Hello Marshall,
Indeed, we have had numerous reports from among our
volunteer base....that CS is quite effective against athlete's foot. Most
especially those incorporating DMSO in their protocol. However, we have
accumulated no direct, scientifically-controlled data to substantiate
repeatable results of this nature. I do not contend they do not
exist.....just that we do not have them in-hand.
As a point of interest.....athelete's foot fungus
was not one which we evaluated......most were of free-form spore origin.
Please undestand I am not trying to be argumentive
on this topic....but rather just relating our experiences. In my household,
we put CS in every animal pet's water....and have done so for over 5 years:
general result; no vet bills for contagious or debilitating pathogenic
insults from among 9 dogs, 3 cats, 1 Amazon parrot and 1 prairie dog (p.s.
this in view of the fact that prairie dogs are coarse vegetation digesters
and should encounter at least some of the difficulties as
rabbits..........such has not manifested. But maybe J.R. [our P.D.] is an
exception.) Best Regards, Brooks.
