Nerd- I won't use agave. It is pure fructose and is metabolized solely in the liver.

As a diabetic, I stocked up on a lot of Splenda/sucralose. There goes my "sugar" storage!!!

GP- That's the kind of pseudo-science I can believe in!!! "Specially since it means I won't have to at the end of the 'feast'!!!

Sounds like your son is s fan of "A Christmas Story"! Chinese Turkey................................wait for it.

The 3% over the counter stuff in the brown bottle is what he was talking about. If you freeze the bottle, the water freezes but the H2O2 doesn't. You then upend the bottle into a container and allow the H.P. to drip out of the bottle. THEN, you use it/dilute it according to the instructions for oxygen therapy--which you will have to find somewhere. I went to my local health food store and got a copy of the instructions they hand out with the purchase of their food grade H2O2. They sold the food grade stuff for $25/qt.....................way more than I want to spend cause I'm not sure if it is something I really want to do, etc. "Distilling" your own from the smaller bottles may not make ultimate sense cost wise, but I only want a little bit...............for now. It is also an emergency way to make some if you need it NOW and your supply is depleted. He also pointed out that if you are going to use it internally, to MAKE SURE the bottle you're distilling it from does NOT CONTAIN any fillers, additives, or stabilizers. OTOH, if you're not sure you want to ingest it from this method, you can still "make" the stronger solution for use as an external medicinal application. A good friend of mine told me that he applied the 35% solution to a wart and it just "melted" away (like the wicked witch). Who know, maybe it will even get rid of those ugly skin tags!!!

I was watching a vid on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S4JMcb6-n8) where the host was talking about making food grade hydrogen peroxide from the OTC bottles that you find in most stores. Basically, he said that if you freeze the OTC bottles of H2O2 the water in the bottles will freeze but NOT the peroxide. You then upend the bottle over a glass container and what drips out is 35% H2O2 which you can then use (diluted) for internal oxygen therapy, etc. He also said to make sure that the bottle of HP that you are "distilling" doesn't have any fillers or stabilizers in it if you are going to be making this for consumption. The $64K question is..................................is this guy kooky or correct??? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Do you live in a cold climate and raise chickens? This may be a "solution" for you to keep them free-ranging during the winter months. But.......................where are their boots???

Very funny Jeepers. Very funny. Actually, it WAS very funny!

I know I'm not adding any useful information here, but the post reminds me of a time when I didn't know the answer either. Here's the story: You must realize this was in the days before GOOGLE!!! Back in 1981 I was pregnant with my first child and I got an "urge" to bake some bread (I was a midnight mom even back then!) around 10 pm. I don't remember if my dh was asleep or working the graveyard shift. Anyway, I started working on a recipe for French Bread. I believe it had to rest and then rise a couple of times--about an hour each time. Well, I finally ran out of "energy" around 2 or 3 a.m., just at the point where it was ready to be baked, but the wind was out of my sails by then. I don't think the recipe book said anything about when or how to freeze the dough. There was NO WAY I was going to risk losing that loaf of bread............not after all the work I'd put into it by that point..............so I wracked my brain trying to figure out how to get the answer to my question. I was trying to think of who could possibly be up/working that late at night. My husband was working as an operator for AT&T at that time, and he had told me stories of people calling up "Information" for the stupidest reasons..................like they though 4-1-1 was the resource desk at the local library! So...............I immediately crossed that option off of my list. (Not that I hadn't thought about it.) My next flash of inspiration was................................................. ...................an answering service! My Ob/Gyn's answering service! They were guaranteed to be up!!! So, I called my Dr.'s office number, and of course, got the "operator." I launched into my story about baking bread, letting it rise, etc, and then asked (the operator, so I thought) whether it was possible to freeze the dough at this point, or should I go ahead and bake it (I was afraid of falling asleep and burning it)? Next thing I know, I hear this MALE voice telling me it was okay to refrigerate the dough and bake it later! The whole time I was "explaining" my dilemma, the operator wasn't even listening...she was calling the doctor at home and putting me through to him. Talk about embarrassing. The only thing I could do at that point was to say "Thank You" and take a loaf of bread to him at my next appointment. He liked it.

The Geneva Bible is on sale again THIS Weekend (Oct 11-13)--50% off. http://pu.patriotupdate.com/ga/webviews/2-7096559-24-4198-8052-88824f9fcd

I don't know why I didn't think of doing this sooner. Back by Popular Demand - Only 48 Hours Left! 50% OFF the Bible that Built America Imagine if the President of the United States outlawed your version of the Bible because he considered it to be a threat to his rule. Imagine that he authorized a new Government "approved" version for you to read instead. That's exactly what happened in the tumultuous year of 1611. King James despised the revolutionary and "seditious" Geneva Bible. He thought the Geneva Bible's study notes on key political texts threatened his authority, so he outlawed it and ordered a new translation of the Bible - the King James (Authorized Version). While the King James Version is an excellent translation, it was edited and authorized by the Government. The Geneva Bible was not. It was truly a Bible by the people and for the people. The Geneva Bible is unique among all other Bibles. It was the first Bible to use chapters and numbered verses and became the most popular version of its time because of the extensive study notes. These notes were included to explain and interpret the Scriptures for the common people and laid the foundation for a Republican form of government. For nearly half a century these notes helped the people of England, Scotland, and Ireland understand the Bible and true God-ordained liberty. When the Pilgrims arrived in America in 1620, they brought the 1599 Geneva Bible. You can see why this remarkable version with its profound study notes played a key role in the formation of the American Republic. Today, the 1599 Geneva Bible has been all but forgotten. Thankfully, we've brought it back into print in a beautiful, easy-to-read format with updated English spelling and punctuation. This remarkable Bible is available in leather or hardback binding. For the next 72 48 hours, you can get a copy of this historic Bible in a exquisite leather binding for only $29.95... That's 50% off the retail price!
