Use pure water, do NOT put salt or any other chemical in the water.

I have the flu, I have been putting this under my tung.

Dangerous advice to add salt, OP - Add a sprinkle or as much as 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

Correct, we stand edumacated.

I warned of this 2-3 weeks ago

" Winter is Not Over "

From that article,

The chill from early this week across the Plains, Great Lakes and even much of the South will continue through most of the week, suggested Pastelok. It will then briefly start to moderate before a potential surge of cold air moves into the Plains and Midwest toward next weekend. Chilly air may not retreat for a couple of weeks.

There is no such thing as the “perfect voltage” for making colloidal silver. What we have here is a system consisting of a battery or a wall wart AC adapter (voltage) distilled water between the silver electrodes (resistance) and the resulting current (milliamps). It is essential to understand that the voltage and resistance factors determine the amount of current in this system. It is the current in any electrical system that does the actual work. In Michael Faraday’s theory of electrolysis, voltage and resistance are not mentioned. The number of ions created is a function only of the current.

Three factors will determine the quality of the colloidal silver that you make. The first is the water that you use. It must be distilled to a high degree of purity. You will need some way to check that the water you are using is pure enough. The distilled water that sold in grocery stores in 1-gallon containers will generally be good enough. You will still need some way to check it. That can be done with a conductivity meter or by some method included in the design and function of whatever generator we use.

The second factor is the purity of the silver that we use. We want silver ions and preferably no other metals. We want to make a solution containing silver ions, as they are proven to be of great benefit. Many other metals can do us great harm. We must take every precaution we can to avoid taking toxic metals into our bodies. That is why we use only 9999 silver wire and insist on a certificate of analysis showing the impurities that are present. In the case of the highest quality silver, the most significant contamination will be copper which is not bad in small amounts. That will be the case in silver that comes directly from silver ore. If you buy silver without an assay certificate, it could contain scraps from manufacturing facilities that are alloying silver with any number of other metals. So it’s not just a matter of it being 9999, but what is the nature of the additional .01%. When we make colloidal silver, the result is a liquid solution with silver in parts per million (PPM). It makes no sense to try to economize on this. If we consider making colloidal silver at a strength of 10 PPM, for example, 1 ounce of silver wire could make theoretically 100,000 ounces or 1500 gallons of colloidal silver.

The third factor is the amount of time that we allow the process. Hydrogen will appear at the cathode (the negatively charged electrode, where electrons enter the water), and oxygen will appear at the anode (the positively charged electrode). In the days of the 3 9 V battery and silver coins method, we would wait until we saw a cloud. That we were told were pieces of silver forming in the water and stopping the process soon after that. In reality, the cloud created by hydrogen and oxygen microbubbles and meant that the process was in a runaway mode. Disconnecting the batteries at that point would, if you were lucky, get you perhaps a five PPM colloidal silver solution. It would not keep its strength for very long as the larger particles would quickly collide with and absorb the silver ions. A few of us promoted the use of current limiting to prevent the runaway condition. Some of us noted that the higher resistance we used, the better results we obtained in both higher PPM and stability. Many of us tried every conceivable method of stirring to allow the use of a higher current to speed up the process. All of my efforts in this direction failed. I could not get around the fact that for a given surface area of silver anode only a certain amount of current was allowed. There is a region surrounding the anode called the Nernst diffusion area. That is a region that will only allow a specific density of ions to exist before they agglomerate into larger particles. So for those of you with your setups for making colloidal silver, try reducing the current and allowing more time and let us know the results.

