Hello, I'm Steve. I've decided to follow my kid's example and start a blog with my current endeavors. Most people find me quirky. My kids are creative and insightfull. I'm just quirky.

I'm starting with my take on a simple little device that makes a solution called colloidal silver. This is a weak solution of tiny particles of silver that become suspended in distilled water by an electrolytic process. Silver has been used for centuries as a natural antibiotic, at least until pharmaceutical companies found a way to improve (read capitalize) on other ways to kill the bugs. Here's a good overview of silver usage: http://www.all-natural.com/silver-1.html After checking out a lot of devices suggested for generating this solution, I chose the safest route. I'm using a low voltage DC supply (6V). The current is very low, about 300ma, so about any DC supply should work ok. Some people suggest 27-30VDC, but this appears to make much larger particles that are too big to assimilate in the cells, but do get deposited in the tissues (not a good thing). I found some .9999 silver wire on Ebay that works really well. A small aquarium pump with a bubble diffuser adds some CO2 to the solution which helps with the electrolysis. I only leave the device running for about 5 hours. Checking it with a laser beam verifies the particles are present. I do personally feel this is as safe as the products you can purchase at the local health stores. I only make about a cup at a time, and make a new batch every couple of weeks. An ounce of this a day should be sufficient if you feel something coming on or feel you are at risk (swine flu, maybe?) Some people use up to a cup a day, but I can't recommend this as I have no experience at this level. I have had significant positive results using colloidal silver to fight infections, however. That's all for now!
