We continually pick up the newspaper or turn on the news and hear about the latest research on producing “stem cells.” It may, therefore, come as quite a surprise to many to find that some of the leading medical researchers have proven that the highest quality stem cells can be easily produced, both artificially or where and when needed. Not only that, but it was proven that the human and animal body could predict exactly the number of stem cells it would need to heal a wound. Under the right conditions the body would produce exactly that number, use them all and have no extra left over! Amazing! Still more surprising may be that you can easily do the same thing yourself at home.
            So what is the big push for stem cells all about? The real search is for a stem cell process that can be patented and thereby controlled and sold for huge money by the drug companies. If the process of producing them can be patented  they can be stored and shipped and injected under complex procedures so that huge money is made in the process. If the knowledge of how to produce them can be kept out of the hands of the common people, they can hold the fear of life or death over the sick and injured and dole it out at their price. They are the wizards holding the wands of healing.
            Normally a cell can only reproduce as the kind of cell it is. A skin cell can only reproduce itself as another skin cell and then only of the layer of skin it is from. A heart cell can only reproduce a heart cell, etc. A stem cell is a cell that has no tissue signature. It can become a skin cell, a heart cell, a lung cell or a bone cell, etc. It can become anything.
            To better understand the subject, you need to understand the difference between stem cells, undifferentiated cells and dedifferentiated cells. Stem cells have not become any particular cell. They usually come from an embryo, fetus or umbilical cord. Undifferentiated cells come from bone marrow, primarily the femurs. Dedifferentiated cells are cells that have been differentiated as a red blood cell, skin cell, muscle cell etc. but have changed into an undifferentiated cell. Now they can become any cell needed. The only difference in the three is their history. They are all the same as stem cells, and have the DNA of the donor.  For the sake of simplicity they will all be called “stem cells” herein except where the difference is important to understanding the subject.
            Some parents have produced an embryo only for the purpose of providing stem cells for a member of the family. Laboratories routinely produce embryos for making stem cells. The questions of using stem cells from embryos and fetuses has become a hotly debated issue.  The embryo may be killed to obtain the stem cells, which can be used in other humans if the DNA is a close enough match.  The DNA is a big problem. It is a foreign DNA to the user. It is like a donated organ in that the immune system tends to reject it. Therefore the immune system must usually be suppressed in order to accept it. And like a donated organ, the stem cell reproduces with its still foreign DNA and the immune system will probably have to be suppressed indefinitely.
            A strong immune system is certainly one of our most valuable assets. One of our highest goals health wise is to build a strong immune system. Are we then to trade our immune system for the truly fantastic healing quality of stem cells and become permanently dependent on medication as a replacement for our immune system? 
            Our bodies have some undifferentiated cells coming from the bone marrow and other tissues all the time. Therefore some hospitals are experimentally separating them out of the patients’ blood, making an embryo from the nucleus for implantation. Or the cells are frozen and saved  for planned future use. A very expensive process. However, assuming they are not damaged in freezing, they are of the patients own DNA and the process has produced some impressive results. These stem cells can then be injected where needed. But this can be expensive, time consuming—and the patient may not have much time left.
          Quite recently scientists in both Wisconsin and Japan have reported success in taking some cells from a patient and injecting a genetically altered virus into the cells to produce cells which behave ALMOST like stem cells and have the DNA of the patient.  But so far the cells thus produced are not the same as the patients and it is doubtful that we will ever be sure that they are. Will they then reproduce defective cells?
            It seems without stem cells, the body can only heal by the tissue growing from the existing tissue of the same kind. Where a lot of tissue is missing, the healing tissue must grow from what is still there. Thus where a large patch of skin is missing, the wound must heal from the edges inward. In an effort to heal where proper  healing is not possible, scar tissue develops. Scar tissue is composed of deformed cells and when they are worn out they reproduce themselves in the deformed condition. Thus scars usually last indefinitely.
            But there is a solution. You can make as many of your own dedifferentiated cells as you need!  And they will be of your own DNA. It is very simple and easy! IN THE PRESENCE OF IONIC SILVER, THE BODY  DEDIFFERENTIATES AS MANY CELLS AS IT NEEDS!  
