>Some list members use CS for everything they make at home: soups, pancakes, blended beverages, etc., but I ask myself: Would not in that case CS react with the hot metals and foods in pans and utensils? >I learned at the beginning that salt should NEVER be used as a starter, since it would produce silver chloride, which is toxic, and logically I never used it since then. But, what about silver chloride produced when CS contacts hydrochloric acid in the stomach? And silver citrate? And silver ascorbate? etc., etc.?< Carlos, I must take exception to the many myths, fables and paranoia that floats around about CS. We disagree with using salt to make CS because it MAY make silver-chloide, which MAY be dangerous, IF one ingests enough of it. Yet many, many people have used salt regularly to make and haven't suffered from it. It's just that it's not necessary to use salt. You wonder about the reaction of silver with other things. Do you worry about calcium or iron or selenium or any other minerals? Silver is just a mineral, not a drug or toxic chemical. The CS we drink is mineral water, except it has only one mineral in it (if made with distilled water). Do you worry about how the minerals in Perrier water (or any other Spring mineral water) reacts with your stomach acid? No, one of the reasons to drink mineral water is to get the minerals from it. Your body knows how to utilize silver as it needs it. Considering that folks used to mechanically grind up silver into powder and stir it into water or wine and drink it (with good benefit) indicates to me that it doesn't much matter what form the silver is in (except for a toxic form like silver-nitrate) when it enters your body, your body will utilize it anyway. 100 yeara ago, the presence of silver in our foods and water were much higher than today, just like all the other minerals. What we do with CS is to try to duplicate that level ourselves, for health and for therapeutic purposes. Terry Chamberlin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
