Hi Craig, This is very helpful! I just bought a bottle of vodka the other day for making tinctures, so will try this. I take Boron regularly and put Borax in my laundry, so I may tinker with a mix of vodka, borax, and CS and see what happens.
I miss Obie. Wonder where he's at. Thanks for keeping such good archives. Really appreciate all the support in this suffering.
