I will call them the "acid" and the "alkaline" modes. I propose that these modes are important because the chemical makeup of the putrefied GW is different, depending on which mode occurs. This could be one of the reasons why some people succeed and others fail when performing the GW methods. If the "acid" ...

The distillation of this is tricky because of the initial fine foam that developes, but I overcame this by placing a filter in the neck of my distillation flask. I have dried the salts.

Maybe if one of us were having a problem with something, we could SKYPE you, and go over the problem together, and you could SEE what we are possibly doing wrong. In a lab situation, it might be just what we need to give us a little "boost" and some confidence in what we are trying to do. Just an idea.....and would like to hear your thoughts on this.

A standard that we could use to measure out dosages. I was thinking if you supposed your stone was on the first order you could transmute with two or three times the amount of metal it is supposed to handle and then having that metal assayed.

This tar placed in digestion and playing with temperature (above and below) gives a lot of withe salt in the ball on top (the middle is closed). By increasing the temperature we get the oil out of a yellow and red and there must be very careful pressure increases very quickly. Anything can break.

I finally finished the 2nd edition of "Covenant of Silence". Four more chapters and a little more information added to the other chapters, as well as typos corrected (there were a ton). The page count is 127, so it was like writing an entire second book the same size as the first one. Now I finally feel like I have a book, instead of just a little booklet.

A great bottle to substitute for the flask is a champagne bottle with a screw cap cork because it's designed to handle high pressure.

I've been to a couple of wine stores, and the vendors assure me that there are no champagne bottles with screw tops.

Also, you have a small bottle filled with it and you wear it as a necklace. From the above descriptions, it is obvious that the Alkahest emits a spectrum of subtle-astral energies or Odylic forces.
