I fully agree with the idea you only want to use the purest silver you can get to make your own CS. As far as nickel poisoning, you'd only get that if the jewelry or sterling silver had nickel content.
I've never given much thought to the proposition that jewelry might contain some nickel. Most of my experience has been with silver-plated musical instruments, which are usually brass, except for flutes which are usually nickel. Nobody in their right mind would ever use a silver plated anything to make colloidal silver, and hopefully never use sterling either. The problem is that the results are too unpredictable... or perhaps predictable as I think they'd be singing the blues in short order.

Sure there is endless documentation, just like there are endless websites claiming that CS is a miracle cure but, quite rightly, they are not worth a damn in medical eyes. They are not evidence. They are not based on clinical trials. They are not to be trusted, and ultimately thats why they are not accepted by the FDA. I wish there was 'proof' but there isn't. Forget about 'thousands of years of use', about 'blue bloods', about 'silver dollars in milk cans' and all that BS. The ONLY credible argument for taking CS is that the lab tests give it some scientific support, and thousands of anecdotes SUGGEST it might be effective. We have NOTHING more concrete than that.... yet. David > > I was just worried that some people might get the wrong idea about > your comments.
