Life is too complicated. Agreed! Previously mentioned friends also make "tinctures" of organic herbs and vegetables. A "supertonic" tincture combines cayenne, garlic, horseradish, and echinacea in a base of organic cider vinegar. Good stuff. Really opens the eyes...and the sinuses. They are also Dr. Richard Schulze enthusiasts, who is worth investigating. See: http://www.800herbdoc.com/home_1024x768.asp and note the huge disclaimer he posts, advising people to consult allopathic (regular) medical doctors in case of illness. While I can't vouch for any of these things as remedies, the "tonics" definitely seem to work. A.A. I would think that an oil base in addition to the acid (vinegar) might make whatever might be in these, uh, ingredients, more effectively absorbed. And maybe not. Personally, I'd just as soon have real food, with pepper and horseradish on it to make it taste better. I generally stay away from advice from people who sell stuff.
