I am not a Chemist, or English major, so there is very likely some mistakes on this site and no one else has reviewed it in detail. I believe the information presented is clear enough to ask the question: Do Demodex Mites cause disease and can they be reduced or eliminated?
Warning
I have not found anything that kills Demodex Mites quickly or without reactions.
Reactions I Experienced: rashes, boils, numbness, cramps, fatigue, serious digestive problems,
dangerous infections, variations in heart beat down to 50 beats per minute, blood pressure spike over 200
Possible Reactions: organ failure, heart attack due to dramatic muscle contraction.
My Results with Strong Treatments
Strong treatments have significantly reduced the activity and/or population of Demodex Mites.
This resulted in a reduction of all symptoms of my incurable Psoriatic Arthritis by 90% to 95%.
Symptoms Reduce: all itching, Rosacea, Folliculitis, infections (toe and fingernails), itching and redness in the eyes, neck pain (Degenerative Disk Disease), muscle soreness, muscle cramps, and numbness (Paresthesia), fatigue, pressure sore on back, swelling everywhere on my body, etc.

Internal Treatment of Demodex Mites – 1/21/26
There are two approaches to treating Demodex Mites low risk of reactions and higher risk of reactions
For this objective I found that taking citric acid contained in 3 lifesavers per day at least 4 hours apart was by far the most effective with the least reaction of anything tested when taken specifically at this dosage. A noticeable improvement could begin in as little as 24 hours. A strong improvement can occur within 5 to 7 days. Taking the equivalent amount of other citric acid candies like Lemon Head, or Generic candy with Citric acid may work also but only if it’s a equal quantity by weight and not a different type of acid.
If anyone has a terminal illness with absolutely no hope of recovery they can try something as simple as 3 lifesavers per day. This is obviously the least risk which has shown proven result in reduction of Chronic illness in 5 cases listed below. It could also verify the possibility Demodex Mites could be the cause of a person’s disease. Could this begin to reverse terminal cancer almost immediately? I don’t know it has not been tested.
So why Lifesavers? Citric Acid has caused the strongest reactions of anything I have tested both internally and externally. Lifesavers likely contain about 50 mg Citric Acid each whereas orange juice contains about 1000 mg in 4 ounces. I have tested Orange Juice extensively but I finally realized that there is a boil over my Solar Plexus that becomes irritated when I consume anything or amount that is significantly harmful to Demodex Mites. This boil can cause severe stomach pain and can almost completely prevent any bowl movement which I explain on the front page under digestion. This small amount of Citric Acid dissolved slowly in the mouth is enough to disrupt Demodex in a way that causes less reaction from the human body which can possibility reduce any disease symptoms without severe reactions.
1 Gram Citric Acid Capsule one or more times per day with 4 ounces of water without food (Amazon Link)
Case Studies of 5 People that Tested Lifesavers
When I first took Sage (Thujone) and Chrysanthemums (Permethrin) together it was not long before I encounter stomach pain to the point I would no longer be able to continue. I tried tums which has always helped reduce acid stomach pain but this was pain cause by taking two strong organic insecticides together and Tums did not help.
Next I tried Pepto Bismol which had previously cured a very bad stomach virus I had for several days within one hour but it did not help this problem caused by these two organic insecticides. Pepto Bismol contains Bismuth subsalicylate 525mg/15ml which is derived from phenol which is a well-known petrochemical starting material.
I had already tested a few acids including hydrochloric and Citric with some positive effects. In online reviews I noticed people that had taken antiacids for years had taken 1 gram Citric and it resolved problems they thought were caused by acids. Finally I took a .5 gram Citric Acid capsule and that was what reduced the strong stomach pain caused by taking these two strong insecticides.
Citric acid continued to reduce stomach pain that was caused by various strong insecticides/poisons in supplements like Boron and some others taken together. But if I took Citric acid multiple times per day I started having external reactions of boils and rashes. Then I started testing 1 or 2 Citric Acid candies with probably about 50 mg of Citric Acid would resolve pain caused by strong insecticide treatments. I also discovered that large amounts of acid or insecticide would cause a boil directly over my solar plexus to increase become very painful and that would cause severe constipation and stomach pain. But the smaller amount contained in the candy would not cause this pain.
I knew even the small amount of Citric acid in these candies were pretty strong because for my entire life when I took about 3 close together I would get mouth ulcers and stomach pain. But as I took them with strong insecticide supplements my tolerance for citric increased to the point I tested ten 1 gram Citric acid capsules at one time and five 1 gram Citric acid capsules 4 times six hours apart without severe reactions. I even found when I took very strong poisons like Boron it would start to cause ulcers inside my mouth and the lifesavers would reduce the ulcers they had previously caused.
I took as many as 10 to 15 Lifesavers at one point and thought they may eliminate Demodex completely. They finally would not reduce Demodex completely and began to cause tooth decay taking that amount for extended periods. I have still taken them within the last year a few times as I continued to test various supplements. When I shared this information with a few others they wanted to try them and there are 4 other stories I am sharing.
This person has had problems with constipation starting as 6 months old. Constipation was moderate and sporadic during the teen years. At adulthood constipation became constant and serious and continued to get worse with age. Symptoms includes a bulging and uncomfortable stomach and often 2 weeks or more without a bowl movement. By the age of 30 until present constant medical treatment by prescriptions were tested as directed by gastroenterologist and some exercises but with no significant progress. Extreme stomach bulging and discomfort have been continuous without bowl movements for weeks at a time. Bowl movements normally only occur with 2 or 3 times recommended dosages of over the counter laxatives.
Test #1 – Subject agreed to take 3 Lifesavers per day for 3 days although they were skeptical that it would help at all considering many prescription medications had been ineffective. After three days no noticeable reaction occurred. A recommendation that the test continue a few more days was suggested but subject which has extensive medical training consider the test irrelevant and declined further testing at that time.
