The articles below are an introduction to colloidal silver, sometimes misspelled as collodial, coloidal, colloidial and collodel. When all is said and done, perhaps a more accurate description is; silver water or silver mineral water. No one who conducts a serious investigation regarding this subject can deny that this is an unusual and fascinating subject. One that is often misunderstood! Many advances have been attained in just the last 3 years, making much of what was previously thought regarding this subject in error.
The following is meant to be a generalized introduction and discussion. Applications such as holistic medicine, alternative health or
holistic medicine that are relevant to the dietary issues and questions such as; "how much colloidal silver do I use?" are issues better left to be addressed at the research link above on the left.

What is a colloid?
-8 - 6
"Colloid n A particle in the size range 10 - 10 m, or, roughly in the range from molecular size to that visible under high magnification. The definition must be regarded as rather arbitrary. colloidal adj. See Graham, Thomas."

This definition is the most accurate I have found, because as you will see the term colloidal is used rather arbitrarily to describe the colloidal state of matter. Different substances have different physical attributes in different dispersion mediums, and different size particle clusters of the same element or substance often have completely different attributes to clusters of different sizes, even in the same dispersion medium.
Many things can be considered colloidal, human cells, plant cells, pathogens, clay used as casting slip in ceramics, polymer latex, nanoparticles, emulsions, micro-emulsions, liposomes, paints, inks, cosmetics, self leveling concrete, and of course colloidal silver, just to name a few generalizations.
Many industries employ colloidal chemistry, such as paper mills, electronic component manufacturing, geology, pharmacology, medicine, food industry, water purification etc.
A generalization is that a colloidal particle ranges from as few as eight atoms in a cluster (a few nanometers) to particles as large as 30 microns.
Normally it is presumed the particles are ultimately only truly considered colloidal when they are in a liquid (dispersion medium). The dispersion medium that the particles are in can be anything from water, oils to organic solvents.
Colloidal silver is generally considered to be particles in the range of 0.6nm (nanometers) to several hundred nanometers. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.
Ionic silver: ions are single atoms of silver that are missing an electron and are therefore smaller than a normal atom, ions are not considered mono atomic (monoatomic) aka (monatomic). Single silver atoms are about 0.288 nm in diameter.
What is often sold as so-called mono atomic silver is in truth Ionic silver. David Hudson holds the patent for ORMES (Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements). Monoatomic and true colloidal particles are very difficult to produce.
Colloidal particles, when they are in a liquid (dispersion medium), result in an interaction of the particle cluster surface charge, with ions of opposite charge (gegenions or counterions) in the dispersion medium, a double layer of ions are then formed.
Put another way an electrokinetic phenomena is manifest in the form of a charge on the surface of the particle cluster, that then attracts ions of the opposite charge, and pulls them close to the surface of the particle cluster, creating a double layer of oppositely charged ions.
The charge at the surface of the particle may be an inherent attribute of the particles in the cluster, or may result from an interaction between the particles and the dispersion medium.
Depending on the substance considered a colloid, the double layer may be divided into the Stern Layer (close to the particle) and the Gouy - Chapman layer, which extends into the dispersion medium.
The term Colloidal silver generally includes messo particles that are less than one nanometer (nm), up to 10 nanometers in diameter, additionally the definition includes particles up to hundreds of nanometers but under one micron when speaking about colloidal silver, however, particles several microns in diameter are considered colloidal for many other materials.
The random repulsion of like charged ions at the surface of the double layer of a particle cluster, combined with random fluctuations in the density of the liquid, cause the particles to be dispersed, spinning around in what is know as "Brownian Motion" named after the discoverer of the phenomena. Originally observed in 1827 by Mr. Brownian, as a random, erratic oscillation of pollen grains in a liquid. An example could be likened to how dust particles appear when captured in a beam of light from the sun.
This phenomenon is really what is normally meant when the term colloid is used, primarily as a way to identify a sustainable suspended particle in a liquid. Ultimately, the animated attribute, gives colloids a lively quality. Though I could say much more, let this explanation suffice for the moment.
As you may know the FDA ruled several years ago that, colloidal silver is not legal in OTC products. OTC meaning, over the counter use, meaning in essence that it is not to be used as a medicine. For more information about the legal aspects of colloidal silver, click on the "Research" link at the top of the main page, it is important reading for people interested in manufacturing colloidal silver for any kind of commercial purpose.
Welcome to one of the most important areas of research of this or any era. After years of personal research and contemplation on the subject of colloidal silver. I have concluded that the disciplines involved are too numerous for my presentation to be all things to all people, but that is still my goal, as much as is humanly possible.
One of the main problems is that each area of expertise has a highly specialized system and jargon, which does not always translate well between other disciplines. Quantum mechanics, Physics, colloidal chemistry etc. each has within the general area of study, highly specialized areas of focus. For example: Electro-chemistry in colloids and dispersions, is a specialized field of study within colloidal chemistry, although there many others examples.
Each discipline and area of focus in turn leads to a staggering number of potential applications.
My sincere belief is that the most needed research involves use of colloids in improving the human and planetary condition, the material will therefore reflect this conviction and area of focus.
My desire is to present this material in such a way that the broadest number of people, from the most varied number of backgrounds possible may easily read and understand what it is that I want to convey. So that is how I intend to present this material.
There is no reason why scientific study cannot be alive, vibrant, interesting and relevant to anyone and everyone. I think you will find the material here more than just interesting and not just for scientists.
I have attempted to satisfy my need for a complete explanation of critical fundamental issues regarding the nature of colloids, and why they do the things they do. In my attempt to use existing orthodox scientific principles I have found them to be lacking in scope, inconclusive and biased toward the mechanistic.
