Many thought and still do so today, only produce ionic silver without even realising its toxicity. The chances, especially with the use of extremely high elevated voltages, production of silver isotopes or transmutation may be real.
Also manufacturing concerns and private individuals experimenting with electro-chemistry using simple AC/DC power supplies feeding into an electrode pair made of unpure silver and distilled water without knowing what they were doing and not aware of the difference between neutral and ionic silver. A new direction and the proper identification of reconstituted quantum silverĪfter much study, research and experimentation starting in early 2008, it became obvious that those involved in the ‘Wet Chemistry’ of colloidal silver were operating in complete darkness: Chemists working with Silver Nitrate, High voltage ablation and various forms of electrolysis. A new and more precise direction must be sought in order to legitimise ‘water suspended quantum silver’. Rightly so, for all of the ‘colloidal silver alchemists’ producing material from silver without any proper identity of what it really is. Presently, so called “colloidal silver” is in the doldrums brought about by lack of scientific explanation, use of meaningless ‘buzzwords’ and frowned on by Governments due to fraudulent claims made through ignorance, resulting in legislation being passed, banning the material for use in medical applications. Silver has that in common with the metals Copper and Gold. This is evidenced by its indiscriminate killing factor, the Oligo-dynamic Effect.
In addition, it must be said that by scientific definition that either bulk metallic silver as well as the reconstituted Quantum silver do have the characteristics of a free radical. At sizes at 10 nm and below, it is subjected to Quantum effects and is no longer in its usual metallic state. It goes by the name of a “Dimer” and most likely the start of a large atomic cluster of what is referred to as re-constituted silver, valence bonded and inherently stable with no ionic silver present. The reason for the word Pico being used is necessary to indicate that the smallest stable atomic cluster consisting of just two atoms is just around 600 pico metres (0.6 nano metre) in size. Instead a more apt and technical description would be Pico or Nano metre sized atomic silver clusters, static electrically suspended in water by a mutually repelling force. So-called colloidal silver particles are neither a colloid nor consisting of particles. Key words: pico and nano metre sized, ohm’s law, parallel resistance factor, cations and anions Introduction Such strategies are seriously missing at present. Simultaneously increased attention must be paid to appropriate technical and scientific testing for hazardous contamination of both the silver and the water used and a thorough quality control exercised. In addition, the HYPE and erroneous claims of ‘a cure for all’ for nano metre sized silver clusters should be avoided. The names and descriptions given to the material so far are technically and scientifically meaningless. No longer must vague identification and descriptions such as AGNPs, nano particles etc. This paper will demonstrate that finding answers, setting standards and the creation of a proper nomenclature as well as scientific description of this material must be of the highest priority. Today little more is known than the initial findings conducted decades ago. Neither have any official clinical trials been done ‘in vivo’. Since production and trials were initiated during the early 1900 s little progress has been recorded. Such complacency in Science and technology has resulted in no attempts being made to introduce a standard for silver as a biocide.
Instead the opinions and statements of perhaps biased individuals are taken as ‘gospel truth’. It is a sad situation when science and technology are being subjected to an almost religious dogma as easy explanations are not sought.
