Bleach on the other hand has lead to a friend of mine being treated
for several types of cancer at a very young age. Her mom used to put
a tablespoon of bleach in her bath water every day. Not even 30 y/o
and she’s had thyroid cancer, uterine cancer, and one I can’t
remember. It’s really NOT a good idea for long term health. Just
food for thought.

In reading about the condition, I came across the following suggestion.
I have not tried any of these things yet.

"Soak in potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes twice a day
until the blisters dry up. Aluminium Chloride (DriSol), Aluminium
Acetate or vinegar soaks are also useful. These dry up blisters, but
are not suitable for dry eczema. "

Known Chlorine Dangers:

* Chlorine combines with natural organic matter decaying vegetation
to form potent cancer causing trihalomethanes (THM’s)

* Collectively include such carcinogens as chloroforms, bromoforms
carbon tectachloride, bischlorothane and other cancer causing agents

* Causes atherosclerosis, stroke and heart attack

* Causes skin to prematurely age

* Damages the human eye

* Causes bladder, breast, testicular, bladder, colon, or rectal and
bowel cancer as well as malignant melanoma

* Damages lung tissue

* Causes acne, psoriasis, seborrhea and eczema

* Converts to dioxins - the most dangers of cancer causing chemicals
and which build up permanently within a person’s body
causes infertility and birth defects

* Damages the nervous system permanently

"Chlorine is so dangerous" according to PhD biologist/chemist Dr.
Herbert Schwartz," that it should be banned. Putting chlorine in
water is like starting a time bomb. Cancer, heart trouble, premature
senility, both mental and physical are conditions attributable to
chlorine treated water supplies. It is making us grow old before our
time by producing symptoms of ageing such as hardening of the arteries."

Dr. Stephen Askin wrote: "The real issue is not just how toxic
chlorine itself is but how the unintended by-products of chlorine
(organochlorines and dioxins) remain in the environment. They are
persistent in the environment; they do not break down readily and
therefore bio-accumulate. This can create a very serious health
problem; the dioxins and other toxic chemicals accumulate in the
fatty tissues. These contaminants are also hormone disrupters because
they mimic estrogen. The EPA has observed and documented hormonal
imbalance, suppressed immune systems, reproductive infertility and
alterations in fetal development of animals. In viewing the big
picture, these factors are perhaps the most frightening results from
the widespread use of chlorine."

In Super Nutrition for Healthy Hearts Dr Richard Passwater shows how
"the origin of heart disease is akin to the origin of cancer"
Chlorination could very well be a key factor linking these two major
diseases. Chlorine creates THM’s and haloforms. These potent chemical
pollutants can trigger the production of excess free radicals in our
bodies. Free radicals cause cell damage. Excess free radicals can
cause normal smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall to go haywire,
to mutate. The fibrous plaque consequently formed is essentially a
benign tumor. Unfortunately, this tumor is linked with the origin of
heart disease."

Myth:
Chlorine and liquid bleach are one in the same.

Fact:
Actually they aren’t. The term "chlorine bleach" is actually a
misnomer. What’s in the bottle is sodium hypochlorite, the active
ingredient in liquid bleach. Although chlorine is used to manufacture
sodium hypochlorite, there is no free chlorine in bleach.

My douther has severe eczema, it was all over her body and scalp, hands
feet(were the worst)…when we went to an allergist she recomends us a diet,
supplements, lotion to use, she also say to put little of bleach in the tub,
used for a week and then as need it,she say it helps with the staff bactiria the
reddness, she say some times, the body become allergic, so we did it vey little
in the hole tub,, for 3 days,, some how she improve the diet help a tot
too…….now we do not use it, but we use an antibacterial soup, it seem to be
working….

Again, I’m not suggesting anyone else use bleach, especially not long
term, I’m just not seeing that tea tree oil is likely to be any
safer for long term use.

BTW, my hand looks and feels great today. I’m keeping the skin
mosterized, wearing nitril gloves while washing dishes, I’ve also
been taking fish oil, B & C vitamins, and coconut oil for about a
month, eating less carbs and milk. Today the skin could pass for
normal from a few feet away. Looking closely there’s still signs of
slight puffiness and strange texture, but it’s not even red today.

I’m leaning towards the idea that the bleach did kill off some type
of fungus, but that’s just a guess, it could be just the dietary
changes finally kicking in.

Not only is it natural but it is rated 7 times more soothing than
aloe and it is very penetrating which for my boy is a good thing. He
has that thick skin eczema and it helps soften those areas.

Bleach is caustic. Please do not use it on your skin, it will burn
you. (that is the mom in me talking!)

It’s natural and it’s also used in a lot skin care products - has strong
anti-bacterial properties.
Something to maybe look at if you’re interested.

Tea Trea Oil? I read a tiny biy about it, it’s toxic if ingested. It
sounds like it would be nearly as toxic as bleach.
