Joseph Alton M.D., aka Dr. Bones, wrote an article recently reviewing Athlete’s foot (and Jock itch), which provided some excellent tips for prevention and treatment options. I wanted to add some additional information with regard to general antifungal treatments focused on natural and herbal treatments that may be useful. In times of trouble, natural remedies may be our only option. You may also want to try a more natural approach to treatment because you prefer them! The list of external fungal infections includes forms of “tinea”, which is caused by the fungus Trihopytum and (although sometimes referred to as “ringworm”) is NOT a worm: 1. Tinea capitus- “ringworm” of the scalp or neck

A mylar blanket also known as a space blanket, or emergency blanket is a blanket used in emergency situations to reduce heat loss in a person's body in five different ways:convection,conduction,thermal radiation, water evaporation,conduction, and respiration. Mylar blankets where first created by NASA to protect Skylab from the intense heat of the sun. The insulating material, a strong, plastic, vacuum-metallized film with a highly-efficient, infrared-reflective, vapor-deposited coating of aluminum, was created to be very lightweight in order to minimize weight impact on vehicle payload while also protecting spacecraft, equipment, and personnel from the extreme temperature fluctuations of space. Resin oozing from a cut pine tree Common in most of the United States and Canada, pine trees also grow in other parts of the world, such as China. There are several varieties of pine trees which all will leach a sap when they have been damaged or scratched called resin, also called pitch. Pine resin has a host of different uses: as a sealant, glue, and varnish. There are as well several medicinal uses of pine resin. There is one chemical that is radeily available and inxpensive. From cleaning wounds to protecting plans this chemical has numerous uses. Hydrogen peroxide also known as H202 is the peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is made up of 2 hydrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms. H2O2 is a strong oxidizer and considered as a highly reactive oxygen species. Its strong oxidizing propeties make it useful as a bleach or cleaning agent. |
