For decades, engineer-researcher Wayne Rowland has been a controversial figure in the world of alternative health. His flagship product, now widely referred to as Tesla-inspired Silver Water, continues to attract attention for its benefits in parasite cleansing, immune recovery, and restoration of the gut microbiome.
Though Rowland’s formulations and theories do not fall within conventional medical frameworks, his work has sparked interest among those seeking non-pharmaceutical approaches to detoxification and gut health.
Rowland’s journey reportedly began after an industrial accident left him with what he describes as a “certain death sentence.” Declining conventional treatments, including one therapy he later believed contained mustard-gas derivatives, he turned instead to independent research.
According to his own accounts and those who worked with him, this period of experimentation led to three major developments:
- A proprietary “Tesla-lightning” method of creating colloidal silver
Rowland claimed this method used high-frequency energy, plasma arcs, and harmonics inspired by Nikola Tesla’s early electrical experiments.
- Infusion of “musical Earth frequencies” into water
He believed that water could store vibrational patterns, an idea based on Royal Raymond Rife’s research, also explored in fringe physics and water-structuring research.
- Discovery that parasite-focused frequencies eliminated cancerous tissue in his body
This experience became the turning point that led him to investigate the relationship between parasites, immunity, and chronic disease.

Why Parasites Matter: A Scientific Overview
Though parasite infections are often associated with developing nations, modern research suggests they may be far more common than assumed.
Underrecognized Prevalence
A number of studies indicate parasites are underdiagnosed in North America:
- A CDC review found that millions of Americans are infected with Toxoplasma gondii, Trichomonas vaginalis, or Cryptosporidium—often with few or misattributed symptoms.
- A 2020 review published in Clinical Microbiology Reviews emphasized that many parasitic infections remain “silent,” untested, or incorrectly labeled as autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.

How Parasites Influence the Body
Peer-reviewed research supports several mechanisms Rowland emphasized:
- Immune Suppression
Helminths can modulate and suppress the host’s immune response to ensure their survival.
Reference: McSorley & Maizels, Nature Reviews Immunology (2012).
- Neurochemical Manipulation
Parasitic organisms—including helminths and protozoa—can alter neurotransmitters, affecting mood, appetite, and cognition. Reference: Foster et al., Proceedings of the Royal Society B (2013).
- Gut Microbiome Disruption
Parasitic infections can destabilize the gut flora and provoke long-term dysbiosis.
Reference: Zaiss & Harris, Journal of Immunology Research (2016).
These scientifically recognized mechanisms align—though indirectly—with Rowland’s belief that parasites can influence behavior, energy, inflammation, and chronic health decline.
What Science Says About Colloidal Silver
While Rowland’s Tesla-style Silver Water is considered a proprietary creation, the antimicrobial effects of silver ions and nanoparticles are well documented.
Evidence-Based Antimicrobial Properties
Peer-reviewed studies demonstrate:
- Silver ions can disrupt bacterial cell membranes, interfere with respiration, and halt replication. Reference: Rai et al., Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology (2012).
- Silver nanoparticles exhibit antiparasitic activity in vitro against Leishmania and Trypanosoma species. Reference: Allahverdiyev et al., Nanomedicine (2011).
- Silver has measurable antifungal effects, including activity against Candida species. Reference: Kim et al., Mycobiology (2009).
Although these findings do not specifically validate Rowland’s formulation, they provide credible scientific parallels supporting his claim that a properly engineered colloidal silver may assist the body’s anti-parasitic and immunological processes.
Rowland’s Three-Part System for Parasite Cleansing
Rowland promotes a multi-phase protocol designed to:
- Address parasites and their toxic byproducts
- Support immune recovery
- Rebuild the damaged gut microbiome
Below is a neutral summary of the system as described by Rowland’s followers and documentation.
- Silver Water Consumption (8 Quarts Per Month Over Time)
Rowland’s supporters report using Silver Water daily during the cleanse, claiming benefits such as:
-
- Immune support
- Increased energy
- Reduction in infection symptoms
- Improved gut function after pathogen clearance
Scientific parallels
Colloidal silver is documented to exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects that may:
-
- Reduce pathogenic burden
- Support gut microbiome stabilization by reducing harmful species (though excessive use may harm beneficial flora)
- Disrupt biofilms, structures that parasites and bacteria use for protection
Reference: Lara et al., Journal of Nanobiotechnology (2015).

