THE MOST DEFINITIVE PAGE ON COLLOIDAL SILVER; packed full of relevant information. You may end up not knowing all there is to know about the subject, - but you will certainly know more than 99.9% of the population, on how to protect yourself against disease and infection, promote your own good health and beauty. Good Luck and Good Health. COLLOIDAL SILVER the below information is a digest taken from a vast body of historical work in literature and Public Domain Buried in the mists of time it was believed that certain metals had magical and healing powers. These metals became precious and were used for adornment and incorporated within the daily household use of those privileged families holding high office in the land. The metals which were considered endowed with magical and healing properties were gold and silver. The belief came to the fore during the ancient Greek period when it was discovered or more specifically rediscovered, that when silver was taken in minute quantities it acted as a defence to the body, enhanced healing and served as a protector to the entire human body. During the middle ages right up to the early part of the 20th century the use of pure silver wire inserted into battle wounds or the result of hunting accidents, seemed to keep the wound clean of infection and accelerated healing. It has subsequently been found by many eminent scholars, doctors, scientists and Nobel Prize winners that silver taken in its colloidal form becomes the perfect immune system stimulator and destroys all known bacteria, viruses and germs. In fact the effect of colloidal silver on single cell invaders, is its instant destruction within twelve minutes of contact. Colloidal silver is reduced down to its most basic elements by passing a predetermined electrical current through pure silver and immersing it in pure distilled water where the minute particles become charged and suspended in their colloidal form. It is silver in this format that carries the incredible healing and regenerative properties associated with silver today. Colloidal silver carries an electrical charge which has been tracked to the stimulation of natural cell regrowth, and blood cleansing. There is no toxic danger to the human body from ultrafine or super fine colloidal silver; if anything, the colloidal silver enhances the functional performance of the liver and kidneys and attacks and destroys any harmful bacteria. Before the advent of antibiotics the use of silver treatments by the few that could afford it, proved a blessing and a life saver. The tremendous costs of extracting this pure silver put it way beyond the reach of the general public. However this should not diminish the quality of the success achieved with this treatment. Now however this extremely ultrafine particle sized colloidal silver is  available at a reasonable price to the public - less than a cup of Cafe' Latte a day. Only the finest and most effective Ultrafine Colloidal Silver is available from Alchemists Workshop in two different strengths. Alchemists Workshop Ultrafine Colloidal Silver is available in 4 oz cobalt glass bottles, to be taken as one measured tea spoon in water each day or placed under the tongue for aproximately twenty seconds prior to swallowing.

MORE INFORMATION ON COLLOIDAL SILVER: WHAT IS COLLOIDAL SILVER? (i) Colloidal silver may be described as microscopic particles of pure silver suspended in distilled water. Ranging from .001 to .015 microns in size, the particles carry a low positive charge of electricity which enables them to keep suspended and pass through all human membranes Colloidal silver particles are invisible to the naked eye, but can be seen by projecting a focused beam of light through the liquid. The laser ray or light beam, invisible in clear air or pure water, will trace a visible path through a genuine colloidal suspension, like a headlight through fog. Known as the Tyndal effect, this can be used to verify that what you are buying is actually a colloidal liquid. COLLOIDAL SILVER HISTORY The use of silver as a germ fighter and disinfectant has been known for centuries. The wealthier members of earlier societies sometimes stored their drinking water in silver containers. Silver coins were often placed in milk and other perishable liquids to preserve them. Silver has long been a favored material for the fabrication of eating utensils. Colloidal silver was well known as a germ fighter in the earlier part of this century, but due to costly manufacturing methods, the price was prohibitive. In the 1930's people were paying as much as $100.00 an ounce. This led to the search for cheaper ways to kill germs. COLLOIDAL SILVER V's ANTIBIOTICS As modern pharmaceutical companies rose to power, they responded to the need for cheaper ways to fight disease with antibiotic drugs. These drugs were highly effective on a narrow range of bacteria, and very inexpensive to make. The medical community was encouraged to prescribe them exclusively, even though a given antibiotic drug will effectively kill only six to eight different micro-organisms, and in spite of the fact that these germs can eventually develop strains that are immune to the drug. The uncontrolled use of antibiotics in some third world countries where they are available as over the counter medication, is producing strains of super bugs that are highly resistant to antibiotic drugs. There is a definite danger of future plagues because of this. It is a well known fact that modern hospitals are dangerous places, due to the presence of highly resistant strains of