 10 ppM. If the solution is only pale yellow, then it will not be completely reduced and thereby will still contain the toxic silver oxide. Many manufacturers can only achieve about 10% colloidal silver using heat, while the remaining 90% is still silver oxide. See the picture in fact #32.
17) Is the concentration of silver on a label of clear ionic silver believable?
Not if they are claiming that it is REAL Colloidal Silver. If the solution is clear, then it is not colloidal silver. REAL Colloidal Silver must be a bright yellow color. A clear solution is most likely to be silver oxide and possibly silver chloride. It could even be any salt of silver such as silver nitrate or silver sulphate, but these are unlikely simply because the silver chloride would be the easiest and cheapest to make. There are accurate lab methods for determining the concentration of all these ionic silver compounds including titration and uniquely calibrated electronic test instruments, but why would you. If you want REAL Colloidal Silver, then all these other test methods are useless. Some manufacturers will try to use a TDS meter or a laser pointer as mentioned in fact #9, but again these methods will not be accurate on ionic silver and will not record at all on REAL Colloidal Silver. So if the solution is clear, then the concentration printed on the label is just made up.
18) Is it REAL Colloidal Silver, if a manufacturer uses a dark glass bottle?
Not a chance. A dark glass bottle is the first tell-tale sign in identifying a fraud. The manufacturer probably realized that their product is light sensitive, and will turn greyish when left in regular ambient light. Also, a plastic bottle is subject to static discharge, and like the electricity used in the electrolysis process, static discharge could also alter the chemistry of the contents in the plastic bottle. With time, the silver oxide sold in a dark glass bottle, will eventually precipitate and fall out of solution as a black silver oxide slug and settle to the bottom, or may float as a scum on the surface. This is why ionic silver products must have an expiry date.
19) Why is REALColloidal.com able to use a clear plastic bottle?
REAL Colloidal Silver, like a regular silver coin, is NOT photosensitive and will not alter it's chemistry or become discoloured due to ultraviolet light. Also REAL Colloidal Silver is not static sensitive due to it's natural atomic Zeta Potential which keeps it in a permanent state of even distribution. So it is not prone to the negative effects caused by the static discharge of a plastic bottle. The colloidal silver produced by REALColloidal.com can remain on the shelf in a clear plastic bottle for years (theoretically indefinitely) with no expiry date, and still remain in a fresh and consumable condition. In fact with REAL Colloidal Silver being the contents, the environment in the bottle has a natural antibacterial quality, which will never allow stagnation of the distilled water.
20) Can REAL Colloidal Silver be made with a high AC voltage arcing method?
No . . . not in a way that it is recognized by the manufacturer who is utilizing a high voltage arcing method. This process will only produce ionic silver in the form of silver oxide, or will extract nitrogen out of the air, since the probes are positioned across the water surface so as to generate the arc, and this produces silver nitrate. Due to the high voltage, there is no need to add sodium chloride (table salt) to make the water more conductive, as some unscrupulous manufacturers will do. Let's first look at the process of this method. It will usually utilize an arc welding generator running at between 4,000v and 10,000v. The cable is connected to 2 silver rods of at least 99.9% purity, and dipped into distilled water at a fixed distance apart. The high voltage will ionize the water and break the water molecule down to it's ions H+ and OH-, which will then react with the silver rods following the chemical formula detailed in fact #5. Being of AC (alternating current) voltage, the reaction will alternately react with alternating silver probes for every half cycle of the 60hz AC voltage. A secondary process involved is the formation of silver nitrate. The probes will be positioned very precisely across the surface of the water so that an arc could be generated partially in the free air. Since air contains nitrogen, nitrogen will then be ionized by the arc and react with the silver probe to produce silver nitrate, a very deadly chemical. So by using this method, nothing but silver oxide and silver nitrate could possibly be formed.
