  Bob,

  I am so glad you posted. In my introduction to cs, I was told to add
  a teaspoon of lake salt to the cs.

  This did not work at all, and I could not figure out how anyone else
  got it to work. So I had to learn out by trial and error how  to get
  something that looked useful. Using plain distilled water  seemed to
  do the trick, but I had to buy a bottle of every brand I  could find
  to locate  the best one. This also taught me to  always  monitor the
  current with a VOM to spot problems like getting a bottle  of spring
  water by mistake.

  The early  misinformation  has warped my  understanding  of  cs ever
  since. Your post answered a lot of nagging questions.

  It also  promted  me  to  take   a  closer  look  at  Mark Metcalf's
  "BANISHING DISEASE WITH THREE 9-VOLT BATTERIES - PART 1"

  http://business.fortunecity.com/ellrd/490/banish1.html

  He states

    "Saline solution  can be made by mixing approximately  four ounces
    of distilled water with half a teaspoon of sea salt in  a separate
    container. Do not use common table salt as table salt has chemical
    additives. After  stirring  the salt solution for  a  minute, pour
    some of the water into an eye dropper bottle."

    "Now you're  ready to make Colloidal Silver. Pour eight  ounces of
    distilled water into your glass. Add two or three drops  of saline
    solution to water and stir with a  plastic/non-conductive utensil.
    If you  use  too much salt, you'll be  making  silver  chloride as
    well. Silver  chloride is by definition the precipitation  of salt
    crystals within  the  solution  which fall to  the  bottom  of the
    glass. While  not  recommended,  silver  chloride  is  an inactive
    chemical and cannot harm you."

  So the trick was to add salt to a separate solution, and take  a few
  drops to  the cs as a starter. That explains the  error.  The person
  forgot to mention that step.

  Thank you  for  the   epiphany.   Your  explanation  undid  years of
  confusion!

  Regards,

  Mike Monett