- Silver Water Gel for Skin and Wound Recovery
Rowland’s gel is used externally for:
-
- Wounds
- Burns
- Skin infections
- Tissue recovery
Scientific parallels
Silver-based gels are medically recognized for wound care:
-
- Silver sulfadiazine creams are routinely used for burn treatment. Reference: Atiyeh et al., Burns (2007).
- Silver dressings reduce infection rates and accelerate healing. Reference: Leaper, Journal of Wound Care (2015).
- Comprehensive Parasite Cleanse + Gut Biome Recovery
Rowland emphasizes that killing parasites is only half the battle—restoring the gut ecosystem is equally essential.
Core Components of the Protocol
For one month:
-
-
- 8 quarts Silver Water
- Ultrazyme Plus (digestive enzyme complex)
- Purple Dulse Seaweed (iodine + minerals)
- Silver Water Greens (detox + micronutrients)
- Lugol’s Iodine (thyroid and antimicrobial support)
- Off-label dewormers (not medically endorsed; anecdotal use only)
-
For compromised individuals:
-
-
- Ultrabiotic Plus (probiotic)
- Bio-DynaZyme
- Serrapeptase (biofilm disruptor)
-
The Goal
The protocol aims to:
-
-
- Reduce parasitic load
- Break down biofilms protecting pathogens
- Detoxify the gut
- Rebuild microbiome diversity
- Improve nutrient absorption
- Restore immune balance
-
Scientific parallels
Biofilm Disruption
Serrapeptase and silver both show biofilm-disrupting potential. Reference: Jakubovics & Burgess, Journal of Oral Microbiology (2015).
Digestive Enzymes
Enzyme therapy has been studied for inflammatory bowel conditions. Reference: Ukleja et al., Current Gastroenterology Reports (2011).
Iodine
Lugol’s Iodine has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, including against protozoa and bacteria. Reference: Gottardi, Journal of Hospital Infection (1991).
Probiotics
Post-parasite-cleansing probiotic supplementation is supported by clinical studies to restore gut flora. Reference: Hill et al., Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology (2014).
What Followers Report
Those who follow Rowland’s system describe outcomes such as:
-
- Reduced chronic inflammation
- Disappearance of long-term infections
- Improved digestion and elimination
- Enhanced mental clarity
- Skin improvements
- Greater energy stability
While these claims are anecdotal rather than clinically verified, Rowland’s user base spans decades, and reports continue to accumulate.

Controversy and Criticism
Medical community concerns:
-
- Long-term oral silver consumption may pose risks of argyria (skin discoloration).
- Off-label use of antiparasitics is not medically endorsed.
- Many of Rowland’s metaphysical explanations lack a scientific basis.
Supporters argue:
-
- Conventional medicine underestimates the prevalence of parasites in industrialized nations.
- Silver at low, controlled concentrations has a long history of safe use.
- The protocol is holistic, addressing not just parasite death but whole-system repair.

A Bridge Between Experience and Science
Wayne Rowland’s Silver Water and parasite cleanse program occupies a unique space between bioenergetic experimentation, microbiome science, and traditional antimicrobial practices.
While many aspects remain unproven in clinical settings, core elements of his system, such as silver’s antimicrobial properties, the importance of biofilm disruption, and the need for microbiome restoration, align meaningfully with contemporary scientific research.
For individuals exploring alternative approaches to gut and parasite health, Rowland’s program represents a comprehensive, structured system, supported by hundreds of thousands of anecdotal recovery stories and a growing body of adjacent scientific evidence.
