Brooks Bradley: Re: your post of August 13, 2010, on toenail fungus treatment using saturated bicarbonate of soda plus DMSO plus a laser pointer.
Hello Brooks, this sounds very interesting and my husband would like to try it as he has tried many other methods with little success. Could you please give us some more background on this unusual protocol? Specifically, why were you using saturated bicarbonate of soda, and what is the purpose of the laser pointer light? Many thanks, Sheila .......................................