In the evening two days later they took 4 Ex-lax which was a double dose of their most commonly used laxative. They reported the next morning they had the strongest bowl movement they had ever experienced which was so strong they were seriously concerned that something was wrong. They were especially concerned because the bowel movement had blueish and some other colors in it they had not seen before. When I suggest it might be related to lifesavers taken a few days before they dismissed that possibility. When I looked up “can lifesavers cause color in bowel movement” the results came back “Strange colors of stool are almost always due to food coloring”. Lifesavers list “Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1) under Ingredients.
Test #2 – I arrived one morning for a visit and soon after I got there she mentioned she had taken 4 Ex-lax the night before again. She said it had been such a long time since she had a bowel movement that the situation was serious. Although the doctors continued to prescribe various medications from time to time they had also told her if she was in a dire situation to take whatever amount of an over counter medication was necessary to go if she had no other choice. She then laid out 4 more Ex-lax and stated she knew that was considered dangerous but based on her experience that was going to be necessary to go.
I suggested before she took 4 more Ex-lax that she take 3 Lifesavers thirty minutes apart and she agreed. She took one we timed 30 minutes and she took another one. After thirty more minutes she took the third one. While she still had the third one in her mouth she said she had to go quickly and went to the bathroom with success. She had finished all 3 Lifesavers and started doing a few things and after about 20 more minutes she felt she had to go again and she did. She never took the remaining 4 Ex-lax.
Conclusion – If a bowel movement does not occur after taking a laxative and waiting the normal amount of time for it to work taking three Lifesaver thirty minutes apart may increase the strength of the laxative two or more times.
Test #3 – She went on a vacation to another country for about 10 days. She had not had a bowl movement for about a week before going. The day after her return I was there for a visit. I knew she had not gone for over 2 weeks. I was testing Orange Juice at the time for the stomach problems I was having as a result of taking various strong supplements even together. She had Orange Juice and liked to drink it sometimes. Orange Juice has about 1000 mg per 4 ounces whereas Lifesavers have about 50 mg of Citric Acid. This would seem to indicate that Orange Juice would be much stronger at relieving constipation. I suggest that she try about 8 ounces Orange Juice which she did. After about half of a cup which is 4 ounces and 1000 mg of Citric Acid she had a moderate bowel movement.
Test #4 – On another occasion weeks later after about two weeks without a bowel movement I suggested she could try taking about 8 ounces of Orange Juice again. She agreed and drank the full glass which is about 2000 mg of Citric Acid. I was also continuing to test Orange Juice vs LifeSavers at the time and drank about 8 ounces myself around the same time. I had discovered I have a boil over my Solar Plexus that I have pictures of which stayed sore any time I took strong supplements. This spot would feel very sore when you pushed on it and I could tell it was causing my stomach muscles to tighten causing stomach pain and constipation.
I had thought that a much larger amount of citric acid should cause more harm to Demodex and reduce the effect of the boil over my Solar Plexus quicker. But the reactions of Demodex to this larger amount of citric acid was making the problem worse. Taking a smaller amount of citric acid contain in Lifesavers coated my mouth and upper digested system with citric acid for longer than Orange Juice. Demodex Mites have been found living in the mouth (Demodex infestation of oral mucosal sebaceous glands) and other types of mites have been able to “parasitize in human intestines” and so Demodex are likely living in the complete upper and lower digestion system (Diarrhea and acaroid mites: A clinical study). Lifesavers were also effective without causing irritation to the boil over my Solar Plexus.
Orange Juice does react with react with Calcium Carbonate and dissolve a much larger amount of calcium than Lifesavers which is important after I have already developed a case of severe constipation. But in this test I learned taking Orange Juice alone was much less effective than taking Lifesavers first.
I was talking to my neighbor by the back fence and at one point he mentioned that he had fallen. He said he had been in a bad car accident and almost didn’t live and showed me a picture of an X-ray with more than 10 metal bars inside his body. He said it made him weak and sometimes when he goes to take a step his leg will just give out and he will fall.
He also said that about every two weeks he will have a day when he cannot eat or hardly even drink water. I believe he said it seemed like it was getting worse and the doctor told him the only thing they could do for him would be to operate again. That included breaking his ribs and try to make some improvement. He told me he had tried a few supplements but that nothing had helped much.
I asked John if he might want try some Lifesavers and he tilted his head a little bit and said lifesavers? I replied Citric Acid, and he nodded his head yes. I ask him if he was taking any type antiacid that might cancel the effect of the acid and he said he was not. So I went back to my house and brought him some lifesavers. I said he could try taking 1 then waiting 15 minutes then taking another one maybe 3 times a day. I told him one of the most common reactions to the Lifesavers for me was a sore in my mouth would start to develop and that if he felt anything he should discontinue taking them.
I saw him about a week later we a little and I ask how the Lifesavers were doing. He said he had started to feel something in his mouth that he thought might be tooth ache so he stopped taking the Lifesavers. He said he hated to stop taking them because he could tell they were helping. He also said it had been a few days since he had stop taking them when he talked to me and he said but I still feel better even after I stopped a few days. I told him I could get him some Neem I was using which might reduce the problem some also and then maybe he take some Lifesavers but not as many.
The next time I talked to Jim was several months later. When we talked about what he was taking he said he was still taking one Neem per day (Standard dosage 3/day) and that he had started back just taking 2 Lifesavers per day. He said he had not fallen down in months and had not had one day without being able to eat or drink water. He said he had been well enough to work his farm with no problem.
Relative reported knee pain that had continued to get worse with age but was not preventing him from getting around. He had also reported a severe problem with Gout in the past. He inquired about taking Lifesavers but I did not suggest he test the candy because he was taking a medication for what the doctor described the worst case of Gout he had ever seen. He had been taking a medication for several years that had successfully prevented it from reoccurring.
