Hi guys,

I've been using the soda crystals (washing soda) in my baths for 6 weeks, once a day.

Its helped all of me, including my eyes, sinuses and even digestion.

And i've had no adverse side effects, apart from headaches in morged areas of my scalp for the first few weeks.

I've read around to see what might be happening.

I first thought of trying the soda (sodium carbonate) because its one of the only natural chemicals that keeps drains free of flys - their eggs, larvae etc. and I know i've got myiasis.

I reported that large amounts of white scum appeared in the bottom of the bath after soaking and massaging skin, also that afterwards my hands smelt of burnt plastic.

I think the scum and smell is the bio-polymer, Chitin.

Fly larvae is made up of 40% chitin, in their skins and midgut.

Scientists have established a number of ways to remove chitin from fly larvae. One of the methods is using Sodium Carbonate - washing soda.

If anyone feels like giving it a go...then please report back obs. Carls, maybe you could look out for any more changes to ya and report in?
