Hi: I shall have to re-think this out. I do not know if its toxins or acidity alone that causes the irritation from zapping, but it may well be, so I will try as you suggest alkalise these areas before zapping by applying aloe or coconut oil to see how this works out. There's a alkaline supplement which comes in drops, I may have to get this as well as increasing more vegetables/fruit in my diet. I take BIoforce kidney, liver herbal extracts and others. Thanks ....
