Hi April --

I'd clean the bath and shower area VERY well, so that it doesn't spread to

anyone else.

Health & blessings,

Safe, powerful, *GREEN* and smart.

PLEASE don't take a homeopathic remedy based on one symptom or a

disease/illness name. That's not homeopathy and can be very dangerous.

Homeopathy is individualized and takes the person's ENTIRE symptom picture

into account when chosing a remedy. Thuja MIGHT fit one person's symptom

picture when they have athletes foot, but it will NOT be the remedy of

choice for everyone. 10 people with colds very well might take 10

different remedies. There is no Remedy A for Symptom B.

Sheri N. just posted her info on another upcoming class of hers (Intro to

Homeopathy). I HIGHLY recommend it. Homeopathy can be dangerous when used

incorrectly.

Hello, April!

In the Navy, an older friend of mine told me that all

of the men had the problem and would wash their feet

with one gallon of hot water and one quater teaspoon

of potassium permanganate. It is a super high

oxidizer. It will turn the water a magenta color,

your feet a brown color that will wash off, and it

will discolor your toenails to a tortoise shell color

and texture. I have used it with a very stubborn case

of athletes' feet for myself, and it worked

immediately where the expensive prescription treatment

did not. It acts by drying the skin and tissues on

the feet.

I also suggest drinking apple cider vinegar in a glass

of water daily until it all goes away to clear your

dear daughter's body of the stuff that is letting the

fungus grow on her pretty feet.

Coconut oil is an amazing antifungal. We use it all the time for that

purpose. I can put it on a yeasty diaper rash (or a yeasty rash on my own

body), and it only takes one application. Even better, it smells great.

(forgive me if this has already been mentioned. I'm WAY behind on my

lists.)

Also, I personally wouldn't use bleach on his socks. I'd use the hottest

water possible and and healthy dose of distilled white vinegar. Works

great on yeast in cloth diapers.

Would you agree, Kay, that treating a condition like athlete's foot with

anything that is going to *control* it will, in fact, be suppressive? I

think it would. To me, athlete's foot is a sign that the constitution needs

a boost - when the problem will go away on its own. Any attempts to treat

something that do not address the root cause are suppressive, imo.

Would agree with 's suggestion to reduce sugars and some probiotics

though. That can only do good to the whole constitution.

Second what you say below about homoeopathic remedies wholeheartedly.

This is one of the problems I'm seeing the homeopath for.

But, about the statement: " homeopathy can be dangerous when used

incorrectly " :, how so? -Angie

Homeopathic remedies may be diluted to where there is no evidence of the

original substance left, but that's precisely what makes homeopathy so

powerful. Homeopathy is energy medicine and works on the body as such.

Have you read a materia medica that tells the various symptoms associated

with specific remedies? A dissimilar remedy, or one in which the potency or

dosage is too strong can elicit any of those symptoms contained in the MM

for that particular remedy. Aggravations can be very serious, especially in

a person who's lifeforce is especially sensitive or weak. And a homeopath

won't know that until a remedy is given.

There are thousands of remedies and it takes a skilled homeopath to select

not only the proper remedy, but proper potency and dose. Proper case

management is crucial. Dry doses or a remedy repeated too soon can also

lead to uncomfortable or dangerous aggravations.

Homeopathy can also be suppressive if used incorrectly.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I HIGHLY recommend Sheri N's

Intro to Homeopathy course. Even if you don't plan on prescribing remedies

for acute issues for yourself or your family, but only plan to be treated by

a professional homeopath, it's so important to understand the basics of

homeopathy.

Here is an EXCELLENT article titled, " Can Homeopathy Be Dangerous " by

Little, one of the world's finest homeopaths:

I have an ongoing fight against this fungus, probably due to my

running. Two things have helped me immensely. 1) Making sure there

is plenty of room in my toe box (all shoes) for proper blood

circulation. 2) Putting Tea Tree oil on the toes twice a day at the

least sign of infection. New to holistic thinking, I'm not sure if

Tea Tree oil has any harmful side effects but it has helped with the

fungus.

Tea Tree oil is suppressive. Sheri N. has discussed this many times in the

past. You can do a search in the archives to read about the dangers of tea

tree oil in past posts.