bacteria resulting from the constant use of disinfectants. The weaker germs are destroyed, but a few of the strong survive to breed hardier strains. Thousands of people die each year as a result of exposure to antibiotic resistant bacteria contracted in hospitals. This problem does not exist with colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is effective on over 650 viruses and bacteria, and resistant strains do not develop. Although colloidal silver is now much less costly to manufacture, it is ignored by the medical community, due to the fact that it is not a patentable product, and the large drug companies have no commercial interest in it, even though they are well aware of its power. HOW COLLOIDAL SILVER WORKS Colloidal silver kills bacteria and viruses by destroying the enzymes responsible for cellular respiration, thus depriving them of the ability to breathe. There is no chance that survivors can develop resistance or immunity to silver. Regular ingestion of small quantities of colloidal silver can act as a second immune system by assisting the body in the war against invading micro-organisms. Unlike antibiotic drugs, colloidal silver is not toxic, and will not suppress the immune system. The colloids are easily absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract and do not reach the lower intestines to damage friendly flora. colloidal silver also acts as a tissue regenerative substance by stimulating the production of dedifferentiating cells, which can be used to replace destroyed cells. There has been much hype generated by those opposed to the use of colloidal silver, regarding the skin color changes that have been seen to occur, usually in the folds of skin at the elbows and knees. they usually fail to mention that this bluing or greying of the skin happens only after many years of exposure to very large quantities of silver salts, not the pure metallic colloids. The experimental studies often cited, and other cases of argyria, were the results of the ingestion of toxic silver compounds such as silver nitrate. It was also an occupational hazard for silver miners who regularly breathed silver ore dust over the course of their careers. The use of micro-doses of colloidal silver for therapeutic purposes does not fall into this category as it is not toxic. WHO CAN TAKE COLLOIDAL SILVER? Since colloidal silver has no toxic side effects, it seems evident that anyone can take it, including adults, children, and those currently taking prescription and non prescription drugs. It has been successfully used by pregnant women and nursing mothers, but they should be careful not to exceed the recommended dosage. Colloidal silver has also been used to control infections and fungal infestations in pets and household plants. Edible garden plants will absorb the silver as part of their mineral intake. Eating them will be an excellent source of nutritional silver. HOW TO TAKE COLOIDAL SILVER Colloidal silver is most often taken orally, but it can also be atomized and inhaled into the nasal passages or lungs. It is easily absorbed through the tissues of the mouth and throat and should be held there and/or gargled for a few moments before swallowing. It makes an excellent ddouche for those suffering from vaginal infections. It can be used externally on wounds and skin lesions to eliminate infection and speed up the healing process. Unless a severe infection warrants it, it should not normally be used as an enema fluid because it can eliminate the friendly intestinal bacteria as well. ALCHEMISTS WORKSHOP COLLOIDAL SILVER Our Alchemists Workshop colloidal silver is manufactured using an advanced long slow, low voltage electrical method of extraction from pure .999% fine silver electrodes and pure tripple steam-distilled water, at 8-15 ppm. In other words, one liter of our solution contains 6 to 12 milligrams of .999 pure silver. Our process results in a crystal clear colorless solution. No binders, dyes or electrolytes are used or needed. Our colloids have an extremely long shelf life due to the extremely small particle size and lack of impurities. We have tested our solutions after many months of storage with no loss of quality. Those purchasing our colloidal silver can easily test the solution in a darkened room with a common household flashlight or pen laser using the Tyndall Effect. The beam of light will illuminate the otherwise invisible silver particles creating a visible path through the liquid. COLLOIDAL SILVER AND HEALTH PROBLEMS Colloidal silver has been used as a remedy for the following health problems: Allergies, arthritis, athlete's foot, bladder infection, blood parasites, blood poisoning, boils, bubonic plague, burns, candida, cholera, colitis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, dermatitis, diabetes, eczema, gastritis, gonorrhea, hay fever, fungal infections, herpes, impetigo, indigestion, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, Lyme's Disease, malaria, parasites, prostrate problems, psoriasis, rhinitis, rheumatism, ringworm, sore throat, shingles, skin tumors, syphilis, tooth decay,tuberculosis, tonsillitis, viral infections, warts, whooping cough, and yeast infections. REMEMBER WITH COLLOIDAL SILVER - YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Fast methods of extraction may result in a cheaper product, but produces an ineffective large particle sized product which will not perform its planned function. Plastic bottles produce static electricity which will degrade any benefits once contained within the colloidal product.