What is even worse than this, is for the ionized nitrogen to form silver nitrate, it must first form nitric acid in the solution, of which silver nitrate is the salt of nitric acid. This makes the solution acidic and would distroy what ever colloidal silver that may have form. This is because a colloid of silver can only be form due to the Zeta Potential that forms as discussed in fact #2. And this can only form at a pH of 7.5 - 8.0. Therefore, the solution must be slightly BASIC in order to produce REAL Colloidal Silver. Nitric acid and it's salt, silver nitrate, would make it ACIDIC. That is why a product made using the high voltage AC arcing method will only measure in at about 2 - 3 ppM when tested by a third party, and it will always be ionic silver or silver nitrate, which is also ionic.
So, there is nothing new here except dangerously high voltages, and a faster process which is very likely to reach the run-away-reaction point too fast, mentioned in fact #15, and likely to exceed the solubility limit. With such high voltages, there is no mechanism possible to measure the electron count with such a minute current needed to achieve only 10 or 20 ppM silver concentration.
What's more, if there is inadequate circulation and cooling around the probe area, the probes and the arcing will heat up the water in the immediate vicinity. This heat will partially (about 10%) convert the silver oxide by the process of reduction, and turn the solution in the immediate area to a pail yellow. Most manufacturers of ionic silver utilizing the high AC voltage arcing method will not know what this yellow discoloration is that they have created, and will discard it as a bad batch and try again. What's more, there is likely to be the deadly silver nitrate present as well.
21) What does ionic silver and REAL Colloidal Silver taste like?
Almost all manufacturers are selling the poisonous ionic silver. This is quickly recognizable as having a distinct metallic taste. A most undesirable taste in your mouth. Most manufacturers are selling the ionic silver: silver oxide, which has the most noticeable metallic taste. Yet, all the other typical poisonous products such as silver chloride, silver nitrate, and silver sulphate all have a similar metallic taste. This is because all these chemicals are partially soluble in water, and are absorbed by the taste buds on your tongue. If a clear silver product does not have a metalic taste, then it is so dilute that it is just water.
On the otherhand, there is almost no manufacturers who are making REAL Colloidal Silver, and you would quickly recognize it as a completely tasteless water product. This is because REAL Colloidal Silver is nano-particles of pure elemental silver naturally dispersed in distilled water, and therefore will not be absorbed by your taste buds. Here at REALColloidal.com, you may notice a slight pleasant cinnamon flavor in our 100 ppM variation. This is because one of our capping reagents is a trace amount of a cinnamon food-grade chemical called cinnamaldehyde. But we add a slight excess of this reagent to guarantee 100% complete reduction. This gives our 100 ppM REAL Colloidal Silver just a hint of cinnamon taste.
22) What is a Particle Size and Its Relevance?
When talking about Colloidal Silver, particle size is a huge topic. And it is an important topic as it does have a bearing on the effectiveness of the product. However, we are here and now going to tell you a shocking truth. That is, particle size is irrelevant. But how is this so?
Well, first of all, there is almost no manufacturers of colloidal silver who knows what their particle size is or has ever had it tested. That is because there are only a very few number of test labs in the United States who have the ability and necessary equipment to be able to measure particle size. And to employ these labs to even test one sample would be an astronomical cost. As for the manufacturers of colloidal silver who do claim their particle sizes, most are estimating off by a factor of over 1000 times in size, when proven by a volunteer impartial third party.
Larger particles have a smaller surface area per given amount of silver. The greater surface area of smaller particles would provide more bond-sites to the pathogen, and therefore more ability to kill it. To illustrate this, imagine your body being covered with a layer of marbles bonded to your skin. Now compare this to large balloons covering your body. The balloons will have fewer bond-sites to your skin and therefore less ability to interact. What's more, the large balloons are more sluggish and therefore will not have a more lasting bond, but could be more readily brushed off.
