As it turns out, a number of chemicals that can appear in the blood make quite effective developers. Fortunately, colloidal silver, when made by the electrolytic process in pure distilled water without any salts being added, produces no silver compounds. Also, when colloidal silver is made by the electrolytic process and salt or sea salt is added, silver salts will be produced as well. Although, in an emergency, one would be wise to make one's own colloidal silver using techniques previously given by Dr. Beck, for long -term use all exposure to silver salts should be avoided. The use of sea salt, which many people recommend, is especially disturbing.
Sea salt contains many compounds, including various nitrates and fluoride.
Many of the compounds can combine with silver to produce silver compounds. Specifically silver can combine with nitrates forming a highly soluble and toxic silver nitrate salt and with fluoride producing highly soluble and toxic silver fluoride. Once again the amount of silver salts that can be generated is limitd by the amount of salt added. Therefore colloidal silver should be only made with pure distilled water to prevent the formation of any toxic silver compounds. If one must use an accelerating agent, then adding a small amount of previously produced colloidal silver is recommended, over adding any type of salt.