MORE INFO ON COLLOIDAL SILVER (obtained from various sources outside of Alchemists Workshop. Whereas we are in total agreement with their conclusions, we do not share the opinion expressed as to ppm strength; which we consider 11ppm to 14ppm for general use and 425ppm to 525ppm ultrafine Silver for serious and persistent allergens and pathogens) In the early 1900's, Colloidal Silver was considered to be one of the mainstays of antibiotic treatment. It is still considered to be the most universal antibiotic substance that is non-toxic in its micro concentrates of 10-25 ppm. It has been proven to be useful against over 650 different infectious conditions, as compared to traditional antibiotics, which are effective against only 6-7 conditions.   The comeback of silver in medicine began in the 1970's. The late Dr. Carl Moyer, chairman of Washington University's Department of Surgery, received a grant to develop better treatments for burn victims. Dr. Margraf, the chief biochemist, worked with Dr. Moyer and other surgeons to find an antiseptic strong enough, yet safe enough, to use over large areas of the body. As a result of their efforts, and that of other researchers, hundreds of important new medical uses for silver were found. Colloidal Silver is the only form of silver that can be used safely as a supplement. It is absorbed into the tissues at a slow enough rate that is non irritating to the tissues, unlike silver nitrate, which reacts violently with body tissues because of its caustic action. The colloidal particles diffuse gradually throughout the blood and give prolonged therapeutic action. Many forms of bacteria, fungus and viruses utilize a specific enzyme for their metabolism. Silver acts as a catalyst, effectively disabling the enzyme. It is toxic to all species tested of fungi, bacteria, protozoa, parasites and many viruses. To primitive life forms, silver is as toxic as the most powerful chemical disinfectants. There is no known disease causing organism that can live in the presence of even minute traces of the silver. Based on laboratory tests, destructive bacteria, virus and fungus organisms are killed within minutes of contact. E.M.Crooks has stated that Colloidal Silver kills pathogenic organisms in three or four minutes upon contact. In fact, there is no microbe known that is not killed by colloidal silver. Colloidal Silver has been well documented to be the best broad-spectrum antibiotic available. The FDA approved it in the 1920's. yet the high cost of production made it impractical. Retail price has ranged from $100 to $200 an ounce. But now you can buy a vastly surerior Ultrafine Colloidal from Alchemists Workshop ORDER dept.for under $6.00 an ounce.

With the advancements in the manufacturing process in recent years, the average person can afford to take advantage of this wonderful product. Colloidal Silver is now an economical and effective source of silver for maintaining good health and preventing many illnesses. As Nature Intended Silver occurs naturally in the soil as a trace mineral and, as such, is one of the many essential elements required by plants, animals and man. We once obtained these naturally from organic soils via fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and legumes. Now, with most of our crop plants grown on highly depleted, chemically fertilized soils, many of the important metallic minerals like iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, chromium and trace minerals like silver and gold, are no longer readily available to us except through the use of mineral supplements. Colloidal Silver is produced by a highly technical electro-colloidal method employing an electrical current. This allows extremely fine silver particles to be suspended in solution by the tiny charge placed on them. This process replaces the need for any chemicals or stabilizers and the product can be called a true colloid. The term "colloid" refers to a substance that consists of ultra fine particles. These particles cannot be seen by the naked eye and stay suspended as they are electrically charged. This activates the germicidal quality of the silver. Dr. Gary Smith, a medical researcher, suggests that silver may be linked with the proper functioning of the body's natural defense system and that people with an inadequate intake of silver may be more prone to illness. Colloidal Silver contains only natural ingredients that help the body fight infections just like synthetic antibiotics, but without their damaging side effects. True Colloidal Silver in the range of three to five ppm (parts per million) has little effect on friendly bacteria. However, be aware of products of higher concentration as they can attack friendly bacteria just like some antibiotics. COLLOIDAL SILVER CONTENT Within the last few years, a number of colloidal silver products have appeared on the market, confusing consumers. The best way to determine if a product is a true colloid of silver is to examine the ingredients. If it contains a stabilizer, or listed trace elements other than silver, the product may not be suitable. If the product required refrigeration, it may contain some other ingredient that might spoil at room temperature. The highest quality colloidal silver is produced by the electro-colloidal/non-chemical method. The silver particles and water have been completely "colloided" and evenly dispersed and held in suspension by an electrical current sent through the combination. This process