I had experienced Gout in the past also and when taking various treatments I could feel mild symptoms of it when I tested strong supplements. I suggested he wait until I could release this information to the public and get more information. He said he had often taken Lifesavers at various times in the past and didn’t think it should be a problem. He also mentioned he commonly would drink orange juice in the morning and had not had a problem with that. I could not disagree with him making the decision and did mention it could reduce his knee pain.
He started taking 3 per day and even increased to 4 per day at one point for a year or more. He never reported a noticeable reduction in knee pain. He also never reported any type of reaction from taking 4 Lifesavers per day. After he had been taking them for some time I called him one day and he had a very sore throat which he had for a few days before I called. He was retired and had not been around anyone so he did not suspect he caught it from someone. I ask him about the Lifesavers which I believed should be able to cure a sore throat and he said he had ran out of them a few days before he got the sore throat.
I suspected an immediate reduction from 4 Lifesavers per day to zero per day may have allowed a significant increase in Demodex activity. I ordered him some Zicam which I had often taken with positive results in the past for a cold and sore throat considering we did not know if the sore throat had anything to do with the reduction in Lifesavers. I ordered him some Lifesavers also which arrived a day after the Zicam and it seemed he continued to take the Zicam and got better over the next two days. Then he started back taking the Lifesavers.
Zicam and Lifesavers work in a similar way. Zinc in Zicam sticks to Demodex slowing them down and Lifesavers slows them down because they reduce their external activity to avoid Citric acid which my dissolve the wax on their shell causing them to die of dehydration. Both Zinc and Citric acid must be dissolved slowly in the mouth which coats the mouth and throat slowly or they will not work. Demodex Mites have been found living in the mouth (mouth ulcers) and probably live in the throat (throat cancer) and the whole digestion system as I discuss under digestion on the home page.Demodex infestation of oral mucosal sebaceous glands
He has discontinued taking Lifesavers because of the risk we discussed and is presently is just taking a 1 gram garlic extract with a meal until we find out more about what happened.
My sister is handicapped from an accident in high school in which a police car on a call hit the side of the car she was in and dislocated her arm which never healed. I had talked with her about the treatments I was trying and she had tried a few like garlic and sage. She knew I was continuing to try to develop more effective (strong reduction in symptoms with little reaction) treatments.
Not long after I had started realizing the effectiveness of the citric acid in Lifesavers she started falling down. She had not been very mobile to begin with because of the pain in her arm and she had been struggling with diarrhea so she would try to rush to the bathroom and fall hard. I mentioned to her that I myself and the neighbor were having some pretty good result with Citric acid in hard candy. She decided she would like to try it.
She took the Candy for a few days and said she the citric acid candy had already made her feel more stable but it was making the diarrhea worse. I mentioned to her that the Citric Acid had allowed me to take strong doses of supplements without getting constipated and that it did seem like it worked somewhat like a laxative for me. John had mentioned it felt like he was healing internally with no digestive problem.
I told her the candy cause for laxative effect than taking a Citric Acid supplement capsule so she decided to try 1 candy per day with 1 gram Citric Acid capsule per day. That reduce her diarrhea about half with no falling down still. We decided her stool was still too liquid so I told her she could substitute a 1 gram Garlic Extract for the candy. According to my testing this made a stool more solid to counter act the Citric Acid laxative effect which had not been a problem for me or John. Almost immediately she said her digestive system was working great and she continue not to fall down. She is in week 4 as I write this and she has reported several other improvements.
I explain why I believe there is a connection between Demodex Mites and Addiction but had not really considered how it would be proven physically at this point. As we were discussing questions about various symptoms she had she said she had noticed she had only smoked 1 carton of cigarettes the last week and that she had smoked 1 ½ for years and was not trying to cut back. We thought that was very interesting and we talked about a few other things.
She mentioned oh I forgot I looked down at cigarettes and remembered I told the lady that shops for me to get me lights instead of one of the strongest generic brands that I have been buying for years. I said you mean you are switching from strong cigarettes to lights because the strong ones are too strong for you? I don’t recall ever hearing of someone cutting back because they don’t like the strong one any more.
External Treatment of Demodex Mites – 1/15/26
Petroleum jelly is recommended by Dermatologist and I did not see any indication it caused any type of reaction. It was much more effective than I thought it would be on any external skin problem including open wounds.
Some people believe it smothers parasites and it is used in other countries for head lice. But it is a Petroleum based product and Petroleum is generally very harmful to insects especially if they happen to consume some of it. I would apply a thin coat several times per day and wash it completely at least twice per day. The disadvantage of Petroleum jelly is it is messy and takes a lot of effort to keep applying it and washing the area frequently. I have watched closely as a wound heals and it seems there must be at least one open hole on a wound for it to drain and Demodex Mites to exit.
The body tries to grow extra layers of skin as one the its defenses to prevent new Demodex Mites from entering. But when the skin grows over it blocks Demodex Mites from exiting and they likely get very agitated and try to dig and scratch their way out. It also prevents fluid from draining so it builds up under the skin and that is how an agitated boil is created and how I believe most or all diseases are created outside and inside the body. But if the aggravating factor that is causing the problem is still present below the skin Petroleum jelly cannot heal it completely.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a Surfactant that I first discovered in Dawn Dish washing liquid. I noticed videos that stated Dawn can kill insects (How To Effectively Get Rid of Pests With Dawn Dish Soap). A surfactant has a molecule that will attach one end to oils and dirt and the other end to water so that the oil and dirt get carried away. This also allows better penetration of other substances that SLS is combined with like so much so that it is included in soaps, toothpaste, and even medications.
