Yow! From everything I have so far read (I've only been making my own CS for 
about 8 months) what you were making is nothing I'd ever want to put in my 
body. It sounds very much like what the Montana senator was making and 
drinking, that turned him "blue".
I hope you are now using pure distilled water only to make your CS.

  We all use .999 troy ounce silver coins and silver rods Kathi bought from a 
jewelry store. Also 6V ac adapters to attach the rods to the postive and 
negative wires.
  Mineral water and as Kathi was instructed to do...back 5 years ago from a 
Canadian friend...add 5 drops of a sea salt solution to get it to cook.
  Left on for 20 minutes.....
