Hi Paula,

The first time, I bought the wire from a website of an acupuncturist in the 
Netherlands.
Because I had that reaction, I was uncertain about the silver wire, although he 
says he
sells it alot with no problems and that he gets it from a trustworthy source.

Therefor, I bought the wire that I used the last time from a jeweler who makes 
his own
jewelry. He says it is 99,9% silver as he buys it like that in the form of 
grains that he
later on mixes with other metals to make the jewelry. Again, I do not know this 
person
and if he is telling the truth, altough I urged him that the purity is more my 
concern, not
merely its worth/value in money as I am using it for medical intake.

In both cases, it is the problem that there is no way of checking it and it is 
a matter of
trust, just like you trust 
https://secure2.websitecomplete.com/acbel/shop/showProd.asp?prod=13
to be selling 99,9% silver. 

I am willing to give CS a try, but the problem is that I have been feeling ill 
from it for the
second time while I was not sick at all before (except from a chronic nose-cold 
that I am
used to and at the moment isn't bothering me).

I'm afraid that waiting for 2 weeks now to feel better again from the CS 
reaction and trying
it again will result in the same reaction and I may be causing some other 
illness that cannot
be cured or so...

Kind regards,
Filip

  Filip,
    I doubt very much if a jeweler is using .999 pure silver wire for 
jewelry...it's too soft. A friend of mine who is a jewelry maker uses sterling 
silver wire. Which is what I bet you are trying to make CS with. This is 
probably at least part of your problem, as sterling silver contains some copper 
and, probably nickel. I don't know what you are making, but please try some 
wire from

    Sorry if my post()s is/are elaborate, but I really want to find a solution 
to my
    problem and I try to give as much as context as possible.

    Two weeks later, I wanted to give "making CS by myself" another try. This
    time I used 2 silver electrodes that I ordered from a jeweler that made it
    from 99,9% silver grains that he uses for making jewelery. I expressed my
    reason for needing to be sure it is 99,9% pure.