I first tested one teaspoon of Dawn in one quart of water and quickly noticed it would reduce itching better than anything else I had tested at that point. I looked at the ingredients and SLS stood out as the likely reason it would kill insects such a mites which I knew were causing my itching. I did not have any side effects at that concentration so tested a two teaspoons and it worked very well and still no side effects.
I had a very bad outbreak caused by testing internal treatments to kill Demodex at about that same time and in desperation I tested Dawn at even much higher concentrations. By the time I realized that was going to be a problem it was too late. A couple layers of my skin peeled for several days and it was a very bad situation.
After that I searched for SLS in pure form which should not be confused with Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate and I found it available for soap making online although I had to purchase a large amount. In pure form I found it to be almost as effective as dawn at reducing itching but with very little reaction even at very high concentrations. Dawn contains other ingredients such as citric acid which is one of the strongest treatments against Demodex and causes the most harmful reactions. The standard allowable amount in products that stay on your skin like cosmetics is 1%. I mix about one teaspoon with 12 ounces of water and found it will reduce itching and sores on skin better that anything else I used. I had also tested Diatomaceous Earth which I found to be effective also but since it is a powder it would not stay on my skin until I added it into water with SLS. These two do not mix so it has to be shaken up every time I use it.
Diatomaceous Earth is very small sharp objects that can cut the exterior of insects causing them to lose fluids and die. When it is combined with alcohol it can have a very strong drying effect especially considering the mites should have holes in their shell also. It may also cause them internal harm. In the video on the front page you can see Demodex Mites which are covered with oil. So anything applied to them externally on the skin must first get through that layer and it is diluted. So I found it is very important to rub in most treatments several times but in this case its even more important because rubbing it in means pushing and moving these sharp objects against Demodex. It is a very popular physical insecticide sold everywhere and at farm store in 30lb bags for farm animals.
I have been able to use this in any location including around the eyes as long as I keep them tightly closed a couple of minutes until it dries.
I mix 12 ounces of filtered water, 1 teaspoon SLS (about 1%), 2 teaspoons Diatomaceous Earth
This must be shaken up vigorously each time it is used. Demodex Mites externally on the skin are mostly covered in oil as seen from the video on the Home Page so it is important to rub in any external treatment to penetrate this oil film layer. I wear thin plastic gloves when applying this solution and spray it on the glove to apply. If this solution is sprayed on bare hands it will cause severe drying and cracking of the skin. Although it generally does not cause excessive drying to the area applied if I apply it to 5 or 10 areas it gets sprayed on the hand/glove 5 or 10 times each time I apply it to various areas.
The ingredient Hydrocolloid absorbs liquid and forms a substance of the consistency of white mud. It is my opinion that it traps Demodex Mites that come to the surface. In addition it draws liquid out of the boil which creates a dry environment that is very harmful to mites. It reduces the severity of even a highly irritated infected boils even within 2 to 8 hours. I change the bandages and take a shower every 8 to 12 hours. These bandages have reduced the severity of infected boils when nothing else will.
It should be noted though that it dries the boils so quickly that it can create a hard surface trapping Demodex Mites below the surface. Any boil created by Demodex mites will not heal completely until the fluid drains form the boil. I have to scratch the surface in the cases of the most severe boils if I want them to heal completely. However a boil that recedes below the skin and does not heal completely it much better than a draining irritated infected boil.
The 5 Primary Internal Treatments I Am Continuing to Test – 1/13/26
So do these 5 treatments listed below seem weak in comparison to the strongest petroleum based pharmaceutical treatments available in the medical science world or compared to chemo? One of the major secrets to harming Demodex Mites is very small continuous doses. In one major test I started consuming 2 oz milk every hour for about 10 hours. Milk contains about 305mg so that is 2/8 X 305 = 76.25mg per hour. The next day in an 8 hour test I added 1 gram garlic extract per hour which contains several strong sulfides that are very strong in the stomach. But I also purchased garlic extract in 5 gram size which many people use so 1 gram per hour for 8 hour would not seem dangerous by itself. Keeping in mind I tested garlic extract and all treatments separately and extensively for many days to a few weeks before I considered testing them together. I could tell this combination was much stronger than milk alone but I they were still able to react against this combination and I could tell more strength was needed if I was going to kill them completely.
The next day I add 1 tsp Diatomaceous Earth each hour which should not be excessive considering the recommend max adult dosage is 2 tbsp per day which is 6 tsp per day. About 15 minutes after consuming the third dosage of this combination of Milk, Garlic, and Diatomaceous Earth I could feel a strong reaction and I immediately checked by blood pressure and it was over 200 the highest I have ever seen it. I also have a 6 led kardia mobile. My heart rate dropped to 50 bpm and has remained there for a few months. I immediately discontinued this combination but by testing other combinations of these 5 treatments my heart bpm is just now coming back up to 60 bpm. I have found that Demodex Mites can not survive very well in a constant environment of some substances like Calcium and Citric Acid although they are not seriously effected by large single doses of those same substances.
My first experience with Citric Acid was over 50 years ago when I was in middle school. I was on the second round for a school bus home so I decided to walk across the street and get some lifesavers while I was waiting. I consumed 3 of them consecutively and before the school bus arrived my stomach pain was so bad I had to crouch down because it was difficult to stand. I could begin to feel mouth ulcers later that day which got pretty bad for a few days. Anytime during my life if I tried to consume Lifesavers I would get mouth ulcers and stomach pain. My father who lived in Florida said he could feel his lips burning anytime he tried to consume Orange Juice and sometime with tomatoes.
I tested Citric Acid in the form LifeSavers/Lemon Head/Generic Citric Acid candy, Orange Juice, .5 and 1 gram Citric Acid Capsules, by adding more Citric Acid powder to Crystal Light and Orange Juice, and some other ways. I believe Citric Acid could be very harmful to someone that begins to consume over 4 oz of Orange Juice once per day or over 3 lifesavers per day.
