Wet Method Procedure

Written by Crystal Nance

Using Dead Sea Salt:

1. First make some lye solution. Get food grade Lye granules (I like this source:
http://www.aaa-chemicals.com/sodium-hydroxide.html) and mix 1/2 cup per quart of distilled
water (or 2 cups per gallon). Make sure to always add the lye to the water, not the water to the
lye! Also, do under the fume hood of your stove or outside - you do not want to breathe in the
fumes. Wear protective gloves and goggles. Stir well as you are adding the granules and add
slowly. The solution will be cloudy at first and will heat up. As it cools, the solution will
become clear again and look just like water. Once cooled, put in an HDPE plastic container,
preferably with a dropper top and label as 1:8 lye solution. You want to always use good plastic
or glass, never metal.

2. Next you are going to rehydrate your dead sea salts. Add 1/2 cup of dead sea salts to 1 quart
distilled water. I use a liter sized plastic measuring bowl that has a pour lip on it (got it at the
Dollar Tree). Because I need to leave room for lye and stirring, I will often fill this liter-sized
bowl to 750 ml and add a little less than 1/2 cup DSS and this works good for me. Stir well until
salts dissolve.

3. Filter your dead sea water using coffee filters. This is to filter out any rocks or shells that
may have been mixed in with the salt crystals.

4. Now you are ready to do your precipitation. Put your pH meter probe in the salt water and
leave there and on the whole time. Start stirring, your starting pH will vary but should be around
7.5 - 8.5.

5. Stirring continuously, start adding the lye solution you made up a small squirt at a time. Wait
for pH to stabilize before adding more. Then add some more. Keep doing this. At some point,
you will notice that you are adding lye but the pH is not going up as fast anymore. This is a
plateau and is where you are making most of your ormus. Keep adding squirt by squirt and keep
stirring. Eventually your pH will start to jump up again. Once you see that jump, slow down
and start adding the lye a drop or two at a time. The pH will probably be around 10.2 but this
will vary as well. Just keep stirring and dropping in the lye solution. You will see the pH jump
up then fall down back to where it was - just keep going slowly and with patience. Do not let pH
ever jump over 10.78, and I usually stop when pH is holding at 10.6. You will get a feel for how
much you can add at a time and how fast. You should have been stirring the whole time but if
you get tired, stir in well your last drop of lye then you can stop and rest for a minute or two,
then start stirring again before resuming the lye. You want to avoid having localized areas of
high pH spikes - hence the constant stirring. Whole precip time will run around 30 minutes.
Again this can vary but in general 25-30 minutes.

6. Once you have reached your target pH, allow the precipitate to settle. I usually cover with
plastic wrap and let sit for at least 24 hours.

7. Now you should have about 350 ml of fluffy white precip (amount will vary) on the bottom
topped with clear water. You are going to slowly, steadily, and carefully pour off the top water
while disturbing the precip as little as possible. Best tip I can give you is not to start pouring and
then jerk back - keep it constant and steady. If you slosh it around, you will need to allow the
precip to settle again.
8. Now you are going to wash your precip. You can do it one of two ways, depending on how
many days you want to spend doing this step. You can do 3 washes, where you add 1:1 ratio of
distilled water to your precip (ex: you have 350 ml precip so add 350 ml distilled water to it) and
allow to settle for about 24-48 hours. Do this 3 times. Or you can add 3:1 distilled water (ex:
you have 350 ml precip, so add 1050 ml distilled water to it) and let settle for at least 48 hours.
If you use a measured washing container, then you will know when the precip has settled to its
original 350 ml. I prefer the first method but takes more time, but convenient if you do
everything in your original liter-sized measuring bowl. Also note that doing the wash 3 times
(the first method) will result in manna that is less salty than if you do a 3-to-1 wash. Unless you
plan to ship your manna (in which case salty is protective), then how salty your manna should be
is a personal preference. In general, the more you wash, the less salty it will be.

9. Now that your precip has been washed, pour off the top water as before leaving behind the
precip. It is now ready to be "dosed." Just add 1:1 ratio of distilled water, stir well, and bottle it
in whatever you want (plastic or glass, no metal) and it is ready for ingestion. Recommend 1/2
to 1 tsp per day on an empty stomach to start and then adjust according to your intuition and
reactions. Store in a cool, dark place way from EMF.

A few notes: Do whole procedure away from EMF and away from UV light (sunlight). Be
careful with the lye, especially initially when it is at full concentration. Even when it is diluted
1:8, you still want to wash your skin in cold water if you spill some on yourself (you can tell
because your skin will feel slick) and absolutely keep it out of your eyes!

If you want to make Ormus from Celtic Sea salt or other live salt/saltwater, you must boil it first,
then filter it. You may not get as much precipitate, so you can dissolve as much as 2 cups per
gallon of water at a time and boil covered for 10-15 minutes over fire - gas or propane stove (not
electric because generates EMF). Filter like with the Dead Sea salt, and then follow the same
directions above as with the Dead Sea salt.

Good luck with your ormus making and feel free to email me if you have any questions.