            In his best seller: “The Body Electric,” noted research scientist, Dr. Robert O. Becker reviews his experiments in attempting to regenerate full limbs in humans. Although he ran out of research funds before he succeeded in fully accomplishing this, he did establish much in understanding the healing processes. Basically, in seven years of research he found that a very low DC electrical current run between a positive electrode and a negative electrode produced a healing effect in bones. He experimented with several metals for his electrodes: gold, platinum, titanium, stainless steel and silver. The results with the silver were many times more effective than any of the others. He proceeded to experiment to find out why. His findings were that the DC electrical current was drawing positive silver ions off of the positive electrode and it was the silver ions that increased the healing so dramatically. This is very similar to the low voltage process of producing ionic silver. The product produced is also similar to that produced by the  “Bredig’s Process,” invented by Georg Bredig in the 1880’s. These are the basic processes by which ionic silver is produced and the silver ions he speaks of are ionic silver. Dr. Becker further proved that in the presence of sufficient silver ions the body would produce all the stem cells it needed! Without the silver it could not do so.
            Medical science insists that a red blood cell cannot dedifferentiate because it has no nucleus. That seems like an obvious conclusion. Dr Becker was of this opinion to begin with. And yet when he studied the changes in the production of stem cells in fine increments, most of the stem cells came from red blood cells! An extended study revealed that red blood cells have a nucleus before becoming a red blood cell. When the cell differentiates into a red blood cell it looses its nucleus, reducing its size and allowing it to flow through the blood vessels more easily.  In the process of dedifferentiating the red blood cell first redevelops its nucleus and then becomes dedifferentiated. Thus, when a scab forms over a wound, it has all the potential cells for dedifferentiating but commonly these cells do not do so. In the presence of silver they do so if needed.      
Dr Becker named a whole chapter “The Silver Wand” in his book “The Body Electric.” He devoted the whole chapter to the
effects of “the amazing silver ion” The “silver wand” he referred to is his silver electrode.  On page 175 of his book, Dr. Becker states: “We may have only scratched the surface of positive silver’s medical brilliance. Already it’s an amazing tool. It stimulates bone-forming cells, cures the most stubborn infections of all kinds of bacteria, and stimulates healing in skin and other soft tissues. …there may be other marvels latent in this magic caduceus. …Whatever its precise mode of action may be, the electrically generated silver ion can produce enough cells for human blastemas (the material that is produced from stem cells and becomes the healthy healed tissue); it has restored my belief that full regeneration of limbs, and perhaps other body parts, can be accomplished in humans… WE DON’T KNOW HOW ELECTRICALLY PRODUCED SILVER IONS DIFFER FROM ORDINARY DISSOLVED IONS, ONLY THAT THEY DO.  Silver ions are ionic colloidal silver. Dissolved silver ions are from a silver salt.
            Note that Dr. Becker makes a clear statement that with silver, “the technique makes it possible to produce large numbers of dedifferentiated cells…” Note also that these “dedifferentiated cells”(stem cells) would be of the patients own DNA. If this is true (and I will show further evidence that it is), why all the struggle to produce stem cells from embryos and other expensive and morally questionable techniques? Could it be because it is so simple and safe that anyone can do it, even at home? It is already being done by thousands of people in the alternative health field without their realizing it. It simply has a reputation for magical healing. If the common people ever wake up to this, the medical field will lose billions of dollars.        
Dr Becker describes in detail the healing of various patients with multiple infections of the bone and flesh that were not treatable by conventional medical practice but responded dramatically to the silver ion. He has written several papers and books concerning ionic silver. Among them are: Robert O. Becker MD and J.A. Spadaro, “Treatment of Orthopedic Infections with Electrically Generated Silver Ions”, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol. 60-A, January 9, 1978,  and “Treatment of Orthopedic Infections with Electrically Generated Silver Ions” The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, American Volume 60-A, No 7, October, 1978.
