Solar, Thank you for posting the link to this: http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99feb/germs.htm It was this Atlantic Monthly article that gave the impetuous for me to start making my own CS. I had been buying CS for some years as a prophylactic for recurring severe sinus infections that would incapacitate me for days at a time. If you have any more links, especially about bacterial and viral "loading" please post them.