In the case of silver protein products, the protein portion of the molecule is outstandingly huge compared to the size of the silver atom, which results in an overall particle size which is 1000's of times larger. So the surface area of the molecule does not reflect the true surface area of the silver atom, and therefore, is meaningless. Proteins are used as a targeting agent to get the silver atom to the tumor in which it is intended to treat. Silver protein products are still very much in the research stages and should only be consumed under the direction of the researchers to which you have authorized experimental status. You are a test subject, and protein products may tamper with your DNA, so extreme caution is warranted.
In the case of ionic silver, there is no such thing as particle size since the silver molecule size is dictated by the ionic compound produced, either silver oxide (Ag2O), silver chloride (AgCl), or some other salt of silver. These compounds will partially dissociate (or dissolve) in solution based on its solubility product (discussed in fact #5), but will always remain in chemical balance with their associated ion. Therefore, silver oxide will always have 2 silver atoms and 1 oxygen atom in close proximity and electrically balanced, and will never separate unless there is a greater tendency to react with another compound or element. That is why silver oxide will react with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) to form silver chloride. The particle size of silver oxide or silver chloride is absolute and will never change. It is the size of one molecule. However, the size of these molecules are irrelevant because their molecular size has no bearing on what the compound will do as far as killing pathogens (or absorbing into healthy human cells). Is totally dependent on its chemical properties, and how they will react with the surrounding chemicals. This will also limit ionic silver's ability to have a detrimental effect on pathogens.
On the other hand, in the case of REAL Colloidal Silver, there are no associated ions. It is just several silver atoms grouped together as a particle of nothing but silver. We have mentioned in fact #2 & #3 that REAL Colloidal Silver must be yellow, and we provided a scientific explanation for this. If however, the colloidal silver particles should be formed in such a way that the particles are somewhat larger, then the solution would take on a slight reddish hue to it. This is because larger particles would have a comparatively "sluggish" molecular vibration which results in a slower vibration. We have explained how absorbing the blue wavelengths of light causes a yellow color. Likewise, absorbing a slower greenish-yellow wavelength will result in a reddish hue. However, in the correct process of making REAL Colloidal Silver, thorough mixing and precise chemistry is employed at the instant the electrolysis is completed for each atom, thereby completely reducing the silver ions to nano-particles before it has a chance to make any other reaction or to interact with the cathode in the electrolysis process to form larger particles. Once the particles are formed, then the Zeta Potential takes over to maintain its small size. Therefore, if the solution is bright yellow, then the particle size is correct, and is the smallest it could possibly be. So particle size should always be irrelevant, because if it is NOT yellow but has a reddish hue, then you will NOT touch it.
You should always be cautious of any silver product that is only slightly pale yellow. This is because it is mainly (90%) ionic silver. Manufacturers who make a pale yellow silver solution are actually making ionic silver, which is not stable in many ways. In one way, it will naturally turn 10% yellow just by sitting overnight at room temperatures. This product will never become 100% REAL Colloidal Silver because a 10% reduction due to temperature is a natural balance between the colloid and the ions in ionic silver. Essentially, the 10% colloid is a by-product of ionic silver, resulting from a poor and contaminated process.
Still, some will claim that a silver product with a brown color indicates larger silver particles. Well this is simply not true. Brown is a concentrated color of yellow. To illustrate, go to your baking cupboard and notice the color of your yellow food coloring. It is infact brown. But when you mix it into water, it will become a bright yellow. This is also true if you happened to have a brown food coloring. Notice the color of our concentrated 100ppM variation of REAL Colloidal Silver. It appears brown, but when you dilute it 1:4 to make a 20ppM solution it becomes the same bright yellow color. It will never have a reddish hue suggesting a larger particle size. On the other hand, a dark brown food color solution with a reddish hue, when diluted will always have that same characteristic reddish hue.
