Hey guys,
Thanks for your responses, I'm gonna try to back down on the apple a bit and add some more cucumber, So thank you Kcirla for the yeast/juice ideas.
Thanks Celestial, I'm going to try that idea for the alcohol in the tinctures I hadn't heard it before...you sure the heat doesn't destroy any of the healing properties of the herbs in the process? Also thank you for the last line of the post you did, when I'm down and wondering why I am putting myself through this mess and I must be crazy, that kinda stuff really helps to get me through, so thank you!
