11/29/2009 5:39:16 AM | I have been sleeping on this plastic chaise lounge chair for several months now. I got a drill which I was able to attach a brush to the end of(H0me Depot) and I can clean all the nnks and cranies underneath. Up in Canada we have...you may have it to.. a Janitor's warehouse store where a friend recommended Hydrogen peroxide cleaner. I use the 7% and dilute it about 50/50..depends. You can put it in a squirt bottle(theirs are far better than others) or a chapman garden sprayer. Then I swifer mop it after a few minutes...the bed area I mean but I also do the bathroom and kitchen too. best to re do the bed area before going to sleep. My friend used the steamer with great sucess with bleach in it...he knew how to clean the machine out. I wasn't as sucessful. Watch for mold if the humidity is high. The dehumidifier and air cleaner have been my main aids along with the mop and those blue strong wipe towels(for garages...but they hold up to the cleaner) I'm also using 1 sheet...same way but I do have a heating pad underneath. Canada is cold. i have a lttle oil heater in case I need it near the bed. I have been freezing things but it doesn't kill the fungi. cool weather slows down the mites and bacteria however. My friend used a hot dryer with good results but my dryers have not been hot enough. I got rid of the coembola by picking them out after each laundry and watching carefully and getting them whenever I saw one...it was a lt of worrk but I was glad to see them go. The fungal gnats too longer. i try to remember to put the plugs in the drains as I heard they breed in there. I forgot today and there were critters in the tub, ugh. No sweets...a hard one...I drank some chocolate soya milk last night...not good. It must be hard with kids. I'm trying to par things down to a few outfits I like and just rewash...so far it hasn't helped...well you can't leave laundry even in a bag for too long..the hairs(look like lint)...if you roller the clothes double in length after a couple of days. Then these balls with hairs growing out of them form...I don't touch them...use rubber cloves or a paper towel to throw them away...garbage... can with a lid or toilet. I tried a fogger too..not the miraculous results I expected. My friend said because of the adaption factor you have to change you strategies outside and inside the body..if doing anti parasiticals for the nematodes, anti biotics for the bacteria and anti fungals for the fungus or mold. The protocol handles most of that. i think the testing could be very good to target specific organisms. I found the fungus to be the most stubborn..well it all is really. You can think one aspect is gone and it comes back. The worms take a lot of energy and i found I need more protein. For you , the kids won't like it but Golden Seal(!tsp) mixed in some water really helps me. I tastes strong but I don't think the critters like it at all. Herbalsits carry it but it's an expensive one...lasts long though. That;s my failsafe when I ate something I shouldn't have...but on the chololate milk night I forgot....there is a time lag before you realize yikes. One mom said olive oil with salt in it helped her baby. Someone told me to spray salt water on the skin after oiling. I'm using himalayan salt...you don't need much for a spray bottle. my afvorite oil is coconut and cocao butter...it smells great and...you have to mix it a bit...but it balances out...the hard cocoa and runny coconut become a nice consitency. I'm staring to use vinegar more....mostly on the skin, hair...but a little in some water too. It's a long a long hard road...and anything not easily washable is not my friend...no down, leather, all the fancy stuff. Surprisingly silk works well and the newer stuff washes well. I don't have much of it...but I notice the critters don't like it. Also the older textiles seem to be better that the new stuff(GMO?) so second hand stores look better than they used to to me. I've tried various washiing methods from mms soaking to borax pinsol and vinegar...still not getting the results I want. will keep trying. Good luck my heart goes out to you...I can barely cope with just me...so all the best to you and your family. Sincerely, Sherry Taylor |