is the only known method to create a truly homogeneous (evenly distributed) solution, containing super-fine silver particles in the range of 0.005-0.015 microns in diameter, suspended in water, without the need of any chemical, stabilizer, dye, or other ingredient. There is very little or no visible accumulation of silver particles either in the solution or settled on the bottom. The best products will contain the largest number of particles from the smallest total amount of silver. (Note: an artificial electrical charge applied to any element, including silver, cannot be held infinitely - like a battery, its charge will dissipate. Therefore, electro-colloidal silver cannot be expected to have infinite shelf-life;some "fallout" may occur in any non-stabilized product over an extended period of time). However Faraday's colloidal gold in a sealed glass container still contains it's fully charged colloidal particles after a hundred years. It is hanging in the National Science Museum in London). WHAT IS A COLLOID? The term colloid (KOL'OID) refers to a substance that consists of ultra-fine particles that are suspended in a medium of different matter (i.e. a non-soluble mineral suspended in water). The particles is a colloid are typically 0.01 to 0.001 of a micron in diameter, or about four hundred thousandths to four millionths of an inch. Approximately one billion of these particles could fit into a cube four one hundredths of an inch in size. Of the manufacturing process, the grind process and the electro-colloidal process were primarily used to manufacture colloidal silver. Today, the FDA still allows both manufacturing techniques to be used. However, of these two methods the electro-colloidal manufacturing process is generally considered to be far superior. With the grind method, the particles of silver are usually no finer that four one-thousands of an inch they may or may not be electrically charged. The size of the silver particle is so large compared to the possible charge, that the repelling forces would not be strong enough to offset the pull of gravity on the particles which will tend to settle to the bottom of the solution, producing a less effective product. STABLIZATION AND ADDITIVES? To offset this settling problem, some manufacturers add a "stabilizer" (usually a protein) to make the solution more viscous and keep them suspended for a longer period of time. The silver particles will still eventually settle to the bottom. The container will have to be shaken to redisperse the particles. however, stabilizers tend to block the beneficial effects of the silver particles. Other procedures used in producing colloidal silver that involve a simple mixture of metal and liquid (grind process) cannot possess as much potential as electro-colloids and are therefore of questionable value. The proper electrical process allows silver particles to be drawn off the ingot that are much smaller than four one-thousandths of an inch diameter. If the silver particles are within the range of four one-hundred-thousands to four one-millionths of an inch in diameter, and are uniformly charged, a stabilizer is not required to keep the particles suspended. The repelling magnetic force will offset the pull of gravity on the particles, which are animated by "Brownian Movement" and remain in suspension in a liquid medium almost indefinitely, their stability depending on the size of the particles, the medium used and the manufacturing process employed. VISUAL QUALITIES One indicator of the quality of colloidal silver is its color. As the size of each silver particle gets larger, the color of the suspension ranges from clear to pale yellow (best) to brown, to red, to gray, to black (inferior). The increasing size of the particles also reflects a proportionate decrease in quality of the product. Colloids of silver that are produced using the electro-colloidal method are a different color than the grind or chemical method forms of colloidal silver. That rule generally applies, except in the case of some brands that use an artificial yellow dye to falsify the proper color. Color variance also depends on concentration, stabilizers, and the presence or absence of other trace elements. The ideal form of colloidal silver will be almost colorless or have a very light yellow colored hue. Besides buying from a reputable company and visually checking the color of the product, another quick way to see if a solution contains colloids is by observing the Faraday-Tyndall cone effect. When a sharp and intense heat of light passes through a colloid solution, the path of the light will appear to be turbid. The path of the light will form a cone shape within the solution. The best way to observe this is to take a test tube of colloidal silver into a dark room and shine a very bright flash light through it. Colloids will appear to be milky. (Note: a discussion can be found in Jirgensons and Straumanis" book titled "A Short Textbook of Colloid Chemistry:" New York: John Wiley and Sons. Inc. London: Pergamon Press Ltd: 1954.) SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS (Alchemists Workshop does not agree with all of the following conclusions by the writer, regarding the most effective ppm strength and its related safety. Alchemists WOrkshop's opinion is based on scientific institutional research results which found that the optimal strength in killing off bacteria, allergens and pathogens was 7ppm to 11ppm which eradicated single celled