    It’s so difficult to know how things are processed anymore. Even our food has become questionable, depending on where one gets it. I’ve got nothing against Wendy, I think she’s trying to do right by people. I just would like to have something closer to actual food as my source, even if it’s best absorbed by having another food with it when consumed. I’ve gathered that the silicon dioxide that is in so many other supplements really isn’t absorbed that much, even if as a tincture/ionic form. I purchased a pound of horsetail herb from Frontier Co-op and I’m hoping in moderate amounts it could be helpful. I’ve heard it can deplete B1 if taken in excess, but my guess is that because it can act as a diuretic.
