Dear Silver Listers
I would like to know exactly what sort of danger anyone could possibly get into 
by 
making CS with ordinary water and using that? 

I have been making CS with 9vdc from a battery and with current control to 1mA 
for 
many years . I use whatever the drinking water is out of the tap. 3 to 5 
minutes per 
8oz glassful. It works. Cures upset tummies in minutes. Stops a cold in its 
tracks if 
taken soon enough. Stops BO for many hours. Soothes insect bites and thorn 
scratches. Disinfects wounds. Great for flushing mould and dirt from sinuses 
etc etc. 

I really would like to know the specific dangers that might be practically 
applicable.