I first suggested the candy to my neighbor that had been in a terrible automobile wreck and showed me an x-ray picture of close to 20 metal pieces inside him as a result. He said he had recently fallen down and that sometimes his legs would just give out as he was walking which was very dangerous. He also said about every two weeks he would have a day that he could not eat and even drink water and it had been getting worse. He said he had tested several supplements with no positive results. The doctor had told him there was nothing they could do except possibly try to operate again but it would likely not help. I have been very careful not to recommend this treatment to anyone unless they had a chronic problem that was much worse than the problems this small amount of Citric Acid might cause. I did not suggest this treatment to another family member with no present serious symptoms who thought they might start taking the candy although I did not discourage them because they were older than me and had a knee problem. I had warned the neighbor one of the first signs of a problem would be stomach pain and mouth ulcers and that he would want to reduce this amount at any sign of these symptoms. Two days after starting the candy he started to feel a mouth ulcer and had to quit taking it. He said he could already feel it working and wanted to continue to take it and so he started taking it again after reducing the amount to 3 per day and then to 2 per day instead of 6. He reported he did not fall down again or have a digestive problem any time after that and after about 1 year or so he stop taking the candy and a year or more after that the problem has not returned.
You can see in the product reviews for Citric Acid supplements the people who have struggled with stomach pain all their life and been taking antacids like I have most of my life that when they started taking a 1 gram capsule of Citric Acid once per day their problem was mostly solved. BUT I had more serious reactions breaking out in boils with Citric Acid than any other supplement and also when it is applied externally to the skin even when reduce to the PH of Vinegar.
I have had serious problems with other combinations of treatments that affected my blood pressure, heart rate and caused severe constipation that required Citric acid to resolve.
When I first took Sage (Thujone) and Chrysanthemums (Permethrin) together it was not long before I encounter stomach pain to the point I would no longer be able to continue. I tried tums which has always helped reduce acid stomach pain, and Pepto Bismol which I had found could reduce a stomach virus but they did not help. Finally I took a .5 gram Citric Acid capsule and that was what reduced the pain and I was able to continue. Testing finally indicated that 1 or 2 Citric Acid candies with probably about 50 mg of Citric Acid would resolve pain caused by strong insecticide treatments. I list Citric Acid first because I would not be able to continue testing without it and because even small amounts have a strong effect on Demodex. I also tested hydrochloric Acid, Acetic Acid, and Garlic which contains a large amount of Sulfur / Sulfides.
Today as I am writing this I am consuming about 32 ounces of Orange Juice in 24 hours which would dangerous for most people. Then I switch to small doses of milk for several hours not mixing the two. I have consumed between 5 and 15 Lifesavers/Lemonhead type candies per day for an extended period which has eventually cause serious teeth problems but I did not have much of problem for the first couple of years. BUT I never felt any pain from these cavities and could not see the problem from the front. When the dentist was probing my teeth reviewing some serious cavities after checking a few she replied “That’s amazing” with no explanation why I have no pain. I am seeing signs that the teeth are re-mineralizing and believe it is possible they may be able to repair themselves if Demodex Mites are reduced based on some research and what I am seeing. Are Demodex Mites the cause of the reactions I am having to Citric Acid? I have no way to prove one way or the other but I do know after many months of taking treatments that are harmful to Demodex with Citric Acid any amount of the acid does not cause any serious reactions for me any longer although I can still feel some activity if I take a very large amount.
I recalled there was big disagreement years ago about whether Orange Juice could help reduce cold symptoms. They tested Vitamins C and finally concluded that it really did not reduce cold symptoms. I far as I can tell I believe Vitamin has little or no effect on Demodex Mites but Citric Acid in Orange Juice is one of the strongest plant based insecticides I tested. My daughter went to France about two years ago and I went to visit as soon as she got back. She had caught Covid and began to experience the symptoms during the end of the two day visit I got Covid also. She is a nurse and had taken every vaccine offered and I did not have any vaccine and was a little under 70 years old. She was miserable and had a strong case of every symptom of Covid for a couple of days. I had serious muscle soreness but had no other symptoms and I consumed Lifesavers while I was sick. I believe Citric Acid works in a way that is similar to Zinc which covers the mouth and the upper digestive tract with zinc and probably slows them down.
During this testing I avoided Calcium originally for the first few years because I knew acid was very harmful to Demodex. Calcium (Limestone Rock) reacts with acids when they dissolve these rocks and reduce the acidity. When I finally did test Calcium at various quantities and intervals I found the results were much different than I expected. For example when I tested Tums and various Calcium supplements I experienced the worse constipation I have experienced in my life taking up to 8 grams total. But I finally realized that continuous doses to a small amount of Calcium such as in 2 oz of milk would reduce their activity with very little reaction.
I also remembered an experience I had more than 10 years ago when I was having a lot of stomach pain and I was taking more and more Tums until I got up to the 8 grams per day for several months. My history with psoriasis had played a big part in my testing. When I went for an annual exam they found a high Calcium level in my blood and said I would need to reduce my Calcium intake or it could cause a kidney stone and I start using milk of magnesia. I didn’t realize at the time but over the next several months the psoriasis scales on my elbows and kneecaps I had for years went away and has never come back although I do get some bumps and soreness on them still. Today as I am writing this I took small amounts of orange juice for 12 hours and when I stopped and soon after I drank a few ounces of milk and in 2 hours I had a strong bowl movement from the milk and a considerable amount of reduction in symptoms. I believe the reason calcium reduces stomach pain is not because it reduces acidity but because it sticks to Demodex Mites inside and out and slows them down considerably. To someone that says it works by reducing the acidity I suggest you read the reviews online of people that have been taking antiacids and Omeprazole all their life for acid stomach pain that are now taking a 1 gram capsule of Citric Acid per day which is a very strong dose and that is finally preventing stomach pain for them. Citric Acid is very harmful to Demodex and I am using it to reduce the Demodex population and as a result although in the past 3 lifesavers taken close together could cause me serious stomach pain and mouth ulcers all my life now I can drink 40 oz of orange juice in a single day and I took 10 grams of Citric in a single dose with no stomach pain.
