IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER CAUTIONS

1. We recommend taking occasional breaks from consuming Ionic~Colloidal Silver for the following two reasons:

a. Growth of healthy bacteria in the gut may be slowed. It may be wise to

supplement with a probiotic (friendly bacteria) to replenish the gut from time to time.

b. A handful of people have experienced argyria after drinking large amounts of

Ionic~Colloidal Silver daily, over a long period of time. Argyria is a bluish tinge of the skin. This occurs when excess silver is eliminated through the skin and

exposed to light. Darkening of the moons of the nger nails is usually an early

sign.

The risk of argyria is considered greater for those who are ingesting incorrectly

made Ionic~Colloidal Silver and to a lesser degree, those who are decient in

selenium or vitamin E.

When making and drinking Ionic~Colloidal Silver as currently recommended by SOTA, the risk of argyria is extremely rare. Please see www.sota.com/manuals.

GENERAL CAUTION

While this technology is generally considered safe, there exists potential for rare individual reactions that cannot reasonably be foreseen. Therefore, your use of the SOTA Products constitutes your agreement that you are responsible for your decision to use the technology.

COTTON SLEEVES WITH VELCRO® OPTION

6. Put the Wrist Strap on with the Velcro

side of the Wrist

Strap face-out rather than towards the skin.

Prepare one pair of Cotton Sleeves. Each Cotton Sleeve

is sewn on three sides; to nd the open end of the Cotton

Sleeve, squeeze the long sides of the sleeve and the unsewn end will pop open.

7. Attach one Cotton Sleeve to the Wrist Strap in line with the pulse point on the thumb side of the wrist. The open end of the Cotton Sleeve will point down toward the elbow. Press

the sleeve to the Wrist Strap to rmly adhere the sleeve in

place.

Place the other Cotton Sleeve, again with the open side

towards the elbow, in line with the pulse point on the little nger side of the wrist.

This pulse point is usually harder to feel. It is located in the soft hollow on the wrist,

in line with the little nger. Press the sleeve to the Wrist Strap to rmly adhere the

sleeve in place. See image 2.

Once in place, the Velcro

will hold the Cotton Sleeves in the right position for

repeated use.

8. Take the Wrist Strap off.

9. Insert one probe from the Micropulsing Cord into each of the Cotton Sleeves. Use a gentle twisting motion to work the probes into the Cotton Sleeves.

10. Wet the Cotton Sleeves with water.

11. Put the Wrist Strap on so the damp Cotton Sleeves are against the skin over the

pulse points. See image 1.

TURNING THE UNIT ON

12. Turn the unit ON by rotating the thumbwheel switch clockwise. Turn the switch

slowly until you feel the current. If you do not feel the current, see Notes below.

When the Micropulsing Cord is plugged into the unit, the ashing GREEN and RED lights will not be on. This helps conserve the battery.

13. When nished, turn unit OFF by rotating the thumbwheel switch fully counter-

clockwise until it clicks. Do not force the ON/OFF knob past its natural stopping point.

Page 8

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual

14. Clean the wrist and apply a healing

lotion to avoid irritation.

Notes:

Suggestions for Feeling the Current: If

the current is not felt with wet Cotton Sleeves, prepare a mild salt solution to wet the sleeves. Add a few grains of salt to the water in the 50 ml dropper bottle. Alternatively, a conductive gel or aloe vera gel may be used instead of a salt solution. Drink enough water to keep the body well hydrated. The level of hydration may affect sensitivity.

Care of Micropulsing Cord: Discoloration of probes is normal. Buff occasionally to remove stains to ensure good electrical contact.

Care of Cotton Sleeves: Wash or rinse sleeves occasionally. Discard and replace Cotton Sleeves periodically.

Alternatives to Cotton Sleeves: The following items can be used in place of the Cotton Sleeves:

a. Unbleached Paper Towel: Cut a small square of paper towel large enough to wrap

around the probe 2 or 3 times. Moisten prior to use.

b. Cotton Flannel: Cut a small square of cotton annel and wrap around the probe

with thread. Moisten prior to use.

