The Anunnaki elixir of life, in Billy Carson's telling, is a drink described on a Sumerian tablet and prepared by the goddess Ninhursag, which he says combined colloidal silver with other ingredients. In this short live stream from spring 2020, Carson connects that story to his own morning routine: meditation, stretching, then warm lemon water with a little aloe juice, a measure of monoatomic gold and a measure of colloidal silver, taken before breakfast. The video is a demonstration of how he personally takes the two products he sells, framed by his reading of ancient sources.
The topic matters for two reasons. Carson is asked constantly what he actually takes and how, and this stream is his direct answer, recorded so he could point people to it. It also sits on a line that deserves care: Sumerian literature does speak of a "food of life" and "water of life", but the step from those texts to a modern supplement is Carson's interpretation, not something the tablets say.
What the video covers
The Sumerian elixir and Ninhursag (early in the video)
Carson opens by stating that there is "an actual Sumerian tablet" describing an elixir the Anunnaki would mix. He names Ninhursag as the one responsible, describing her as "basically the person in charge of medical staff and medical treatments" among the Anunnaki. In his account, the elixir of life was a combination of several things, and one of them was colloidal silver. He does not name the tablet in the stream.
Thoth and the bottle (early in the video)
Holding up the colloidal silver he was selling at the time, under the older Forbidden Oz branding, Carson explains why Thoth appears on the label: the image comes from the cover of his book, the Compendium of the Emerald Tablets. He says colloidal silver was first brought to humans by Thoth, whom he calls "the Atlantean", and that Thoth spoke about it more than 30,000 years ago. This is his position and comes from the Emerald Tablets tradition he writes about, not from Egyptian or Sumerian sources.
Monoatomic gold in ancient Egypt (a few minutes in)
Carson then turns to the second bottle, the monoatomic gold, which he refers to as ORMUS and says he has taken for close to 30 years. He states that evidence of it has been found in temples, pyramid structures and altars across Egypt, and that in ancient times people took this gold powder, combined it with distilled water and drank it.
The morning routine, step by step (around the midpoint)
The core of the stream is the routine itself, which Carson introduces with "this is what I do every day". In order:
- He wakes and meditates, usually for about 30 minutes, sometimes 45.
- He gets up and stretches.
- He squeezes half a lemon into a cup, saving the rest in a bag for another day.
- He adds hot water from the kettle, "not too hot but hot enough".
- He adds a little organic, non-GMO aloe juice.
- He adds four squirts of the monoatomic gold, which he estimates at about a tablespoon.
- He adds about a tablespoon of colloidal silver and lets it steep.
He drinks it on an empty stomach, before eating anything, and says he takes the gold in the mornings only. Breakfast is a few berries and a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. These are the amounts Carson describes for himself on camera; they are not a dosing recommendation, and anyone using either product should follow the label.
What the Anunnaki version leaves out (in the second half)
Carson is careful to separate his own recipe from the one he attributes to the Anunnaki. The lemon and aloe are his additions. In his reading of the ancient account, "they never mentioned aloe they never mentioned lemon"; what they mentioned was the two core ingredients mixed together into what was called the elixir of life. He adds that "the heroes of old would drink the elixir of life", using a phrase best known from Genesis 6.
A possible third ingredient (in the second half)
Carson adds that he believes there was another green leaf in the original elixir. He is openly unsure what it was and floats hemp as a possibility. He offers no source for this and presents it as speculation, so it is best read that way.
The products then and now (toward the end)
The bottles in the stream carry older branding, and the coupon code Carson reads out near the end belongs to that period; it is history, not a current offer. Today the same two products are sold as Colloidal Silver 15 PPM (8 oz at $37.99, 16 oz at $51.95) and Starfire Gold ORMUS (8 oz at $73.95). The Gold + Silver Duo is $84.95 and includes a free month of 4BK TV. Subscribe & Save takes 15% off the first order and 10% off each order after that.
Key takeaways
- Carson calls his morning drink the Anunnaki elixir of life and says it is based on a Sumerian tablet that credits Ninhursag with preparing an elixir.
- In his account the original elixir paired colloidal silver with gold, and he attributes the introduction of colloidal silver to Thoth.
- His own version adds half a lemon, warm water and a little aloe juice, ingredients he says the ancient account never mentions.
- The routine starts with 30 to 45 minutes of meditation and some stretching, and the drink is taken on an empty stomach before a light breakfast.
- The amounts he uses are his personal habit, not a recommendation; the product label is the guide.
- The products in the video carried older branding and an old coupon code; today they are Colloidal Silver 15 PPM and Starfire Gold ORMUS.