 Cancer researcher, Gary Smith, has independently arrived at a similar conclusion from researching cancer. In a private letter, he states: “Success (in cancer treatment) depends on silver in the person’s body. When silver is present, the cancer cells DEDIFFERENTIATE and the body is restored... When silver levels are… non-existent, the cancer growth rate…continues…because the cells cannot dedifferentiate. …I suspect a silver deficiency is possibly one of the reasons cancer exists and is increasing at such a rapid rate.” (Note that cancer is one of the main targets of stem cells on present day research) He suggests it is natural to have enough silver in our bodies to produce all the stem cells we need. He suggests we do not have that silver because our food is raised on depleted land.
Along this line of thinking, it is very interesting that some cancer researchers are now suggesting that we should KILL the stem cells in cancers “because they multiply very fast, like cancer cells.”  So some are trying to increase the stem cells in cancer as a treatment while a few  others are trying to eliminate them! The reason for destroying them is that they promote rapid cell growth, much like cancer cells.
This brings up another subject. The principle of chemotherapy is to destroy the fastest growing cells in the body. The fastest growing cells in the body are the stem cells, the very cells they are now showing we need the most!  The more we study their work the more we doubt that they know what they are doing. Statistics do not help the medical professions position.
            A lot of the experimentation in stem cells at the present is in the treatment of cancer and the results are reported to be dramatic. We are now being told the main problem is in obtaining sufficient stem cells to treat the cancer. Some present researchers in stem cells are now collecting stem cells from the cancer patient in a series of processes, freezing them and then using them in cancer treatment later. Considerable success is being reported.
            Why, then, are the stem cells not being produced and used by the medical field if we already know how to produce them easily and with the patients own DNA? Dr. Becker throws some light on this subject. After the most careful and well documented research over a period of seven years, the medical establishment in general refused to pay any serious attention to his amazing results. He suggests one reason for this is early research going back as much as two hundred years in which researchers with electrical currents used in therapy were ridiculed and they were denied any examination of their work. It was completely unrelated to the chemical concepts of the day. Since it is known that it didn’t work then, it is doubly rejected without consideration in this “enlightened” age. The accepted opinion of science refuses to examine anything they cannot understand regardless of the evidence. Scientists are only interested in consecutive incremental developments in the same direction. The history of science is full of stories of “new developments” received with great enthusiasm which had been made public long, long ago and the accepted scientists of that time being ridiculed, his work refused an examination. Often he died in prison for his efforts. The concept of the “open minded scientist” is largely a myth. Of course, if someone can see a fast profit in it, they will usually obtain its acceptance.
            Another reason it is not accepted by the medical profession is that virtually all the information doctors and legislators get concerning health topics are from the drug companies. That is true in medical school and in practice. Today doctors usually are updated twice a day by salesmen in their office from a drug company. They don’t have time to look for the results of independent researchers. Generally, doctors do not access research and developments that do not fit the profile of a drug companies profits. The drug companies continually spoon feed the doctors what they want them to believe. Also, any idea that the common people can easily and safely produce and use their own stem cells or otherwise treat themselves is completely repugnant to the entire medical establishment. It would cost the medical establishment billions of dollars.
            Outside of medical research, what evidence do we have that ionic silver will produce stem cells? Many users’ experience. A good example is the injury to the thoroughbred filly shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. She ripped a hole all the way to the bone several inches in diameter. The vet said the bone would certainly be infected. If she was not taken to the horse hospital immediately, the bone scraped and the wound thoroughly cleaned, the horse would not survive.  Even then he said it would leave only a thin layer of tissue  over the bone with a depressed and scarred area with no hair. The horse was ruined. The owner was given a $28,000 estimated vet bill to save the animal, which the owner could not afford.  Instead, the wound was flushed out with a garden hose, hydrogen peroxide from the grocery store poured into it, flushed out with a garden hose again, and then flushed with 20 PPM ionic silver. A large wad of cotton was soaked with ionic silver and packed into the hole. This was held in place with an elastic bandage. This was done every day until it was healed. The horse completely recovered with not the slightest sign of a scar. Looking at Fig. 1 you can see the healing well under way with what Dr. Robert O. Becker described as “The granular growth over the bone.” At other places he speaks of it as a “pink carpet.”  The new muscle has grown over the bone and it is filling in from the sides also, with no scar tissue. Note that almost no infection formed at any time and the little that did was quickly treated. One day, the filly chewed off the bandage, flies got into the wound and the wound was black with fly feces. But that infection cleared up in a couple of days with no problems. In picture 2 you can see it has almost healed. The white spots are from the hydrogen peroxide bleaching the hair in places.  The evidence is clear that it was healed by stem cells produced by the ionic silver as Dr. Becker describes.
