Hi Debbie.  I used to buy my CS, but it's ungodly expensive.  You can 
purchase it at most any health food store, but it'll cost you up to thirty 
dollars 
for 8 oz.  For the price of a gallon, you can buy the equipment to make your 
own, and forevermore your CS will cost you the price of a gallon of distilled 
water.  Can't beat it.  And you don't have to *trust yourself* making it -- 
it's 
extremely simple.  All of the units available have easy-to-read instructions, 
phone numbers for help if needed, plus you have the collective knowledge of 
the people on this list.  As a group, we haven't found that *more is better* in 
the matter of ppm's.  In fact, I'd be pretty suspect of any product advertised 
at 100 ppm's.  I would wonder what they did to it to enhance those ppm's -- 
what was added in.  A ppm-level of 10 to 12 is perfectly fine for most every 
application.  I've even heard that *less is better* -- and that 5 ppm's will do 
whatever you need it to.  But even up to 20 ppm's is safe and effective.  I 
know that this is all kind of scarey when you're first looking at it, but it 
isn't scarey at all -- it's simple and a health marvel.       MA
P.S.  I bought my unit at www.wishgranted.com -- it's the Colloid Master.  
What I like best about it is that it's automatic -- it shuts itself off, so I 
don't have to hang around waiting for my CS to finish brewing.
