Hi Frito!
Last night was my 12th application. The skin continues to improve. I still have spots (some still large) in the problematic areas - arms, legs, stomach and back.. but spots are less red/more pinkish and many are diminishing over time. I am still pulling debris out of the skin.. the black specks, threads, etc, but they are not bothering me as much as before.
Frito - the "orange peel" skin that you speak of - this is probably what is called keratosis pilaris. The demodex mite has been suspected to cause this problem... and guess what this mite's exoskeleton is made of??? CHITIN!
My KP seems to also be getting better as well..

Hi Gigi!!! I am familiar with the Demeodex mites dearie and this is not them. Demodex is actually more associated with Roseaca than KP. The orange peel skin I was referring to is thickened, swollen, bumpy, oily type of skin where the pores where enlarged. We did at one time have birdmites, well, actually according to our vet, we had several types of "actual real bugs" at one time. Fungus or KP just don't leave bulls eye and EM rashes. If there were any left on our bodies, I was also thinking this could be dual in purpose.  Update: Had some areas in which were depigmented and been "healed" for some time, in which are starting to break down. By break down I am meaning redden, itch like hell, and slough off in layers. The mash I described in another post. Fermenting the mash is supposed to generate more enzymes. In my case it was powerful enough to slough off a layer on some of my depigmented areas after two rub ins. The skin just rolled up. Still trecking.... Frito |

Frito -
I'm going to try letting the blend sit for awhile before straining it. I think last time, I didn't let it soak the whole 4 hours either, and the results weren't as impressive.
Have you tried fermenting it? How would you do that?
I must say... the last few days has been trying. I have not been feeling well and have had a lot more "activity" on the skin...
thanks.

ok. major complication here. I got my mineral and toxicity tests back and most everything was ok.. .with the exception of nickel. My nickel levels are so high, they couldn't be measured by the lab. Nickel may be partially the reason for some of my skin complaints (redness and rashes). Now, I read that barley has nickel in it... so I'm at a loss of what to do. I can't explain why my redness/rashes *seemed* to have improved after using the barley. ugh... I may have to give this treatment up for awhile and focus on some heavy metal detox...  |

Nickel?!! I am very allergic to nickel, so please cite the source for me please. I am sorry to hear of your tests.  Why do you think your nickel is off the charts? Barley, or absorbtion from something else? Are you suspecting anything? I know I have had to be very careful when using supplements and vitamins, as one of the ingredients is nickel. Won't knowingly touch it in products. This is probably your increase in activity. I just can't describe what good it seems to be doing my skin. Is all barley supposed to contain it, and how? Soil? Ugh.... What are you going to do now? Gigi, I am so sorry to hear of this. |

Frito - I did a hair test analysis, and the results came back. All other metals were fine.. but they couldn't measure the nickel - it was higher than the lab's highest range that it could measure supposedly. I work around metal and electronics and I kept getting random rashes after touching metal and I didn't know why... well.. I actually tested it out by rubbing a nickel coin on my skin (I read that nickel coins contain 25% nickel...).. and my skin rashed up. So.. I read that barley contained nickel and now I am not sure I should continue with it for now until I can chelate some of it out... I am figuring that this high nickel load may be partially responsible for my serious candida infection and partially why I got M in the first place. Then again, my skin is improving on it.. so I'm not sure what I should do  If it's doing you good and you are not having serious problems with it.. then maybe I'll continue....I'll have to decide. |

