Jason, Thanks for all this invaluable information. I did not know that Tara Ganix is an official distributor. If I were buying in the USA, I definitely would buy from them in order to support Dr. Higa's work.
I thought that SCD intended to carry official EM products -- and did at one time, I think -- but I guess the company has gone off in a new direction. I've found EM1 "extension" very easy to make, and found that if air is squeezed out of the PET bottle, it can be stored for years without going "off." I have no experience with any competing products, but can recommend Dr. Higa's mixture.
