Hi all,
I was actually looking to post over on the LS group on Yahoo, but forgot which group I had been writing to.
I decided since I was here I would share with you all what I have found that actually works to get that dang LS to be practically gone.
My theory was that this crap is a fungus that, due to low hormone levels, has found a way to live under the skin, so any topical 'solution' doesn't seem to work. I was having fairly good luck using a mix of Colloidal Silver (whamodyne on fungus), tea tree oil, emu oil and a touch of lavender oil.
But it would only take it down so far. So I got to thinking. What gets under the skin?
I was researching hydrogen peroxide which I tried but it didn't help; seemed to kill too many of the friendly bacteria and allowed the LS to spread more over time. What I did get reminded of after running across a reference to it was DMSO. It penetrated the skin easily (is really good for arthrisis I have heard) and it got me to thinking.
What if I mixed Colloidal Silver with the DMSO and got the silver into the skin where it could help??
Took me a while to get comfortable with the idea of DMSO, being as it is a by product of the processing of wood pulp and possibly more contaminating than helpful. But I did some more research, read a lot of people saying how helpful it was, didn't read of any cautions while using it (I still try to drink extra water though, just in case) and so decided to give the mix a try.
Well, I can safely say that when I use the mix twice a day, I forget I even have LS. I do think though, unless you do something more to actually get rid of fungus in your system like go on a Sugar free diet or some such unimaginable thing :), there will always be a tiny bit of it hanging around. So it will flare up again if I go without putting the mix on for more than 2 days, but at this point after about 6 months of using the mix, I can go every other day with only one application.
I make my own silver so I can bump up the ppm to around 25, but I am guessing it will work with the average available stuff too. I just have always used Colloidal Silver and so found it well worth the savings to buy my own maker. You can get a good one for around 150 bucks from my favorite site,

So here is my 'recipe': 1 tablespoon DMSO, 1 full eyedropper of colloidal silver (maybe do 1 1/2 if you are using less strong silver) and about 10 drops of tea tree oil. Apply it liberally on the freshly washed affected areas and let it soak in for 2 or 3 minutes before getting dressed. That's it. I was pretty well free of it after about 3 months, although I did have to shave some hair so the liquid could soak into the skin and not get lost in the hair. :)
I got the DMSO at DMSO.com for about 8 bucks and got the tea tree oil from my local super supplements. I did try the gel at first but it doesn't seem to get in and do the job as well.
Anyway, if you have questions just email me. I am happy to share this because I hate to think of anyone suffering unnecessarily!