Where particle size does become of greater importance is when talking about Colloidal GOLD. This is because it is more common to find a manufacturer who is making a poor quality of product (notwithstanding the poor and toxic quality of ionic silver). Colloidal Gold is easily recognizable as a bright ruby red solution. However, you will often find products which are purplish or outright blue. These colors are indicators that the particles are much too large to be effective for what it is used for. This color change follows the same principles which define colloidal silver as bright yellow. Not only does a purple or blue indicate larger particles, but it could also indicate particles which are rod-shaped in microscopic appearance. So particle size here too is irrelevant because it is immediately recognizable as a bad product, and you will not touch it.
23) Are there any simple tests that can be done to prove a fraudulent product?
Yes there are :
1) The Storage Test. If the product requires a dark glass bottle then it is light sensitive, and this is the first tell-tale sign that it is not REAL Colloidal Silver and is a fraud.
2) The Taste Test. As mentioned in fact #21, if the silver product tastes metallic, then it is not REAL Colloidal Silver and is a fraud.
3) The Color Test. If it is clear and not bright yellow, then it is not REAL Colloidal Silver and is a fraud.
4) The Heat Test. Since we know that ionic silver is heat sensitive, put a silver product into the microwave and heat it to boiling, then let it cool. If it turns slightly (10%) yellow, then it is not REAL Colloidal Silver and is a fraud.
5) The Precipitate Test. Since we know that ionic silver reacts with sodium chloride, add a pinch of salt to the silver product. If it turns even slightly cloudy compared to distilled water, then it is not REAL Colloidal Silver and is a fraud.
6) The UV Test. Since we know that ionic silver is light-sensitive, put a sample in a clear glass jar and leave it in direct sunlight for a couple hours. If it starts turning slightly grey or cloudy as in the picture in fact #32, then it is not REAL Colloidal Silver and is a fraud.
7) The Protein Test. Shake up a sample. If it foams up with a floating froth, then it is a silver protein product and is not REAL Colloidal Silver and is a fraud.
24) Now that I bought a fraudulent product, do I have to throw it out?
No. Silver in many forms is at least partially toxic to pathogens, but to differing degrees. As mentioned in fact #25, the silver used in ancient times, was usually just a silver coin which was oxidized to form silver oxide. Silver nitrate is still being used as eye drops for new born babies, to prevent blindness due to vaginal diseases. However, the concern is that they are also all toxic to the human body, unlike REAL Colloidal Silver being simply a colloid of nano-particle elemental silver. So you may still use a clear silver product (or ionic silver), for external use only. Uses such as on scrapes, cuts, and burns. However, it would be far more effective to use REAL Colloidal Silver. One source estimates that REAL Colloidal Silver is up to 25 times more effective at killing pathogens, then ionic silver. Read why this is so, in fact #30.1 where it details the mechanism of the pathogen-killing process.
The type of ionic silver that you most likely have purchased, is silver oxide, as this is the easiest product to make. In fact #5 & #7 we have discussed the toxicity of silver oxide if consumed. So please, do not take any ionic silver internally. But you may use it for external use only.
25) Does claims of patents & FDA endorsements give a manufacturer credibility?
No, this just exposes their fraudulent behaviour. Let me put it this way, can you patent a pencil, or can you patent a cup? A patent will only be awarded if it meets 3 cryteria: 1) It must be absolutely original. It can not have ever existed in the past. 2) There must be a need for it. It has to serve some useful purpose. 3) It can not be obvious. It has to be something that no one else would have thought of, if they were posed with a similar situation. Besides, the very nature of a patent is that only one person can hold a specific patent. Not everyone can have a patent on colloidal silver. Well, silver has already been used in the past for medicinal purposes for hundreds, infact thousands of years. It was used to sterilize water in ancient Egypt. It was used as an antibiotic by ancient roman soldiers. It was used by farmers to preserve milk 150 years ago. And it was the #1 goto medicine for treating almost all ailments, up to 1938. Search the internet for more of these facts. So, can you patent colloidal silver, simply a metal that exists in the ground as nano-particles, put in distilled water? The answer is NO.
