You should not be using teaspoon fulls, that's way too much LDN. You need a

dropper to measure out 3.0mg or 4.5mg into a teaspoon or tablespoon.

Acquire some ml measuring equipment from the baby section of a Drug Store and a

small bottle with a screw-on cap...make sure bottle is amber or dark amber to

protect solution from light. At bedtime shake the bottle well if it is mixed in

distilled water, take a desired dose (no more than 4.5ml), chase it down with

some water and store the small bottle in the refrigerator. LDN prepared in

distilled water only MUST MUST be kept in the refrigerator for freshness.

Bren, a while ago you recommended a bottle for keeping LDN in the fridge --

I forget the brand though. Pls repeat...

I'm so used to mg. I chaged the 3.0mg and 4.5mg to 3.0ml & 4.5ml.

My mistake. I just re-read the original post. I respect the requests

of those on this list that read by way of digest to cut everthing

previous in a thread before responding, but it leads to confusion for

those of us used to following the norm of e-mail threads.
