The cure for scabies is moxidectin. We tried everything to cure the scabies, but nothing worked and we have had this for 8 years. Finally we tried the horse dewormer gel in a tube called moxidectin. It is not meant for people. But for horses and animals, but I discovered the government has been testing it for scabies, and it is FDA approved for river blindness, which is a type of roundworm. So, yes, people do use it anyway. I got the moxidectin off of Amazon and there is a slide handle on the end. That explains how to use it. But for people each tick is one black short line and is for 50 pounds of weight. Maximpulse site explains how to use this moxidectin and we truck it one time as he advised on the dose, but he is not responsible. Here, as he just tells how he used it and not telling anyone else to do it. And neither am I

All I am saying is we took it one time one single dose and it killed all of the scabies. This moxidectin starts working right away, killing them. And it will work for a round a month to kill them.All so one dose is all that is ever needed. Check it out as this stuff. Really works Maximpulse moxidectin.

Scabies can be seen very clearly. Especially the large adults. I have jar full of them. I had one get in eye and quickly grabbed a 20 year old incision line from RK corrective eye surgery and pulled it open. Luckily I had some liquid metronidazole and that got him to let go. I pulled it off my eyelash. Lucky that I got in to see an eye doctor in the morning or I cuold have lost my eye sight. It was badly swollen and infected. I used decolorized iodine ( 2 drops in a 1/2 ounce of water to get them out of my eurethra where they had a nest nearly blocking urination. I read on one site a doctor describing scabies as a nusciance! The bigger ones make make blood run out when they burrow. Rusts can be killed with calamine lotion applied with multiple coats till they gone.

Essential Oils
Posted by Luann (Indiana) on 11/11/2025

OMG, this person nailed it right on the head when they said the amounts and dosages are all wrong. I agree that the doctors now days are not fixing the problem by giving us permethrin which is too toxic in the first place and does not kill them and a week apart for using them is hog wash. I read on here and did many, many different things to kill them and some work to a certain extent but does not kill them all and my husband has had them for several years to the point of his legs being scaley like a chickens. So anyway, to make a long story short I revisited this site and once again read up on the essential oils and decided to give tea tree oil another try but by using a stronger batch this time after watching a young woman on youtube saying that she cured herself and her children and the baby of 6 months by using coconut oil in the jar that looked similar to crisco shortnening. Yep she bought it at Walmart along with the 100% Tea Tree Oil and she claimed to mix it at a 5% ratio like this, she put 1 cup of the coconut oil solid stuff into a small bowl with a lid and added 1 tablespoon of the Tea Tree Oil to it and mixed it up very well and she said she smeared it all over herself and left it on overnight, don't know if she left it all day also or not, but she said next day she could see a big improvement so she did the kids and baby and they all improved daily. She claimed it took two weeks of doing this to kill the scabies on all of them along with correct cleaning of the house and clothing, bedding. OK, so I didn't have any coconut oil but I did have Aloe Vera Gel and mixed it at the one cup of that with a tablespoon of the tea tree oil and mixed it well until it became a white hue so it was really mixed in well. Didn't burn at all, so I put it on from my top of my hair/scalp very well and all the way to my bottom of my feet. I felt a cooling feeling only and a small tingling where the scabies were in patches and rubbed it in well. Them damn scabies went nuts. Because by now I had them all over similar to my husband but not as bad but still, the scabies started coming out of the skin I picked off what I could and after awhile the aloe dried and left it on all night. By morning I felt so much better, wow and the scabies, yes I could see the big ones and feel them, well, they were all dead and dried up, stuck on the skin in the aloe vera. Dead and hard so rubbed them off into the shower and down the drain, put more of this aloe on myself, just not my hair and left that on all day, felt so good on my skin, no more itching either. At night I put it on again, no shower then just head to toe and then shower it off in the morning and reapply it just not the hair then. My skin and hair are being repaired by this Aloe Vera and it also kills the scabies as well as the tea tree does also. Oh plus I had read that in India they use this and say that the tea tree oil kills the scabies mites and that we have it wrong about the eggs over here, because they say that it also kills the eggs....all stages of them. So after using this on myself for a few days my husband noticed how well I was doing with using it and so he decided to give it a try. I helped him and smeared it on him all over that night. Next morning he said I am not using this stuff no more just look at me...and I looked and he had red welts all over his back, belly, arms, butt just everywhere and he told me he thought he was allergic to it...so he washed it off. Two days later he looked at me and saw that I look pretty good, mine are going away pretty quick. Fastes stuff I have ever used so far and I have used every damn thing...and he said, hey, I want to try it again. I told him that I did so he put ablob on his arm and rubbed it in to test and see if he really was allergic to it and nope, several hours went by, no break out on arm. So that night we covered his body with the Aloe Vera and tea tree oil again. Because I told him that all of those red spots that he had broken out with the other time were in little 3 or 4 bump lines, like the scabies make when they lay eggs and the skin gets those red bumps lines. I think he had that reaction to the aloe stuff because it was killing them...see I had some of those myself when I first used it here and there but not as bad as him because he had way more of them than I did. So next morning no additional red bumps, and the older ones looked way better, which told me I was right. He had broken out so bad when he first used it because it was tearing them up and they became angry when their homes in the skin was being entered by this aloe which brought it's companion tea tree oil with it. ha ha it broke down they homes and they died, they came out by the droves and were all stuck, dead as hell on his belly, back, hell his whole body that next morning. Now, did it kill them all, no, but they are dieing and we are finding less of them every day now. been a week and I thought to myself, this works so great but I'd like to make something else that's easier to get into my longer hair than the aloe vera and so I read where some use different carrier oils. Once again a light bulb went off in my head and I grabbed a 20 oz. bottle of Johnson's baby oil out of the cabinet and proceeded to make up a 2 cup batch of the baby oil with a Tablesoon of the tee tree oil and then I added to that 8 drops of neem oil, 6 drops of sweet orange oil and 6 drops of clove oil. Shook it all up until it became sort of milky looking, mixed well and I took a shower with regular blue dawn dishwashing liquid as usual, works well and feels great to me. Rinsed off well, did not dry, just grabbed the baby oil bottle that has all of those wonderful essential oils in with it and rubbed it on from my face down, lightly on my eyes, not getting it into them but did lightly brush it on my eyelashes because they do get into them also, in my nose lightly as well, did not burn at all, anywhere. did not do my hair though as it was morning shower time. Will do my hair and all the way down my body again tonight. I feel great too. I think one more week and I will be clear of these little pesky, I wanna say the B word here but won't...but this does kill them and I believe this is the answer that I have prayed for. By God, where there is a will, there is a way, and I do also believe he has showed me this way. So I thought I'd share my experience with you all and hope it helps you like it is helping me and my husband. Just start slowly at first if you try it. A small patch test on your arm or somewhere on you where you think there are no scabies to see if your skin reacts with it. I guess I was lucky at first, as I just slathered it on my whole body at one time. Like I said, I did have some red ones raise up like he did but he had tons of them and that's what scared him. But we all are different and we do not all have the same skin. I think though on some things we try we can get scared off from using the one thing that might kill them because if it is strong enough to make the little critters go nuts and trying to get out of their holes in your skin it might be burning them to the point that they just go nuts and make big red welts at first. Now, I have not had a bite since using this stuff after the first three days, no new bites since, they do come out though but no red nothing, just see them laying on the top of the skin hard and dead. Hope I have said enough and this helps you. Have a great day honey.

