SINCE THE ORIGINAL PAIN RELIEF PRODUCT BECAME UNAVAILABLE, I HAVE OBTAINED THE "RECIPE" FOR EXTRACTING THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS OF THAT PRODUCT JUST AS IT WAS DONE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE PAIN RELIEVER.  OF COURSE, I CANNOT MANUFACTURE ANOTHER PRODUCT COMMERCIALLY.  HOWEVER, I CAN OBTAIN THE WORKING PART OF THE PRODUCT, and, I CAN SHARE THIS INFORMATION FREELY, SO LONG AS I DO NOT SELL IT.   I sold the orginal product for less that 1/2 the price recommended by my source, anyway.  I hardly made enough to support my website.  I figured out early-on that I was "not in the business for a profit", or at least any significient profit.   So, for the benefit of all my former customers, here is the "recipe".  I've made three batches of this "tincture" and IT WORKS!  It works BETTER than the product I sold, just because, as my source told me, "You're getting about 4 times the active ingredient in the "tincture" than was put into the product."

	LIFE IS NOT IN WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS... IT IS LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN!!   INGREDIENTS BANANA PEELS - I start with about 3 lbs of bananas RUBBING ALCOHOL - have 1.5 quarts on hand BAKING SODA - a 1 lb box   PREPARATION Ripen bananas in cool, dark place until peels are DARK BROWN to BLACK. (at least the color of the border around this table) Keep drying to a minimum - I use my veggie drawer in the refrigidator Once fully ripened, remove stem end, bloom end, and peels. Discard meat - unless you make 'Banana Bread' CHOP PEELS in blender/food processor - they do not have to be smooth.   COMBINE: 12 oz. Chopped Banana Peels 48 oz. Rubbing Alcohol (I used 90% isopropyl alcohol) 6 oz Baking Soda MIX WELL PLACE IN GLASS CONTAINER WITH LOOSE LID (I used a 1/2 gallon Mason Jar)   ALTERNATIVELY   Measure the CHOPPED banana peels in a graduated container   Add 4 TIMES that quantity of Rubbing Alcohol   Add approximately 1/3 of the 1 lb box of Baking Soda   MIX WELL PLACE IN GLASS CONTAINER WITH LOOSE LID (I used a 1/2 gallon Mason Jar) Now go to the next block in the left column to continue.   STIR or SHAKE WELL @ 15 - 30 Minute intervals for 12 - 16 hours STIR or SHAKE WELL @ 1 - 1.5 hour intervals for 36 hours (I didn't while sleeping, of course) MUST “work” for a total of 48 HOURS (longer doesn’t help)   REMOVE PULP FROM MIXTURE and DISCARD PULP (I used a coffee filter once, and a juice separator [for making jelly] once)  SQUEEZE THE LAST DROPS FROM THE PULP!
