I can feel past rage rising inside of me as I read that. Oh how I hate that.

I don't really press hard at all though on my elos bottles. It's almost like a gravity drip with a tiny but constant amount of help. My tests for ca, alk and mg may be wrong but they are always consistent. Whatever my 'real' levels are...they are surely consistent which I think is half the battle.
