Psoriasis - Bleach Bath - BY NICOLE
I wanted to share a way of treating Psoriasis. My husband has had it for at least 20 years, longer than we have been married, so I have never seen him without it. He has it on his legs (from the knees to the ankles), scalp, lower back, chest and arms.

We have tried a ton of stuff, like vinegar soaked wash clothes wrapped around his legs, creams and powders. He has even tried drinking Kafir to clean out his body. Finally, we heard about a Bleach Bath. Yes,
that is right...a bleach bath with regular Clorox (has to be Clorox) no perfumes, extra thick etc. Just regular bleach. What he is doing is taking 1/4 cup bleach and adding it to his bath water. Once done in the bath, he rinses off with clean water. He does this every other day.

IT IS AMAZING!!!! He has been doing this for less than 2 weeks and it is 95% gone!!! If you are wondering about a smell lingering on you, forget it...he doesn't smell. Try it!!!
Help for Diarrhea - BY CYNTHIA LEWIS

Diarrhea is often caused by viruses, parasites and bacteria. Diarrhea can lead your body to dehydration and can be a serious condition if it is left untreated. See your doctor if the diarrhea persists more than a few days and make sure you drink plenty of water to keep your system hydrated.

Babies and children should be treated with caution, if they have chronic diarrhea, its best to bring them to see a physician as quickly as possible. You can also give them some Pedialyte to restore the electrolytes in their body.

Here are a few natural remedies to stop you from running to the toilet every few minutes:

1. Eat 1/2 cup plain or blueberry yogurt. (for adults and children not babies.)

2. Drink 8 ounces water with 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir and drink.

3. Eat 1/2 a cup of blueberries. (blueberries kills bacteria.)

4. Cinnamon Ginger tea: 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Stir into boiled milk. Allow to cool to lukewarm then drink. Can make this tea three times a day.

5. Eat a banana. (contains potassium which replenishes the electrolytes.)

6. For adults only. Drink a sports drink like Gatorade, it will help to balance out your electrolytes. (sodium and potassium.) Do not use this remedy if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease.

7. Have a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

8. Eat some carrots (3 raw, grated) or eat some starchy foods like potatoes or rice.

9. Eat a bowl of cereal.

10. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds with 8 ounces water, drink up to three times a day.

11. Drink carbonated water.

12. Eat a medium size grated peeled apple. (bulks up watery stool.) or a 1/2 cup of applesauce with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

13. Treat diarrhea with the BRATT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, tea.

14. Drink a cup of blackberry tea. (drink up to 4 cups a day.)

15. Stay away from coffee, apples juice, alcohol (dehydrating), milk, natural sweeteners such as Sorbital, spicy and fried foods until the symptoms clear up.

Eczema or Fungus on Humans or Pets - BY RSANDNLACE

I went back to an old remedy my mother used on me as a child. We lived way out in the swampy woods of SW Florida, and since I was always barefoot, I would get ground itch on my feet.

My mother would fill a tub with hot water, and add powdered Tide laundry soap, just enough to make a tub full of bubbles for me, and add 2 capfuls, (the cap of the bleach bottle), not cup, of Clorox bleach. Never burned at all, but that bath took care of ground itch, rash of eczema, any kind of skin or nail fungus, without leaving a smell.

It's also good to add a cap of bleach, or even just a few drops, to a pets bath water, helps greatly to give pets relief from itchy, smelly skin infections. Again I stress it is CAP full, NOT cup! And don't get into eyes.