Hi Diane,

Which brand of olive leaf extract did you take at that time when grand children problem was present and which brand did your son take?

Thank you

Posted by Diane (Pennsylvania) on 10/10/2025

When I worked in a nursing home about 10 years ago, one of the patients came in with scabies. The admin of the nursing home passed out ivermectin like candy to anyone who wanted to take it proactively.

Dr. Morton Walker, in his book about Olive Leaf Extract, says that OLE also works for scabies, which is a parasite. I believe it, and here's why: Years ago, when my grandchildren were younger, someone in their circle had head lice, (another parasite) and even though we used Lice Freee on their heads every time they came to visit, (which was annoying --- we all hated it! ), neither my husband or I ever got head lice, until we stopped taking OLE. At that time, we also did some kind of shampoo, denorex, maybe? But honestly, OLE is all that was needed. No shampoos, no washing loads of laundry or bagging stuffed animals and all that.

Months and months of struggling with the grands and their head lice, my husband and I found out that all we had to do was keep taking an OLE cap daily, and it was kryptonite to head lice. Regardless, being around someone with head lice makes me paranoid to this day and my head instantly starts itching.

And that's not all. One of my sons got a shingles diagnosis from the ER sometime after I read Dr Morton's book, so I suggested he take it, and it only took I believe three days, (it was years ago), for him to recover from shingles because of taking OLE.

Jethro Kloss, in his book titled "Back to Eden", recommends the following natural remedy for Scabies:

"Before each application of the following salve, thoroughly wash the affected parts with tar soap. All clothing must be washed in boiling water. When the clothes cannot be washed or boiled, press them with a hot iron to destroy any insects that may be on them. Take one tablespoon of each of the following: burdock root, yellow dock root, and yarrow. Steep them in a pint of boiling water for a half hour. Strain through a cloth into a cooking pan (not aluminum), and add one pound of cocoa fat or Crisco. Boil this slowly, stirring frequently until it has boiled down to the consistency of a salve. This is an excellent salve for itch or eczema of any kind."

"If students are found to be infected with the scabies mite, they should be kept at home until cured. Frequent washing of the body is necessary. There are now many lotions available for the treatment of scabies that are very effective. These lotions should be applied to the entire body below the neck and washed off the following day. One or two additional treatments at weekly intervals may be necessary to rid the body of all the mites."

Lorisayshey (San Diego, Ca), You did an amazing job. You made an amazingly large and thorough effort and succeeded after cleaning, washing, drying, vacuuming, spraying, sanitizing and sterilizing everything, and making all that effort, day after day, every single day. However, no one should work that hard. In my experience, all we really-really need is a little bit of food-grade diatomaceous earth.

Sea Salt Spray
Posted by RELIEF (USA) on 07/20/2025
 ★★★★★

1. Fill a small saucepan 3/4 full with water

2. Bring to a rolling boil.

3. Add 1/2 cylinder about 18 oz or more if possible, of salt letting it dissolve slowly as you pour more salt in.

4. Pour in spray bottle and spray on affected areas.

This is affordable and doable and will bring much needed relief but not 100% cure.

You can also soak in a salt water bath.

The person that shared this info on Reddit, may God bless him, believes the salt smothers the scabies.

Blessings and good health to you all.

The mites you are referring to that the call "incurable" and the only thing you can to is to treat the immune system are called demodex mites. That might be somthing to consider. Every animal has a form of demodrx mites, including humans. They are passed from mother to offspring during the birthing process, skin to skin contact, and breast feeding. Most people don't have any symptoms and never even know they are there...others who have a weakened immune system can't fight them effectively causing them to get out of hand.

Here I thought I "invented" this method. Lol BUT IT WORKS WELL. Like other people r sayi.g, it works instantly.u can feel all the scabies moving/trying to get away from the heat. That entire section of ur skin under the heat comes alive. Be sure that u can suffer 122-124°f temps. That inself is torturous but it works.

I also turned the hotwater heater up to 130°f so im getting about 124°f out of the shower head.this works well to especially for places u cant reach nor put Ivermectin or Permethrin cream on. I live alone (I got scabies from x, what a "gift"). Anyway the hot showers are what I started with and most of the scabies have cleared out off my belt line and everywhere else EXCEPT for that one little spot in the middle of my back. Treatment continues.

Anything and every piece of clothing that I take off instantly goes in the dryer. My dryer is 138° consistantly. For bed linings I dry one pice at a time to make sure that high temp hits everypart of the linines.

I have this for a 5-6 weeks but I only knew I had scabies for 2 wks now. After reading other post I guess I may have several more weeks to rid the house and of these horrible microscopic demons. O m g! I HATE THEM.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

I do UBER and often I end up with getting nasty Scabies from passengers that we pick up.

My best advice is from an Japanese guy who taught me .He is a Veteran Uber driver in L.A. and it worked for me like an magic.

It's Lemongrass oil.

It smells good and it takes care getting rid of that nasty critters from your body and also kill them at same time.

Put drops of that oils into your shampoo & conditioner too, then put on your palms & rub it all over your body after the shower . Make sure wash your clothes in hot water and put it in hot heat dry. Clean your house, bedding, garage and yes, your car interior too.

Good luck.

Yes, you can 100% see scabies with an IPhone camera (which is as good as a microscope these days). You can see the actual mite, you can see the eggs and you can see the fecal matter around them. I work with the infectious disease department and it is a FACT that yes, you can see them. You can also see them with a naked eye if you know exactly what you're looking for. It obviously just looks like a tiny spec, but if you have been diagnosed with scabies, you know what those specs are.

Host switching is a thing. And with climate change, we're going to see a lot more of it.

1. Not everyone here is describing obvious scabies infestations. There are literature reports of human infestations with Psoroptes, Cheyletiella, Dermanyssus gallinae, Ornithonyssus sylviarum, Ornithonyssus bacoti - bird mites, rat mites, rabbit mites, and variants of Sarcoptes other than scabiei. Laymen can't reliably distinguish them.

2. Pesticide resistance is a thing. And the pharma industry seems to think that resistance to permethrin is overcome by modifying the side chains. They've forgotten all about drug class resistance, apparently, even with beta-lactamase sitting right in front of them.

3. Although only about 20% of young people carry Demodex [folliculorum, brevis, or both] 90% of 70+ year olds do. Immunity is also a thing. No reason this would not be true of other mite species.

