scabies is cured!!

My mom and I hd been fighting these scabies mites for 4 years now. Came from chickens she bought from a farmer. We tried everything, and thank god for earthclinic and Ted's recommendations, but still no permanent cheap relief as I was unable to treat the beds and get em all killed. After spending $3000 on a sleep number bed,I couldnt just replace it. However--My mom called me up and told me that spraying hydrogen peroxide solution on herself all over killed the things. I had found it at walmart listed as non-chlorine bleach with a pink label. I tried it and was a little disapointed, maybe 70% results. I figured I had not treated everything in my house properly. Also, I was reading about DMSO. I read where the DMSO goes deep into the skin and you had better be clean where you apply it or it will take the dirt down deep with it. So, I mixed 3/4 cup DMSO, 1 cup water and 1 cup peroxide bought at wal-mart into a spray bottle. Its called non-chlorine bleach with a pink label next to the regular bleach. BINGO, instant kill rate even below the skin. I had to treat the really big spots for a couple of days until they dried up. Now I had the perfect spray for me, my bed, my car, my long haired dogs. Its a miracle. I recommend treating your whole body every day until you have no more spots as they will crawl out of a small "kill zone spray" if you dont add enough DMSO. I put in less (1/4 cup )DMSO and it didnt kill as fast, but still killed em. No smell either. Been 3 weeks now and on those in my family who used it, it works great. I have one family member in denial. however, even so, I can still treat his stuff without the big fight over the smell of the sulfur I was using.

I have a question about your DMSO and hydrogen peroxide treatment. I have heard that Dmso smells like garlic gone bad . Would really like to try it. We are at the point where we are almost cured ...but not quite. My boyfriend insist that he does not have them becsuse he does not itch and I have to throw a fit to get him to do a neem, lavender,orange, and tea tree whole body shampoo every other day. So I doubt I could get him to try something that smells worse. Thanks for your efforts.

DMSO is really quite mild compared to Neem oil. I don't know what percentage of Neem is in the body wash you are using, but to be honest, straight Neem oil is about the vilest stuff I have ever smelled.

You can get DMSO from any farm or ranch store....in the equine section. The kind used here is liquid.
I have been following this regimine for 10 weeks and I can say that the situation is much better (I can sleep at night) it is not a cure.

Anyone have experience with diatomaceous earth as natural insecticide for small bugs/dust mites? Pet-friendly.

I use the food grade diatomaceous earth on my dog and her bedding, I also give her 1 tbs. of the powder in milk along with several drops of H2o2. I've been doing this for about 1 1/2 yrs. Now, she is very healthy. Hope this information helps.

Re: Diatomaceous Earth for external parasites on animals

I've used D.E. for years (11 ), to get rid of fleas on our dogs & cats, & lice on our livestock. I sprinkle it right on the animals & rub/brush it in really well - & then also sprinkle it liberally around their "loafing areas". We sprinkle it around our entire house during "flea season" & it makes a huge difference in the flea population issues that you just can't avoid during certain weather & when you have a zillion animals like we do, LOL. It does take longer than the noxious chemicals, but it does work!

How long did you leave the spray on your body? Did you take a shower afterwards or just dry off with a towel or just let it soak in? I just tried it as well and I kept it on for just a couple minutes cause I didn't know how it would react on my body so then I rinsed off with hot water.

I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I also use D.E. as you do, or at least, I did; it took care of the problem.

I used D.E. and dry-rubbed it in. When using it on infections, rashes, etc., I have found that the wonderful, miraculous D.E. clings to areas where its needed, and falls off where its not. I do this first and then I hop in the shower.

(And don't worry, the D.E. doesn't ever attain the consistency of clay to clog your drains. Its too powdery for that.)

I do plan on buying, I think they're called "dry-scrub brushes" for dry rubbing before a shower, which I hear is good anyways. But for now, my hands do just fine.

Blessed healing to you.
