Thanks for your input, I do appreciate it. Really though, properly representing my product is more important to me than what a buyer 'may think'. If somebody can't feel the energy resonance encoded into the site and the products we provide, well, maybe they don't need the product. I think your impression of our intentions may be a bit skewed. This is not about maximizing profits, customers, or marketability. It is about providing an impeccable service that is at least equal but generally far surpassing what most others offer.

My life's perspective is based on frequencies, harmonious and otherwise. If somebody logs onto to the site and feels internal resonance with what we are representing, they will try the product. If they try the product, they will know, first hand. So then the numbers become hardly relevant, and internally I know that I am not a liar.

As far as I am interested, the other vendors who sell "200X": if their caapi yields more than 5gm alkaloids per KG, they are liars. I am not judging them, nor do I have anything against them. I can only be responsible for myself and my own actions. To me, truth is sacred and my words are impeccable. The ability to manifest ones intended reality is completely based on the level of honesty the being has achieved, internally with ones own thoughts, and externally- all the thoughtforms one projects to the world. This philosophy, my entire existence is based upon, and there is no chance of it changing now because other vendors have created a standard of misrepresenting their products. If I need to re-define the current parameters for marketing caapi extract in order to be truthful to myself and others, then so be it.

And just to make a point of the matter, I am going to sell it for as little as possible. I am here to take care of the people, not to bolster some psuedo-market. To me it is all medicine and healing and energy exchange. Nothing more, nothing less.

I have purchased some 'dedicated' (food grade) equipment, large vacuum filtration apparatus, large soxhlet apparatus, several flasks. I am ready to go, and this ain't no joke friends.  You'll see...

Ah, thanks for this. I think you just saved me a bunch of time. A friend in Brazil had great success using Chloroform for above mentioned purpose, and this worked fine for him. But after reading your input I am guessing chloroform is probably one of very few that would work... I don't have any.  As I am very hesitant to waste medicine, I was going to try other ways of recovery... Knowing chloroform worked and guessing it may have been the ammonia I added which prevented the heptane from working, I had intended to boil the ammonia out of the aqueous phase and try to re-extract it. But this text confirms what I had hoped was not true.... Difficult solubility of betacarbolines in most non polar solvents... Oh Well... I have already added to much NaCL and carbonate and ammonia ha ha to the aqueous phase to formulate any ideas regarding salvage... I guess that one goes down the drain, but a valuable lesson has been learned!

thanks for the help everybody... I hope nobody has the wrong impression from my 'argumentative' nature.... I suppose this is one way for me to learn from others.

Much Love & Light & Peace to All... Happy Yule.