4. The desire to kick people who are down is unbecoming. Until you have dealt with a refractory illness, consider that your experience is not all encompassing.

Hello Tessa,

I saw a Licensed Bio-magnetic therapist. She trained under Dr. Groiz. The magnets used for this therapy are very powerful, so I believe one should leave this type of treatment to the experts. A fridge magnet strength would be about 40 gauss. We are talking 3500 - 5000 gauss strength for this type of treatment.

Hi DB from Canada –

Regarding the Bio-magnetic Pair Therapy (7 treatments at 45 minutes per treatment) - I'm curious.

Do you see a bio-magnetic practitioner for the sessions or do you have your own set of magnets and self-treat?

https://biomagnetismsedona.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/NewStandard_in_Self-Help_Care.pdf

The red and black magnets are on Amazon under the brand name MagnetRX®, as well as a book by Dr. Groiz.

Is that what you (or your practitioner) use?

If magnets can help a number of ailments, it sounds like it would be very handy to have them in the family's first aid kit.

Thanks, Tessa

Infrared Sauna Blanket: Gradually work up to 1 hour, and gradually increase the temperature. Drink lots of water after use. Do this everyday.
Bio-magnetic Pair Therapy: I noticed a difference almost immediately. I had 7 treatments at 45 minutes per session.

Megadose of Vitamin D3: My daily dose of D3 is 20,000 ui as recommended by Dr. Berg YouTube. I noticed Scabies were disturbed when I took this. (Please note: Scabies parasite are like hornets. When you disturb their nests they fight back and make you feel uncomfortable, itchy. So when you are feeling uncomfortable, or if your skin breaks out, this is a good sign you are winning the war.)

Figs: Are a natural parasitic. I noticed scabies were disturbed when I ate figs regularly. Eat them every day, 1/2 cup cooked or dried.

Avoid Sugar and Excess Meat and Dairy: A healthy immune boasting diet of raw nuts, raw seeds, vegetables and complex carbs.

Chamomile for Scabies – In France, equal parts of fresh chamomile leaves, olive oil, and lard constitute a popular remedy for scabies. It is said to effect a cure by the 3rd application, to instantly sooth all irritation and not to give rise to any secondary affections. (Bazin).

Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide Soak
Posted by Sherri (PNW) on 09/13/2024

Hello April,

Sorry to hear about your skin condition. Unfortunately, this situation has become quite widespread in the U.S. and most do not know the symptoms or the various clinical presentations, including most doctors.

There is also a form of scabies going around that looks like a fine, white, scaly sheen on the skin that gradually spreads and eventually forms reddish/purple areas of infection.

Being that this condition is highly contagious (many pick it up in the hospitals of all places) I think everyone should be practicing "preventive hygiene" with regards to this and other skin issues. Many people pick this up from shopping carts, sitting on furniture, petting an animal, etc.

Below is an outline for a standard treatment for crusted and other forms of scabies. you can also look at all the other effective treatments used on EarthClinic - there are many.

For your situation, you would probably want to wear gloves after applying any topicals for the day. And, being that there is already an infection, you might want to seriously consider using EmuaidMax as part of your topical treatment since is it highly effective for a variety of skin infections.

"Daily Topical Frequency" will be key for your healing as well as treating your environment and immune system.

TREATMENTS THAT WORK

Successful treatment must be multi-faceted to "kill" the infection permanently on the body and in the environment, this includes:

1. Total environment treatment - this is how most people become reinfected on a daily basis.

2. Complete Skin treatment - most treatments are not long enough &/or thorough enough. And, many products are not effective.

3. Immune system treatment - very important to strengthen; add in supplements; diet (organic, no sugar, etc); probiotics; etc.

4. Treat other people/animals in your environment - a source of reinfection.

TOTAL ENVIRONMENTAL TREATMENT

Disinfect (kill microbes & mite) everything in your "total" environment that you touch: e.g, backpack, computer, car, home, work place, anything you frequently touch, clothes, purses, belts, shoes and shoe laces, washing machine, dryer, seat belt, surfaces, furniture, electrical switches, door knobs, cabinets, cabinet knobs, many other objects you touch, countertops, floors, pets, clothes, gas station hose handles, kitchen appliances, faucets, grocery cart handle, all door knobs, other people, etc..

Many forget one or two significant items/objects which recontaminate them (e.g., seat belt, purses, computer, belts, coats, pet, Gas Station Hose handles, grocery carts, door knobs, couch, another persons clothes, etc).

Use "killing" agents to spray/soak/disinfect your total environment. Some effective anti-scabies-mite killing agents include: Enzyme sprays (non-toxic, e.g. Kleen Green and many others), Benefect, 91% Isopropyl Alcohol (very toxic, damages wood, only use for non-precious surfaces to save money), CedarCide, Clove Essential Oil spray, etc... Google.

Safe Rooms - start disinfecting the most important rooms (bathroom, bedroom then kitchen) and move out from there.

When you return to your newly made "safe" room(s) make sure to spray yourself (clothes/hands) so that you do not recontaminate the safe environment. Or, wear gloves in these areas and replace clothing. Or, can use shoe covers, gloves and an "overall suit" when you treat contaminated areas so that you don't re-contaminate your clothes, shoes and body and "safe" rooms.

Laundry - purchase "scabies" killing agents to add to wash water, NSF Bleach (safer bleach, less toxic - Dr Hulda Clark), Enzyme products, Cedarcide, etc... Soak clothes in one of these agents for 1 hour prior to adding to washer (in a plastic bin). Don't forget to disinfect washing machine and dryer. Dry clothes for one hour on high.

One of the most helpful and versatile tools is an enzyme spray. Overtime, when applied throughout the day to the skin (rub it in), it can get rid of the infection. It kills the surface organisms on the skin so that you do not recontaminate anything - lasts for a couple hours. Some people have soaked their feet, hands, etc in concentrated enzyme solution to get rid of their infection. And, it is a great non-toxic spray to kill the organism in the environment, clothes, etc.

COMPLETE SKIN TREATMENT

Use several skin treatments at the same time and be sure to use them for at least 1-3 months as you clean your environment: skin topical, skin prep, daily frequency, internal skin treatment (ivermectin, immune system, diet) and "longer" duration of treatment.

TOPICAL

Compounded Ivermectin Cream: 3% Ivermectin + 10% DMSO + Versabase. Very effective. Apply to clean skin 3-6x/day, rub in very well. Kills all surface organisms.

EmuAid MAX: rub very, very well into clean skin, 4-6x/day. You do not need much. This is VERY effective and non-toxic. It also kills the eggs overtime. Ingredients include: emu oil, tea tree oil, silver, ceramides, etc...

Sulfur Creams: many good ones. Must be minimum 10% sulfur. DIY: 75% flower of sulfur powder, 15% 100% gum turpentine oil, 10% raw shea butter or raw neem oil or coconut oil. Can vary the ratios. THIS IS A VERY EFFECTIVE TREATMENT & TIME TESTED FOR 100 of YEARS. A ready made sulfur cream that works very well on all scabies is NuStock though, it contains petroleum-based oil.

