Silver iontophoresis is the use of an electric field, just as is generated between the ends of a battery, to move atoms of silver with an electron knocked off so that they have a positive electric charge (‘cations’), through living tissue.

The silver cations can be transported either through the skin and deep into the body, or across the skin, depending on how the SIS electrodes are positioned. Silver iontophoresis can thereby be applied for the treatment of an internal infection, or for the treatment of a skin infection.

Silver iontophoresis is achieved with very small electric currents that are in the very low microampere range, which are billionths of an Ampere of electric current, and so cannot be felt.

No. None of the side effects known to be caused by antibiotics and antiviral drugs have been reported from the hundreds of applications of silver iontophoresis for infection and other treatments over a period of more than 7 years at the Electromedicine Clinic, Melbourne, Australia, where the SIS equipment was developed and continues to be used regularly.

Additionally, none of the side effects of antibiotics were reported by the electromedicine pioneer, American orthopedic surgeon Robert O Becker (1923-2008), nor by his research associates during their many hospital applications of silver-nylon cloth electrodes iontophoresis for infection treatments and tissue healing.

APPLICATIONS & RESULTS >

Yes, the M200 model can be programmed for the treatment of yeast and fungal infections.

No. The SIS machines are not appropriate for the treatment of parasite infections.

As a manufacturer of medical equipment, we do not give medical advice. Here is our general reply to this question:

A ‘neoplasm’ is the medical term for what is commonly called a “malignancy” or “cancer”. Neoplasms are occurrences that form over time, as a result of many very complex and simultaneous processes.

The SIS machines are not designed nor claimed to be effective when applied alone in the treatment of neoplasms.

Many neoplasms are known to be caused by infections, in addition to many other simultaneous co-factors. These include but are not limited to the more well-known neoplasms that can develop in the liver, stomach, and cervix in females. There is gradually accumulating evidence that neoplasms in other organs of the body might also be caused by infections, especially by viruses.

In so far as neoplasms have infectious agent co-factor causes, then the M200 model SIS machine can be applied to treat these infections. However, as explained above, most neoplasms have multiple, simultaneous co-factor causes. The M200MA model SIS machine can also be applied to stimulate normal programmed cell death (‘apoptosis’) within neoplasms.

We explicitly disclaim that the SIS machines can be applied alone to treat neoplasms.

If the SIS machines are applied for the treatment of neoplasms, they should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment program, under the guidance of a Healthcare Professional.

No, none. One of the major aims of the SIS Machines Project is to supply directly to individuals, anywhere in the world, advanced electromedical equipment, that is fast and simple to apply, and that they can use capably at home, without any medical expertise.

We also give full and ongoing support with the SIS equipment for correct and optimal application.

Yes, with very successful results that resulted in the recovery of the patients. In these cases, within major and regional hospitals in Melbourne, Australia, an M200 model SIS machine was used at the insistence of the patients and/or their families, when standard treatments with intravenous and oral antibiotics were not giving the necessary results for these patients’ acute or emergency infections.

The hospital doctors were aware of and included the applications of the SIS equipment in their clinical notes.

Additionally, no adverse affects were reported by the hospital doctors or nurses.

APPLICATIONS & RESULTS >

Yes. We provide full and ongoing support to the original-purchase user of SIS equipment for its correct and optimal application.

We will always communicate promptly, and with as much help and detail as necessary for correct and optimal application of the SIS machines.

Typically, for a severe or acute infection, with recommended 24/7 continuous use, from clinical experience we recommend replacement of the +ve SIS electrode every 12-48 hours, and replacement of the -ve (‘Return’) SIS electrode every 24-48 hours, depending on anatomical location and other factors such as ambient temperature that will affect sweating.

More information

Detailed information and instructions for application of the SIS electrodes are included in the SIS machines’ operating manuals, and in the Instructions For Use included in each SIS electrode pack.

No, the SIS electrodes are not ‘sticky’. They need to be held onto the body using standard, adhesive medical tape or other types of physiotherapy or injury rehabilitation tape. Bandages or other emergency means can also be used.

A 10 meter roll of Fixomull® Transparent or Fixomull® Stretch medical tape is included in the Treatment Pack delivered with each SIS machine, for the following SIS machine models:

M200, W200, WMcAMP, M200MA

Replacement medical tape is a generally available, non-prescription item from any chemist or pharmacy, and from our SHOP >

The SIS M200 model has also been designed with small-scale water treatment and purification purposes in mind.

