Frankly, I'm not sure the CS was causing the problem. Urine and feces, for example, should have any silver bound to proteins or other compounds so that the silver may not be able to attack microorganisms. As a matter of fact, that seems like a good experiment to do. Culture some bacteria and note the "kill time" for your CS "as is", and then after ingesting CS, determine the "kill time" for your urine at various time periods after ingestion. Perhaps others who are reading my message would like to try this test as well. After all, you don't want to piss away a good opportunity to learn something. Right? Roger
