Fran, Consider yourself very fortunate that your whole family is willing to 
take CS.  And your family is fortuanate that you are making it for them.  There 
are so many variables for how much CS to take, but I find that taking a tbs or 
2 twice a day keeps me free from anything & everything, including outbreak of 
boils & sties that used to come from 4 absessed  root canals.  My dentist says 
the abesseses are gone, after taking CS for 1 1/2 years, but I find that a 
little hard to believe.
I would put a couple of ts. in your dog's water bowl, and you will probably 
find that he will not get the normal illnesses that plague many dogs, including 
gum disease, urinary tract infections, vaccination reactions, arthritis and 
even cancer.
Don't be surprised if this winter is the first time your family has little or 
no bouts of colds, flues, viruses.  If anyone has the start of symptoms get 
them to at least double the normal amount of CS for several days.  Also by 
holding it in your mouth for a minute or two you will be free of dental plaque. 
 You will learn so much on the list and will soon find out that being able to 
make your own CS will be worth its weight in health and doctor's bills.

Nancy...

  Hi, 
  I found your letter so interesting about using this product for general 
health and am really interested in how you would apply this to a pet.  We have 
a small dog about 10 pounds, can you give me any advise.  I just make my first 
batch of cs and am so excited.  I took to teaspoons and don't know but plan to 
take that amount every day.  What do you suggest to people that you help/   <My 
whole family is interested in taking this.  If you have a minute could you 
write and tell me more.  Thanks so much, Fran
