Keeping the area scrubbed removes the fungal food source (the dead skin cells) and applying iodine to it can help. I usually dispense a Chlorhexiderm shampoo which you can also purchase at most pharmacies these days. Also keeping your immune system and that of your pet healthy with good high-quality foods helps immensely.
Skin disease tips: I believe the core cause of most skin diseases are: food or contact allergies, improper food combining and malabsorption/maldigestion, parasites, viruses, yeast and emotional distraught. Children internalize a lot of emotions and I was no different. At age four or five, I was once put into a strait jacket to control my self-mutilation which was causing secondary bacterial infections in my skin. The nurses were not happy with me.
This month’s newsletter focuses on nails, skin and connective tissue, urine therapy, Ringworm homeopathic and has a great recipe for Earth Cake.
Ringworm is actually a fungus and this fungus feeds off of dead skin cells, so if you bathe the area each day and remove the dead skin cells, over time it has nothing to feed on. The Chlorhexiderm helps to sterilize the area and the Tinea Aid is a homeopathic to fortify the immune system so the body will collect the fungus and remove it from the system.