What about FDA endorsements. Well, let's review some history on the FDA. They were established in 1938 as a joint committee representing the pharmaceutical companies at the time. Their #1 mandate was to outlaw the use of silver products as a viable medical treatment, in favor of their costly antibiotic drugs. As the pharmaceutical industry grew and developed a wide arsenal of antibiotics, their enmity toward silver products also grew, as they recognized the formidable threat against their very existance. Now, with the evolution of "super-bugs" with an immunity toward almost all antibiotics, the pharmaceutical industry is almost paralyzed in their fear, especially when refering to "bugs" such as Ebola, SARS, MERS, Swine Flu, and AIDS. Now would you say that the FDA would endorse one silver product company over another, or even endorse any company producing silver products, or so called "Dietary Supplements"? Not a chance. And even if they would consider endorsing a silver product company, the FDA would charge hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so, which would certainly bankrupt any rising silver product manufacturer. Now the FDA has served a useful purpose in regulating synthetic inorganic drugs which we are grateful for when we visit the hospital, but when it comes to antibiotics and annual flu shots, they have clearly dropped the ball. It would have been better for them had they embraced colloidal silver, rather than bury their heads in the sand. "Super-bugs" are the direct result of the mis-management of antibiotics, and there is overwhelming evidence that the flu shot triggers a permanent condition of autoimmune diseases including arthritis. REAL Colloidal Silver on the otherhand, kills "super-bugs", and is an effective treatment for some types of arthritis. Colloidal Gold is an effective treatment for other types of arthritis.
The following links show how the FDA and the WHO have tried to stifle the effective use of Colloidal Silver :
Clearly, if any silver product manufacturer made any claims of patents or FDA endorsements, then they are apparently naive or lying, and obviously are frauds.
26) Does REALColloidal.com know what they are talking about?
You can be comforted in knowing that REALColloidal.com's REAL Colloidal Silver is processed by a professional certified pharmaceutical chemist, who knows the importance of ultra purity in analytical procedures. What's more, our on-staff electronic engineering specialist is accredited with designing our unique computer controlled colloidal silver reactor, which makes our product the most accurate and purest product on the market. Our chemist and electronic engineering specialist are members of 2 professional associations in good standing.
No other manufacturer of REAL Colloidal Silver can make these claims !
Now let's compare this to the best of the other companies. Some will claim that their credibility comes from a doctor who knows everything about colloidal silver. Well, first of all do they actually have a doctor on staff who is involved solely in their product and is no longer pursuing their career as a doctor? No. Instead, they somehow managed to get their general practitioner to endorse their product without any real research or presented evidence. Secondly, does their doctor's testimony prove a more fuller understanding of colloidal silver? Evidently not. Read what they say. It is usually full of holes and falsehoods, which clearly indicate a naive understanding. Read their websites and claims, and you will soon be able to see right through all their hogwash. On the other hand, there are some doctors who admirably do the research on the benefits of colloidal silver. However, these professionals will never attach their name and research to a third party, so that the third party could profit from their research.
Disclaimer: Everything stated in this website is all true and based on our extensive experience, education, research, and the Professional Code of Ethics. However, because of federal law and the enmity of the FDA, we do not make any claim that REAL Colloidal Silver is a medicine, but is marketed as simply a "Natural Mineral Supplement". We encourage everyone to do their own research before taking REAL Colloidal Silver, or any medication prescribed by doctors. Your health is your concern, so you should never put your sole trust in the hands of "Man".
27) So how do other silver companies measure up?
The following list shows a third party analysis of several companies claiming to sell "Colloidal Silver". The RED indicates toxic ionic silver, dangerous protein products, and other discrediting factors. Also, note the actual percentage of concentration of what is stated on their labels, shows that they have no idea what they are selling.

28) How pure is REALColloidal.com's product?