It has been some 30 years since I began suggesting the use of current limiting and a laser pointer in making colloidal silver. Before that time, the accepted method was using two silver coins, three nine-volt batteries, and a dash of salt. A watchful eye to stop the process when it had a yellow tint was essential. The trick was to stop the process before the water turned into black gunk. At this time, a man who claimed he was a retired oncologist selling vitamin supplements introduced the use of a fish tank bubbler. That worked to the extent that it prevented the runaway condition that caused the three nine volts’ problems. Electricity cannot flow through an air bubble, so the current path was repeatedly interrupted by the flow of bubbles between the electrodes. This guy became very popular and sold many people a kind of subscription for vitamins and made some money. I understand that he was later arrested and jailed for mail fraud. This method is still prevalent as it does work, at least to the extent of preventing the rapid formation of black sludge. To give him credit, I think he also told people not to use salt. This method was not as quick as the three nine volts, which meant that it took more time, but people didn’t mind so much because they could always watch the bubbles.
There is a problem with this. As there is no current limiting device, i.e., “resistor” in the circuit, the current between bubbles will not be limited. The particles leaving the silver anode will be in relatively large chunks. The scattering effect of coherent light causes the laser line formed in the solution. The amount of light reflected is not directly proportional to the size of the particle. For instance, a particle 10 nm in size will only reflect 1/1000 the amount of light as a particle 100 nm in size. Therefore, using this method to determine when to stop the process will cause the process to end when a relatively small number of relatively large particles are in solution, which is just the opposite of what we want.
I hope everyone keeps experimenting and keeps an open mind on improving the process. Those of you who are using bubblers and have a TDS meter would do well to check whether or not the bubblers are adding oxygen to your water, yielding you a false indication of silver PPM. To do this, run your bubbler for the same length of time without silver. Take a reading of ppm. It is from carbon dioxide and oxygen.

Another item that you will find useful is a quality laser pointer. Nothing from China. High-quality laser pointers have a current regulating circuit which ensures that the output of the laser remains the same no matter what the condition of the batteries. The rated power is maintained until there is no laser action whatsoever, at which time the batteries have to be replaced. The cheap ones from China will vary in power, therefore making a very poor test instrument. The laser pointer will enable you to see the generation of the small particles, as they are being made. This will occur after you have achieved the highest possible ionic portion, the ions are combining to form larger particles. In the days before we had laser pointers to use, we did not know whether or not we had made colloidal silver until a yellow hue appeared. The yellow hue was caused by the presence of particles larger than of 40 nm in size. It creates a yellow because the particles block the blue part of the spectrum. If you subtract blue from the rest of the spectrum, you have a red green that you see as yellow. The smaller particles are more desirable as they have more surface area.

Measure It
In the very early days, when people used salt to sStalkerd up making their colloidal silver, they had no idea whether they’d made anything until the solution turned yellow. That indicated that they had made enough large particles to begin to block out the blue spectrum of ambient light, leaving red and green, yielding a yellow tint. The darker the yellow hue, the higher the PPM value. That was true, but it had nothing to do with silver ions and the solution’s ability to kill microbes. Here is a picture of a chart that people used to see what PPM value they had made during that time.

Please note:
These are pictures of chemically produced colloidal silver.
EIS, electrically isolated silver, is completely clear up to 50 ppm.

When I first started making colloidal silver, I knew that I only wanted small particles. I knew that by the time I had generated particles large enough to turn the solution yellow, the particles were larger than I wanted. Smaller particles, for a given PPM, have a greater surface area. It only made sense to me that in order to kill a microbe, the silver had to contact the microbe. There was also the fact the large particles would tend to lodge in areas of your body such as your skin and fingernails. Enough of this would turn these areas blue.
Clear is good
A clear colloidal silver solution signifies that there is no agglomeration to form larger particles. Agglomeration means that some of the particles are starting to share electron rings and are no longer repelling each other. This, in turn, may render the colloidal silver less potent.

Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Action of the Silver Ion in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
The antibacterial effect and mechanism of action of a silver ion solution that was electrically generated were investigated for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by analyzing the growth, morphology, and ultrastructure of the bacterial cells following treatment with the silver ion solution. Bacteria were exposed to the silver ion solution for various lengths of time, and the antibacterial effect of the solution was tested using the conventional plate count method and flow cytometric (FC) analysis. Reductions of more than 5 log10 CFU/ml of both S. aureus and E. coli bacteria were confirmed after 90 min of treatment with the silver ion solution. Significant reduction of S. aureus and E. coli cells was also observed by FC analysis; however, the reduction rate determined by FC analysis was less than that determined by the conventional plate count method. These differences may be attributed to the presence of bacteria in an active but nonculturable (ABNC) state after treatment with the silver ion solution. Transmission electron microscopy showed considerable changes in the bacterial cell membranes upon silver ion treatment, which might be the cause or consequence of cell death. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that silver ions may cause S. aureus and E. coli bacteria to reach an ABNC state and eventually die.

