What color is your CS? My unfiltered CS, in a wide container, looks yellow, like camomile tea (which looks like urine). My CS, after being run through a cheap coffee filter, and put into a normal glass cup, looks yellow-orangish. I bit the bullet, and tried a couple of tablespoons of the stuff this morning. I'm still here. It had a taste to it, but nowhere as strong a taste as the CS that I got from an aquaintance that makes CS using a SOTA generator. My CS also (and this may be psychosomatic) gave me a weird feeling on the parts of my mouth where I swished it, and on the inside, whereas the other guy's CS never did that (and I drank a cup of his CS, one sip at a time, swished around the inside of my mouth before swallowing). >My question to all is: Why does the silver stain the glass this coppery >colour and one can't remove or clean it off??

Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say "golden"? >Silver is light sensitive What happens to CS when it is exposed to light? I don't have brown glass bottles (non of the local drug stores use glass any more, they just have plastic), so mine is sitting on a shelf in my kitchen (with the door to the shelf shut) in clear glass containers. Does the CS just become less effective (because the particles of silver fall out of solution), or ??? >I spoke with Peter Lindemann this morning and he feels I am making it a bit >strong by going 30 minutes and he recommends 20 with the four nine volt >batteries. I started with 10 cups of distilled water in the coffee carafe. This was sitting on a hot plate. Timing it from the time that I put it on the hot plate (IE. water was not hot to start with), I have about 1 hours worth of 'cooking' Monday night (with a clear solution), and somewhere around 1-2 hours more last night (to get to the yellowish solution). This was using three fresh 9-volt batteries in series, producing around 28 VDC. >From: "M. G. Devour" <[email protected]> >Everything you describe is normal for this kind of process.