The physician-based sulfur treatment of old was 3 steps, using: 10% sulfur/salicylic cream 2-4x/day, 10% sulfur/salicylic soap treatment 2x/day (in shower or bath) along with effective environmental cleaning.

Essential Oils & Creams - essential oils that kill scabies: clove, peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, etc. Neem oil is also used to kill scabies. CAUTION: be sure to test any oil you use on a small area first to ensure you are not allergic or hypersensitive to any oil!

Good Recipes: use peppermint oil straight (with no dilution), it kills the organism, the larvae and eggs. Or, mix it with "real" tea tree oil from Australia. If skin is sensitive to this, use raw neem oil, raw shea butter or coconut oil to dilute with.

Clove essential oil 30 drops + Peppermint essential oil 20 drops + Raw Shea Butter 1-2+ tablespoons (depending on your sensitivity), mix well. Apply 3-6x/day.

SKIN PREP

"Prepping" the skin before applying a treatment often works better to clear the infection more quickly (allows better exposure to treat the organism, removes biofilm/dirt/fungus, "kills" the superficial layer of organisms) .

Can prep the skin in various ways: spraying on non-toxic alcohol or witch hazel (e.g., organic grain alcohol - can add orange and/or lavender essential oil); washing with baking soda/borax/H2O2 then rinsing with vinegar; or apply orange essential oil mixed with a light carrier.

THE BEST SKIN PREP & EVEN COMPLETE TREATMENT:

Use 10% sulfur soap with 3% Salicylic Acid - this is the most common/effective skin prep for scabies and can even effectively treat the condition.

Instructions: soak soap in hot water for 5-10 minutes, lather the soap VERY WELL until it forms a very rich lather, then apply to the skin, rub in very well, entire body, leave on for 10-15 minutes (keeping it moist). Rinse. Repeat. Ideally, do this twice daily. Air dry.

Some have reported using a salt/sulfur/salycilic acid soap works wonders.

Another "cheaper" skin prep/treatment remedy that works is soaking in a salt bath for 1 hour a day (or, two, 30 minute sessions), for a minimum 3 weeks. Add 5 lbs salt to a hot bath, dissolve. Can add other "anti-mite" ingredients if you want to (sulfur, borax, H2O2, lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oi, homeopathics).

Then, apply topical treatments.

IMMUNE SYSTEM & SKIN INTERNAL

Important to eat a healthy diet

Take immune building supplements

May need to take oral Ivermectin or another oral anti-mite medication or herbal treatment.

Very important to "alkalize" an overly acidic system (lemon juice and baking soda, 2x/day) and to "detox" (daily ChlorEnergy tablets, activated charcoal/bentonite clay capsules, raw sauerkraut, fulvic/humic acid, etc.).

Eat high health protein, healthy fats, organic, no sugars/simple carbs, no gluten or dairy (for a while at least), try grain-free diet, etc.

PETS

Mite Shampoo every other day, weekly.

May need to take an oral anti-mite med like Ivermectin & build up their immune system.

Wash/treat pet bed frequently. Do not let pets sleep with you.

Frequently spray pet with enzyme spray or rub in diatomaceous earth.

MULTI-PRONGED TREATMENTS THAT WORKED FOR PEOPLE I KNEW THAT HAD WHAT YOU DESCRIBE:

* Used a good enzyme spray for treating entire environment, soaked laundry in it for 1 hour (or soaked with Cedarcide), and sprayed their body with it multiple times a day. Carried an enzyme spray bottle with them at all times and treated their hands frequently throughout the day, sprayed grocery carts or used protection, etc.

* Used sulfur soap protocol (discussed above).

* Treated their pets with mite shampoo and Ivermectin if possible.

* Applied either 3% Ivermectin or EmuaidMax cream, 2-4x/day, to entire body or areas of infection and beyond.

* A couple also took oral Ivermectin, 12 mg, 2-4x/day, for a month. See your physician. Take with food/fat.

* Healthy diet & took immune supplements like Colostrum from NZ; Vitamins - C/D3/K/A/E/Zn/Mg/BComplex; minerals, ChlorEnergy; Ayurvedic Herbs; etc.

KEY: NO STRESS - they simply "did" the treatments as they were able to without "stressing" about it, knowing it WILL eventually work. They progressed slowly with the various environmental treatments and added in other treatments as they were able. After 1-6 months, their infections completely disappeared and did not return. KNOW THAT THIS CAN BE RESOLVED, MANY HAVE DONE IT.

NOTE: there are many VERY EFFECTIVE, HOMEOPATHIC topical (creams, soap, sprays) and oral treatments that work well!

Wishing you a VERY effective and "quick" resolution!

Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide Soak
Posted by Lydia (LA) on 09/08/2024

You need a different approach. You are trying to fight it externally but all diseases even yours thrive in a body that is unable to eliminate it on its own. Homeopathic Medicines for Scabies Homeopathy is a wonderful science that treats diseases with natural and safe medicines. As the healing system of the body is strengthened, the disease is completely eradicated. Its holistic approach attacks the infection at the root and prevents recurrence of the disease. Top rated medicines for scabies include Sulphur, Causticum, Sepia, Arsenic Album, Kali Sulphuricum, and Psorinum.

1. Sulphur – One of the leading Medicines for Scabies One of the most prescribed medicines for scabies is Sulphur. The symptoms to look out for include intense itching and scratching which worsen with washing and heat, especially during the night. The condition is characterized by unhealthy skin with pimply eruptions which are painfully sensitive to air, wind, and washing. Washing.

2. Causticum – Most Effective Remedy for Scabies Causticum is one of the most well-indicated medicines for scabies. Scabies, especially in the folds of the skin and between the thighs, responds well to Causticum. Causticum is also one of the best medicines for scabies with intense itching and scratching in the finger webs, leading to great soreness. Burning, rawness and soreness are the key symptoms to look out for in scabies cases where Causticum will prove effective.

3. Sepia – Top Remedy for Scabies Sepia is one of the most effective medicines for scabies cases where a person complains of itching vesicles not relieved by scratching. The skin turns pinkish from scratching. The condition gets worse in the open air while the person feels better in a warm room. Scabies which is present mostly at the bends of the elbows and knees and where scratching does not provide any relief is also treated well with Sepia, making it a popular prescription among Homeopathic medicines for scabies.

4. Arsenic Album – Top rated among Medicine for Scabies Scabies with violent itching along with great restlessness is treated well with medicine Arsenic Album. The skin peels off in large scales and is very sore to touch in such cases. Dry, rough, scaly, dirty skin like parchment burns intensely. Over-sensitiveness of the skin with acute itching and burning is observed in cases where Arsenic Album will prove the most effective among medicines for scabies. The person is unable to sleep due to violent itching in the affected areas.