            The filly completely recovered. There is no scarring. The hair grew back naturally and in picture 3 there is no sign of where the injury was. Even upon close examination, there is no way to tell where the injury was. The horse shows no limp or favoritism to the leg. It is as though it never happened. The horse was trained and ridden as a yearling along with the other yearlings. She is now being trained as a jumper.
            Another case of interest is the arm of Betty of Huntington Beach, CA. In her words:
            “At age of 89 my skin has become very thin and my body no longer heals as fast as it used to. I stumbled and scraped my arm against the wall causing an abrasion about 2 ½ inches long and ¾ inches wide. It bled heavily. A medical aid changed the dressing and applied antibiotic cream daily. It took nearly four months to finally heal and left a large scar the size of the original wound.’
            “About two months after the first injury healed I stumbled again causing a second wound of nearly the same size as the first. This time the medical aide used your ionic silver instead of antibiotic cream to treat the wound. She changed the dressing daily and I moistened the dressing several times each day with ionic silver. We were both amazed how fast the wound healed. Instead of taking months to heal, this time it took 16 days. And, instead of a large scar, there was only a narrow reddened line where the injury had been. After several months the skin in the area of the wound has returned to normal. Unless you knew where I injured my arm, you would not be able to see where the wound had been.” This can be seen on picture number 4.
            I have received a number of similar stories to these, but no pictures. I did receive word from a pig farmer in Japan that he had excessive deaths in his pigs and so began giving them ionic silver. This brought the death rate way down, but also unexpectedly increased their growth rate dramatically. As a result another pig farmer in Korea tried the silver in the drinking water of his pigs and his report was identical. Is this due to the stem cells produced, or to the killing of the trichinosis so common to pigs? I do not know. However, a couple of back yard gardeners have experimented with silver on tomatoes. One of them reports the treated tomato plants grew to three times the size of otherwise identical tomatoes, producing three times as much  tomatoes than the untreated plant,  the tomatoes were three times the weight individually and of better quality than the untreated. Two other reports from users report lemon trees being saved from a serious fungus by ionic silver and afterward growing much faster than other trees in the same orchard as well as recovering their production for the year. Is this due to stem cells? Certainly these cases prove nothing but they do raise questions and hint at possibly stem cells in plants and animals produced the same way.  

            So what is this “silver ion” Dr. Becker speaks of? It is the same thing as is sold as ionic colloidal silver. Like most all elements, silver can take on many forms. Basically the forms of silver are the solid, chemicals of silver and colloids of silver. The chemicals of silver are mostly salts, such as silver nitrate, silver sulfate, silver chloride  etc , and the silver proteins. The colloids are particles of silver small enough to float freely in water. They also tend to move in the water with a peculiar “Brownian motion”.
            Silver is recorded in history as a preventive or treatment of disease as far back as history. Silver “scalpels” were used by the ancient Egyptians in surgery. Copper was said to produce an uncontrollable decay of the flesh and a wound from a copper sword was dreaded. During the Crusades, the barons almost always carried a silver cup with them which many drank from and it was said a person could not catch a disease from another by drinking out of the same silver cup. Most of the super wealthy have used silver table ware even though they could have had gold and even though the silver tarnished and the gold did not. It always had a reputation for preventing disease. Before the days of refrigeration it was common to put a silver dollar in a jar of milk to keep it from spoiling. Until very recent times, doctors have used silver when necessary to hold bones together and cover holes in the skull.
