Hi all, I've lurked for long enough, so today I went out and started rounding up the stuff I need to make myself some CS. Which leads to a couple of questions I have for the collective CS consciousness...
My first question is about the silver I purchased. I went to a gold/silver/jewelry shop and bought two silver one-dollar coins to use as electrodes. They are US mint, 1998 "Walking Liberty" 1 oz. coins and they say "Fine Silver" on the back. My understanding from reading previous posts is that these are .999 pure silver, but when I asked the guy at the shop (who had a heavy middle-eastern accent) I'm not sure he understood (or answered) my question. So just to make sure, are these ok to use as electrodes? My second question...does anybody have any experience using CS to clear up mouth ulcers? (a.k.a. cold sores, canker sores...) I'm always getting those things, and they're really painful. That's the real reason I finally got off my duff and decided to try brewing some CS, so I could hopefully cure them. Does CS work for these things? Any help is greatly appreciated. -Ted BTW, this is a great list and I've enjoyed reading and learning from you guys.