5. Kali Sulphuricum – Excellent Remedy for Scabies Kali Sulphuricum is considered one of the most suitable medicines for scabies cases where the symptoms include dry and harsh skin with extreme itching. Peeling and flaking of the skin are observed. Kali Sulphuricum is one of the best medicines for removal of scabs (desquamation of the skin) after skin infections. Scabies that worsens with heat is also treated well with Kali Sulphuricum, rating it among the best medicines for scabies.

6. Psorinum – Effective Remedy for Scabies Psorinum is another of the most prescribed medicines for scabies. It has shown the most remarkable results in case of unhealthy skin with an abnormal tendency to skin diseases. In such cases, the person complains of intolerable itching which gets worse from lying in bed. In fact, so severe is the itching that the person scratches until the skin starts to bleed. Psorinum is the best treatment option among medicines for scabies with dirty, rough, scabby, greasy skin along with violent itching.

Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide Soak
Posted by pinetree (East, US) on 09/07/2024

1. Hello, I have been fighting scabies for a long time, and I am very exhausted. Every time I treat it in various ways, it comes back again. I feel like the mites are under my thickened skin, but dermatologists just dismiss it when I tell them. I've tried various methods on my own to soften the hardened skin, but it keeps thickening again, and the area becomes itchy at night. How can I soften the skin so that the scabies creams can be better absorbed?

2. I have applied a mixture of borax and hydrogen peroxide to my body. If I applied it at night, should I shower the next morning, or should I wait 24 hours before showering? Thank you.

I have crusted scabies on my left hand. There is a huge hole and another developing hole where the scabies were killed with ivermectin and then eggs hatch and they come right back. No e of the doctors I have seen are familiar with crusted scabies and I can't get them to treat me for 2 to three days in a row and then same thing a week later. I itch constantly permethrin just causes infection on top of infestation. An emergency room Dr referred me to a wound center he doesn't believe I have scabies cause he is stupid and don't believe in ivermectin just more and more and more permethrin. He said the wound center has 100percent peroxide, he thinks the holes are infection and that I have been on too many antibiotics. Will the 100 percent peroxide kill the scabies and their eggs? I hope so I am miserable this has been going on 3 months.

Hello Replied, yes little hard gritty things come out, when I´m laying in a castor oil bad for 4 days. Yes the hole time. But it heals not enough, because the mites are deeper under the skin. With the castor oil I can suffocate them and then some came out so you describe and I get 4000 -5000 little pmples. And the immune system is relief. But it is not enough. Now I removed my tooth titan implants and the speed of spresding is reduced, but not so that it can heal. Can you describe your oil concotion? To make all clean I do it with the sprays you describe. I have the problem that the mites don´t go away from me, not with new infection only by self infection (hand to skin in the face and so on, I wear the whole day gloves). Where I can buy animal stuff? Here in germany is it not possible. I have it above the hole body, now in the mouth. I want anymore

Ivermectin, Borax and Peroxide

I stumbled across earthclinic.com while researching the scabies mite and am so grateful for the information I read from the community here. I wanted to share my story as well in case it may help others. My symptoms started about 6 weeks ago with a couple of itchy bumps in my belly button. The itchy bumps spread just outside my belly button over about 2 weeks, then turned into a burning rosy red circle about 2 inches around my belly button after swimming in the Ocean. Over the next week, the itching and the redness expanded to cover my abdomen. I thought it was a yeast infection that started in my belly button and was aggravated by my swim in dirty water (we had just had a flood and the Ocean wasn't clean), so I was treating for yeast/fungus. After a couple weeks, my symptoms were not improving and the itchy rashing had spread to my armpits, butt crack and thighs. I don't have health insurance, so I used the Dr. OnDemand app (which I would recommend! … It was $79 with a $10 off coupon from a friend for a 15 minute session which saved me so much time & money from having to go to an Urgent Care clinic). The Dr. recognized my symptoms immediately (she had just gone through having the mite herself and told me it took her a year (! ) to get over). She offered to prescribe permethrin- but I opted not to take as I learned permethrin is stored in fat cells and possibly difficult to expel from the body over time. She prescribed Ivermectin which I was comfortable with. I practice acupuncture, have been using natural medicine for about 20 years and haven't used over the counter or prescribed pharmaceuticals for so long- less a round of antibiotics for a staph infection over a decade ago. After a couple weeks of ignorance, the scabies had spread to a significant portion of my body. The 1st round of ivermectin helped. The rash got more intense with the kill-off. I had been using boric acid- dissolved about 1/4 cup into a pint of hot water and would dip a paper towel in the jar and wipe over my rashed areas. The boric acid relieved the itching for a couple hours at a time. I washed my bedding (minimized my bedding by just using a sheet, one little pillow and a little blanket) everyday and clothing at least every other day in hottest possible water and hottest dryer setting (sanitize). I took 2 hot showers a day, and a bath with boric acid or tea tree oil when I could. I started using neem oil all over my body after shower… but found the itching would start sooner after using the oil than when I used the boric acid. I live in about 98% humidity though- so just a word of caution, the boric acid is very drying to the skin and I don't know how it would be in a less humid environment. I also started taking sulphur homeopathic. 8-9 days after taking the Ivermectin, I noticed more bumps, spreading to new locations and the itching continued. I took another dose of Ivermectin on the 10th day. Noticed a little difference this time, but was feeling a little dismayed with the progress. It was during this time that I found earthclinic and read about the 50/50 solution of boric acid and hydrogen peroxide. When I added the hydrogen peroxide to my boric acid wash, the tingle felt amazing. I feel this is when I started to turn and gain ground on healing. I also started taking a sulphur supplement (500mg MSM Organic Sulfur Capsules by No Boundaries Health and Wellness – 180 Vegetable Capsules: No Excipients or Fillers – Premium Health Supplement: 99.9% Pure MSM Powder – Joints, Skin, Hair, Nail ) and started using a sulphur soap (Naturasil 10% Sulfur Lavender Soap Bar Natural Skin Treatment for Acne, Bug Bites, Warts Treatment, Viral Bumps, Nodes & Itching), and took another round of Ivermectin (8 days after the 2nd dose). Now, about 6 weeks after the 1st signs, 4 weeks of which the infection was crazy intense, all over my body (abdomen, butt crack, thighs, lower legs, ankles, hands, all of my arms, armpits, chest, and neck), I'm feeling the best I've felt yet. I'm not waking at night with burning itching and have just a few bumps now left on my abdomen. I'm keeping up with the boric acid/hydrogen peroxide wash multiple times/day, will keep taking the sulphur supplements and washing with sulphur soap (why not! - it's great for skin & hair) and will be taking- hopefully the last round of Ivermectin on day 7 or 8 depending on if new bumps appear. Feeling great now and confident the mites are not feeling so at home anymore on my body.

