I tried the mix too. It was so much nicer than spreading a layer of lotion mixed with lots of tea tree oil all over, and then covering my skin with powder to dry it so I could sleep without horrible itching and the feeling that tiny critters were boring into my skin. My skin felt good. I slept fine. I used a very moderate amount of each ingredient, lower than advised, I think. I make neem tea, from the leaves--boiling them for a while and then taking out he leaves. I used this in the mix. I hate the smelly neem oil, and it never did any good, anyway. But the neem tea is very effective. (You can get the leaves at Neemaura.com.)
I am going to use it again and use more DMSO. I'm afraid of the stuff. I used the 90% a few times, as advised by Ralph-O on the other board. It made my skin shrivvel and I lost all feeling in my fingertips.
This is the first time I have felt at all optimistic about a treatment method. So tired of reading posts with people trying to figure out what this is. I just want to kill it. This mix has merit. I have tried to find the perborate as well, Magnolia. Will let you know if I do. And Chem, thanks for your input. I was scared to try this and your posts gave me more confidence.
The sad thing is, this mix does not keep the critters off the skin. I am again reinfected from my environment. I wish I could kill the buggers in my house. But to all the wonderful suffering people, I think you should try the DMSO borax peroxide and neem. It's beter than anything I've tried before. Pam
I second this Pam. I got very bold and made a bath of this stuff. Cleaned my tub with a box of baking soda and a whole bottle of white vinegar first. Well well well.....This is really doing some good. I live in NY and they have neem powder for 1.99 a box and that works excellent. I'm going to keep going with this.
I added a half a cup of DMSO ,1 cup of borax and 2 cups of hydrogen peroxide and about 4 TBLspoons of neem powder , a box of baking soda and a quarter cup of yeast.
It didn't burn and it felt so very good.
Also Pam try giving the house a good cleaning with the solution minus the dmso.
I have alot of dead stuff falling out AND a BIG reduction in fibers. This may be a missing peice of my puzzle.
P.S. I have been doing the rubdown every other night.
and the soaking on alternate nights.
Don't know if my methods are safe...I do know I feel better.
