Why thank you so much Maria !
You know i hate to admit, but ages ago I found at same Trader Joes chain - some little sockettes with
an herbal salve to put on for just this problem.
They sat and sat and sat and sat around !
Finally the 2 sockettes got separated and that was the end of that ! For I hate the thought of wearing socks
ANY time, day or nitetime !
I am so worried, too, about damaging my nice real silk pillowcase that I use to put my feet on at night.
Even a dab of any sort of oil gets in and won't wash out.
I KNOW the system works but I guess I have been literally dragging my feet on figuring out some way around
the dreaded socks ! I just despise them, maybe because they stifle air from moving around freely.
I think you and hubby are really onto a good thing with the wiping of feet before sleep.
I want to make a couple of suggestions, but first just to say that we all have to realize that
at night, bacteria take this chance to multiply very fast. So one has to anticipate that and knock 'em out right away
BEFORE sleep - So your idea is a really good one.
Here's what I think:
Before sleep to do specific little applications, which only takes a few minutes but can save a life. I mean literally.
MRSA is rampant, yet no one will talk about it in public !
This is a really virulent strain which resists antibiotics. The only treatment is : essential oils.
I was rereading the only book so far on this topic last night. There is a special blend of Thyme which is soft enough
to use directly on the skin. I was going to look for a good supplier of it some time today, but haven't yet.
It's called : Benchmark Thyme, created by Maggie Tisserand, author of the famous "Aromatherapy for Women"
and former wife - eek, another of those bad situations, maybe an affair of his broke them up ? - of world-famous expert, Robert Tisserand.
So one can apply this which is more powerful than Tea Tree or Lavender for fighting these heavy and resistant viruses,
to any place where bacteria could "fester" overnight. Such as ears, nostrils [way back], any broken skin, cuts, scrapes,
and probably the bottom of the feet too like you are doing already -
If one does this every day especially before meetings, or worse, visits to hospitals, clinics, doctors, dentists,
lawyers, anything !, one will NOT pick up the MRSA strains or anything else.
Then at night, to put on after bath the same way, would keep one safe.
Otherwise there could be mass epidemics. Why? Because it's way out of control but no one but
Maggie Tisserand has investigated and exposed the extent of the problem. It's more dire in the UK,
but bad here too.
A workman here the other day said that his boss's father had died from MRSA [pronounced in the US "Mersa"]
because that father went to a veterans home, picked this up and died.
It's a painful way to die and could be easily prevented were the medical associations not so opposed to
natural methods of counteracting illness.
MRSA has come about due to the overuse of antibiotics. Actually the first resistance, to penicillin, started already in the 1950s
but how often does one hear of this phenomenon? I will check the date, but I am pretty sure it was around that time.
In my opinion, this serious problem has been completely shoved under the carpet because if Americans and other
Western nations realized,
who in their right mind would go for any operation ? Or to any doctor ?
The problem is that hygiene is horrible in most hospitals, and even the doctor will take a reading or breath on the patient
without any mask or anything, so he or she transmits MRSA to people supposedly being cured from something else entirely !
These things live for a long time, too. Not like ordinary germs.
So if people you know were visiting a doctor recently, get out your Benchmark Thyme or other essential oils to shield yourself !
Maggie Tisserand writes in her 2012 book that washing hands can work a little, but not really very well, to get rid of these
persistent bacteria / viruses.
And about the hand sanitizer! Yes, that always seemed noxious to me. I never used it.
I always use either tea tree oil, or perhaps spray actual perfume on my hands after for example using a computer
at a public library. I get some strange looks, but, well, it's worth it to get rid of anything immediately !