In summary… -Ivermectin - I was recommend to take 10 days apart, but seemed that 8 days between doses was more effective. - 50/50 solution of boric acid and hydrogen peroxide. I used paper towels (too many unfortunately, but didn't want to re-use a cloth) to wipe over affected areas multiple times/day. Will dry out the skin- but my skin has recovered relatively fast after the mites left. - Sulphur supplement (1000mg 3xday) - Sulphur soap (2xday) - loads of turmeric in my food and as tea - acupuncture helped with inflammation and sleep - little to no processed sugar and minimal ultra processed foods - hot showers or bath (bath with boric acid & hydrogen peroxide was best). - also started using a (homemade) calendula oil with lavender and tea tree oil on my face and hair which my skin loved and seemed to ward off the spread to my face and head. Best of luck to everyone!!

I'm so sorry you're going through this, sounds similar to my experience. I was over a year and wanted to give up, but please know you WILL beat this, keep going. Do you have a plastic encasement to put over your mattress? You also need water proof pillow case protectors. Change bedding every day, soak in hot borax water for at least 4 hours. spray the plastic mattress protectors with a mix of 3% hydrogen peroxide tea tree and clove and orange or tea tree oil with water and dry before new bedding. That was a huge game changer for me. Doing the oils after sauna or after hottest bath was good too, alternated with the toxic doc prescribed stuff but I bought concentrated animal stuff and diluted. Used stronger stuff on the spots. I noticed the permethrin especially made my skin itchy but usually I could put my oil concoction on a spot and a little hard gritty thing would come out, the permethrin itch would not do this so I knew it was that.

Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide Paste, High Heat
Posted by Shug (CA) on 05/18/2024
 ★★★★★

Skip the MD's--they are taught Permethrin cream and oral Ivermectin--this does not work for difficult cases. Reading these posts will make you more informed than them. Other learned truths: Scabies definitely becoming resistant to most treatments, Tea Tree oil must be diluted before applying or you will get a chemical burn, Pet stores and Amazon great locations to get Permethrin and Ivermectin (but be sure to dilute to human percentages--e.g. Permethrin must be 5% so dilute with half water), must vacuum daily (you are shedding critters), must wash clothes in hot water and dry in hot dryer 30 min. to be safe, you will continue to itch for 2-3 weeks but no new bites, hair dryer as hot as you can stand on spot of bite works, too.

Now, order the 4 pack of Borax on Amazon and go to the dollar store to get the Hydrogen Peroxide.

1.Run a bath as hot as you can stand (they cool off quickly) and boil 2 cups of water to which you slowly add 1 cup of Borax while stirring constantly, then add one cup Peroxide (the 3% normal stuff sold everywhere). Pour this concoction into your hot bath, swirl it around and get in and soak for 30 minutes (don't forget to dip your head into the bath at the end--they are on your scalp and in your hair, too, just like dogs).

2.When done get 1/2 cup Borax and 1/2 cup Peroxide, mix together and apply head to toe while standing in your empty tub (if you have someone to heat your Peroxide before mixing that will make a smooth paste, otherwise the rough Borax may irritate your skin but works just the same).

3. Use a hair dryer to blow dry the concoction on your skin (don't go near water--electrocution risk). Dry hair and put a disposable plastic shower cap over your head to sleep.

4. Put on clean clothes, put your old clothes and used towel/washcloth directly into plastic bag and take to laundry room.

5. If you feel a bite (bites are sharp like a needle piercing your skin, itching is not sharp) get the hair dryer and blow the spot at the highest temp you can take without burning your skin--start close then slowly increase distance away from skin and work back to close again, do this for about 20 seconds. Critters don't like heat and the goal is to kill them before they lay their eggs.

6. Continue baths, post-bath Borax/Peroxide for 1-2 weeks. You should feel better day by day, especially if using the hairdryer trick, too.

Wash all bedding/towels daily (put plastic protectors over your mattress and pillow), all clothing worn daily. Wash in hottest temp and then, if possible, dry in sun before drying in dryer for 30 min. at hottest setting. Let clothing/bedding/towels go unused for 3 days after washing before using again. I have read the critters die after 2-3 days off a person, but I also read where some lived for 18 days! We want them gone!! If you can sleep away from others, even better.

Make a spray of your pet/livestock store 10% permethrin and water in a spray bottle (1 oz. Permethrin to 4 oz. water) and spray everywhere you touch--chairs, sofa, bed (with bedding removed), pillow, area in laundry room where you put your plastic bags with dirty linens, inside dryer, inside washing machine, hairbrush and comb, laundry basket, car seats, steering wheel, arm rest, etc. Vacuum daily all rugs, tile, floors. Sprinkle Borax on all carpets and let sit overnight before vacuuming up the next day (wear a face mask so you don't inhale)-- Do this once. I also sprayed all carpets and floors and furniture with the Permethrin solution but I don't think that's necessary and it makes your house smell toxic--air it out and use fans to blow the smell away. Spray can be applied to furniture and car seats daily. After 2 months of unsuccessful treatments I was willing to try everything. They also tell you to make a skin lotion of Coconut oil (the kind you buy for cooking) and Tea Tree oil (also available on Amazon, use 5 drops per ounce of oil) but this just made a greasy feel and can't say it repelled anything--may make your skin sting from sore spots or if you rubbed the Borax in too hard. Hair dryer trick much better and instant relief. Don't lotion up until baths and post-bath solutions are done--the goal is to change the Ph of your skin and repel them and lotion invites them.

Do the baths, Borax/Peroxide after-bath, Hair dryer, and clean, clean, clean, and you should be good within 2 weeks or less. A dose of Ivermectin doesn't hurt, but at $90 a prescription can't say it helps, either. Dosing yourself in Insecticide (Permethrin) and leaving it on only causes it to create toxic response as it is absorbed into your body and liver (I did this, too) and the Permethrin alone doesn't do the job unless you only have one or two red spots under your watch band, between your fingers, at your waist or under your bra (critters like tight, warm spots to live).

Good luck, you will survive this.

Brazil nuts are excellent. As well beef, and eggs. Most agriculture has been depleted of soil selenium, so supplementation is ideal.

Also Heiltropfen Iodine/Iodide is utterly amazing! it is a proper mixture of potassium iodide and iodine.

Tea Tree Oil, Coconut Oil, Epsom Salt
Posted by Claire (Netherlands ) on 05/03/2024

I had scabies since November 2023- so for 6 months now. I tried the counter medicines- ivermectin and permethrin but they were not strong enough to eradicate the problem.
I had crusted scabies on my arm and so these medicines helped to reduce the infection but didn't get rid completely.

one time I went to the dermatologist and she gave me four rounds of the treatment.
I expected it to help but then the scabies spread to my back, stomach and neck in a very bad way.

I started to use natural remedies _ coconut oil unrefined (cold pressed- this is important aspect! ) and warmed it up with tea tree.

well this also seemed to make it worse, I even tried putting the diatomaceous powder on my skin to suffocate them.

