Question
case of athlete's foot and its not between the toes , its on the inside of the heel , both feet . have been to several Doctors , one gave me a scrip for this goo , at $70 a tube , went thru two tubes , another Doctor said ice cold water and apple cider vinger , ok , so that seems to help , hard to tell when its O degrees outside , my feet sometimes might not itch for 12 hours or so . when I drive I wear thongs , try not to wear socks unless i have to deal with John (Jane) Q. Public . Have been thinking of looking for some one other than main stream Doctor ( herbalist , naturalopath ) will try just about anything as scratching feels about as good as sex .
Answer
You've started correctly by removing moisture as a medium for growth, another facet I have encountered is changing the PH level. So for a cheap try, take oak leaves and crunch 'em up and make a foot bath, this is a long process but it adds another layer of drying. What we did is take an old oak stump and carve out a bowl and soak our feet twice a day. For me it took about 30 days, for my brother it took about sixty. The tannins in the oak leaves left the feet very leathery and darkenend in color, but it did "dry up" the rash. I also "doused" my shoes in baking powder to soak up any moisture, the object is to "starve" the fungus and discontinue the growth.
Another try is to soak in alchohol, kills just about anything, thats why we use it as a mouthwash!
Now, you should make sure if this is ok with your Dr. as he writes the prescriptions for $70.00.!!!

thanks for the ad-vice , King Fa , lets see I have 6 apple trees , 1 apricot , 1 peach , 1 walnut , 1 cherry , 1 pear and 4 pine trees , one of my neighbors has an Oak tree I only need the bottom 12in. slice . I would try boiling oil if I thought it would work ( someone else would have to go first ) maybe its something I'am allergic to , sure hope its not garlic or hot peppers or chocolate .

Hi Sailor Man hopefully you have cured your footproblem but just incase you havent all my health books recomend using GARLIC yes I said garlic. go to any health food store ordrug store and buy some capsel take them home and poke ahole and rub it all over the infected area your thinking is this guy nuts Ihave used this cure and it works just be careful if you have a dog it might want to lick your feet ( of course disinfect your shoes and socks or the problem will just come back. yes there is a chance you might smell like a deli but its worth it to get rid of this problem A/F is a funges and garlic is one of the best funges fighters around.
hope this is of some help
Wayno.

Sailor-Man,
Many years ago my brother came home with Athletes foot and my father made him soak his feet in Clorox bleach. To this day, forty odd years later, he has never had athletes foot again. Worked for him, might for you. The mixture is a 60%water and 40% Clorox. Hope this helps.

All else has failed.
But remember one important factor! Get rid of your old shoes. The fungus is there and everytime you put them back on....Guess what? It starts all over again.
Keeping you safe, healthy and on the road.