invaders in vito within 7 to 12 minutes. Our own results obtained from ourselves and our clients confirm that this is indeed the case when taken into the human body, but it does not work as quickly and needs time to fully kill off the total infection. Because ooothe resultant survivers multiply so quickly a silver therapy can take between five days up to 12 weeks for a serious and stuborn pathogen. Therefore we have found that indeed a higher ppm of ultrafine colloidal silver at between 425ppm and 525ppm will kill more infections and quicker thus leaving less and less survivors, and so is more effective more quickly; and is just as safe in these smaller ultrafine particles.) Specific documentation on the optimum potency or dosage for effective use is sparse. This has led to a wide range of products of varying potencies - all claiming to be the best. According to N.R Thomnpson of Runcorn Health laboratory in England, the concentration of silver necessary to sterilize water contaminated with pathogenic bacteria is between 40-200 gamma, or .04 to .2ppm (1 ppm = 21000 gamma).  In 1940 and 1966 respectively, R.A. Kehoe and I.H. Tipton reported that under normal circumstances the average daily diet will yield approximately 50mcg to 100 mcg of silver. (Note: The reduction of silver in the average diet, due to commercial farming techniques, is similar to what has happened to other trace minerals including chromium, zinc and selenium - that are now known to be sparse. this has led to a wide range of products of varying potencies - all claiming to be the best. Accordingly, it seems logical that a concentration of 3 to 5 ppm, yielding 15 mcg to 25 mcg of silver per teaspoon, will be a sufficient concentration to be both effective and safe to consume on a regular, daily basis. A 4 oz container of colloidal silver at a concentration of 3 ppm will contain approximately 355 mcg of total silver - well below any reported toxicity level of orally consumed silver - even if several ounces were consumed on a daily basis for several years. Higher concentrations above 5 ppm, or about 591 mcg of total silver in a 4 oz container, may cause silver build-up in the system and are not necessarily more effective. For example, a 25 ppm solution would yield 2.96 mg (2,960 mcg), a 500 ppm solution would yield 59 mg (59,000 mcg), a 5,000 ppm solution would yield 590 mg (590,000 mcg)! Any product containing higher concentrations, for example having higher levels than what could be found in the average daily diet, should definitely be taken with caution, only during a time of need and certainly not for extended periods. The statement 'less is more' is often made when referring to colloidal silver and colloidal technology in general. What this means is that the number of silver particles determines the quality and effectiveness of colloidal silver, NOT simply the concentration. The term 'ppm' or parts per million' is confusing because it is not referring to the number of parts or particles, it is actually a different way to express total weight or total amount of silver. Since a colloidal product can have particles ranging in size from 1n to 100n, it is difficult to judge the quality of a product by simply knowing the ppm. for example, a product with a concentration of 5 ppm with an average particle size of 5n would actually have more silver particles than another product of 25ppm with an average size of 50n and thus be safer and more effective ie., the smaller the particle, the more effective the results. Stability, especially long-term, is another important aspect of colloidal silver products. To avoid "fall out," as mentioned earlier, some companies add a protein or chemical stabilizer, allowing a higher concentration of silver with a greater level of stability, The downside is that most stabilizers bond to and therefore reduce the antimicrobial effect of silver. Such products contain higher levels of total silver to compensate, and should be taken with caution because in all documented cases of silver toxicity, called Argyria (the permanent discoloration of the skin due to silver deposits), the product in question contained high concentrations of silver compounded with stabilizer products. To avoid "fall out," some companies add a protein or chemical stabilizer, allowing a higher concentration of silver with a greater level of chloride or nitrate. EFFECTS ON 'FRIENDLY ' BACTERIA Another advantage of correctly manufactured colloidal silver is that, with a particle size well below 1 micron (0.154 to .001), a 3 to 5 ppm concentration of colloidal silver is unlikely to affect friendly intestinal bacteria. When taken orally, sublingual absorption in the mouth directly into the bloodstream should occur before the silver particles have the opportunity to migrate into the small or large intestine where intestinal bacteria normally dominate. However, in the case of a known intestinal infection, enemas or colonies of colloidal silver could be utilized to directly expose the infection to the sterilizing benefit of colloidal silver. Consumption of colloidal silver on a daily basis would significantly reduce the incidence of infection. The ability to do this safely could be a powerful preventive health measure to enhance the lives of millions of people susceptible to chronic infections. This is an opportunity only offered by properly prepared electro colloidal silver that contains 99.999% pure silver with no binding agents, stabilizers or proteins.
