Guest guest Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks for posting that. I went back and dug up your long post that finally made it through the cyber-hoops! I meant to thank you for writing all that. I have been rubbing the Roach Prufe in my scalp as a test for a week and am happy to report that I haven’t gotten any of those big bites in my scalp at all since I started. Seems I always had one or two. But I have been having some terrible biting down inside of my left ear. I finally tried some on Q-tips a la Rita. Maybe it’s time for me to try mixing it in water like you do. Do you apply it right after a shower if you don’t mask? Or do you only apply it when the sun starts to set? By the way, I don’t know about all porous wood. Mike said it made sense because they went in and out of water. However, the wood chairs that are painted have never been a problem for me. Also, what is stromectol? I am SO happy for you that you are almost past this. And even in the rain and on a FM! I think we are close, too. Many thanks, P~ From: bird mites [mailto:bird mites ] On Behalf Of Holly Sent: Sunday, March 08, 2009 11:19 PM bird mites Subject: Observation I am currently wearing our RP mixture, and and quite comfortable having almost no symptoms. It is raining heavily, and almost a full moon. This is remarkable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I have been taking Iodoral since last summer, 50 mg, along with the supporting nutrients except the ATP co-factors and L-Tyrosine. I was taking a good multiple, so wasn’t so worried about the co-factors. But while I was feeling better, I wasn’t detoxing, wasn’t making more progress. I upped my Iodoral to 75 mg, and didn’t see any difference. I dropped back to 50 mg since I wasn’t seeing any difference. In the past month I got the ATP co-factors, and since I have started taking them, I am itchy! I think they were the key for me to start me detoxing. I thought maybe it was a change of scent in our laundry detergent, but I see that on the days I take Iodoral, I am itchy, but on the days I forget, I am not itchy. So this seems to be a key for me to get me moving. Now if I could only start losing weight instead of still putting it on!

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I am very itchy too at times, particularly hands and feet! I keep looking at the metagenics ultra clear liver cleanse, but it seems so expensive, and I already take so many of the vitamins in it. is it worth the $$ and why? gracia Donna Iler wrote: > > > I have been taking Iodoral since last summer, 50 mg, along with the > supporting nutrients except the ATP co-factors and L-Tyrosine.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Gracia, Hands and feet can be important detox points since they are " end points " so to speak. My chiro/nutritionist doc has her patients put clay on their hands and feet for 20 minutes to clear out the pathways, so detoxes in general go much smoother. She has a special type of clay, but she said it was fine for me to use Pascalite Clay which I had which was not expensive. I had ordered it online. I just mixed it with water and applied it to my hands and feet and it felt AMAZING!! Leave it on for 10-20 minutes and then wash it off. The whole body feels so much better after.
