Attack of the biofilm

[Pollyringworm]

I should be feeling a reduction in biofilm with the stuff im taking but the opposite is happening. I feel like a greased pig after a bath.


What do you guys use to disolve this crap? Its really getting on my nerves.

Miracle II soap. I don't sell it & I don't want to push it. It works for me & my 13 yo daughter. We've been using it for over 4 years now.

It's the only soap we use (4 shampoo too).

I use the pinesol in my bath along with lavaclean with benzoyl peroxide as a main ingredient.Ask for it at the pharmacist stand.

And be careful if you are sensitive to chemicals as far as using pinesol in the bath. In addition some (like me) are allergic to pine oil and benzyl peroxide. Not many perhaps, but just in case adding this info here (informed decision category).

I use mostly esp products

Since you appear to have continuous and long lasting serious lesions, do you really think that these very expensive products you mentioned are any more effective than say using that Grandma's lye soap Janice finds effective? I wonder about the effectiveness of these products in light of all the many, many pictures you continue to post here. It does not seem to me to be worth the extra expense. External skin treatment effects of any lasting effect are minimal at best anyway, so why not use less expensive treatments? Less expensive choices are sulfur soap and shampoos, the lye soap Janice mentions ot pool salt, baking soda, epsom salts and baking soda in the bath...all discussed here on many of the treatment posts.

The biofilm is so bad it's dripping off my face.

The fibers are longer, too.

Your fibers look identically to mine and the ooze too. I was like that when I first got sick it was coming out of every pore and my clothes were stained brown and all ruined this summer. Capsaicin cream is the only thing I have found that dissolves the glue like stuff over my sores and I have tried EVERYTHING even most suggestions off the Morgellons sites.

I agree with you. Using harsh soaps will do mor harm than good. Epsom salt baths work, neem soap is nice but stay away from pollution soaps.

I have never tried the lye soap but Janice found it helpful for her lesions. I think it has some other ingredients besides just the lye. It is also fragrance free. Thanks Janice for sharing your experiences with the soap in the past (other threads). Janice bought hers at ACE hardware and a reviewer below mentions that source too. I plan to get a bar of this to try. It's possible other local stores may carry this soap at an even cheaper price.

Some reviews of Grandma's lye soap by others as found on amazon:

My 9 yr old son and I both suffer with moderate to severe breakouts of eczema, and Granndma's Lye Soap has been our saving grace My husband stumbled upon this soap by shear coincidence in a neighberhood store near his job. I tried it, and I must say that I love it! So I searched for it on Amazon.com and found Remwood Products Co. I would recommend it to anyone who suffers w/the symptoms associated w/eczema and acne as well. It will also leave your skin w/that squeaky-cleanfeeling, yet soft and supple. Remwood Products Co. also has the best unit price on-line for this soap, so please place your orders w/them.

By sharonsharealike (Central MO) This is a great soap if you have sensitive skin. This sells in the store (ie: Westlakes Ace Hardware)for 3.99 each. No bargain here.

By Brenda Mitchell This review is from: Remwood Prod. 60018 Grandma's Lye Soap (Health and Beauty) Don't let the word LYE fool you. This soap leaves your skin so soft, you won't beleive it. I don't even use lotion anymore. Great product. Brenda

Great Soap, March 31, 2011 By Voetsch (USA)

This is a gentle, fragrance-free soap. It's perfect for people who are sensitive to scents, dyes, or chemicals. I have moderate acne and this soap helps me keep it under control. Using it is a little awkward at first, because it's a large bar, but your get used to it. Overall, I'd recommend this product.

I would buy this in the store though, if possible. It's over-priced here.
