Baking Soda and Lime for How Long?

Posted by A

Hello Ted and thank you for your response. Your recommendation has so far changed my life and I am very grateful. I have been using for my bad breath as advised baking soda + lime for a week now and the change is wonderful - thank you! I wanted to use the oil pulling remedy but I am not sure about the instructions and whether I can use it with the baking soda + lime remedy. Also, how long do I need to use each remedy? I also need more accurate instructions for treating my bad nail fungus as I am a little confused. Do I need to use the Iodine remedy as well as the ACV + Hydrogen Peroxide that I have been using so far? What is the best thing to use, How do I use it, at what quantity, When do I use it? Looking forward to your advice, MANY MANY THANKS

They should always be taken, but often it is 5 days out a week. I have been taking them myself on an off for maybe 30 years, but not much of a stickler on scheduling.

The body is always in a constant state of acidosis, primarily the most tasty foods are usually the most acid forming. Avoiding all the acid forming foods are not generally practical and you need a good big list of handbooks to tell you what and what not to eat. However a short version is just no white bread, no white sugar, no white salt, no cheese, ice cream, fried foods, and vegetable oils to fry foods (baked and boiled foods are o.k.).

Iodine is only optional, if the remedy posted is not working as well since fungus can get deep. Sometimes iodine added 50/50 DMSO solution is used to increase penetrating ability to go through the hard nails.

Iodine can be painted on the nail after the peroxide treatment. NO ACV is to be used. ONLY white distilled vinegar sold at your supermarket. ACV neutralizes hydrogen peroxide.

What is the best thing to use, How do I use it, at what quantity, When do I use it?

Iodine (commonly called povidone iodine or Lugol's solution is o.k.) sold in drug store is painted (with a brush or cotton balls) on the nail maybe twice a day, after the application of white DISTILLED VINEGAR 50/50 in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. When adding 50/50, the solution becomes about 1.5% concentration. You may add a some borax until it no longer dissolves itself into the solution to increase antifungal strength. Put a toe and soak in a small cup long enough but not too long that it stings to the toe, then rinse. Followed that by iodine painting. Then the other protocol such as clorox bleach cleansing are optional. Tea tree oil can also be applied thereafter.

It should be noted that colorless iodine is generally easier to use since it doesn't cause staining. The problem about colorless iodine, which is made of sodium iodide and/or potassium iodide, is generally not sold in most drug store. As a result I had to make my own by buying them from a chemical supplier.

Fungus are generally difficult to kill with the possibility of a weak ammonia solutions or ammonium salts (ammonium bicarbonate), which are either difficult to handle or hard to obtain for most people.

I am still working on that problem, provided of course I or my friend is lucky enough to get a toe nail fungus for me to tests newer more effective remedy!
