Mrs. D. there is NO whole body application. There is ONLY between his toes.

I looked up Icy Hot and Extra Strength Ben Gay. They have 30 percent methol (the strongest in any cream). I also looked up oil of wintergreen which has 98 percent which is toxic to anyone.

So I gather if he's just using it between the toes, then either icy hot or the Extra Strength Ben gay will be better than the tiger baum, right?

Remember he only uses any of these between his toes, no where else.

And he takes precription strength Vitamin D (once a week)

Thanks much, Melody

The RX vitamin D does NOT work....it is D2 and inactive in humans. Doctors still give patients that junk...and they get nowhere. RX D treatments are now known to be useless for the most part.

He needs D3...that is only OTC. If you know his tested level it is 1000IU of D3 for every 10 points to raise. So if he is very low -- say below 20 he would need 5,000IU daily to raise to a level of 50. It is very inexpensive.

This is best taken daily.

We are seeing Dr. Fred this thursday. I am printing out what you wrote.

He is always supportive of anything we inform him of.

Will update and thanks very very much

Here is an explanation about D2 vs D3:

You can give this to your doctor tomorrow.

You can also tell him that D3 has replaced all food supplementation in this country.

Hi. Mrs. D.

Our appt. is for Thursday at 3 p.m. You better believe that I will show this to him.

And I thank you.

Am I correct in assuming I should not buy this Oil of Wintergreen so Alan can put it between his toes. I read that it's toxic but he'a all gung ho.

I said 'NO, I'll get you the Icy Hot or the Extra Strength Bengay.

One needs to be careful with full strength oils. I'd recommend not using it as you describe.