Our product is made with sterilized food-grade, steam-distilled water. And our silver bars are Royal Mint certified 9999 or 99.99%. Most other manufacturers will use the inferior (but still satisfactory) rated silver of 999 or 99.9%. Watch out for any manufacturers using only sterling silver. A purity of 99.99% has only 0.01% or 0.0001 impurities. And this in a 20 ppM solution, gives 56.7 nanograms of impurities per ounce. That is 78000 times smaller than a grain of sand. Truly an unmeasurable amount, rendering our REAL Colloidal Silver as ultra pure.
Even more than this, our process uses direct current and we never reverse the polarity or the silver probes. Therefore, if there is any trace impurities in the process, then they will migrate and deposit onto the cathode probe as the silver comes off into solution from the anode probe. This is actually a method used for ultra purification at a molecular level. Alternating current processes or processes which reverse the wear-&-tear on the probes, will only first electrolyze the impurities back into the solution before reaching the silver underneath.
As I mentioned in previous facts, REAL Colloidal Silver can not be accurately produced without the use of some physical chemistry. However, all the reagents used by REALColloidal.com are in trace amounts in the order of parts-per-million, and are all food-grade chemicals. Typical additives you would find in a cupcake.
29) Can REALColloidal.com's 20 ppM colloidal silver be dilute down?
Yes. Just like how our 100 ppM REAL Colloidal Silver is to be diluted 4:1 with distilled water to make a 20 ppM concentration, likewise, our 20 ppM REAL Colloidal Silver can be diluted 1:1 with distilled water to make a 10 ppM solution. Most pathogens are killed off with a REAL Colloidal Silver concentration as little as 2 ppM in less than 10 minutes. (See the yeast pictures in fact #33). Taking a 10 or 20 ppM concentration is a personal decision on how hard you want to hit the pathogens, but anything over 20 ppM would be wasting. Obviously if you feel a cold or flu coming on, then you may choose to up your dosage volume to 1/2 cup/day or more at regular intervals, but a typical dosage would be about 2 oz/day. There is no upper limit to how much colloidal silver you can take, since REAL Colloidal Silver is totally inert and harmless to the human body, but huge quantities would just be silly.
On the otherhand, taking 1 tsp/day or several drops under the tonge, as per the suggestion of other silver product manufacturers, is really just too little to have any useful effect. That is why we are selling REAL Colloidal Silver in volumes 8 times larger (32 oz), at double the concentration (20 ppM), and yet at a price less than what other manufacturers are selling it at. And we are selling the REAL thing. Yes, we are making it really easy for all people to use this product, to their good health.
Also, unlike ionic silver, REAL Colloidal Silver is inert and will not react with any other medication. Just like how silver coins in a sunken treasure will remain just pure silver, hundreds of years later in the ocean's corrosive salt water, likewise, REAL Colloidal Silver will remain totally stable throughout the body. See fact #6.
30) Some of the many uses of REAL Colloidal Silver . . .
1) Internal Uses :
There are only two ways of taking REAL Colloidal Silver internally, and that is to consume it or inject it by intravenous. Taking it by injection could be dangerous and should only be done with medical supervision. Taking REAL Colloidal Silver orally should only be done in concentrations of 10ppM - 20ppM. However, once consumed, there are a few ways in which it works. First, REAL Colloidal Silver will be attracted to the positively charged pathogens and eventually hinder the mobility of the pathogen and restrict reproduction, feeding, and respiratory functions. Secondly, once attracted, the pathogen's thin membrane is fried and destroyed by the minute electrical battery effect of the positive and negative attracting forces. Then, a third process acting on the pathogen is the absorption of oxygen from the pathogen, effectively suffocating it and shuting down it's metabolic respiratory function. This also oxidizes the silver to form silver oxide in direct interaction with the pathogen. This silver oxide, now an ion, can now pass through the pathogen's wall and chemically destroy the pathogen from inside.
