can the CS effect be achieved by using

silverware made of silver

or having a silver coin in your pocket and touching it

does this work?

Good thought, but not really / not enough. Contact with perspiration in your hands might produce inconsequential amounts of silver salt. Anything rubbed off is so marginal as to be inconsequential, made even more so by the barrier represented by your outer layers of skin. Besides, today's "silverware" is hard alloy.

That said, people put .999 silver coins in the bottom of milk pails in the old days. My parents swear that it kept the milk fresh for "a while." A small number of ions were released into the milk, apparently.

I saw something on a Morgellon's Disease website about some guy who used tape to strap a silver coin over top of one of the skin lesions, causing a reddish material to surface and slough off like a scab. The site was pretty zany.

The CS effect is achieved by using CS.

CS requires PURE SILVER.

Silverware is not pure silver.

Jasper,

While I agree that it's best to use pure silver, I disagree with your statement...

Hi:

Not quite sure what you're getting at here.

If you use anything less than the purest silver to make CS you will end up with various salts in the brew which, even if they don't poison you, certainly aren't going to be good for you.

That's all I was saying.

It's also very important that the water you start with be extremely pure.

Otherwise, once again, you are going to end up with a potentially dangerous brew.
