Hi Wayne, In my calculation the operative word is "about!" <grin>
I used the approximations of 20 drops per cc, which works pretty well for water and thin glass pipettes, and assumed 28g per ounce. (A troy ounce is about 31g...) The correspondence between volume and weight measure is for water at standard temperature and pressure. Since CS is very nearly pure water, and I'm not worried about hair splitting accuracy, 1cc = 1ml = 1g is close enough. So, ballpark figure, yeah, they recommend about a tablespoon per day. Sure not going to get argyria on that dose! Be well, Mike D. > Evening Mike, > > >>At 08:32 AM 9/21/2006, you wrote: > > >Their dosing recommendation is very conservative.
