I tried tapering off the h, did not use any last night and today my aches and pains are back in force. I was going to go two days without it to see if it made any difference and I think I will cut that short and go back on it tonight. I use a slightly different method now to make the gas. I put a glass upside down in a solution of water and lye and a ball of crumpled aluminum foil in the glass.
I fill the glass to the top with solution, then put a plastic disc over the top, I use the lid that came with a cup of yogurt. Then I use a string that is tied in the middle with another string forming a Y shape. I put this over the top of the glass with the plastic on it. Then I pull down on the strings so I am holding the lid on by gripping the bottom of the glass and holding the strings tight. Then put it upside down in the open container with solution. I have a string glued to the lid and carefully pull it out. That way I don't have to touch the solution or if I do I rinse my hands right away. The last step is to put the al ball in the water and coax it under the glass using long tweezers. Thats it, I can see how much h gas is in it by how much of the water is pushed out. The glass being full to start, as the gas rises it collects at the top which is the bottom of the upside down glass
I can get a 24 oz glass pretty full in about an hour. I keep it upside down and put a disc over the bottom opening with a hole in it big enough to put a straw through and take sips along with air and hold it. Repeat until done. Dont use straight lye if you try this, I just put a couple grams of solid material in the water which is about a quart and a half. I use koh but the kind you get in the store is fine. Dry lye or liquid will work. The ball of aluminum doesn't even get used up and lasts many times. Don't make it too big, about 2" x 2" x 1" crumpled or folded is plenty.