Testing the Micropulsing Function: Unplug the Micropulsing Cord with the unit on. The GREEN and RED lights on the left side of the unit should ash alternately. If

lights do not ash, check battery. If lights still do not ash, contact your supplier or

your closest repair depot. See ‘Repairs’ on page 13.

Power Supply: When Micropulsing, as a safety feature, the unit can only be powered by a 9-Volt battery.

HOW MICROPULSING SHOULD FEEL

1. The sensation is a gentle pulsing. While the microcurrents should be felt, it is not

necessary to turn the intensity control up to an uncomfortable level.

Page 9

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual

2. With repeated use, the ability to feel the microcurrents may change. It may be

necessary to increase the intensity in order to feel the microcurrents.

3. Twitching of the ngers is normal at a higher intensity.

4. During the rst weeks of use, the skin may become irritated. Over time, irritation

usually decreases or disappears. Alternating wrists each session allows any irritation to better heal.

SENSITIVE SKIN

Some individuals may be particularly sensitive to microcurrents and the irritation may continue. To minimize irritation:

1. Wash wrists thoroughly after each session and apply a healing gel or lotion such

as aloe vera, vitamin E or MSM cream.

2. Micropulse for shorter periods of time until the irritation disappears.

3. Alternate wrists daily.

4. Wet the Cotton Sleeves with distilled water or Ionic~Colloidal Silver. The silver

electrolyte has a healing effect. If unable to feel the current, try a commercial saline solution for the eyes. This is gentler than adding salt to the water.

5. A conductive gel or aloe vera gel added to the wet sleeves may help to reduce

irritation.

6. Another option is to wrap a small square of paper towel around the probes instead

of using Cotton Sleeves. Keep the paper well moistened. A small square of paper towel may last for several applications. If available, use unbleached paper towel.

7. Set the intensity dial to a comfortable level.

TYPICAL USE

Alternate wrists daily.

Length of Session: Build up time gradually. It is best to start slowly. Start with 10 to

20 minutes a day. Increase gradually to a minimum of 2 hours each day.

Length of Use: Use daily for a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. Once completed, setting a

schedule for ongoing use is benecial. Suggestions for a maintenance schedule are a)

1 to 3 times per week, b) 1 week per month, or as needed. The initial program can be repeated at any time.

Page 10

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual

Drink Plenty of Water: It’s important to drink enough water when using the unit. Drinking ozonated water is especially helpful.

Stop Gradually: Reduce the amount of time each day for the last week of use. If using the 4-part SOTA Protocol, it is suggested to stop only one part of the protocol at a time.

HOW TO USE THE IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER FUNCTION

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

1. The Silver Wires t into the two small holes in the Silver Wire Holder.

2. To insert the Silver Wires, move the spring clip away from the hole to allow the wire to slide in smoothly.

a. Insert as in the picture. Push the wire through. Most

of the wire should be below the holder. It may be easier to insert from the underside of the holder.

b. Release the clip to hold the Silver Wire snuggly in

place.

3. Repeat the above steps for the second Silver Wire and plug the Silver Wire Holder into the Silver Pulser.

HOW TO MAKE IONIC~COLLOIDAL SILVER

1. Heat 2 cups (500 ml) of distilled water to the boiling point—preferably in a non–metal container. Do not use a glass measuring cup on the stove top as it may explode.

2. Use a heat-resistant glass container to make Ionic~Colloidal Silver.

3. Place the Silver Wire Holder on the glass container immersing the Silver Wires. Keep them at least 25 mm or 1 inch from the bottom of the container.

4. Turn the unit ON by rotating the thumbwheel switch clockwise, until it clicks. It is not necessary to turn up the intensity.

When the Silver Wire Holder is plugged into the unit, the GREEN light on the

Page 11

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual

right side of the unit will come on steady. The lights on the left side of the unit

will continue to ash.

5. Stir occasionally with a non-metal utensil. Occasionally, wipe off the grey or black silver oxide that builds up on the Silver Wires.

6. Two cups (16 ounces or 500 ml) for 15 minutes will produce a 3 to 5 ppm batch of Ionic~Colloidal Silver, depending on the brand of distilled water. The concentration of silver is measured in parts per million or ppm.

