I've never had that happen to supertonic before, but personally, would only be concerned about mold growing in it. It depends on your own comfort level, though. If I'm not convinced something is safe to consume, I compost it.

I made this about a year ago, and just opened a bottle. It fizzed up and out of the bottle like shaken soda pop, then continued to fizz slowly for several minutes. Fermentation? Do you think it's safe to use. Been making it for years and never had this happen.

Just a tiny pinch. I've never used it be he's suffered from sinus infections for years, and says this snuff stuff does a better job of opening the sinuses and clearing out the infection than anything he's used. For best results you have to do it before your nose gets clogged and runny, so first twinge of a problem is the time to start using it.<br /><br />We've been members of Heal Marketplace for years and I visited their store and met them when they used to be located in Hendersonville, NC. Most of their forumlae were originally developed by John Christopher or Richard Schultz, but they're not resellers, they make them there under their own label. They sell products for system cleansing (they're big on that), superfood, tinctures (or the dry herb mixes to make your own tinctures), salves, poultices, essential oils, etc. for natural healing methods. Based on personal experience, quality is excellent, and I think the prices are reasonable. Call the number on the website and talk to Dara if you have any questions.

What he really likes for that, though, is a nasal snuff that we get from Heal Marketplace, <a href="https://store.healmarketplace.com/?q=hats/nasal-snuff" rel="nofollow">https://store.healmarketplace.com/?q=hats/nasal-snuff</a>. He says that knocks it out faster than anything.

Master Tonic is another of them. <br /><br />Sam, you can certainly use whatever peppers you want! Hotter ones are better circulation boosters. The other option is to cut the amount of peppers. My favorite hot pepper is Serrano. Not quite as hot with a good flavor.<br /><br />Kristina, it probably is! Just similar ingredients.

If more folks believed in the natural, common sense way of warding off germs and strengthening their immune system, their whole bodies would be in better shape. Better in SO many ways than taking antibiotics in pill form from a pharmacy! (Let me count the ways, right?) The only ingredient I would object to (strictly personal) is the ginger root. Can't tolerate the stuff which has always concerned me as ginger is another natural ingredient that is so, so good for us. In your final mixture, do you taste the ginger at all? <br /><br />Your mixture does sound a lot like the Fire Cider sold at our local organic co-op except MUCH more economical! And I can't help but believe better for us.
