No, you do not want to add silver to Kefir, it would kill the bacteria and defeat the purpose. I always allow at least two hours between kefir and CS use for that reason. The recipe is simple: two heaping tablespoons of live kefir grains (don't use the kits, get live grains) in a quart mason jar of raw milk. Cover loosely and let sit at room temperature for about three days (maybe two if it is very warm, maybe more in the winter when cold). When ready, strain out the grains (put in a holding jar with the rest of them) and put the resulting kefir, which should be thick and creamy, in the fridge to be cooled and consumed.
Take care of the grains in a holding jar. Rinse them clean with filtered or distilled water every two or three days and give them clean milk to keep them happy. You will grow many more grains and will be able to give them to friends and family as well.

Makes a tremendous difference to digestion. And strengthens the immune system because 80% of the immune system is in the gut according to what I have been reading. Del Would you please give your recipe ?? Do you add silver ?? Thanks, Lois ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