A base with 10% Sulfur concentration has been known for years to be an effective treatment to cure Scabies Mites and still is considered a viable treatment. It has been primarily replaced as a first treatment preference by doctors with %5 Permethrin which is strong enough to kill all Scabies mites which are only slightly below the surface almost on contact sulfur takes longer they may even have to eat it for it work. But 95% of Demodex Mites are below the surface at all times and many are far enough below that no surface treatment contacts them.
This article below demonstrates that:
(1) In 2015 when this test was conducted it showed Ivermectin was superior to sulfur comparing sulfur applied externally to ivermectin administered internally.
(2) Comparing sulfur and ivermectin in this test the highest effectiveness was Ivermectin at 78.5% after 4 weeks and repeated doses indicating that ivermectin was not complete effective even with multiple doses 10 years ago. But has ivermectin decrease in effectiveness in ten years? What happens when you take ivermectin like I did multiple time even at increased doses and it’s not completely effective? I broke out in boils all over my body especially around the collar, under the arms, and behind the knees. It was reported that the people that took it during covid were calling hospitals and asking for advice because of the reactions.
(3) It shows that sulfur is harmful to scabies mites when applied to the skin externally demonstrating sulfur is harmful to mites.
The efficacy of oral ivermectin vs. sulfur 10% ointment for the treatment of scabies
ABSTRACT – Human scabies is caused by an infection of the skin by the human itch mite (Sarcoptic scabiei var. hominis). There are different medications for the treatment of scabies. This study aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of oral ivermectin vs. sulfur 10% ointment for the treatment of scabies. In total, 420 patients with scabies were enrolled, and randomized into two groups: the first group received a single dose of oral ivermectin 200 µg/kg body weight, and the second group received sulfur 10% ointment and were told to apply this for three successive days. Treatment was evaluated at intervals of 2 and 4 weeks, and if there was treatment failure at the 2-week follow-up, treatment was repeated. A single dose of ivermectin provided a cure rate of 61.9% at the 2-week follow-up, which increased to 78.5% at the 4-week follow-up after repeating the treatment. Treatment with single applications of sulfur 10% ointment was effective in 45.2% of patients at the 2-week follow-up, which increased to 59.5% at the 4-week follow-up after this treatment was repeated. A single dose of ivermectin was as effective as single applications of sulfur 10% ointment at the 2-week follow-up. After repeating the treatment, ivermectin was superior to sulfur 10% ointment at the 4-week follow up. The delay in clinical response with ivermectin suggests that it may not be effective against all the stages in the life cycle of the parasite.
The article below indicates that:
(1) In rats tested a “1.0 g/kg body weight/day dose” of garlic was associated with marked histological “damage in liver after 21 days.” And “0.5 g/kg body weight/day dose of garlic showed morphological changes in the liver of one animal.”
(2) In rats tested “Therefore, the present study suggests that garlic with high dose has the potential ability to induce liver damage and low doses (0.1 or 0.25 g / kg body weight/day) are safe doses of garlic.” Indicating that 0.25 g / kg body weight/day of garlic is safe in rats. My weight is about 170 lbs. which is 170 lbs. X .25 grams = 42.5 grams of garlic per day is safe in rats. If I took 1 gram of garlic every hour that would be 24 grams/per day and the most I have ever taken is about 12 per day but never for repeated days and these doses were repeated for 21 days. However it should be noted that excessive garlic consumption can cause liver damage.
Garlic hepatotoxicity: safe dose of garlic
Abstract – Information on the effect of garlic on the liver and optimal dose of garlic to avoid liver damage is not known. This study was planned to determine the safe dose of garlic. Male Wistar rats (110-170g) were fed fresh garlic homogenate (FSH) orally in three different doses (1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 g/kg body weight/day) daily for 28 days. Liver histology, serum transaminases, bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were estimated at 0, 14, 21 and 28 days in control and experimental animals. 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 g/kg body weight/day of garlic showed significant (P<0.001) deterioration in liver function tests (LFT’s) after 21, 14 and 7 days respectively. A 1.0 g/kg body weight/day dose of garlic was associated with marked histological damage in liver after 21 days. Therefore, three lower doses of garlic (0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 g/kg body weight/day) were given orally to another group of similar rats to determine the safe dose of garlic. LFT’s were serially measured and animals were sacrificed on the 29th day of experiment. All three lower doses showed significant deterioration in the LFT’s values of animals after 28 days of feeding the freshly prepared garlic homogenate. Both doses of garlic i.e. 0.1 and 0.25 g/kg body weight/day were associated with normal histology of liver, but 0.5 g/kg body weight/day dose of garlic showed morphological changes in the liver of one animal. Therefore, the present study suggests that garlic with high dose has the potential ability to induce liver damage and low doses (0.1 or 0.25 g / kg body weight/day) are safe doses of garlic.
The article Organosulfur compounds and possible mechanism of garlic in cancer explains “Garlic (Allium sativum), a member of the family Liliaceae, contains an abundance of chemical compounds that have been shown to possess beneficial effects to protect against several diseases, including cancer. Evidence supports the protective effects of garlic in stomach, colorectal, breast cancer in humans. The protective effects appear to be related to the presence of organosulfur compounds, predominantly allyl derivatives, which also have been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in forestomach, esophagus, colon, mammary gland and lung of experimental animals. The exact mechanisms of the cancer-preventive effects are not clear, although several hypotheses have been proposed.”
