Ok..what's Wombat's cream..very curious. I may want some too:) You might let your friend know she can have her mother mix some drops of Iodine into some oil like coconut, almond, sunflower, etc..and then paint it on. Or about about ingesting the stuff? That would work from inside out.
If your friend keeps fear that a Dr. put her in, that is her decision, you can't do too much about it until she's fed up with the ovarian cysts and ready to drop the fear and go with her instincts.
You are an inspiration in people's lives, don't worry about that..it is a good thing!
