Theres some good tips.

i wrote her and told her about brewers yeast
same as i told your wife SCOTT..

THEN your skin excrete's vitamin b1

and the mosquitos will hover over you but won't land....

i've watched people standing right next to me get

swarmed and they leave me completely alone.

it makes poison ivy rash disapear as good as steroids.

Raven -

Do you run the brewer's yeast on the rash or take it internally or both? What's the process?

brewers yeast is so loaded with b -vitamins it heals your skin in double time...

it can bloat you so you have to ease into using it...
(not to be confused with bakers yeast)
theres two types of nutritional yeast: flake and powder

the flake is like the consistancy of fish food flakes for aquarium fish
and you mix the brewers yeast flakes into milk and they disolve rapidly
and make the milk taste great like whole milk from vermont daries.

the powder is typically more expensive... but works well

i use like a heavy teaspoon in pineapple yogurt and they compliment each other well

or i'll make a regular milk shake with milk and ice cream and add a tablespoon or two
to the blender picture if i want a stronger dose.

professor allen wrote me back saying:

Dear Craig,
I haven't seen the article in the Wall Street Journal but I am assuming your
note is in response to that. I have never heard of the yeast treatment. Sounds
very interesting and probably safer than the oral steroids often used. One of
my first "bad" cases was with poison oak also after a picnic at Pt. Lobos south
of Monterey... beautiful setting, terrible poison oak. I was given the nick-name
of "poison Patty".
Well, even with all my knowledge on this awful plant I still do get it but not
as bad.
I will remember your yeast treatment in the future. We do have a swimming pool
but use the bromine instead of chlorine. Swimming does help dry the weepy
lesions.
Thanks for your comments.

my wife used the oatmeal bath and it helped

on the beach was chock full of it...
and as a teenager i always had it...

swimming in the ocean helps alot...

mostly from the salt ...so i would take a dip
and then get dry
take a dip and get dry
over and over ...

if you have the time to do that... of course

How many drinks are required per day for skin healing and also how many to keep the mosquitos away.

how often do you drink a glass of milk each day...?

you have to get your body used to it at first...is all

i just made a pistachio icecream milkshake because
i did get some poison ivy on my leg
this past week

... and i added a whole tablespoon to the blender :btu:
