Re: Are you prepared for the coming Swine Flu pandemic?

You can easily make a crude, but effective emergency batch of Colloidal Silver with a couple of 6" strands of pure .999 fine silver wire, and a simple 9-volt battery (the little square batteries that fit in the palm of your hand, available for a few bucks at any Wal-Mart).

You can get silver wire here, for about $20 a set: http://thesilveredge.com/wire.shtml

Just use a pair of needle nose pliers to bend the ends of the silver wire so that they will fit tightly over the two small battery posts. The silver wire needs to hang down evenly from the two posts.

Next, place two popsicle sticks across the top of an 8 oz. glass filled with pure steam-distilled water. Lay the 9 volt battery on its flat side, on top of the popsicle sticks, so that the two strands of silver wire hanging from the battery posts are able to drape down into the water. The two popsicle sticks are used to keep the battery out of the water, while you submerge the two connected strands of silver wire into the water.

You need to make sure that at least four inches or more of each of the two strands of silver wire are submerged into the distilled water. Don't let the silver wires touch each other while they are hanging in the water, or it will drain the battery quickly and you won't get any Colloidal Silver .

As soon as the two strands of silver wire are submerged into the water, electricity will start flowing from the battery through the wires, and tiny particles of silver will be driven off the silver wire and into the water, where they will be suspended with an electrical charge.

Leave the silver wires submerged for about 20 or 30 minutes. Then simply lift the battery, pulling the silver wires out of the water. Use a plastic spoon to stir the solution slightly, so as to evenly disperse the microscopic silver particles.

When using pure steam-distilled water, this will give you anywhere from 5 to 10 ppm in your eight ounce batch. Take a spoonful to test: You should be able to taste the slight metallic taste of the silver in the water.

Put your batch into a dark colored glass bottle with a plastic lid or cork stopper for storage, such as an old wine bottle, or even an old beer bottle. (Some health food stores sell dark colored glass bottles called Boston Rounds, for this purpose.) Once bottled, store your new batch of Colloidal Silver in a dark kitchen cabinet.

You can use a plastic bottle if that's all you have available, but your colloidal silver will keep much longer if you store it in glass. Plastic tends to draw silver particles to it, and when they stick to the sides of the plastic they lose their "charge" and become worthless medicinally.

You want to use a dark colored glass bottle, rather than a clear bottle, because silver made this way is sensitive to light, and if exposed to too much light it will tarnish and fall out of suspension in the water, making a gray looking coating at the bottom of the storage container. Using a dark colored bottle for storage prevents this.

If you don't have a dark colored bottle, simply use a clear glass bottle, and put it into a child's lunch sack to keep the ligth out.

Colloidal silver made this way should be used for emergency purposes only, when store-bought colloidal silver is unavailable, and you do not have access to a professionally made colloidal silver generator such as the ones at http://www.TheSilverEdge.com.

That's because the particle size will be rather large when you make colloidal silver like this, because there are no electronics or other factors controlling the rate and flow of silver particles from the pure silver wire.

So this is something you would not want to drink every day for the rest of you life. Generally speaking, it won't hurt you, if used temporarily, during an emergency situation. It could even help save your life. But if you plan on using colloidal silver regularly, this is not the way to make it. A word to the wise should be sufficient.