            There are many very different products sold today as “colloidal silver” which are drastically different.  Almost two hundred years ago doctors learned they could grind silver up into a fine powder much like flour and it would treat otherwise incurable diseases such as syphilis. Doctors usually avoided using it however, because it commonly produced argyrea, a bluing of the skin which was permanent. Silver nitrate was also commonly used as a disinfectant and  a legal requirement was adopted in many countries to wash newborn babies’ eyes with it to prevent infection.
            Around 1880 a scientist by the name of Georg Bredig developed a process of producing a much superior product by producing an electrical arc under water between two silver electrodes. He used a very high voltage (thousands of volts) to produce this arc which ate away the silver to form a silver colloid of very small particle size in a positive ionic form (an ion is an electrically charged atom). This product did not produce argyria and was much more effective than the powdered silver or silver nitrate.
            Bredig’s silver did have two disadvantages however. First the extremely high voltage could be quite dangerous especially around water. Second, it was extremely slow. As a result the pharmaceutical companies preferred to produce and sell silver salts, preferably silver nitrate. They went so far as to obtain laws requiring it to be used in every baby’s eyes when born. However, silver nitrate has severe problems. It attacks the flesh, stains everything it touches black and the stain is very hard to remove. The silver nitrate prevented a baby from blindness caused by infection from its mother during birth. However, it had to be used carefully or it would attack the eyes and itself produce a permanent blindness. Some people believed it always damaged a baby’s eyes to some extent and it was often said a baby that had been treated with it had duller eyes than those not treated.
            The continued use of the silver salts, and occasionally the ground silver by doctors gave the silver a bad reputation and was considered a treatment more or less as a last resort. Then came the antibiotics with a huge push from the drug companies. The silver treated bacteria, virus and fungus effectively. It treated almost every strain if each of these. The new antibiotics treated certain bacteria only. An exact diagnosis was often required before the proper antibiotic could be prescribed. The silver had another very strange and desirable quality which the antibiotics did not. The silver was very selective in the bacteria it killed! It distinguished between the beneficial bacteria and the unfriendly bacteria and only killed the unfriendly bacteria! Unfortunately the medical field took Pasture’s great finding of bacteria and their relationship to disease and built their unquestioned science of disease as a product of bacteria. Their general attitude was that all bacteria are to be avoided. It is now well known that many bacteria are essential to good health. It is now known that very few, bacteria will cause disease unless something in the person is badly out of balance. There is far more money in treating the symptoms of disease than in treating the cause. Still the general attitude of doctors is “kill the bacteria” and that is what antibiotics tend to do. This often results in killing the necessary bacteria in the digestive system and probably other parts of the body. For its chemical production the liver often uses certain bacteria, just as the pharmaceutical companies do.  Antibiotics kill indiscriminately.
While the medical doctors treated fungus and virus effectively with the silver before the days of antibiotics, once the antibiotics entered the picture, the medical field now took the position that virus and fungus were untreatable. They then gave their antibiotics to patients for virus, although all official positions were that antibiotics would not treat virus. In more recent times, the drug companies have developed antifungal products, but they are well known to be very hard on the liver and of minor effect. Even such substances as iodine, mercurochrome, etc. kill indiscriminately and usually attack the flesh to some degree. Silver, instead is very healing.
            In more recent times a process of producing ionic silver by a very low voltage current has been developed. I have been working to improve this procedure for fourteen years now. It is a very safe version of Bredig’s Process. Unfortunately the process has one problem. If a water containing any impurities in it is used the silver often combines with the impurities producing undesirable products. Without the impurities the water will not conduct the necessary electrical current to produce the silver in the water. As a result many people are producing a product by this means using common table salt as an electrolyte. This largely produces silver chloride, which is insoluble in water and therefore collects in the tissues. When used in large amounts silver chloride will produce a discoloration of the skin, called argyria. Perhaps you have seen pictures of “the blue man” on TV or in the news. He was producing his silver in this manner, using salt, and drinking it like water over a long period of time.
