This article is called: The 10 Dirtiest Foods You're Eating www.menshealth.com/mhlists/foodborne_illness/Cold_Cuts.phpQuote from article: When you're ready to build your sandwich, slather on the mustard.
Researchers at Washington State University killed off 90 percent of three potent pathogens—Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella— within 2 hours of exposing them to a mustard compound.

Hi Toni
I wonder if that is why my husband did not get this. For years I have made him sandwiches with mustard. I try to keep up with mustard eating, but also had to add in Jalapenos. I buy the mixed vegetables pickled with Jalapenos. Yum yummy. Keeps the bugs from trying to go up the back door. So disgusting I hate typing that. Now if I could figure out how to keep them from going into my eyes because its harder for them to find landing spots while wearing a mustard lotion.
I have a question. I have tried different liquid soap for the mustard wash and have been getting buggier. More bite marks on the body too. When I use the mustard in a spray bottle it seems to go into the pores more and kills them and have no bite marks even when there is some bug activity. How in the world do you keep them off after the mustard soap and the mustard lotion? Maybe its because I have not been able to completely melt the 2 teaspoons of mustard. I have a 4 oz squirt bottle that I put the 2 tsp into with pure very hot tap water. I keep the water tank a bit high on the hot side. I shake ferociously and pore a little off the top into my 26 oz spray bottle add more very hot water and repeat steps till I think its all melted but find the UN-melted grains clogging my spray bottle. I am without a spray bottle for a few days now and working furiously at trying to find a soap combo that will get into the pores and kill them all like the spray does. Even if I use the same exact mixture in the spray bottle and hand wash with it it does not work as well.
I would love to have the mustard work with a soap like you use instead of having to add the rosemary oil, Cayenne, the tea tree oil, and witch hazel and Dr. Bronners peppermint soap. I use Fugisoap and it does a good job at killing the weak ones and stirring up the harder to kill ones. I need to try again tomorrow with the 2 teaspoon of mustard and see if I can get the two together will work. If I could stop using so much of the tinctures it would save me tons of money. To keep my head free I have to once a day use the Fugisoap on hair, fallowed by Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap with rosemary and tea tree oil added in, fallowed by a third washing of Sauve peppermint rosemary soap with mustard in it. Then on cycle nights of high bug activity I have to wear the lotion mixture all night in hair to try and keep them out which works most of the time. Nice it re-moistens my hair also by wearing it all night. So tomorrow no grand kids and I will wear the lotion in hair, but my clothes and bedding are full of mustard granules. It feels uncomfortable against the skin.
Do you get your mustard to completely melt? If so how? I am on month 2 of using the mustard and like how its working out and believe it will help pull the disease out of my body along with detoxing and rebuilding. I just need help working out the kinks. Thank you for the hand holding.

Hi Lynn, To have very well strained "mustard water" to start with, just put a coffee filter into a tall glass. Then rubber band the sides of the glass (with the coffee filter edges) being held down on the outside and around by rubber band. Then nuke some water, or boil it, and slowly pour it into that coffee filter (make sure the coffee filter is not touching the bottom of the glass) as you want the "mustard tea" to drip into the bottom of the glass. Then you'll have "the purer or strained" mustard "water or tea" to use in or with anything you want to mix it with. Hope that helps

I know a picture says a million words. This is how I do it Lynn to strain the dry mustard. Just make sure the bottom of the coffee filter doesn't touch the bottom of the glass, and this way, you get "mustard tea" - that's what I add to anything like (lotions) or (shampoo and body wash) to soap down with in the shower. And the "mustard tea" mixes with any lotion really well.

