Thanks Scotty.  Very nice website.  I love tinctures.  I've made a few and plan 
on doing a lot
more.  I'm waiting to get hold of some organic wine or rum or vodka.  I know 
they say use the
cheapest vodka you can find, but I'm not sure of the quality.

The wine, if it's not organic, (I just read) you are getting pesticides from 
what they spray on
the grapes.  

I buy my herbs from a wholesale place and so far there has never been a problem 
with any of
them.  I try to make sure the source they are getting them from is the same 
source that my
research has shown where they should be coming from.

Someday, a professional tincture press, I hope, will be sitting in my kitchen.  

I have so much to learn about the Colloidal Silver.  I'd like to know if the 
homemade brew we are making is sufficient to "cure" more serious health 
problems as the purchased product.

I used that TDS tester to make sure the Distilled water is good and my water 
always test at 000
which I understand is what it is suppose to be.

Then I tested the brew I am making with the same TDS tester and it's 
registering at 007.

How does one know if the homemade brew is sufficient to cure as well as the 
professionally
made product?

It seems to me when I purchased the Colloidal Silver I seemed to overcome my 
problems.

Now it just seems like I am keeping myself out of a health crisis but not 
overcoming it with the
homemade brew.  

Drinking it a cup or two absolutely helped my husband and me avoid this latest 
virus that was going
around, with just a few days of sinus issues so I know it must have some power.

I just don't know if it's strong enough to really attack something more serious.

Thanks,
Carol
