  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 moon�s 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
  laboratory chemical and phase-change experiments. He
  also discovered a dynamic and energetic movement to
  the Earth�s path in orbit that corresponds to seasonal
  changes.

  The moon is not without its effects on electricity and
  electrical conductivity. Variations have been recorded
  in the electrostatic strength of the atmosphere caused
  by lunar-phase influenced fluctuations in ionization.
  H.S. Burr discovered that the electrical potential of
  trees climaxed during full moons, and was unrelated to
  fluctuations in barometric pressure, humidity, or the
  weather. The only outside influence the tree�s
  electrical potential fluctuation kept pace with was
  that of the changing phases of the moon. L. Ravitz
  found that people also possessed peaks of potential
  difference in accord with full and new moons. E.K.
  Bigg observed over an 81 year period that magnetic
  storms peaked in intensity just after full moons, and
  were lightest around new moons. Disturbances in the
  earth�s magnetic field have been found to follow lunar
  cycles.

  It is obvious that these associations indicate that
  the entire process of the electrochemical production
  of colloidal silver is ruled by lunar influence. For
  that matter, all chemical processes are inextricably
  directed by celestial authority. It is essential to
  understand then, when the most propitious times occur
  to conceive these suspensions. With respect to the
  production of colloidal silver, lunar influence tables
  must be consulted. We know that tides are a direct
  manifestation of lunar forces, but there are also
  atmospheric tides which play an important role in the
  understanding of how the moon affects chemical
  reactions. D�Alembert, in 1746, was the first to
  discover lunar tides in the earth�s atmosphere.
  Atmospheric tides attend daily and monthly lunar
  cycles similar to ocean tides. High tide is observed
  when the moon is directly overhead or on the exact
  opposite side of the earth. This is called upper and
  lower transit respectively, or “souths” and “norths”.
  The highest atmospheric tide can be measured as air
  pressure, and occurs at lower transit every day. These
  daily high tides peak twice a month at new and full
  moons. The highest tides occur when the full or new
  moon is at perigee (closest approach to the earth),
  and higher still when the new or full moon at perigee
  crosses the ecliptic, or geometrical plane formed by
  the path of the earth�s orbit.

  From a quantitative viewpoint, these tides are
  extremely small causing the barometer to rise only
  .001 inches in a day. This influence is location
  dependant, and may be as much as three times higher
  near he equator as it is in middle latitudes. This
  still seems too quantitatively minuscule to have any
  effect on silver electrodes in an 8 oz. glass of
  water.

  Here we must turn to the work of John Alden Knight. In
  the mid 1920s, while fishing with a friend, he was
  told about the folkloric “moon-up/moon-down” theory.
  The basic premise is that fish feed only at certain
  times of the day, and that the best times could be
  found when the moon was either “southing” or
  “northing”. Knight went on to develop this theory over
  the next few decades into what is now known as the
  “Solunar” (combining Sun and Moon) theory. Of course,
  this theory didn�t just apply to fish, and he would
  discover that animals, including humans, would become
  more active and have more energy at these times than
  at all other times of the day. One might wonder why
  they wake up in the middle of the night full of energy
  only to consult the tables Knight created, and find
  that a Solunar period was in progress. These periods
  last anywhere from 1� to 3 hours dependant on the
  moon�s relationship to other celestial processes.
  Minor Solunar periods are indicated during the rising
  and setting times of the moon, and Major periods are
  indicated during the two transits. These periods are,
  of course, location dependant, and Knight has created
  tables which are available for every major fishing
  location in the country (see references). The easiest
  way to roughly calculate this for yourself is to add 6
  hours to the rise and set times for the moon. If you
  are connected to the Internet, you can obtain moon
  rise and set times for your local area for the entire
  year by going to the Naval Observatory�s website at
  http://riemann.usno.navy.mil/aa/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html.
  Once you have these, simply add 6 hours to the daily
  rise or set time to find the major periods.

  These appear to be the best times for the production
  of colloidal silver. If on a new or full moon, even
  better. Although we haven�t had lab tests done on
  every batch (the cost is $40 per sample), taste tests
  and light yellow color confirm a fairly good batch
  every time they have been made during major Solunar
  periods. Minor periods produce a somewhat fair batch,
  and in-between times have consistently yielded a poor
  quality colloid.

  Other moon factors to consider are high and low
  runs/rides, and the traditional full moon names. When
  the moon “Runs High”, or “Rides Low” on the equator,
  this refers to how high the moon is in the sky that
  day. The moon is always highest for that day when it
  souths, but its height above the southern horizon at
  southing varies during the month. It�s at its highest
  above the horizon when it souths on a “Runs High” day.
  It�s at its lowest on a “Rides Low” day, which happens
  about two weeks later. On the celestial equator, the
  moon is about halfway between these extremes and this
  occurs twice during the month. This is caused by the
  interaction of the moon�s phases and the seasons. For
  the Northern hemisphere the midsummer full moon is
  always low in the sky, whereas the midwinter full moon
  is nearly overhead.

  The traditional names of the full moons for each month
  of the year represent the qualities possessed by each
  individual moon. For example, “Harvest Moon” in
  September was said to be responsible for the ripening
  of produce. To the Romans, Diana�s day fell at the
  time of the Harvest Full Moon, and offerings were made
  to her at this time to ensure the ripening of their
  fruits. Some of the names associated with each month�s
  full moon are derived from the traditional Algonquin
  Native American or Colonial Full Moon Names as
  follows:

  January Wolf Moon, Old Moon, Winter Moon, Yule Moon.
  February Snow Moon, Hunger Moon, Trapper�s Moon.
  March Worm Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Sap Moon.
  April Pink Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Egg
  oon, Planter�s Moon.
  May Flower Moon, Corn Plant Moon, Milk Moon.
  June Strawberry Moon, Rose Moon, Honey Moon, Hot Moon.
  July Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Summer Moon, Hay Moon.
  August Sturgeon Moon, Red Moon, Green Corn Moon, Dog
  Days Moon, Wood Cutter�s Moon.
  September Harvest Moon, Fruit Moon, Dying Grass Moon.
  October Hunter�s Moon.
  November Beaver Moon, Frosty Moon.
  December Cold Moon, Long Nights Moon.

  While this is fascinating from the standpoint of
  folklore, no correlations have yet been made between
  these full moon names and their respective qualitative
  influences. The Solunar theory seems to hold true at
  all times of the year, but can be slightly altered by
  these other factors, and delicate adjustments to your
  tables (plus or minus a maximum of 45 minutes) would
  then be in order.

  As you become familiar with these Solunar periods, you
  will also begin to notice how many other daily events
  are directed by the moon�s influence. Once the
  connection has been made, there is no turning back,
  and many new discoveries concerning celestial
  influences will surely appear in time. The practical
  benefits of these correspondences are starting to
  reveal themselves to us in many ways, and hopefully
  will point us in the direction of a greater quality of
  scientific endeavors.