7. When nished, wipe the Silver Wires with paper towel to remove residue. Buff

lightly when needed to keep them free of sediment. Harsher bufng will wear away

the silver faster.

Notes:

Impurities: If the RED light on the right side of the unit comes on while making

Ionic~Colloidal Silver, it means there are too many impurities in the water. Try a different brand of distilled water. The RED light also comes on if the two wires are touching.

Color: Ionic~Colloidal Silver remains colorless to about 5 or 6 ppm. At a slightly higher ppm it will be a pale gold color. Do not drink if it is darker than pale gold or dark grey as this indicates a higher level of impurities or larger particle sizes.

Clarity: The electrolyte should be clear. Do not drink if it is cloudy.

Storage: Pour the Ionic~Colloidal Silver into a dark glass bottle—never metal—and

store in a dark, dry place. Over time, light will degrade Ionic~Colloidal Silver by turning the electrolyte grey or black.

When made and stored properly, Ionic~Colloidal Silver retains freshness for many weeks. It is suggested, however, that you use as soon as possible. If settling occurs, it is losing potency. Do not drink any sediment.

Do not freeze, refrigerate, or expose Ionic~Colloidal Silver to extremes of temperatures as its potency may be affected.

Save on Batteries: The unit can be powered by an AC-DC wall adaptor when making Ionic~Colloidal Silver. See ‘Optional Power Input’ below.

Switch Silver Wire Positions: The silver ions only come off the wire in the positive (+) or anode terminal into the water. To equalize the wearing of the Silver Wires, exchange the position of the wires after each use. If left in the same position, only one

Page 12

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual

Silver Wire will gradually wear away.

Replacing the Silver Wires: The Silver Wires are of the highest grade .9999 or 99.99%

or 4 Nine pure ne silver. When the SOTA pure Silver Wires wear too thin, do not

replace with sterling silver, as it contains nickel, which can be toxic.

TYPICAL USE

Quantity: There is no denite amount to drink. When consumed on a regular basis—

daily or several times a week—it is best to drink no more than 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60 ml) at a time.

Larger amounts of Ionic~Colloidal Silver—1 cup or more—can be consumed for short periods of time, for example, a few weeks. It is better to take smaller amounts throughout the day rather than all at once.

Length of Use: 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60 ml) or more daily for 2 or 3 months. Ionic~Colloidal Silver can be used as needed. The initial program can be repeated at any time. If using for an extended period, it is wise to take breaks.

Strength: Laboratory testing indicates Ionic~Colloidal Silver is effective as low as 2 ppm. When ingesting on a regular basis, it is suggested to limit the strength to less than 10 ppm.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Use a 9–Volt Alkaline battery for proper operation.

OPTIONAL POWER INPUT

Both functions of the Silver Pulser can also be operated using NiMH rechargeable batteries. When purchasing rechargeable batteries, it is suggested to take the unit

with you to ensure the batteries will t the enclosure.

To use a wall adaptor for making Ionic~Colloidal Silver the output should be from 6 to 12 Volts DC with a Tip or Center Positive pin and a minimum of 500 mA (milliamperes) of current. The wall adaptor that comes with other SOTA units can be used for making Ionic~Colloidal Silver.

Caution: Exceeding the voltage rating or reverse connection may result in injury or unit failure. This will void the warranty.

To operate the Ionic~Colloidal Silver Function from a 12 Volt DC source, such as an

Page 13

The Silver Pulser Model ZBB4 Manual

automobile battery or an appropriate Solar Panel, purchase a Universal Power Cord with Tip or Center Positive.

OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS

The output voltage is a nominal 31 Volts.

Micropulsing Application: Frequency through probes is ~3.92 Hz or ½ of the Earth Schumann frequency of 7.83 Hz, (+/- 1 Hz) with a Bi-Phasic Square Wave @ 31 Volts (+/- 1 Volt) peak per cycle.

Maximum current through the probes is ~8 milliamperes into 1,000 ohms, ~12 milliamperes into a short circuit at 31 Volts peak per cycle.

Ionic~Colloidal Silver Application: The maximum current through the Silver Wires is 40 milliamperes (+/- 0.5 mA) at 31 VDC compliance voltage when the Silver Wires are touched together to short the circuit.
