Little headway has been made for the past eighty years, but with the rise of infectious diseases immune to most of our arsenal of antibiotics, alternative and less vulnerable strategies have to be found. Accordingly the race is on to find a formidable adversary capable of eradicating the so-called biofilm protected bacterial colonies that are on the increase. Strangely enough the material most likely to have any chance of success has been banned by the Australian Government in 2003. This Legislation, enacted by the Therapeutic Goods Act (TGA) prohibits the so-called colloidal silver to be advertised and/or recommended as a medicine. Instead the only reference that can be made about this material is to name it “TREATED WATER”. The reason for the introduction of this Legislation lies clearly in the domain of that part of the scientific community not having bothered to create standards and clarity as to what actually constitutes nanometre sized atomic silver clusters in suspension. My research into so-called colloidal silver started in 2008. After substantial trials and experimentation, the findings are that almost noone knows what really constitutes this liquid derivative of metallic silver. Other than flawed trials in vitro there is still no clear picture if this so-called colloidal silver is a friend or foe. Likewise, if it can actually deal with dangerous pathogens or not and how it actually works. The most likely reason for the lack of progress over all of these years is the misapprehension, thinking of it as being part of chemistry and not physics. The facts are now out, so called dispersions of colloidal silver are better named “nanometre sized atomic silver clusters in (an electrical) suspension. In addition the material can actually be produced with nothing more than pure silver, pure water, pure electricity and pure light at 420nm. It is the purpose of this paper to explain that the science for both the production and its ability to (indiscriminately) kill pathogens is by way of the world of Quantum Physics. No longer can this Quantum Silver ever be referred to as a medicine but instead adopted as an instrument and a silver instrument at that, using a combination of quantum electrocution and blue shifted ultraviolet light. Also included in this presentation are details on alternative instrumentation for use in liquid nanotechnology in general.