We have not yet conducted an independent laboratory test of water sterilization. We therefore disclaim that we imply or have any data to support or confirm the usefulness of the SIS equipment for these purposes at this time. We intend to conduct the necessary assessment soon [Target: 2018].

Yes, very easily with the M200 model. The silver stimulation surface of the SIS electrodes are 99+% pure silver (Ag). When two SIS electrodes (anode and cathode) are immersed into a container of distilled or purified water, an ionic/colloidal solution will be produced.

Alternatively, the SIS machine harness (connecting wire) can be easily connected to widely available pure silver rods made specifically for “colloidal silver” production, using the set of Alligator Clip Harness Adaptors supplied with each SIS machine M200 model.

No, they are entirely different. Please click on the link to read about the SIS machine M200 model for infection treatments, or first read the information below.

DELIVERY OF INGESTED SILVER IONS INSIDE THE BODY

“Colloidal silver” (ionic silver solution), though certainly of use for surface infections, has major limitations for the treatment of internal infections. The human body is often imagined as something like a bathtub of water: if you drop a substance into it, it will spread out and automatically go everywhere. In anatomical and physiological reality, the body is extremely compartmentalized and barriered, at every order of anatomical scale–down to the sub-cellular level. Silver ions do not automatically travel inside the body to where it is wished that they go.

INTERNAL ANATOMY PATHWAYS

For orally ingested silver ion solution or spray there are a million, million molecular binding sites available for them, starting high up in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract itself. For illustration, the chances of getting a therapeutic dose of silver ions to a kidney infection are probably very small. After taking the colloidal silver orally, the silver ions must get through the stomach–where they can bind to the stomach’s hydrochloric acid, then go through at least part of GI tract. If they are not directly absorbed through the walls of the intestines into the local blood vessels, then they must go through the portal venous system up and through the liver, then to the heart, in and out of the lungs where the blood is oxygenated, back to the heart, then back into the systemic bloodstream, back around and down through the body, then through the renal (kidney supplying) arteries, and eventually into the inner compartments of the infected kidney.

INFLAMMATION HINDERS MEDICATION DELIVERY

Inflammation affects the delivery of any medication or other substance. When inflammatory chemicals are elevated in infected areas of the body, a reduced amount of medicine or possibly even no medicine at all, reaches the infected area via the bloodstream. A technical journal article that discusses the role of  inflammatory processes is here.

THE SIS TECHNOLOGY

The operation of the SIS machines does not depend on blood flow. Operating on the basic physics of electric voltage and electric current, a constant direct current (DC) is delivered via the shortest possible route, directly to the infected area.

HOW IT WORKS >

No, “zappers”, Rife machines, and “bioresonance” devices are all electromagnetic frequency generating devices.

SIS machines models M200, M200MA and W200 are direct current (DC) silver iontophoresis devices. They have no Output Current or Output Voltage frequency, as they are DC devices. The M200, M200MA and W200 model SIS machines have no functional or therapeutic similarity to any frequency generating device.

Please read HOW IT WORKS >

No. The SIS machines should not be compared to commonly available microcurrent stimulators either electronically or therapeutically.

WARNING: GENERALLY AVAILABLE MICROCURRENT STIMULATORS, AND OTHER ELECTRO-STIMULATORS THAT HAVE ELECTRONIC SPECIFICATIONS THAT INCLUDE THE MILLIAMPERE (mA) RANGE OF OUTPUT CURRENT, ARE NOT CAPABLE OF THE ELECTRONIC REQUIREMENTS OF ULTRA-LOW MICROCURRENT (LOW INTENSITY DIRECT CURRENT) FOR SILVER IONTOPHORESIS USING SILVER-NYLON CLOTH AS THE +ve AND -ve ELECTRO-CHEMICAL ANODE AND CATHODE, AND SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH THE SIS ELECTRODES IN CASE OF UNPREDICTABLE TISSUE DAMAGE, BURNS AND OTHER ADVERSE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS.

More information

The SIS machines are direct current (DC) devices that are necessary for silver iontophoresis; they have no output stimulation frequency. Most currently available microcurrent stimulators are not DC devices: they are pulsed waveform, frequency generating devices.

For silver iontophoresis using silver-nylon cloth electrodes as the +ve and -ve electro-chemical anode and cathode for the release of silver cations (Ag+s), extremely stable and high accuracy ultra-low microcurrent (low intensity DC) is required, down to the nanoampere range and resolution accuracy, which is beyond the capabilities of generally available microcurrent stimulators.