            Another common form of “colloidal silver” is “mild silver protein,” a mixture of silver compounds and gelatin (Jell-O) or other protiens. It is often used by medical researchers because it is convenient to them while the production of high quality ionic silver is not. Silver proteins can be produced easily and cheaply in high concentrations. It is often sold as being in very high parts per million and as therefore assumed to be very effective. The high parts per million is largely the protein rather that the silver. The silver is chemically bound to the protein and therefore not easily available.  Their large particle size and the chemical bonding of the silver reduces their effectiveness.
            My daughter and I have been selling an automated ionic silver generator which works quite well using only distilled water for fourteen years now. We have sold over 7,000 of these and not one customer has ever complained of any discoloration of the skin. We are on the phone a large part of the time with customers and no medical problem has developed although the FDA has continually warned them they would turn blue!
            Our product is a colloid because it is small particles suspended in water. It is ionic because those particles carry a positive charge. Elements not chemically bound are never dissolved in water, but are in colloidal form. Some argue that our products is not a colloid because it is ionic and therefore is dissolved. This is not true. When a chemical goes into solution, it breaks down into ions, one part positive, and one part negative. When it ceases to be dissolved those ions recombine. Our silver acts very differently.  The difference in action between these various substances all referred to as “colloidal silver” is difficult to debate. However, results are not. All produce some beneficial results. But there is a difference, and even more so in the case of producing stem cells. In the words of research scientist Dr. Robert O. Becker, “ We don’t know how electrically produced silver ions differ from ordinary dissolved ions, only that they do.” The only silver ions are the ionic colloidal silver. The rest are either not ionic or are dissolved ions.

            I now have one patent on this process and another pending which makes the production from pure water practical, computerizes the production to an exacting concentration and breaks down each of the particles produced into OVER ONE THOUSAND ionized particles! All fluids in humans, animals and plants are in ionic form. Alfred Searl, founder of Searl Pharmaceuticals did extensive research on ionic silver up to the early 1930’s and stated: “Applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishing results.” A very interesting concept that he brings up is that in the ionic form the silver is especially effective because the bacteria are ionic and therefore the silver latches onto them, like steel to a magnet, suffocating them. More interestingly he states the ionic silver attaches itself to toxins, which are ionic and this attachment aids in removing the toxins.    
            Through modern science, such products as ionic silver, DMSO and its derivative MSM as well as all the old and very effective health products of our ancestors, are making a return of the people back to effectively treating themselves without the dangers of the drugs a reality and the bacteria phobia which has been foisted on the people through our schools and news media is beginning to lose its hold on people. The people are beginning to understand that for any living thing to be unhealthy, it must be out of harmony with life in general and the only real way to restore health is to restore the harmony.

About the Author

Marvin Lee Robey grew up on a small farm with a woods and small creek.
His father was a graduate of PurdueUniversity with a degree in electrical
and mechanical engineering. As a small boy his father taught him many
things about science and nature.
            By the time he was 12 years old he had completed an elementary
course in composition of forces and passed a school test in geometry,
developing the formulas from his own logic. At 15 he won first place in a
drafting competition competing against all grades in five high schools.
at 16 he won the Bosh and Lomb science award.
            By this time Marvin had become very disillusioned with formal
education and decided it kept students too busy working for grades to
develop a mind of their own, or do research on their own, and by the
time they had graduated from collage they usually had very little mind
of their own. He soon observed that people with specialized degrees such
as lawyers, doctors, historians, ministers, psychiatrists and teachers based
their beliefs on the concept that the only way to know anything was by
being told (taught). He also observed that what they were taught in formal
education was wrong as much of the time as it was right. They gathered
their viewpoints based upon the views of the most accepted authority on
the subject. Thus, in most cases they based their life on the most accepted
authority of the moment (politically correct), doing whatever they were
instructed to do. Theleaders of society were little more than sheep themselves.
Therefore, he decided to educate himself rather than spend years in a
 university.
            The result is a wealth of uncommon but important knowledge.