Hi Toni
Thank you so much for the quick response. I will to night start boiling a bit of filtered water into a stainless steel pan that has built in pour edges. Even different sizes on each side. Coolest pan I ever own and bought it to make my Essiac tea 4 times a day while detoxing.
Boy your post really got my brain turning and I realize something that may be important and wonder if others can recall familiar surroundings. Back at the other house while slowly coming down with this horrid disease. Everyone in the house went through lung problems. My eldest was moved out and married, the youngest took over a mobile home on the same lot. Inside the house the second eldest started having enough problems with light Asthma that he had to go temporarily on meds. That was the year my hubby lived on every kind of antibiotic the doctors threw at him and could not cure his bronchitis. I kept having fluid on the lungs and at times felt infection but never would come all the way down sick. Everyone in the house was really eating mustard like crazy daily except for me. Eventually we moved and the Asthma kid got well and no longer needed meds the hubby got well before we moved by my making him take 1000 mgs. of Ester-C with each meal. Then no longer had bouts and that was right before we moved. I was the one that kept slowly going down hill.
I almost think had they been stuck in that house longer and without mustard in their diet they would have gotten hit by this long term also. I still wonder what started it though. My home was very toxic there. Sewage, natural gas leak at the tune of 75 dollars a month, and molds growing on the walls on the inside of house (same side as sewage leakage. And rats living in the attic. Then me breathing it in bigger quantities due to my Bi-Pap equipment.
The landlord would spray the Almonds with a spray that smelled like starch that you spray on clothes to iron them stiff. It would make me so sick we would leave at day light and come home in the middle of the night so I would not get as ill.
Well enough contemplation and thanks again for your help. In Light Lynn/TorpedoLynn

You're welcome Lynn.
And you know...just me personally in thoughts here, but I don't think it was your living conditions, and here's why. Mine were not under the same circumstances as yours, yet I got Morgs too.
Something that you did remind me of though, and thank you. It's that I remember one night (like 8 ish years ago) before Morgellons, all of a sudden me and Mr T could hardly breathe. We sat at the table playing board games when that hit us.
There was no reason for it (the difficulty in breathing either). And no reason it hit us BOTH at the exact same time!!!! OMG, this is just now coming to me. TOTAL RECALL is happening, hahaa
As each half hour went by, I KNEW I was having more of a problem (breathing) like my lungs were "all of a sudden" tightening up!
I said to Mr T, I need Levaquin. Yep...that's what I yelled out, because I began to go into a panic (not panic attack) but a panic, because I KNEW something wasn't right, and it was getting worse by the minutes.
He called a doc friend, and met up with him 1 hr later, and he gave us both Levaquin (for 10 days duration) each.
After 3 days, we were both perfectly fine, but finished out the Levaquin.
Shortly after that "is when my pores on my face began to get weird, enlarged". I went for 2 years to every doc and surgeon to have "treatments" done to reduce them. I knew something wasn't right.
Well....it wasn't until 2005 I saw the black specks coming out of my face, then sinking back into the skin.
That's when I got on the internet and saw "everyone" talking about the same thing, and I was shocked (and that's when I first heard the term Morgellons).
After that, I applied hot wet compresses on my face, and then ALL this blackish brown stuff poured out of my face, and then all my pores went right back to normal.
Only problem is, that what didn't come out, is why I think I still have morgs.
I sure don't know "if that breathing thing that hit us" instantly that evening has or had anything to do with (something in the air) or what...but it was the beginning of Morgs showing itself in my life.

I make the mustard liquid and mix it with olive oil, neem and coconut oil. I walk around all day greasy with this on my body and hair. The black specks are pouring out of me. I see about 100 a day come out. Now I am also see larger brown things come out and white crystals. The mites still bug me just when I get to sleep so have to get up again and do the routine. So I guess the mustard draws out the mold or whatever these black specks are. Thanks Toni

Hi Ruthintoronto,
I'm glad that's helping get that junk out of your skin. Mustard has got so many great anti fungal and anti bacterial properties too, besides killing mites.
When I put it on my face, I have white soft like "things" that come right up out of it now.
What I've been doing too is, I'll put the "mustard tea" which is just dry mustard and water mixed together, then I mix that with some body lotion, and I slather that all over my face.
I leave that on for a little while, 1-3 hours, then I wash it off with soap, and let my skin "air dry" and then put nothing on it. It feels real taut without anything, but...
I wait about 15 min, then look in the mirror, and there's white little protrusions sticking out of my face all over, mostly my chin.
In fact earlier today, I got so many out. They stick out like little horns or something, and then they just wipe right off.
I'll upload the scope video of all the things that stuck right out of my chin that the mustard drew out.
I don't know what they are, but they're sticking out of my skin, and I know they shouldn't be in there, so I'm glad they're coming out without any major production to get them out.
I'm glad it's working for you too. I just keep trying different things with it topically.
Glad you came back Ruthintoronto, and I'm extra glad you're getting the stuff out of your skin.