A BAD BARGAIN
Traderjoe got himself a $350 bubbler system for five dollars.
[link to theartofmakingcolloidalsilver.com (secure)]
"I went to an estate sale recently and bought a colloidal silver kit including a generator, timer and silver wires from “The Silver Edge” with instructions. Looks like it was very lightly used if at all. It was a steal at $5.00".
A lot of people are still using a bubbling system to make colloidal silver. Bubbler systems do make a form of colloidal silver. It is patently inferior to what we have learned to make, known as EIS, on this thread. Let’s have a look at what you’re bubbling through your water:

Dust Mites
The carcasses of these tiny critters abound in bedding, upholstery, and pillows but dust mites are plentiful in the air you breathe, too. At any given time, tens of thousands of them are circulating through the typical American home. If yours is one of them, then you and your family could be at risk for symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, and congestion. That’s because the body parts and fecal matter of dust mites are potent allergens.

https://imgur.com/a/DJdP7Dv

Mold
Mold spores are ubiquitous in indoor air. Fortunately, most mold kinds aren’t deadly, but the mold spores in your home’s air can still aggravate asthma and allergies. According to a study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, there may be a connection between mold exposure and decreased immune system function.

https://imgur.com/a/vrn5S3S

Dust
Every time you walk across the floor or even touch any object in your home, you’re stirring up dust. It’s ending up in the lungs of everyone who lives in your home – including your spouse and kids. Dust particles contribute to allergies, sneezing, congestion, and a host of other symptoms and illnesses.

https://imgur.com/a/faKxH3d

Allergens
In addition to the contaminants listed above, there could be dozens of other allergens – like smoke, pet dander, or pollen – in the air you breathe every day. These particles can trigger a long list of allergic symptoms…
The uses of CS/EIS for health, sanitation, and preservation purposes have not been surpassed by anything else made by mankind.
Keep it and learn how to use the equipment ( probably fairly easy by just reading through posts here) and DIY.
On the retail market you would pay DOLLARS per OUNCE where DIYers make GALLONS for PENNIES.

The 1 gallon per day colloidal silver generator
I joined a forum called “Gold is Money2”. It is a forum for responsible individuals and serious investors. One sub-forums Is devoted to alternative health and colloidal silver. I started posting on this forum about what I have learned about making colloidal silver. I was greeted enthusiastically. With the help of their input, I decided to make a 1 gallon per day colloidal silver generator. As these people could afford to spend money for the best in life, I designed a no-compromise generator. It would produce 1 gallon per day of colloidal silver of strength over 20 PPM with small particle size and stability that would allow it to be stored in clear glass containers for an unlimited time. We are still selling this same unit some 20 years later. The cost for this unit is over $200 as it includes over 3 ounces of AtlasNova 9999 silver wire. Many of these make colloidal silver for large families, and many more are used commercially. The more enterprising customers of these units secure a supply of bottles and labels and develop a local business with one great advantage. A little-known fact is that colloidal silver does not travel well. Vibration causes the ions to collide and form larger particles until they drop out of the solution, becoming tiny black dots at the bottom of the bottle. I confirmed this with one of the 1st gallons I made with the 1 gallon per day generator. I shipped a friend in Florida 1 gallon that measured 22 ppm, asking him to send it back to me. UPS ground both ways. When I got it back, it measured only seven ppm. Even if the manufacturer used the proper method and took the required time to make it properly, it would still have to be shipped. So if people really can’t handle making it themselves, they should buy it from a local source.