I am kinda confused as well, because my skin is undeniably improving in texture. I am or have had some scar areas in which were and have been healed, slough off this callous type skin. Arghh... I am wondering about the nickel thing. Here is some thinking on paper.
The one little pop up info link, it states that nickel is naturally found in some foods. We know it is in our consumer products. It said the body does use minute amounts of nickel for functions, including DNA, etc. So, if one were allergic to it, wouldn't really be a diagnosis per say, as the body naturally uses it. By your hair analysis, your nickel content is off the charts. Wonder where mine is? And I wonder in the presence of too much nickel in the body, hence an allergic type response by the body? I wonder if my "allergy" would improve, say if my levels were high and were brought down? Wonder about yours too? Also, just like iron or other metals, too high levels in the body cause serious problems, including the liver, of which the skin is then affected.
Also my response to this chitinase on my skin. From what I know of the skin healing and turnover, if someone had an established fungal infection on their skin, it would take weeks to months depending on how serious it was, to turnover the skin in which has been invaded. That turnover is part of the healing process in any skin infection. I don't and still don't believe, that a few applications of anything, including what I am trying, would be effective and that exposure again, over time is what will work with this. I had an established fungal skin condition, and have been fighting it like hell for two years. I am having a positive response and areas in which I have fought so hard so long, are rolling up and coming off despite what I have used previously and despite the immense progress achieved in that regard. Just my thoughts for anyone else doing this.
I am and will keep an ever watchful eye on this. Perhaps this is just another step in my battle of this fungus from hell. It has been my experience in the past that things stop working after a period, so we shall see. Thanks for the information. Let us know what you decide, we are thinking of you regardless and hope you find some relief.

Frito - One symptom of nickel toxicity I read, is contact dermatitis. I've been working around this stuff a long time, and I recently just started having issues with rashes. I believe it to be related to the high load in my body. I'm expecting my rash issues will resolve as my levels drop, but this is just what I guess... We will see. If you haven't done so.. get a toxicity and mineral screen done. It is not that expensive considering how long the test results take to come back and how many different things they test for. I have severe candida and my progress has certainly tapered off recently. Having a load of metals would do this. There is a connection between candida and heavy metals, and likely a connection with other types of fungus as well. I also understand a connection to parasites as well! If you turn up high in metals, I think once you chelate them, you will have an easier time getting rid of the stubborn fungus. please have it done! I believe there is a connection with the metal load, fungus/candida and M - at least for me. My arm hairs stick straight out.. like I'm full of static electricity.... well, nickel is supposed to be magnetic... Given that you said you were allergic to nickel and have used the barley with success... I will continue to try using it. I have a batch mixing up right now My last batch wasn't soaked for as long so I feel it wasn't that effective. and in the meantime, I'm going to have to work hard at figuring out how to minimize my exposure to nickel while I chelate and detox it out... |

Just want to say good luck to both of you... but you might want to find someone else you can trust who's doing this barley thing and see what they have to say as well. Hope your nickel levels go down gigi... keep us updated ok?
love ya's ~~ bannanny

Hi Bannanny! How are you feeling?
I decided to move forward with the barley treatment. I did my 14th one last night. If there was a high nickel content in the paste, I would expect my skin to light up in more places.. but its only lighting up in the places that were lighting up before. My skin does not act with the barley like it does when I touch something metal (with nickel in it). Nothing much eventful last night.. no real bright red areas.. just pink areas .. I thought maybe I made a mistake by letting the mash sit for a few hours before straining.
This morning, I used the same solution and left it on longer than an hour (closer to one and a half to two). I did have a few bright red rashes break through.. mostly on my back... a few on the arm. One around the neck area.... My skin continues to improve!
It's slow but steady....
I am also going to be putting some effort into chelating this nickel out.....
I hope that someone else will try this out and report the results!

I'm ok gigi... thanks for asking. Just got a pretty bad headache from all the smoke in the air here, but otherwise I'm in normal morg mode... no bad stages right now which is wonderful!
I guess I'm gonna sit back on this barley for now. But I hope others can report back as well so you can get more of an idea about the whole process... sorry I can't help. I hope you continue improving tho gigi!
hugs ~~ bannanny

I'm standing here in my bathroom wearing the barley with my 21st treatment. In the past couple of days, I've been doing this day and night because I have some extra time. I can't believe it. I almost cried the other night.. I am actually seeing more real skin on my arms as compared to the reddened skin, which must be fungus. My arms were so reddened before, they looked tan. I even had people commenting on how easily I tan I'm itching in several spots as the barley dries, and I still have some rashy areas popping up .. on the stomach.. a few places on the back.. tops of legs.. one on neck... and several places on the arms still... however, they are more pinkish and less red and everything is still moving in the direction of improving!! I would love for others to try this out and report back... |

