Lunar Influence on the Electrochemical Production of Colloidal Silver
by Michael Theroux
It is well known that the quality of homemade electrochemical colloidal
silver varies with every batch made. While some of this variance can occur
due to mechanical and/or operator malfunction, such as improper voltage due
to low batteries, the use of impure waters (other than distilled), incorrect
duration of electrode contact, etc., there are other factors which play an
important role in producing high quality electrochemical silver colloids.
The research work of Eugen and Lily Kolisko in the 1920s and 30s introduced
the idea that certain celestial events had a profound effect on metals, and
that the ancient traditional relationships between specific metals and
planets could be demonstrated via laboratory experiment. The process of
these experiments involved placing cylinders of special filter paper into
dishes which held measured amounts of the various metal salts. Then, the
capillary patterns which subsequently emerged, could be studied with
reference to specific solar system events (a complete detailed description
of the experimental process is contained in the book, The Metal-Planet
Relationship by Nick Kollerstrom, available from BSRF). Early on, the
Koliskos observed the effects that the moons phases had on solutions of
silver chloride, and that profound effects could be viewed during lunar
eclipses.
This information prompted the idea that lunar influence could produce
exceptional differences in the quality of electrochemically produced
colloidal silver. We immediately began preparing the necessary experimental
equipment for the upcoming lunar eclipse (March 23, 1997, 8:45PM PST). Two
CS-300 colloidal silver generators were used for the electrochemical process
and a digital countdown timer would ensure that each batch ran for the exact
prescribed time of 20 minutes. The first and second of four batches were
initiated just prior to, and during the eclipse, and the last two just after
the eclipse. The electrodes were checked and cleaned before each batch was
run to assure a consistent voltage throughout the experimental run. The
water used was distilled and was provided from the same bottle, and then
pre-measured into 8 oz. glasses of identical size and make. Normal batches
of colloidal silver produced in this way yield a count of about 6000 to 8000
ppb (parts per billion) of silver.
It had been noted with earlier batches of colloidal silver that a simple
taste test easily detected differences in quality. Some batches would
produce a heavy metallic taste, while others had no distinguishing
differences from plain distilled water. After the eclipse experiment was
completed, an initial taste test was conducted on the four batches. The
first batches run just before and during the eclipse were perceptually
absent of the characteristic metallic taste usually associated with a strong
batch of colloidal silver. The two batches after the eclipse proved very
metallic in taste. These samples along with a control were then taken to a
local lab for analysis. The results shown in Figure 1 indicate that the
amount of silver began to decrease nearing the eclipse, with a reduction to
1900 ppb during the eclipse. The last batch revealed a rise toward normal
levels.
This data strongly suggests a lunar influence on the electrochemical
production of colloidal silver. But, the lunar influece presides over other
factors which are a part of the experimental test setup. Most are familiar
with the lunar effect on tides, and going back into the distant past, many
understood that the moon exerts a powerful influence on water itself.
Folklore and fact abound with tales of lunar influence upon water, moisture,
and other liquids. Plutarch instructed that the full moon caused such an
increase in moisture that it made timber, wheat, and other grains which were
cut at this time more likely to become decayed and rotten. If cut at the new
moon, they would be dry and brittle.
The medieval medical practise of bleeding was to be governed according to
lunar phases and their attendant proportions of moisture. Dr. E. J. Andrews,
in 1960, confirmed that bleeding is worse around full moons than at any
other time. Thousands of post-op records were compared to the dates of lunar
phases showing a remarkable 82 percent of post-op bleeding episodes occurred
on or around the full moon. Several other researchers and doctors would
confirm his findings.
The medicinal effects of many folk remedies were also governed by the phases
of the moon due to fluctuating moisture content. Bread was said to rise and
leaven better during a full moon, owing to a better retention of moisture.
There is a vast catalog of such correspondences between the moon and water,
and more still with recent scientific investigations. G. Piccardi, a pioneer
on water structure and water activation, demonstrated that cosmic energy
forces are important factors in the modification of standardized