Here's some of those "things" that were sticking out of my chin after I washed off the "mustard lotion" and then let my face air dry. After my skin was dry then I had all these like little salt granule things sticking out of my chin, and then I took my nail and just scratched on them, and they fell out. They were like 'half hanging out". Wonderful. tinypic.com/player.php?v=350pj5c&s=5

Hi Toni, I put the mustard juice all over my whole body and hair. I am hoping it is killing the mold or whatever the black specks are. I am sure this is why the mites are attracted to me - the black specks. The brown specks coming out are about 3 times the size of the black specks, yet just come through the skin with no problem.
Glad you are getting the crap out too. Ruth

Thanks Ruth. Wow, you really are getting them good. It's like it's non stop though. I don't know how we're going to get this stuff "out from our insides". That's the problem. And I sure agree, it does seem that way to me too, (that the critters smell us) and we smell delicious to them with all the fungi and bacteria secreting out of our skin daily. Did you happen to see that article about "feet"? hahaha what a thing. But, what I'm getting at is it said: The average person sweats at least 1 GALLON out of their feet per week. I'd neeeeever have known that, because it doesn't even seem possible. My feet are dry, or I thought they were anyways. But, the reason I bring that "fact" up is, I can only imagine over our entire skin area, we must really be secreting stuff that can attract insects from a mile away. But...we're just unaware of the smell of it, but not them.

Hi Toni
Did they spray for mosquito's and west Nile virus? Could that be the connection? That same year we moved in we came home one day. Like the third or fifth day and found a dead possum curled up in the flower bed right by the back door. All year we found dead birds by the house and out in the orchards. That also was the same year they sprayed the city and country side twice that year or within a year. Possible spring and fall sort of thing. It was after the spraying that the old dog that had been fed a steady diet of doughnuts started throwing up and bleeding diarrhea and always stank. So a combo of bad diet and the spraying and the dog could not handle it. I think the dog was 10 years old or younger.
I wonder how many others would know if they or family members along with them had breathing trouble. Before the mass of stuff coming out of skin it was just little bouts of debris coming out and I thought it was old age, soap granules, contaminated toilet paper. Start on the upper v of the rear end. Plumbers butt. lol. I am a cleaning fanatic and never had any debris or stuff come off me before even with the weight. But still I sloughed it off as weight and old age and after picking stuff off me I would wipe down all surfaces. In fact I was wiping off toilet surfaces back then because of debris left after using the seat. I notice back then and still to day that sometimes others will leave this same sort of debris and none of them use the same soaps as me. One person uses bar soap the other oil of olay liquid and me my organic soap. We have about 4 different soaps in that tiny shower. Three different shampoos and conditioners on top of all that.
I can remember having days where I felt there was not enough oxygen in the air and I would have to have a fan running to get the feel of oxygen or I would feel like gasping. It did not scare me but was very annoying and uncomfortable. Even when I did get bouts of feeling like worms were wiggling up the bottom and felt like spiders crawling across my hair and felt like fleas biting my ankles and even a few years later the little bit of squirming on the upper privates. I tried colon cleanse and did them wrong and the bugs back then were so low key that I did not even consider that anything abnormal was coming on. I kept making up my mind it was something I could take care of. All that slowly came on bit by bit over six years or more before the all over outbreak.
I did the mustard in the filter with boiled water in a filter over glass. The liquid was not very strong looking. 2 tsp of mustard with 1/4 c. boiled water. The mustard swelled up and looked almost like bread pudding. I stuck the pulp in my liquid FungiSoap and it did not really kill to many bugs. I put the liquid into my lotion and am getting a little activity. I probably got about 2 tsp of liquid after I filtered it. I hope I did the recipe right.
Will know more after I try to sleep. In Light Lynn

