I never intended it to appear in today's threads since the data is so old. There is a much better way of doing things. It turns out there is a definite threshold in current density. If you stay below this level, which I call the Nernst Threshold, there will be no silver hydroxide produced at the anode, no matter how long you run the brew. This means you can run the brew much longer than before, and it won't turn yellow. You can get a much higher silver ion concentration than conventional brwing methods, and there is no AgOH, and no Tyndall. The trick is to use 12 ga silver in a U-shape, with at least 1/2" between the legs and preferably 5/8". I favor a 400ml borosilicate beaker with a coroplast lid to hold the electrodes. They should be 1.5 inches apart, centered in the beaker. I prefer a TL431 regulator driving a high voltage NPN transistor. The diagram is very simple and is in the datasheet. For iontosphoresis, I prefer resistive stabilization as shown in the 130VDC file since semiconductors usually fail shorted, for example due to ESD events, but resistors usually fail open. This protects you against a short circuit applying high current to your flesh. Run at a current density of about 275uA/sq.in. You need to desulfurize the electrodes by connecting both to the negative terminal of your supply, and use a strip of aluminum or titanium foil for the anode. Apply current for no more than 60 seconds to avoid releasing aluminum ions into solution, which will form aluminum hydroxide at the cathode. When the electrodes are clean and free of sulfur contamination, start the brew. Wait until tiny whiskers appear at the bottom of the cathode. This point may be reached in 12 to 17 hours or so, but the timing is not critical like it is in a 3 nines. When they are about 1/8" long, swap the polarity. Check to see if there is any tyndall in a completely dark room with your eyes dark-adjusted. There should be none. Wait for the whiskers to disappear and reappear at the new anode. When they are about 1/8" long, terminate the brew and pour the cs into your PETE storage container. I prefer a new Dasani bottle that has been drained and flushed. I call this the SilverCell process, and will provide much more information on the http://silvercentral.org site very soon, as soon as I finish killing the mold spores that have plagued me for over a decade. Check the ion concentration with a COM-100. You should see 35uS to 37uS. It may drop to around 32uS or 33uS after 48 hours and stay there. If it drops more than that, there is still some contamination on the electrodes. The metallic taste that people often mention is due to the sulfur contamination. It is the same thing that turns cs purple if you get a bit of saliva in the solution or give some to your cat. If you eliminate the sulfur contamination, the metallic taste disappears and the cs will not turn purple. Check the ion concentration with the Salt Test using pure canning salt. You should see a very strong dispersion appear instantly and grow so it completely obscures objects behind the glass. I use 12 minutes sublingaul absorption, then spit the cs out. You should see a definite silver chloride dispersion in the solution. You can compare the dispersions of the original cs and the solution that has been in the mouth for 12 minutes. The sublingual solution will be a bit darker, but the concentration will be very close to the original dispersion. I estimate about 10% less. A quick calculation shows that less than 20 parts per billion was absorbed into the blood stream. This is far below the amount needed to kill viruses and bacteria, but it is all that is needed to prevent flus and colds. This says the immune system must somehow be involved in using the silver ions, which means we are limited by the same things that limit the immune system. The cs cannot help for deep infections such as the roots of a tooth, or in joints, or for pathogens that have developed techniques to hide from the immune system like Lyme, or for viral infections that have already had time to become established in body cells. This says we need to keep taking the SilverCell cs regularly as a preventative to keep pathogens from establishing a foothold. As far as deep tooth infections, copper iontophoresis may be the best answer. This means applying a small current so fresh copper electrodes that are aligned close to the tooth root. The 130V current source is an excellent way to provide the needed current since the high compliance will tolerate large changes in resistance and still deliver the needed current. Start with less than 200uA to prevent the possiblity of damage or electrode burns due to high current level. Copper ions have been analyzed and found to be second only to silver ions. The advantage of copper is it does not produce an insoluble precipitate with chlorine like silver does. So it can penetrate the flesh and deal with the pathogens much better than silver. The Zappers that are so popular assume that electrons are flowing in the blood and will kill the pathogens. Unfortunately, electrons cannot flow in an electrolyte. As soon as you introduce an electron into water or blood, a waterm molecule grabs it and forms a hydrogen atom and a hydroxide ion. The equation is H2O + e- --> H + OH- Two hydrogen atoms will combine to form hydrogen gas, which escapes to the atmosphere. However, at the anode, copper atoms will give up two electrons and form a copper ion. The equation is Cu - 2e- --> Cu2+ This is how the copper ions are produced. They will penetrate a little bit into flesh, perhaps 1/2" or so. This means they are ideal for combating tooth root infections. Lots more to tell, but I need to get back to work. Good luck.
