Alchemical History of Colloidal Silver

Alchemists began experimenting with silver colloids (Argentum Potable) in the Middle Ages, although the Egyptians knew of the protective powers of silver thousands of years earlier. In alchemy, silver is one of the noble metals and represents the restorative, healing power of the Moon or soul. Silver was said to help both the physical body and the spiritual (astral) body. It lunar powers were invoked to "calm" nervous disorders and balance an overly active spirit. Indeed, silver solutions have been used for centuries to treat an amazing variety of spiritual, mental, and physical problems.

Silver has been used in healing since 4000 BC, and many ancient cultures have incorporated the use of silver in their healing practices. The Persians kept their "healing waters" in silver vessels to leach silver atoms into solution. Egyptians used a form of a silver wrap for wounds and burns, as do modern hospitals. Druids lined their drinking bottles with silver metal for a disinfectant. Medieval royalty held a substantially higher immunity to bacteria than a commoner due to the fact that they dined with silver ware, ate off silver plates and drank from silver chalices. Even soldiers were known to swallow a whole silver dollar to ward off infection from wounds. Before refrigerators were invented a silver coin was kept in milk to keep it from going sour. In the nineteenth century, colloidal silver was used as a germ killer, and silver solutions were regularly in the early 20th century to knock out bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, although silver colloid was gradually replaced by new sulfur drugs in the 1930s. Modern physicians use silver creams to treat burns and degenerative skin diseases.

A silver colloid is a mixture in which minute particles of pure elemental silver dispersed in purified, demineralized water. The method of forming a colloid is done by taking a metal and dispersing it by evaporating the element in an electrical arc; if electrodes are immersed in water, colloidal particles of the metal form as the metal vapor cools. The colloid particles have the same internal structure as the bulk of the solid metal. One property of a colloid is that distinguishes it from other solutions is that colloidal particles scatter light. If a light or laser beam passes through a colloid, the light is reflected by the colloidal particles and the path of light can be seen by the naked eye. When a beam of light passes through a solution of salt, there is so little scattering of the light that the path of light cannot be seen.