On the other hand, ionic silver, being positively charged, will be attracted to the negatively charged healthy human cells and be absorbed through the cell walls of the skin and internal organs. There it encounters selenium and sulfur, which forms an instant permanent precipitate in the cells, and then turns grey when exposed to ultraviolet light.
2) External Uses :
We have talked about the external uses of REAL Colloidal Silver, but we will mention it again here. It can be sprayed on infected eyes, ears, nasal, throat, aspirated into the lungs, or put on scrapes, cuts, and burns. Spray it on gauze bandages before applying to affected areas. Spraying it regularly on the face and allowing it to air dry will kill the pathogens which causes acne. It has been used on scare tissue, skin tags, and other small abnormal growths, as REAL Colloidal Silver is known to restore proper cell function by helping them reset back to a stem-cell state. How this works is not yet fully understood by the medical community, but the evidence is clear to support it. It can also treat dandruff, psoriasis, cold sores, athletes foot, worts, and other skin diseases.
3) Non-Bodily Uses :
REAL Colloidal Silver is an excellent antibacterial agent. Wipe down your counter tops with it, spray it on bathtub mildew, pour it in toilets and water closets, wash children's hands with it when they are sick, add it to laundry wash tubs, dip toothbrushes in it, spray it on pillows and bed linen and let air dry, spray it in the garbage and under the sink, spray it in the refrigerator and crisper drawers, wash fresh fruits and vegetables with it (especially lettuce), spray it inside the lids of open sauce jars, and it could even be used to sterilize contaminated water. Essentially, use it where ever you would want to sterilize bacteria from.
4) Commercial Uses :
Over the past decade, there has been an explosion of commercial uses for REAL Colloidal Silver. Just to name a few, REAL Colloidal Silver has been added to or impregnated on the surface of the following items:
Washing machines, hunting clothes with odour control, baby wipes, laundry detergents, brass instruments, medical instruments, anti-microbial apparel, dish cloths, deodorant sticks, surgical masks, metal surgical implants, first-aid wound gels, bandages, coated on door knobs, on ceramic water filters, and the list goes on.
31) Why should everyone be especially interested in REAL Colloidal Silver?
No one ever believed, that through the years of the 20th century, that human affairs would deteriorate from bad to worse. That war would solve nothing, but instead would only stress our financial system, our employment and economy, . . . and yes, even our medical services. No one even dreamed that if we should need to see a doctor, that there would not be one available. Few people even considered the possibility of global extinction at the hands of Man himself. . . . Yet, now in the early years of the 21st century, we find ourselves in a collapsing society, were the vast majority of humanity struggles to acquire daily necessities, even in first-world countries. Financial planning for our old-age is now almost unheard of. And even the natural elements of the Earth are wreaking havoc with natural disasters like never before.
For this reason, there has been an explosion of interest on the internet in recent years related to preparing for natural disasters. There has now become a classification of people called "Preppers", individuals who prepare for the inevitable future. Sure there are some who are responsible extremists or doomsday planners for the EOTWAWKI or SHTF, but to be a disaster prepper (at least to some degree) is a sign of wisdom and foresight. It is only logical to prepare for natural disasters, just as it is to prepare for your retirement or to prepare for a holiday. Many governments have websites that encourage the preparing for natural disasters, and they stipulate a list of minimum necessary items to always have stored, ready to use. And now in the 21st century, it is even more urgent to prepare for the coming economic collapse, hyper-inflation & depression, and global chaos. Don't expect the medical services to be functioning properly at that time.
That is why everyone should be interested in REAL Colloidal Silver. At a time when diseases will be running rampant, drinking water will be contaminated, and medical services will not be available, . . . this is when you will need REAL Colloidal Silver the most. We have discussed the anti-bacterial and anti-viral benefits of REAL Colloidal Silver. And remember that it has an indefinite shelf-life. So it is the perfect item to have stored away for emergencies. And now is the perfect time to stock up while you still have time. And if you get the 100ppM variation of REAL Colloidal Silver, then you will have 10 times the amount stored away, if you have the water to dilute it down to 10ppM. REAL Colloidal Silver will even sterilize contaminated drinking water, in times of natural disaster. Really, REAL Colloidal Silver is the perfect preppers storage item.
