A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was so sad that I seemed to have had a backslide and shocking fusing beginning.  WELL! I want to share with you all my wonderful turn around. 

I stopped in at my Coop and tentatively asked one of the nutritional experts there about skin diseases "down there".  The man I like there is an older fellow and very warm hearted.  He instantly gently said, Oh, you have lichen? and told him my tale that Vitamin D etc protocol was working internally and that castor oil had been very helpful externally, but not anymore etc. 

He, Toby told me about Aloe Vera gel and to mix a tablespoon with 3 or 4 drops of Tumeric Essential Oil.  he shared a couple stories and even that he has Oral Lichen and he controls it with swishing with the liquid aloe daily.   I took the tumeric home to add to my aloe.

I read up on both of those online - amazing verifiable data on them. Anyway, long story short, this mixture is a friggin' miracle!  within a day the fusing was unfusing and I was out of pain again... and I think the thickened skin at my perineum is even getting back to softer. 

I've waited a bit to share with you all; I wanted to be sure it was for real. By all means read up on these two things.   Oh OH! and along with that mixture, I have also read an article from a doctor that indicates that they think more important than the creams we use it appears to be the massaging in that helps the most!  Blessings, Nancy

      HI Janie - I had no idea so I went online. My guess is that it is just another name for the fact that it is what is inside the leaf - ie.it is the gell not the juice form that has been extracted from the leaf.  Does the front SAY the word GEL or GELLY? does the ingredient list say it is about 98 - 99%  straight aloe? then you'll be fine.

    Just got the aloe Vera gel, tried it last night alone and it had a great thick soft texture - stayed nicely on my skin and somehow felt very potent. It’s too thick to add to my spray bottle (yes I tried that and it clogged it up) . Tonight for the first time I tried the turmeric essential oil (just arrived from amazon since the very hip herbal store in SF that has EVERYTHING did not have it) with it. I literally dropped one tear drop into my hand and added about a 1/4 teaspoon of aloe Vera gel- rubbed it into my palm and applied to my affected skin. Turmeric in Chinese medicine is considering an extremely “warming food” and aloe is very cooling so I find t interesting they work well together. Well, my skin immediately got warm there (I had a similar feeling once when I put one tiny droplet of oregano essential oil STRAIGHT onto my skin and it got very hot, before I knew about carrier oils). I’m letting it sort of sink in and observing the skin and how it feels right now. I’d say the first 15 minutes the skin was feeling a bit too warm as in “I’d better take this off now”, now about 20 minutes in its sort of feeling warm, it’s so warm it’s almost cooling and feels sort of the way peppermint oil feels (think dr Bonner’s soap), but a little mellower. I’m gonna try this combo again tomorrow but will this time make the proportion of turmeric to aloe Vera gel much less. I’m still trying to figure out what solutions to take out and what to keep. At the moment along with this I’m doing a spritz on the skin after peeing, consisting of sodium bicarbonate, water, tea tree and lavender. Trying to decide if I should add borax to the spray mist I apply after peeing or if borax and water should be a separate application I use twice a day. Will keep you all posted,

    Let’s all just UNFUSE now, and give us back our beatific pinkish skin!!

      Hi Lynn

      Thanks for making me smile “let’s all just unfuse ”!!  I have been rinsing in borax solution and thenapplying emuaid after peeing. I just got tea tree oil in the mail, trying to decide to whether to add to borax solution or make a new mix with sodium bicarbonate. What is your ratio for mixing?  Does the oil lubricants well?

      I am hoping eliminate the emuaid as this is awkward to apply at work (trying to be so clean)!!! 

      I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago and have been using the clobestasol for a week and have been not eating sugar or wheat for about 2 weeks.  I also do borax soaks at least 1 a day. I did try tumeric oil and aloe but still burns a little but happy to have it in my arsenal of creams!  

      Thanks everyone here for your support!

      Hi Susan,

      I’m also trying to figure out ratios. I just got my 100% emu oil and my thinking is it could be a good lubricant for sex or as a base for a healing paste. Right now I have two mixes to use post-pee. I’m alternating them. One is in a small travel spray bottle that I change out weekly: let’s say 2/3 water and the rest is a mix of tea tree oil (let’s say 3-5 drops), lavender oil (same) and sodium bicarbonate (enough that when you shake the mix the powder is still at the bottom). My other one I just got is just a concentrate of borax and water with about 4 drops of tea tree oil. Because I’m out of spray bottles I shake that bottle and soak up a organic cotton swab and hold it on the area then let it air dry. I also just got aloe gel which I’m gonna mix with the borax mix since I’ve learned it thickens the mix and therefore doesn’t work in a spray bottle. Still sorting this all out. Also considering keeping the bicarbonate spritz and turning the borax one into a paste with the gel and tea tree. Guessing to make it a paste it’s just minus the water, so just borax, aloe gel and any essential oils just a few drops. (Lavender/tea tree). I’ll apply that by hand and massage it by hand- will keep you posted! Let’s pray to the unfusing gods! Keep me posted too

      HI Lynn Welcome home!  thanks for keeping on sharing your processes. 

