Ok, I can't take it...I read on one of the websites that have the

recipe NOT to eat it...because one the engredients was really bad

for ingestion (wormwood, I think)...So, what are we doing with this?

If it keeps the plague away, do you think it would get rid of this

stuff on my foot? Two doctors out of three visits say they have no

idea what it is...I have used everything for atheletes foot under

the pharmacy sunvisor, plus this little tiny tube of prescription

stuff that was $42...(even was mighty generous enough to give me one

refill on that stuff, almost got it just to sift for the gold that

must be there...) to tea tree oil straight on the foot for a month,

then started soaking in that salt you soak things in plus tea tree

twice a day...the tea tree dries up the little blisters and it

doesn't itch for a while, but the salt seems to soothe it

better...but, it keeps coming back...and when the blisters dry up I

can pull off the top layer of skin and you can see where the blister

was at.

If it is contagious, no one else in my house has it...and my husband

and I sleep in the same bed for now...and my oldest wears my shoes.

It started out as a dry spot after getting my very first (AND LAST)

pedicure on the outside of my left ankle, over the years (yeap,

about four now) it has moved to my left arch and all along the

outside of my left foot (where you usually have cracks when your

feet get real dry) and is now starting to get on the other arch.

I just can't get over the doctor telling me, " I don't know

everything! " But, gotta give him credit and a medal for being

honest.

It itches so bad I wake myself up sometimes digging with the other

foot...(I dug in my foot one time with a needle to try to find a

worm I saw people had on tv...was willing to take the pain they

seemed to be in when they pulled it out)I can hear yall laughing

already, but I'm telling ya, I ain't never seen nothing like it.

Athlete's foot is no problem for me to get rid of, but this stuff

has me ready to have my foot shaved and put total tonic on it. And

the really puzzling thing is that my feet don't stink like some

folks I've been misfortunate enough to come in contact with...the

smell that is, not the feet.

I have even soaked my foot in pure bleach...and all that did was

burn my foot and give me a massive headache. Take it from someone

who knows first hand, August high noon sun ain't got nothing on

straight bleach.

This is embarrassing for me and gross for yall, I know, but I'm like

the mama in labor and at nine centimeters with nothing for pain...I

don't care who sees as long as this is over with soon!

Suzi, thanks for the idea for the Total Tonic and juice. I was right

there with the other folks, wondering how I'd manage a cup of this

stuff raw!!! Dropperfuls...hummmm, I may be able to slip that into

some cranberry to ....Doc, you know where I'm going with this on my

husband...would it be okay to add to cranberry juice?

Yall have a good night, I'm going to bed and leave yall alone for

tonight!

Sure, you could, but I don't think the flavors would compliment each

other.

Best would be in a salad environment, or maybe a pasta environment

where the taste of garlic would be expected.

Love,

Doc

As I mentioned, for myself I take it in a glass of almond milk, but for my son Jamie I put it in his food. I just make sure I prepare something that indeed would normally be eaten with garlic, such as a rice dish. Jamie is a very fussy eater, but has no problem with the added TT that way :-)