The one gallon colloidal silver generator (CSG-1G) will enable you to make a gallon of high quality colloidal silver in 24 hours (more or less), depending on the quality of your distilled water. Powered by a universal power supply. Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.SKU: CSG-1G

https://imgur.com/a/FWpNmul

The one-gallon jar that is supplied will be clean when you receive it. However, a good idea would be to fill it half full of distilled water. Replace the cap tightly and give it a good deal of motion so that any dust particles that may have entered will now be in the water.

https://imgur.com/a/w2adIme

Then dispose off the water. Pour distilled water into the jar. Do not fill the jar beyond 1 inch below the top of the jar.

https://imgur.com/a/IWJXKlv

Make sure that the toggle switch on the printed circuit board (generator) is in the fully upright position. The sliding potentiometer should be positioned all the way to the left. Insert the silver wires into the holes as shown.

https://imgur.com/a/LHqHF4F

Place the printed circuit board (generator) with the silver wires on to the jar. Make sure that none of the silver wires are touching any part of the jar where the water is present. The silver wires should be as far apart as possible.

https://imgur.com/a/ARY7DKv

Plug the Universal Power Supply into a standard AC outlet.
Once the power supply is plugged in, you will see the red LED lit to confirm that your generator is ON.

Plug the test leads into the Multimeter at the two lower sockets on the meter. The top socket is not used. It is only there for measuring very high amperage.

https://imgur.com/a/KxSjhqk

Put the two test leads into the two outer test points on the generator as shown. The meter should read zero volts.

https://imgur.com/a/Yr1eEP9

Position the sliding potentiometer all the way to the left. This will give you the lowest current. As shown in the picture, our digital meter reads 163 microamps. Please note that the reading will vary depending on the quality of your distilled water. Positioning the sliding potentiometer all the way to the left will take longer to make colloidal silver but will give a much better result. This reading will increase slightly as time goes by. It will just take longer to get a good red laser beam but you will end up with a higher PPM and more stable colloidal silver.

https://imgur.com/a/fS8dAs5

Positioning the sliding potentiometer all the way to the right will give you the highest current. As you can see in the picture, our digital meter reads 917 microamps. Please note that the reading will vary depending on the quality of your distilled water.

https://imgur.com/a/7xcYrW4

The position of the toggle switch points to the set of wires that will be the anode. By moving the toggle switch all the way to the left, the silver wires that were the anode will now serve as the cathode. You can set up your current the way you want. For these instructions, we will set our sliding potentiometer to the middle, keep the toggle switch all the way to the right, and set our current to 263 microamps. And we will continue the process.

https://imgur.com/a/s21irdU

It is now the next morning and you can see that the current has increased overnight to where it now reads 324 microamps.

https://imgur.com/a/Yki13T8

We now use our red laser pointer supplied with the kit and check to see that we have made a sufficient quantity of actual silver particles by seeing the red beam across the jar n dim room light. The first picture was taken in a bright room and the second picture was taken in a dark room.

https://imgur.com/a/IwvAqAD

https://imgur.com/a/9R2ij24

The red laser beam indicates that we have made particulate silver as well as ionic. As you can see by this picture, we have a nice strong red beam even in normal indoor room light. The water itself is still crystal clear. This means that we have avoided making overly large particles.
In the days before good laser pointers were available; the only way we had to ensure that we had made larger particles was for the water to turn yellow. You will find many people who, because of this, still believe that Colloidal Silver should be yellow in color. The fact is that a yellow color Colloidal Silver indicates particles in excess of 40 nanometers in size. Clear color means smaller particles. Small particles are better. Please note that if you have any kind of equipment to check your PPM, make sure that the toggle switch is in the fully UPRIGHT position before doing so.

https://imgur.com/a/5VEX2vi

n this picture we have submerged the probe of our Amber Electronic Conductivity Meter to measure the value of conductivity in Microsiemens. (Please note that our toggle switch is in UPRIGHT position). This is the same value for the PPM (parts per million) of the ionic part of our colloidal silver. As you can see in our picture, our PPM reads 16.2.
We are now finished with the process of making our one-gallon of colloidal silver. Unplug the universal power supply, remove the generator from the jar and clean the silver wires with the supplied scrubbing pad. Two or three swipes should suffice.

https://imgur.com/a/amlatNS

https://imgur.com/a/U66M1OB

We now have a one-gallon of better colloidal silver than can be purchased at a store. We can do this hundreds of times before we have to buy more silver wire. You can just put the lid back on the jar to cover your One Gallon Colloidal Silver until you’re ready to use it.
