This is not Brooks, but I have a comment. I have experimented with the Vita Mix using the dry container meant for shattering seeds and making powder such as flour for bread. The apparent encapsulation seemed at least 10 times better than the ultrasonic cleaner. I was reluctant to recommend this to folks since the Vita Mix sells for $800 normally. In looking for an inexpensive method I tried several hand blenders and found great results using a Wal-Mart $29 Oster hand blender with stainless steel parts. This actually produces better results than the Vita Mix. I can detect no separation even after more than a week. I use a 32 ounce wide mouth Mason jar with a 1/4 inch diameter oak dowel cut to just fit in the bottom of the jar. This spaces the blender higher and helps to circulate and mix the contents rather than just spinning in circles as you would see in a blender. I gag on the soy lecethin so Carol researched and found Sunflower Lecithin which tastes and smell lots better. www.austradeinc.com . If anyone has any questions please email me at jpmeiss...@yahoo.com I seldom read this list anymore and just happend to see this. Jim Meissner

I understand that you have mostly nixed the idea of using common kitchen blenders for this purpose but I wonder if the same opinion extends to very high speed blenders such as the Vita Mix? I recently purchased a nearly unused 30 year old Vita Mix 3600 for $10 in a thrift store. It would please me no end to be able to utilize it in this fashion and pass my ultrasonic cleaner on to our youngest daughter, with Lyme, at college. Thanks, DaddyBob