32) A picture of what some silver products look like.
1) Ionic silver, a toxic clear solution of silver oxide dissolved in water, produced by electrolysis.
2) Ionic silver, being light-sensitive, will precipitate a black solid when exposed to sunlight.
3) Ionic silver will partially reduce (10%) by capturing extra electrons from the water when heated, resulting in a pail yellow color.
4) REAL Colloidal Silver will have a bright sunflower petal color. It is stable and will not break down or precipitate, even in a clear plastic bottle.

34) All About Colloidal GOLD . . .
REAL Colloidal Gold works very well hand-in-hand with REAL Colloidal Silver in that they each address a unique set of benefits, so that when used together, a more complete health benefit is realized. Both REAL Colloidal Silver and REAL Colloidal Gold can help in treating different diseases and health complications. REAL Colloidal Silver primarily addresses viruses, bacteria, fungus, molds, and is an effective antiseptic. Whereas REAL Colloidal Gold addresses nervous system disorders and the overall well-being of the human body. Why REAL Colloidal Gold is so effective on the nervous system is because of its ability to bridge the synapses of aging neurons, and strengthen the electrical signal through the synapses throughout the nervous system.
However, like Colloidal Silver, different gold water products can often be purchased as an ionic solution and fraudulently marketed as Colloidal Gold. And like ionic silver, ionic gold is poisonous to the human body, and is quickly recognized as a clear solution. Ionic gold is often in the chemical form of gold chloride, since chlorine is just about the only element on the periodic table that will react with gold, but only at high temperatures. So it is very important to watch what you are buying. REAL Colloidal Gold is always a bright ruby red color, due to its light absorption as a result of its nuclear magnetic resonance, in the similar way that REAL Colloidal Silver appears yellow. A poorly made Colloidal Gold may have a purplish to bluish hue. Do not purchase any Colloidal Gold that is not bright ruby red, since a purple to blue color indicates larger gold particles and would serve no medicinal benefit. What's more, REAL Colloidal Gold is not a natural antiseptic, so it may become stagnant after an extended period of shelf-life. That is why at REALColloidal.com, we sterilize our Colloidal Gold and then treat it with an added 2ppM of REAL Colloidal Silver to preserve it.
Another buzzword to watch out for is “monoatomic gold”. If you have a chemistry background, you would know that gold exists naturally in 2 valences, Gold (I) and Gold (III). However, Gold (I) is the one most abundant on earth. As a Colloidal Gold, each variation exibits no difference. However, as an ionic solution, there is a great difference in what compounds can be formed. But the manufacturers who produce what they call “colloidal gold” and market it as “monoatomic gold” are using the expression in a literal way. They are trying to portray the idea of a “mono atom” of gold, as if to suggest a smaller partial of gold. However, this is not true. They are selling ionic gold which is a gold compound, typically as gold chloride, which is a poison to the human body. REAL Colloidal Gold is harmless to the human body, and can even be consumed as gold leaf or gold dust, as it is often used as a decoration on desserts.
Many medical and clinical researchers are starting to recognize the many benefits of taking REAL Colloidal Gold including :
For the treatment of osteo-arthritis and rheumatoid-arthritis, tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis, sexual dysfunction, depression, anxiety, hypertension, high blood pressure, spinal problems, glandular and nervous system disorders, bronchial asthma, alcoholism, enhancement and strengthening of energy, focus, circulation, the immune system, tissue regeneration, absorption of nutrients, anti-aging, emotional balance, and is also very effective for arthritis pain & swelling, and other degenerative conditions.
Instead of restating the obvious here, we will provide some links to some very well written websites, so that you could do your own research . . .
