Post by: enahs on June 14, 2007, 11:22:43 AM

Here is a home experiment you can do! Requires distillation, extraction, filtration, etc etc.

*note* For true scientific exploration a cat is also required. Maybe this will help Psi² become the crazy cat lady she desires to be!

I like that this suggested a bicarbonate wash.  I tried this once (no HCO3- wash) and the product did test positive under Felis-bioassay.  I'll use the wash the next time.
