Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hi , Let's say you put 1000mg of P in 2 different creams, each with 2 ounces of cream. You are right, there could be some variation in density of the cream etc. I'm not sure it matters. People measure 1/4 tsp's a little differently. Bodies absorb and metabolize differently. The 2% would be 'ball park'. But with baseline and follow-up testing you fine tune. Testing before and after remains crucial. If you have the test data you can recognize and adjust for any problem or variation. W/o proper test data you're a bit like Columbus: Inspired idea. I mean he was right. You can go East by sailing West. But without a map and a sense of the real scale, you will have some amazing and often very unpleasent experiences. I often think of Columbus a lot when I think WP!
