COLLOIDAL What The Heck? 1-13-18

'''COLLOIDAL  What The Heck? 1-13-18'''

Most everyone had heard of 'Colloidal Silver' but most do not fully understand what it is. they also are not aware there are others such as 'Colloidal Gold'

COLLOIDS fall under what I call Non-Herbal Substances in our cupboard of healing Remedies.

In chemistry, a colloid is a mixture in which one substance of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Sometimes the dispersed substance alone is called the colloid. There are more details that do not matter to a general audience.

Unlike a solution, to qualify as a colloid, the mixture must be one that does not settle or would take a very long time to settle appreciably.

THAT MEANS Silver is NOT Dissolved in the water, it is just held in suspension.

COLLOIDS are made from substances which will not normally dissolve. All Salts (there are many besides Sodium) dissolve into solution, as do acids and most alkalies. Most of these in solution are called Electrolytes.

COLLOIDS are different than electrolytes. In fact to make colloidal silver you need to add a bit of saline to the distilled water to make it an electrolyte so the battery can conduct through the water.

YOU CAN make your own Colloidal Silver easily and cheaper than buying bottles of it. here is How in a Nutshell tho better quality colloidals can be made with greater care. You can also measure your Colloid better than guessing when it is 'whitish' enough, by using a $4 laser pointer from the pet section of Family Dollar (people use them to play with cats). Shine the beam through your solution and when the edges of your beam are most clearly defined you have a good solution.
