I remember back in the 60's an acquainted of mine sold kitchen faucet screens he bought them at the local hardware store for a buck per dozen. He then resold them via "High Times" magazine of the 60's, as "pipe screens" for like a buck apiece.
Many people today still pay $40 for one ounce of Colloidal Silver in a fancy bottle from a reputable store. I guess they do not feel comfortable buying something from someone's garage or basement - unless it was priced right - so to speak. It is still easier to pick up a bag of oranges off three grocery shelf then to pick oranges from the tree in one's back yard. weird eh, Ed Kasper LAc., Santa Cruz, CA (where people spend $2.00 for one avocado) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2003 10:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CS>Cataracts Hi Marv, It's my understanding that flaxseed oil and linseed oil are the same thing. You can spend the long buck and buy flaxseed oil at the health food store or you can buy the same exact thing at the hardware store for a hell of a lot less. DMSO is like that. Health food store vs. feed store = big markup. It's all marketing. I'm sure this won't make me very popular with some folks on the list but, Oh well. The next time you are at the grocery store, look at Tilex. It is watered down bleach (sodium hypochloride). At the hardware store, look at JASCO driveway cleaners. It's watered down swimming pool acid (sodium hydroxide). I think there are only about a dozzen or so chemicals that the public are allowed to buy and they are sold under hundreds if not thousands of different trade names. There are probably issues about purity, but consider the source. Most of the stuff out there comes from the same vat. It has water and die added to it and a new smaller container and a very expensive lable. Best wishes, Andy From: Marv Hacker Hi, Brickey, I gather that you actually used linseed oil. I do not know much about these oils. Are you saying that: + flaxseed oil would be preferred, + either oil would work fine, + or that the two oils are actually the same.