Garlic contains Sulfur, garlic reduces cancer, the reason why is “not clear”. Originally it seemed at one point garlic may cure Demodex completely by taking one gram which is one pill of garlic extract every 2 hours for periods of 6 to 10 hours per day. Garlic is a strong treatment when use repetitively at 1 gram every two hours but by itself after a few days’ reactions started to increase and effectiveness was not sufficient to control and reduce Demodex enough to continue to use it by itself. BUT when used with other treatments listed it is critical to possibility of killing Demodex Mites completely inside humans. Although the reason is “not clear” to medical science why garlic does all the things listed including its effect on cancer. But if Demodex mites are considered then they cause disease, Sulfur kills or harms mites, and that decreases disease symptoms.
Considering 10% sulfur has always been and still is to some degree the strongest over the counter treatment for scabies mites is easy to see how these strong sulfides could deteriorate the wax shell on the exterior of the mite causing it to dry out and/or it might be harmful to the B.oleronius bacteria inside Demodex. My testing and information online indicates the two previously primary prescription medications Ivermectin and Permethrin are be becoming less and less effective. Even if the article was written 10 years ago the effectiveness may have changed a noticeable amount since that time. My personal experience and information online indicates Ivermectin has decreased to the point that the reactions it causes by feeding a strong insecticide to Demodex that does not kill most of them causes reactions stronger than the treatment. Also I found that the pharmaceutical version Permethrin contains petroleum which I do not believe will kill Demodex and therefore I consider it dangerous.
Chemistry of Sulfur-Containing Compounds Derived from Garlic and Their Functions
Garlic contains more sulfur than other edible vegetables, such as onions. It stores a large amount of sulfur in the form of amino acids like S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides. These amino acids are transformed into unstable intermediate alk(en)yl thiosulfinates (e.g., allicin) by alliinase. Allicin is further converted in a quick, spontaneous process to alk(en)ylsulfides, which are unique to garlic. Some of the alk(en)ylsulfides show potent physiological functions that promote health.
I also tested MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) which is a popular sulfur compound and it also showed some effectiveness but not as strong as garlic in the short test. My testing indicates Demodex reacts less to natural substances that it often encounters in a normal diet.
Testing indicates that 1 gram garlic extract taken 1 to 3 times daily separately with meals may reduce Demodex Mites over time by itself.
Diatomaceous earth (/ˌdaɪ.ətəˈmeɪʃəs/ DY-ə-tə-MAY-shəs), also known as diatomite (/daɪˈætəmaɪt/ dy-AT-ə-myte), celite, or kieselguhr, is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that can be crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. It has a particle size ranging from more than 3 mm to less than 1 μm, but typically 10 to 200 μm.[1] Depending on the granularity, this powder can have an abrasive feel, similar to pumice powder, and has a low density as a result of its high porosity. The typical chemical composition of oven-dried diatomaceous earth is 80–90% silica, with 2–4% alumina (attributed mostly to clay minerals), and 0.5–2% iron oxide.[2]
Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled microalgae, that have accumulated over millions of years.[3] It is used as a filtration aid, mild abrasive in products including metal polishes and toothpaste, mechanical insecticide, absorbent for liquids, matting agent for coatings, reinforcing filler in plastics and rubber, anti-block in plastic films, porous support for chemical catalysts, cat litter, activator in coagulation studies, a stabilizing component of dynamite, a thermal insulator, and a soil for potted plants and trees as in the art of bonsai.[4][5] It is also used in gas chromatography packed columns made with glass or metal as stationary phase.
Pest control
Diatomite is of value as an insecticide because of its abrasive and physico-sorptive properties.[26] The fine powder adsorbs lipids from the waxy outer layer of the exoskeletons of many species of insects; this layer acts as a barrier that resists the loss of water vapour from the insect’s body, damaging the layer increases the evaporation of water from their bodies, so that they dehydrate, often fatally.
Diatomaceous earth – Human Food Grade – Daily Dosage
“Daily silica needs of humans are 20-30 mg. In years past, our bodies would get enough silica from our diet. Unfortunately, many of the foods we now eat have lost their nutritional value due to soil nutrient depletion and food processing. Supplemental use of Diatomaceous Earth is essential to total body health. Take 1-2 tablespoons per day mixed with liquid or food. There is no unpleasant taste. Since it will not dissolve, stirring several times while drinking will prevent settling. I and my family take 1 heaped tablespoon per day and mix it with yogurt. Some customers put DE in protein shakes or applesauce. You may experience higher energy levels with DE usage, so it is probably better not to take it just before sleeping. There is no need to worry about taking too much – any excess silica not needed by the body is automatically eliminated through the blood stream, kidneys and intestines. As with any dust or ne powder – avoid inhalation as it can create irritation in the lungs. Avoid contact with eyes.”
A common dosage of Diatomaceous earth for adults is up to about 2 tablespoons per day. I tested from doses from 1 tsp up to 2 tablespoons 3 times per day. Since Demodex was already in a heighten state of activity due to the other treatments I was taking prior to testing Diatomaceous earth by itself I could feel reactions when I took it. No reaction by itself at 1 tsp and I had a noticeable but not excessive effect at 2 tablespoons. But as I mentioned above when I combined 1 teaspoon with 2oz milk (calcium) and 1 gram Garlic (Sulfides) I had a dangerous reaction that caused my heart rate to drop to 50 bpm for months. This would appear to indicate this combination could be capable of killing Demodex Mites completely internally provided I could find a way to for it not the kill me first.