      Let me tell you how I've been using the Aloe. I as told that the ratio should be about one Tablespoon Aloe ot about 3 - 4 drops of tumeric.  I put the tablespoon of Aloe into a little Gladware plastic cup with a blue lid that shuts tight. That will last for several days without drying out. Then I stir with my finger to totally mix it which makes the Aloe go from clear gel to a translucent range of color. 

      I thinking that your in the palm method is losing most of the tumeric into your palm. what do you think? Then I apply it with my fingers; I use a different finger for the vulva area me from the back/anusarea just to be safe. 

      I have to admit - grin - I really don't understand how all you girls who spray stuff on you after peeing, You all must be contortionists to get your wrists in such a position that a spray bottle will work.. and then what? doesn't the liquid borax water etc all run down you and you have to wipe that up too? haha I'm sorry the whole image makes me laugh every time I visualize a conversation from one of you....

       DO any of you just kind of go pee with your pelvis tilted way back so that your pee goes straight down and not down into the vagina area? I finally figured that one out months ago. hehe... my sister and I many years ago at our summer cabin in the woods (lake michigan) would go pee outdoors, sort of standing up; very freeing!  

      OH! but i realized that the idea of using borax wash might be a good idea so i modified your all suggestions and have a little container at the bathroom sink that I can dip a cotton ball into and wipe myself - that is nicely cooling too. smiles.

      Hi Nancy, I dont spray anymore, what I prefer to do is use my Bidet when I go Pee, its fast easy and you dont have to use toilet paper, just a towel afterwards. 

      Also, while we are on the subject I think if you are using borax and spraying you need to be a bit careful because most of us have hardly any LM which means the spray could get right onto the Urethra and I dont think that's such a good idea.

      Hi Nancy,

      Personally I don't use my borax spray after every bathroom visit, as a rule I only use it after a BM and last thing before I lay down at night of course that can vary depending on my needs as I have IBSD. My toilet is right by my bath tub so after toileting I wipe or pat dry then simply step over into my tub grab my spray bottle of borax and lavender and spray everything from front to back, step out and pat dry with a clean cloth. I also keep a spray bottle of baking soda and lavender and I will alternate from time to time from borax spritz to baking soda spritz. I am considering giving the tea tree oil a try instead of the lavender. Tea tree oil seems pretty harsh to me but then I'm certainly willing to give it a try. Haven't tried the aloe/tumeric oil yet. I bought an all natural healing salve on line that I am trying right now. I haven't been using it long enough to make a call on how well it's going to help yet!

      HO nice to hve grown up where bidet's are comon - I am assuming, right? When I've been in europe ages ago, I loked thte sitationa dcouldnt even figure out HOW people use the thing standing? forward? or back ward a? and how much does the spray hit hte floor as well..hhahaha. 

      Anyway , i don's use the borax the way you women are mentioning. I DID take baths all winter with borax in them and now I'm feeling so much better between the baths, nutrition and natural topicals I don't feel the need.  I DO put borax at recommended dosage into one of my liters of water that we're supposed to drink every day.

    Nancy, how important is the Borax or Baking Soda rinse in conjunction with the aloe and tumeric?

      HI Susan, oh.... that's a kinda biochemical question. I'm not a chemist of any sort, but i do know that Borax and baking soda are both hlghly ALKALINE, that much I know - which is WHY they are useful for after going pee. 

      But the alkalizing borax  is not an either or situation with the Aloe. I't kinda individual. If anyone is having a trouble with their pee being too acidic on raw skin, using both at different times OR one after the other would help nicely.  

      BUt for those who have gotten things a bit more under control and are eating an alkalizing diet, I personally don 't see the need for multi-daily bathroom sprays. To each their own.   

      See? the alkalizing Borax/baking soda is a temp thing that reduces pain. but the ALOE is a healing agent. 

      To use both when it's needed, the borax cleansing should be applied first and then the aloe or other healing agent applied.

      Thank you so much Nancy for explaining.  You really have gotten us out of the dark.  I think you should have your own website with a disclaimer of course. Thanks again.
