Just a note:

If you folks are fretting over smaller teaspoon volumes etc, are more inclined to dose daily vs 2-3x a week, then I'd suggest going to liquid solutions.

To make them, take that dry dosing amoutn for 2=4 weeks, add it to a 1/2 liter of water, then divide by 15 or 30 days to get the daily dose, or 6-12 X for the 3x a week routine.

500mls in 1/2 liter divided by the days (say 30) = 16.6 mls per day.
You can vary the solution strenth however you wish.

Really up to you.
Also, you might look at the older APD post for other methods of dosing etc.

Regards,
Tom Barr