A mechanistic approach may be provable and applicable where machines and mechanistic systems are concerned, but they falter and are rendered invalid where bio-systems are concerned. In particular when one moves beyond the false and linear world of ivory tower axiom based teaching, as are currently taught in universities today. True science is not deductive in truth!
Those who move beyond the falseness of the premise of Euclidean Geometry, to embrace the truth of a universe of Universal Physical Principles, rather than linear "falsely based axioms" will free their mind, and in so doing embrace the fact that there are truths that are provable beyond the auspices of mere opinion, deduction and conjecture.
The path to such understanding shall be found, and made valid to all who seriously engage themselves, by the study of such notable figures as: RIEMANN , FERMAT, KEPLER, GAUSS, and Vernadsky.
A proper starting point is to Pedagogically work through Gauss's: "Disquisitiones Arithmeticae." Introduced to humanity in, 1799.
ALGEBRAIC RATIONAL INTEGRAL FUNCTION IN ONE VARIABLE CAN BE RESOLVED INTO REAL FACTORS OF THE FIRST OR THE SECOND DEGREE. - STUDY IT HERE!
Such study shall thereafter be a foundation unto you, that establishes irrefutably that Universal Physical Principles govern how the Universe operates. Moreover, that truth as we have stated above is provable and knowable as; non-linear and multiply connected powers. Which then demonstrates to any and all who engage such study, that the universe is ordered by the intent of the Creator! Not by arbitrary hodgepodge linear axioms of some self aggrandizing self-serving or evil-serving so-called intellectuals!
Please be advised that there is a WEALTH of information that may enable you to study such matters that is located here.
Looking at the state of the world today it does not take a genius to recognize that the mechanistic / technological status quo, is out of balance, and if left to continue unchallenged will lead to a self terminating end. There is no time to waste, in order to right this wrong!
Orthodox principles that are in vogue are not a sound approach where living systems are concerned. A very one-sided approach has been accepted as status quo, which is in dire need of some serious rethinking. They do not know as much as they would lead you to believe.
Belief in the now commonly accepted false and narrow views, has caused many to overlook the truth, and are therefore handicapped in any and all activities of good intent.
As we have pointed out, there is existing provable theorems and knowledge that have already been presented to the world as a matter of intellectual record. Many of which have been available since the time of Plato, with many additions since then, as well as contributions in the present age.Knowledge that is not commonly known, nor exposed to our university age youth currently, nor for the most part of the recent past. Therefore truths that are provable, valid and all encompassing, that could be embraced, have not been. Such valid knowledge could create the foundation for; balanced, harmonious, sustainable scientific, economic and technological approaches to practical solutions for all of society. By the above statement I mean all of humanity!
Currently theorems that are accepted as irrefutable fact, when challenged with evidence that is contrary, and invalidates the basic premise employed, are patently rejected by the bulk of the world of academia! Rather than rewriting the science books, adjusting the theory and in particular admit that they were wrong! Such fools treat such evidences with contempt, and patently admonish them erroneously as invalid.
For example: Acceptance of the theory of relativity presupposes that a free energy device is not possible. Any device proclaimed to produce free energy supposedly violates the laws of energy conservation. What should happen instead is that, at the true presentation of a valid free energy device, the law of energy conservation should be found to be in violation of the laws of nature!
For example: A Patent was awarded for: Zero-Point Energy Extraction Device, on December 31, 1996. U.S. Patent Number 5,590,031 has been awarded to Franklin B. Mead Jr. and Jack Nachamkin. Their patent is for a system that converts electromagnetic radiation energy to electrical energy. Opening the door to the development of technologies that are in violation of the so-called "Law of Energy Conservation."
The points made here when taken in whole, suggest that what the above commentary illustrates, is that there is plenty of room for changes in the perspectives held by humanity as a whole!
Where colloids are concerned, in time, there will no doubt be found, principles and phenomena that are intertwined with many other seemingly unrelated fields of research and endeavors.
For instance; who is to say when of if a practical discovery or application involving free energy, sometimes called zero point energy might be discovered or how? Perhaps it would occur by so-called accident. This could occur during the course of study and investigation involving a nearly infinite number of areas of research.
This could actually most easily relate to colloids when studied as they relate to bio-systems, so such study as we propose, is not only relevant, but also helps frame perspectives to help with an explanation and understanding of the underlying principles involved with this science as a whole.
If colloidal silver / silver mineral water proves effective in lab tests against pathogens, which it has, why wouldn't clinical testing follow? Why wouldn't formal testing be considered for use with humans.?
If silver water is effective against organisms that cause disease in humans in a lab, as it has been shown. Why then would it not be even considered for uses in medicine? Why would research for potential applications such as an antibiotic be abandoned before the research is started? Many alternative health professionals speak highly about colloidal silver, but it is no wonder it is being suppressed elsewhere.
Is it because the concept of such profound effects from simple mineral water are contrary to poplar belief, or are there more nefarious reasons? With profound results from lab tests pointing the way, and justifying continued serious research, to do otherwise is testimony to an error in thinking on the part of global character and the attitudes and approaches of our institutions of research. The outright opposition by vested interests is a moral flaw of epic proportions.
VICTOR SCHAUBERGER (1885 - 1958) will in time be found to be one of the founders of harmonious systems of thought. It is unfortunate that he is not widely recognized by all sciences and academia. It seems he suffered a similar fate as did Nicola Tesla, as well as the others we has previously mentioned.
May truth and freedom prevail! Colloidal silver is truly a miraculous substance.