Gigi,
How are you chelating the nickel out?
Are you using chlorella or something similar?
What tests did you order and through whom for your toxicity report?
Update and observations:
I had two types of mold around my home and decided to apply the chitinase to these areas and see what happened. One type was in a small area in the corner of my shower on the tub part. Not the grout. I dripped it on and this morning, where it dripped, the mold came off. I did this in the middle of my test area. The area around the drip is still steadfastly (if that is a real word) holding on to the tub. Interesting. The other area was compromised with rain, it was outside on my patio.
My skin. I have had teeny pimple things appear and dissappear. I would say atleast my skin is where it was at before I knew something was wrong. Back then it would of been considered normal by me. I am also going through itching in cycles but it doesn't seem to manifest anything like the lesions I once had. Oh, and the tip of my nose peeled. Ugh.
Still very aggressive with my internal protocol.
Hows things going with you?
Frito

This may explain the nickel - ions of nickel are attracted to chitin and chitosan:
Fly larvae are known to accumulate heavy metals on their shells. The metal ions of iron, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, magnesium and cadmium attach to the chitin and chitosan of the larvae.

Frito - I've done 32 treatments.. I'm back to doing one a day. I am still seeing steady improvements.. but heck! it's not going fast enough I am seeing more and more of my real skin in various places, especially my arms. I CANNOT BELIEVE how infected my skin is though! I'm still being really aggressive with the infection by doing other things, like salt in my antifungal shampoo, and then using that as a body scrub, soaking in various antifungal remedies, and using lotions on my body with antifungal properties. I used some hydrogen peroxide on my skin yesterday.. and wow... I see, for example, that my stomach is still severely infected, but the barley is only lighting up an area or two when I use it. When I scrub the area with the salt or use the peroxide, a lot more areas are showing infected. I wonder if it's because I cannot get the barley to go deep enough into the skin.. and wonder what I can do for that? As for internals... I've been doing a lot of acv w/ baking soda in water and a lot of lemon water. I am also doing a formula called Kandidaplex.. I think I'm going to be more aggressive with the antifungals and will add something else. As far as chelating the metal, my naturopath wanted to tackle that for next time. I will see her in a few weeks.. but I'm supposed to see an osteopath around the same time and I will talk to her about the metal chelation. I am currently just taking NAC and have been doing far infrared sauna sessions and ionic foot baths for the metals. I also do lots of vitamin C .... Hey Jo... I find that information about larvae accumulating metals pretty interesting, however, I really believe the metals came first in my case. I realized that I have a huge exposure at work... and believe this is where my high load came from. I believe this has played a huge part with me getting sick in the first place ... helping to cause the candida and this fungal infection to grow WAY out of control. |

Thank you Gigi!!! I was just surfing and looked into nickel chelation. I found something rather curious, but I am unsure as to where to post it. So....see the anabuse thread.

This does work. I use it often. It will cure anything that is on the skin....I simplify the recipe and it stills works...I use tap water....Thank you Nick

First and formost anyone that has seen a lesion knows that it is not caused by digging and scratching.
Anyone that has severe itching crazy or not, I would say, their skin itches, the brain problem is a result of the disease that causes itching.
The idea that this Chitin will destroy anything on the skin, well that I would like to see, lesions have a very tough red pulp inside them, like a bright red caviar so bright because the cells that you can see are rounded shiny and red, giving off each a reflection if you use a light and move it your can see the separate sparkling.
Along with this, there is a white sheath that shields or protects the material possibly from immune response, now this white plastic like material, this is really tough, as tough as a plastic child's toy.
I know how hard this is to destroy, and its not easy.
I would like to have pictures of anyone with lesions show improvement of the lesion/TUMOR.
Tumor because that is what it is, these growths feed off of capillaries that grow along in size with them.