Billy Carson's reading
Carson treats the Anunnaki of the Sumerian texts as real beings with real medical knowledge, and in this stream he says that knowledge let them keep themselves healthy and that Thoth brought part of it to humans. Within that frame, the "elixir of life" is not a metaphor but a practical preparation, and colloidal silver and gold are the ingredients that survived into the modern world. His routine is, in his words, his attempt to reproduce the core of that preparation with a few additions of his own.
His picture of Ninhursag as chief healer draws on her place in the Sumerian stories as a mother goddess who shapes and restores bodies; the background on her, Dilmun and the creation of humans is set out in Ninhursag explained. The idea of a divine food and water that grant life is one of the most persistent images in Mesopotamian myth, and the clearest example, Adapa's refusal of the bread and water offered by Anu, is covered in the Adapa myth explained. His Thoth material comes from the tradition he presents in his book, the Compendium of the Emerald Tablets.

What mainstream scholarship says
No known cuneiform text mentions colloidal silver, and Assyriologists do not identify any Sumerian tablet describing an Anunnaki elixir made from silver and gold. The "food of life" and "water of life" do appear in the literature: in the Akkadian myth of Adapa, known from fragments found at Amarna and in the library of Ashurbanipal, and in the Sumerian Descent of Inanna, where Enki sends two small beings to sprinkle the food and water of life on the dead goddess so she can return. Neither text describes what those substances were made of. Ninhursag is understood as a mother and birth goddess; in the myth Enki and Ninhursag she does restore an ailing Enki, but the goddess most associated with medicine in Mesopotamia is Gula.
Colloidal silver as a preparation is modern, dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, even though silver vessels were valued much earlier. The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that colloidal silver taken by mouth can cause argyria, a permanent blue-grey discoloration of the skin, which is one more reason to follow the product label. ORMUS, or "ORMEs", is a term introduced by the Arizona farmer David Hudson, who began describing the material in the late 1970s and filed patents in the following decade; chemists do not recognize a stable "monoatomic" form of gold as he described it. The idea that Egyptians drank a white gold powder was popularized by the writer Laurence Gardner, while Egyptologists generally read the word he relied on, mfkzt, as turquoise or a similar mineral. The Thoth "the Atlantean" figure comes from the Emerald Tablets of Thoth-the-Atlantean, published by Maurice Doreal in the 1930s, rather than from ancient Egyptian texts, which present Thoth as the god of writing and wisdom.

The story of ORMUS, from David Hudson's claims to the current debate, is covered in what is ORMUS. Both sit within the ORMUS and colloidal silver topic hub. The current products are listed on the supplements page, and the two bottles from this video are sold together as the Gold + Silver Duo, which includes a free month of 4BK TV.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Anunnaki elixir of life?
It is Billy Carson's name for a drink he says is described on a Sumerian tablet and was prepared by the goddess Ninhursag. In his account it combined colloidal silver and gold. Mainstream scholars know the Sumerian "food and water of life" from myths such as Adapa and the Descent of Inanna, but no text describes them as silver or gold.
What does Billy Carson drink every morning?
After about 30 minutes of meditation and some stretching, he squeezes half a lemon into a cup, adds warm water, a little organic aloe juice, about a tablespoon of monoatomic gold and about a tablespoon of colloidal silver. He drinks it on an empty stomach and follows it with a few berries and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. These are his personal amounts, not a recommendation.
Do Sumerian texts mention colloidal silver?
No known cuneiform text does. Colloidal silver is a preparation from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the link to a Sumerian elixir is Carson's interpretation rather than something stated in the tablets.
Where can you buy the colloidal silver and Starfire Gold Billy Carson uses?
Both are sold on 4biddenknowledge.ai as Colloidal Silver 15 PPM (from $37.99) and Starfire Gold ORMUS ($73.95), or together as the Gold + Silver Duo ($84.95) with a free month of 4BK TV. Subscribe & Save takes 15% off the first order and 10% after.
Sources mentioned
In the video Carson refers to an unnamed Sumerian tablet about the Anunnaki elixir, to the goddess Ninhursag, to Thoth and the Emerald Tablets tradition, to his own book the Compendium of the Emerald Tablets, to Egyptian temples, pyramids and altars, and to the "heroes of old" of Genesis 6. Standard references on the ancient material include Stephanie Dalley's Myths from Mesopotamia, which translates the Adapa myth; the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature for Inanna's Descent and Enki and Ninhursag; and Jeremy Black and Anthony Green's Gods, Demons and Symbols of Ancient Mesopotamia. The modern Thoth material traces to Maurice Doreal's The Emerald Tablets of Thoth-the-Atlantean, and the ORMUS idea to David Hudson's lectures and patents.
