Raspberry oil soap testimonial

Dear Miss Ann,

Thank you so much for sending the bar of Raspberry/ pomegranate, and lovely samples. I was down to the last sliver of my first shipment and wondering how I'd survive the weekend if I didn't hear from you! You are an angel and this truly was a mercy mission!!

For 3 years I have suffered with horrendous skin parasites, have been to 7 doctors including two dermatologists, and each has made the condition much worse. I got some relief with Neem products and sulfur soap. But lately there has been talk that the natural pesticide in Raspberries is effective (the ellagic acid). And that maybe why there has been a rush on this flavor soap.

And the medical community is totally clueless!  These insects are or become resistant to Permetherin very quickly, and doctors refuse to accept this, and just keep prescribing it even when it is not working. The real problem is that these vicious little things are hard to detect and quickly become embedded.

But your soap does offer real relief, and without the drying harshness of sulfur soap. It even rinses nicely out of my hair which the sulfur was turning to straw. This last week I also started using it as a toothpaste as the mites go up your nose down your throat and attack the gum-line. If you've ever had any sort of tooth pain you know the agony this creates, and nothing worked, but the raspberry soap got them out and I am sane again.

Most scabicides are so harsh that they tell you to use from the neck down, etc. and trust me, the mites do not respect any boundaries! Your soap is much more pleasant and effective. And it's gentle enough for delicate areas. I actually rub the bar over the skin by the wet sores after my shower and leave it on the skin under my NeemAura lotion and I think it dries up the wounds faster.

Scabies is an ancient disease, but the current mites are something much tougher. At one point I looked like I had small pox. They eat through all layers of skin, and nothing would help. Lindane, one of the major treatments, is a trigger for leukemia, and many think permetherin was a cause of Gulf War syndrome for the first war. So it is wonderful to find a safe treatment that helps. God bless you and much continued success.

Here are two photos that I've taken documenting the condition of my left lower leg. The first shot was taken in Dec. 2004, and the other was taken in July 2005 after using your soap.  I can't actually say that it is a "cure", but the improvement has been dramatic and the most of any product I have used.  



It is wonderful to know that there is more soap coming in the pipeline. I think that much of the quality comes from the small batch care that you bring to the process. Also, the fact that you use Raspberry Oil and not just raspberry fragrance.

God bless you and much continued success.