I started to think the scabies must be bad in my house, since I live in a studio apartment. Even though I was cleaning thoroughly it felt that I kept getting reinfected.

Eventually, I went to stay in a community for 10 days, with fresh bed sheets and towels. I just took two bags with fresh clothes that I had washed at 60 degrees.

I took the cold pressed coconut oil with me and a box of Epsom salts (magnesium salt) and a box of regular table salt. Every evening I would take a bath and put Epsom salts in it and have a good soak. My skin would feel very itchy and then I'd rub the skin with regular salt. This stung like crazy but I know it killed the scabies. I would leave the salt to sit on my skin for 15 mins and then wash it off. After the bath I would cover my whole body in coconut oil ( be sure to also have short fingernails) and leave it on overnight. In the morning I would put another round of coconut oil on my skin.

This has really helped.

I am now back home and am almost clear of them. I still use coconut oil every day. I don't have a bath here but if an area is itchy I rub Epsom salts into the affected area or tea tree which is great for the itch.

I hope this helps you all!!

Hello Cate, thank you very much for answering. It helps me so much, that somebody wants to help. I will try it with selenium an so on. Vitamin D in high dosis I take it in the moment. Today I´m in the third day where I take the homeopatic remedy. It helps as all treatments a little bit. Perhaps it helps someone else. At the first day I took syphilinum C 200 two globulis (or two drops as in which type you have)(it´s for somebody who weight has lost and when it is worser in the evening with the itching, burning, stinging and so on), then wait for a day, then the third day psorinum C 30 + croton tiglium C 30+ staphesagria C 30 two globulis or two drops of each three times a day for 4 days a week . And cell salts two times a day. two tablets each of them in a cup (1/4) of water. The cell salts are kalium sulphuricum, natrum muriaticum (natrium chloratum), calcera sulphuricum (calcium sulfuricum), silicea. I hope it will heal somebody who read the posts. I will write if it helps.

Sounds like you've tried everything! You're very strong for not giving up!

In dogs, there is a type of scabies that cannot be eradicated by using internal or external treatments. It can only be killed by improving the immune system. 'Selenium' has been used successfully for this. Perhaps you may have a type similar to this.

In addition to what you're already taking, the following taken daily, will help to strengthen your immune system;

  • Selenium
  • Iodine
  • Vitamin D
  • Bone broth (boil raw bones for 2 hours, discard bones)
  • Raw fresh garlic (4 daily, crushed, mixed into butter or extra virgin olive oil, with food)
  • Raw fresh radish (2 small)
  • Beetroot (1 small, or ½ medium size, raw, grated in salad or cooked)
  • The juice & pulp of 1 small Lemon or Lime
  • Unfiltered Extra Virgin Cold pressed Hemp seed oil (1 tsp)
  • ½ or 1 cabbage leaf or any other cruciferous vegetable E.g broccoli. It's ok to eat these raw on occasion but if eaten daily should be cooked (boiled & water discarded) to avoid affecting the thyroid.
  • Potato (peeled, cooked, no green)
  • Sauerkraut 1 tsp (must be from the refrigerator section as it has 'live' bacteria)
  • Milk thistle tea (1 tsp seeds, ground up, boiled 5 minutes)
  • Olive leaf tea (5-10 leaves boiled 5 minutes)
  • Wild caught, cold water fish eg. salmon (3 times a week)

The reason for the above in bold, is because they are the most important for immune health.

Eliminate the following;

  • All grains, as they produce yeast (may make scabies thrive)
  • Vegetable fats or oils (except for extra virgin coconut oil/fat & extra virgin olive oil)
  • Alcohol
  • sugar (genuine honey is good)
  • Condiments such as soy sauce,

Use Himalayan pink salt or any other natural salt in cooking. Avoid table salt.

Use Filtered water when drinking or cooking.

Avoid the following cookware; aluminium, non-stick & enamel. Instead use stainless steel & oven-safe glassware for baking.

I wish you all the best Tebora...

Hello Cate, thank you for your answer and the advice that the skin don´t have anything oil or cream on it, so that the urine can work.

In the moment I taking vitamic C, OPC, probiotics, magnesium, Q enzyme Q10 (a lot of vitamin C, because I think it helps a little bit), for the skin I spray with KleenGrenn enzyme spray or with borax/H2O2 (that was Ted advoice here for dogs), and then I taking homeopathic remedy sulfur C30 three times a day, that's how I get through the day and it doesn't spread so much, but it still stings and burns and itches.

What I tried in the past can you read in my first message. What I do sometimes is to sleep in pur castor oil (I bought a bath tube, where I filled in castor oil and there I have been there for three days, that reduce it (to suffocate them), but not all, then the burning/ itching and the stinging will be greatly reduced, I get about 3000 pimples where it burned and stinged before, and it comes out of the skin (pimples) and it comes very small like grains of sand out of the skin, thats a little bit painfull, but not so much. The advice for castor oil comes from (KleenGreen), they wrote me to put it in the evening on the whole body and then wash off it the next day, then spray or cream the body (with enzyme spray or a cream where you put enzyme (papain) in it) and the next evening put castor oil on the skin and so on. The castor oil should kill the mites immediately on the surface of the skin. Because it is a thick oil. But it is very oily and you have to be careful not to get anything dirty. And I noticed it helps against the burning and itching and so I thought I try it with a bath tube with castor oil. When I reduce the burming /itching/stinging, I feel better and then I gain weight again. But it don´t reach to heal. (I creamed with castor oil 5 weeks and some mites get through somehow)

The stinging and burning is all over the body, but the most on the whole scalp, behind the ears, neck, face here eyebrow and around it, tempels, nose and around it, lips and around it, chin and below, back up and down, butt, knees, feet, ankles, wrists, elbows.

The feelings what I have it is burning, itching and the painfull stinging, sometimes the stinging is until the bone/ a pain of the surface on the bone, (I think, when the mites are deeper and reached nerve tissue, which is connected to the bone.) I have short cold showers/chills (I don´t know the right word in english, I hope you understand me) over the whole day. I get more warts. More edema on the ankles. Dry skin, with very, very small skin flakes. ( I had no skin problems before, had rarly creamed (only in the cold season and then with a homemade marigold cream) only washed with water and a organic soap.

KleenGreen told me, when you treat the mites are extremly they start fighting extremly back with the painfull stinging. I can confirm this (when I took a very good preparation for the immune system, they attacked me very hard, and I had to stop)

Today I will start with a homeopatic treatment, that somebody told me. Here I can´t put anything on the skin, but I will try the urine remedy after that. And I will wash my hands with bicarb/backing soda or vinegar. When the homeopatic treatment works I will write here.

Thank you very much for your answers, thank you so much!!!

