Jewelry, etc.

Since I became symptomatic a year ago, I've been afraid to wear jewelry or use rosaries. Figured they're morg-traps. Is there any way to reliably clean them after wear / use? They're alloy metals, not gold or silver, so I don't thinK H202 is an option.

or Ecovie, Bug Arrest, Out! International, Lice-a-dex, or any good home-made enzyme recipe.
I have heated items to 180 degrees in a pan or pyrex dish in my oven. Be careful though. This last idea has not been the safest treatment and I would try the other methods first.

Xiblanque, how do you make a home-made enzyme treatment?

This great post by Hurtin1 has some excellent links to some recipes for making homemade enzymes. The only drawback is the length of time it takes for these to ferment.

Think extravagant lemonade recipe and that is very close to the actual process. I have made some of the citrus based ones (filtered water, lemons, limes, oranges, herbs and sugar or honey) and currently I am making a papaya/pineapple/herbs and honey based one. They can cost just a fraction of the commercially bought ones and once you've made one batch you will be a professional.

Papaya / pineapple / honey??? Add a little rum and you've got a Jamaican drink! At least it could be fun making the stuff!

'At's right. Get the little mosters sloshed and they'll be nice and quiet...

Oops. Are we off-topic...AGAIN?? Imagine that on this forum...

I have seen them on Jewelery I had stored and not worn for the last year.
It took a jewelery loop too see though.
I really don't wear it anymore. What about just a mild dish soap rinsed with distilled water? Anything too strong might discolor anything not silver or gold.

as far as the rosarie, if its like a leather, or plastic ( im not catholic, but rosary beads ive seen are on a plastic chain thing.i could be wrong.but i know people love their rosarys, you can hang it over your bed maybe? put in a coin purse type thing in your pocket? ) now any jewlery thats got mixed metals has always made me break out, its hard to tell with a mixed metal.you cant clean them if your alergic. 14kt gold i can wear..

I don't wear any costume jewelry... my old rings, necklaces and ear rings are either silver or gold. I wear leather & hemp jewelry with beads too... I have never noticed the "M" in my jewelry, or any negative affects of "M" from jewelry.

We have discussed acidity and "M" & I am just thinking here, but maybe your body is a little acidic and is breaking down the coatings on the costume jewelry?

In the white light,