In Light Lynn Hi Lynn, I'm not sure if they did the spraying or not, but, I'm thinking it wasn't that (good idea though). It was in the early evening that happened. And it's horrible the nightmare you've been through Lynn. I know, it's beyond a nightmare, really it is. My dog had those granules too towards the end of her life. They were in her bed, and I'd wonder how "sand" even got in there, but now looking at that too, it sure makes me wonder how long this has really been lurking. And yes, I know what you mean about when we make the "mustard tea". There's only a little amount to work with, but that's what I've found to work really well with lotions, then there's no "pulp". Probably for spraying it on as you do, that would work well too. I use the "pulp and all though" when I'm showering, for the body and washing my hair, since it's all going to be washed out anyways. I like the "tea" only for when I'm going to be leaving it on.

Hi Toni
I did use the pulp last night in the soap and had a second stage bug make it through the shower routine. After putting on the lotion with the strained tea mustard it quieted down. I thought for sure I would have a bad night. I remember some biting on the legs when I first got into bed. May be the ones that made it through the shower. After that quieted down I slept real good. This morning I have a little bit of slow crawling up my face which I have to stop before the wiggle into the eyes. A worm stage. So I will experiment with amounts till I get a real good kill factor. Do you think making a tea out of 2 TB's would be asking for it. Then using that pulp in the liquid soap and shampoo would be okay? With the 2 tsp of pulp there was no fire on the skin at all. So I feel like I am still doing something wrong. Hey I did not use all my tinctures in my soap and had a fairly good night. I should make a vinegar spray to use first. Rinse and then use the mustard made products as a follow up. To much vinegar strips the skin. I did not realize that whole year with the closed crater leas ions on the insides of my legs were due to weaken skin. As soon as I backed off the vinegar and used the mustard the lesions went away in less the two weeks I think. Also sprayed the clothes with my Vinegar mixture with no pulp. Clothes feel a lot nicer.
It is so weird that the spray bottle I use on the clothes I can not use in shower. To turn the bottle on myself its structure hurts my hands. My 26 oz bottle has a long smooth neck and does not cause any kinks in holding it the wrong was to spray oneself. The spray head is hard to find and they keep changing it. I had to buy Wesleys wheel cleaner at Walley world and take their short straw off their spray head and put my extra long straw on the spray head. Well they change the inside design and you can not get the straw into the spot once you take their straw out. I have tried so many bottle types and ended up with cut, sore, even bleeding hands. Funny the use the same shape spray head in other colors and they see through colors do not stay or last long before falling apart. The solid colors last longer. I was buying the solid red for it lasted the longest and now that they changed the inside structure of the head I have to buy a black one to see if it has the same problem.
Well talk about shower. I need one before I go to a shower. Baby shower for my daughter in-law. Thanks for the help and feed back.

Hi Lynn, I think once the "pulp is strained through the hot water" it's sort of "used up" if you know what I mean. Like "tea bags"....once the water is run through, the tea isn't as "powerful after that". Like trying to make a second cup out of a tea bag, it's been drawn out already from the first use in water. The "umph" is released once the mustard is in water, so then the pulp is not as powerful. But, you know what? I really don't know. Maybe you can "rub some of the pulp" on your skin and I will too to see if it's got more "bang" or "heat". I don't really know for sure...as I'm only thinking of any spice, even a bay leaf. Once it's used, it doesn't contain the "umph" any more since it's "like bled" out, if you know what I mean. And 'happy shower day to you' and your daughter in law. That should help too, having a beautiful day today. You sure deserve and need a break.

"Clove is the champion of all, with an ORAC score over 10 million!! That means a drop of Clove Oil contains 400 times more antioxidants per unit volume than wolfberries, the most powerful of all known fruits, and a 15ml bottle of Clove Oil has the antioxidant capacity of 40 quarts of blueberries. The benefits of breathing, applying and taking clove essential oil internally are far greater than you can imagine."
It was this part that really interested me. We need all the antioxidants we can get. r