I hope the urine works. I agree with Marie to try leaving it on & not using soap to wash it off. I would even go further to suggest not putting anything else on your skin for at least a week. No moisturiser, no deodorant, etc. instead use only urine & water on your body. If you have to wash your hands use either vinegar, bicarb/baking soda as the alternative to soap. Our skin absorbs water more easily than it does oils. Oils can be clogging & cause itching. So for the urine to work the skin must be clear of topical oils.

Are you taking any medications, or supplements, if so which ones?

Have you been putting anything on your skin, if so, what products?

Does the itching appear in a persistent particular area, for example the back?

Does the itching almost feel like its bone deep?

Other than the itching & stinging, do you have any other symptoms?

Tebora, my apologies. I was in a hurry to post my reply and forgot to include the medication. It is called ivermectin. JT found a case where a woman had a severe scabies infection where even the gum tissue in her mouth had scabies. She was treated with 100 mg of ivermectin three times per day, over the course of 15 days. There were no reported side effects and the scabies were eliminated. However, you may want to try just 100 mg 1 time per day for 15 days. If that doesn't work, then you can take a break and then try taking the higher amount of ivermectin daily for 15 days. Here is a link to the article:

Hello Cate, thank you for answering. I used Apple Cider Vinegar often last year. Only that the burning is a little bit better for a half hour, nothing happened. And I let the pure apple cider vinegar on the skin. It isn´t powerfull enough. And it is a good notice, that it must be more itching, because of the dead mites. Sometimes I had it a little bit with sulphur cream or with cayenne pepper cream, but not enough to healing, because it don´t reach all the mites (because are deeper under the skin). And I used a lot from them.

When I have a solution, I will post it immediately

Have you tried Urine Therapy? It is a surprising cure. Your body knows exactly what it needs. I have healed many things with urine therapy and I really believe it can help you too. The best thing about UT is it's always the same medicine no matter what the problem is. This is what you should do. First when you wake up, pee into a cup (morning urine is very beneficial) and step into the tub. Rub the urine all over your skin and give it 5 to 10 minutes to dry, then rinse off with water only no soap. (Although you would have better results if you were to leave it on) Do this for a couple days to see if you notice improvement, you can use urine from any part of the day ad do multiple times a day if you are noticing good effect. Your condition sounds very severe, I would say give it 4 days but you should see results much sooner than that

Try applying Apple Cider Vinegar directly onto the patch of skin that makes you itch. Do not dilute it. Leave it on for 20 seconds, then gently pat dry. If applying to face dilute with equal parts of water. Prior to applying, ensure all skin is completely free from any substance eg. Creams, cosmetics

If you find that after applying the vinegar, your skin is even more itchy, then it's a sign the vinegar is working. In this case, add more vinegar until itching goes away. Then pat dry.

Tell us how you go...

Another person with scabies named JT posted on her. He found a study showing 100mg a day for a couple of weeks worked to eliminate an infection of the mites. I wonder if you tried very hot sauna. I think the mites die in extreme heat. So maybe you can try daily saunas?

scabies, have it anybody extremly ? and what do you do to survive ?

Hello,

I look at earth clinic about over a year. My problem I have scabies for two years and it won´t go away, whatever I do. The mites are deeper under the skin, you can see nothing on the skin, also light red dots. All medecine or home remidies don´t reach the mites enough. Outside, inside and bath treatments also in combination. (I think it is scabies, because eight family members where also infect, also creams don´t reach, because of the deeper inside of the mites, and a dermatologist (skin doctor) said that that was scabies (I don´t know if he see a mite, or he thinks of the skin reaction). I havn´t this skin reaction but the horrobil feelings (stinging, burning, itching, the same as the other family members). And the first skin defensive is missing by myself, because I got it from a short touch from a family member and from there it spreading over the whole body. Now I have it from toe to scalp and I must have thousend or millions of mites. Ivermectin in sereval times help the other family members, but not me. Some people in the internet tell something about red bird mite. I don´t know. (And it is not a re-infection (all cleaning is done), it don´t go from my body). I lost 30 kg weight and my immune system is going down (blood values, you can see it). And I have often short cold chills.

What I have done outside: Permithrin also 4 weeks, Crotamitex, benzoylbenzoat, malathion, bleech, tiger balm, sulfur cream 20% mixed by myself, coconutoil with clove oil 50/50, other oils with etherial oils (lemmon, oregano, champhor, thymian, tea tree, also combinated), garlic in cream, ballistol oil, peru balsam, sulfur lime, MSM cream, turpentine oil, CDL, DMSO, dermatomic earth, enzym spray (KleenGreen), papain (enzym) spray, castor oil and so on

bath: bleech, CDL, epson salt, sea salt, borax with hydrogen peroxid

what I have done inside: Ivermectin tablets also several times, Flucanonzole several times, another woorm tablets, anorganic sulfur, turpentine oil, CDL, DMSO, oregano oil, garlic, bitter herb teas (Yarrow, nettle, horsetail, birch leaves, sorrel (two tablespoon of each in a big tea pot with hot water 15 minutes to let go and drinking over the day), wormwood extract powder, eat hot (chilli), eat a lot of tumeric, eat ginger, eat no sugar and less carbohydrates, eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, fermental drinks, supplements (vitamin C, vitamin B complex, OPC, Q 10, enzymes, probiotics, propolis, bitter melone capsules, grapefruit capsules, vitamin B 3 with flush, and so on

homeopatic: sulfur C 30, arsenicum album C 200, sepia C 200, kalium sulfur C 200, psorinum C 1000, causticum C 30, natrium muriaticum 1 M, staphesagria C30, apis C 30, azadirachta,

All treatments only reduce the speed of spreading. When I do nothing it is spreading extremly. What I recognize after 1-2 weeks you must change the treatment, because the mites have gotten used to it and adapted.

The sulfur C 30 helps best for 3 days (better then permithrin or ivermectin), then no more, castor oil (when creaming over 5 days the whole day) pulls something out of the skin (3000 or more pimples), but it doesn´t reach to cure, causticum helps that the burning isn´t so much,

I need something for the horrobil stinging pain, I can´t anymore. I`m desperated. Have anybody an idea for the horrobil pain? (I think the mites won´t go away in future) Thanks a lot

Parasites are becoming resistant to insecticides. Lice resist permethrin, and farmers are finding that ivermectin no longer works on mange mites.

Physicians don't actually know everything. Search "medical gaslighting", "Morgellons, a filamentous borrelial dermatitis", and "Host switching" and you will discover just how much they don't know.

You can see some species of Demodex with the naked eye. There are far more than the two that doctors mention [brevis and folliculorum], and they ARE host switchers, you CAN get them from animals.

You can also see Cheyletiella parasitovorax with the naked eye, and they too can host switch to humans. Doctors tend to disbelieve this, but ask a vet, or a professional pet sitter, or a pet rescuer. THEY know.

So yes, some mites can be seen on towels and clothing. Please don't kick people when they're down, it's unkind and totally unnecessary.

Maybe ask your doctor for Ivermectin. It is for parasites, including worms.