TOXICOLOGICAL STUDIES Acute Toxicity Studies Oral In an oral study in accordance with Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test guideline (TG) 401, female Wistar rats received 300 mg/kg (1 rat) or 2000 mg/kg (5 rats) flux-calcined Diatomaceous Earth in arachis oil by gavage. 5 The purity of the test material was not stated. Clinical observations were made at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h postdosing, and then daily for 14 d. Morbidity and mortality were checked twice daily and body weights were recorded on days 0, 7, and 14. No mortalities were observed at either dose level. No signs of systemic toxicity were observed at 300 mg/kg; however, at 2000 mg/kg, clinical signs of toxicity included hunched posture in all animals and ataxia in one animal. All animals had expected body weights gains, and no abnormalities were observed at necropsy. The LD50 for Diatomaceous Earth in this study was greater than 2000 mg/kg.
For a 160 lb. / 72.5 kg person that is 72.5 X 2 grams = 145 grams. But 2000 mg/kg is not a true LD50 because “No mortalities were observed at either dose level.” Diatomaceous Earth weighs 1.5 grams per teaspoon so 145k grams/1.5 grams = 96 teaspoons / 32 tablespoons, and even at that dosage there were “No mortalities”. Over a period of a few weeks I slowly increased my dosage to many times the standard 2 tablespoon dosages.
I found Diatomaceous Earth at much higher dosages to be very harmful to Demodex Mites. It caused medium negative reactions even though I believe I had already considerably reduced my Demodex population far below the average person my age and younger before beginning this test. I could see variations in my heartbeat and blood pressure when I took much higher than the standard 2 tablespoon dosage. My testing indicates the high doses I tested could very possibly cause heart failure in someone at the levels I tested and below. However it may be one of the most likely substances to considerably reduce and/or completely kill Demodex Mites internally if dosage could be gradually increased without causing heart failure.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sometimes written sodium laurilsulfate, is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)11OSO3Na and structure H3C−(CH2)11−O−S(=O)2−O−Na+. It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products. This compound is the sodium salt of the 12-carbon organosulfate. Its hydrocarbon tail combined with a polar “headgroup” give the compound amphiphilic properties that make it useful as a detergent. SDS is also component of mixtures produced from inexpensive coconut and palm oils. SDS is a common component of many domestic cleaning, personal hygiene and cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food products, as well as of industrial and commercial cleaning and product formulations.[2]
Cleaning and hygiene
SDS is mainly used in detergents for laundry with many cleaning applications.[5] It is a highly effective surfactant and is used in any task requiring the removal of oily stains and residues. For example, it is found in higher concentrations with industrial products including engine degreasers, floor cleaners, and car exterior cleaners.[citation needed]
It is a component in hand soap, toothpastes, shampoos, shaving creams, and bubble bath formulations, for its ability to create a foam (lather), for its surfactant properties, and in part for its thickening effect.[6]
Food additive
Sodium dodecyl sulfate, appearing as its synonym sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), is considered a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) ingredient for food use according to the USFDA (21 CFR 172.822).[7] It is used as an emulsifying agent and whipping aid.[8] As an emulsifier in or with egg whites the United States Code of Federal Regulations require that it must not exceed 1,000 parts per million (0.1%) in egg white solids or 125 parts per million (0.0125%) in frozen or liquid egg whites and as a whipping agent for the preparation of marshmallows it must not exceed 0.5% of the weight of gelatine.[9] SLS is reported to temporarily diminish perception of sweetness.[10]
Pharmaceutical applications
Sodium lauryl sulfate is a widely used in the pharmaceutical field as an ionic solubilizer and emulsifier that is suitable for applications in liquid dispersions, solutions, emulsions and micro emulsions, tablets, foams and semi-solids such as creams, lotions and gels.[16] Additionally, SLS aids in tablet wettability, as well as lubrication during manufacturing. Brand names of pharma-grade SLS include Kolliphor SLS and Kolliphor SLS Fine.[17]
Mouth ulceration
A safety concern has been raised on the basis of several studies regarding the effect of toothpaste SDS on aphthous ulcers (more specifically, mouth ulcers or “canker sores”), commonly referred to as canker or white sores.[33] According to the NHS and Alessandro Villa of the Miami Cancer Institute, SLS is a cause for concern for mouth ulcers.[36][37][38] As Lippert notes, of 2013, “very few… marketed toothpastes contain a surfactant other than SLS [SDS],” and leading manufacturers continue to formulate their produce with SDS.[33] According to Allesandro Villa of the Miami Cancer Institute, one theory is that SLS disrupts the protective layer of mucus covering the mouth.[36]
I first discovered Sodium lauryl sulfate in Dawn Dishwashing liquid because of some information that I found indicating that dawn can be used to kill insects. How To Effectively Get Rid of Pests With Dawn Dish Soap Any time I found information that indicated that any type of supplement or substance can kill insects I would immediately look at the product label to see if I could identify a specific substance that might kill insects. Dawn contains quite a few chemicals on the product label but one stood out which was sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which is also known as Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). I decided to mix one teaspoon of Dawn and try it on a small irritated spot on my skin and it seemed to be helping. I started applying it to some general areas of my skin that itched and it worked very well. I ended up adding one more teaspoon which was a total of 2 teaspoon in 32 ounces of water. At that point it stopped general itching in an area almost immediately. After 5 minutes to 1 hour it would start again and I would reapply it once or twice and it would be a while before it started itching again. This was and is one the most effective treatments I found for external itching that worked so well I decided to add a little stronger concentration in some very bad private areas between my legs. It could reduce some very serious reactions better than anything else I had used at the time and so I applied too much. SLS is known to have an extremely strong drying effect and my skin started peeling about 2 layers thick for a couple of days.
Dawn includes several other ingredients that I knew could be very strong including citric acid so I decided to order cosmetic grade pure SLS to test by itself. I found it to be much milder by itself even at full concentration and I have not had any major peeling even at high concentration but it can cause considerable dryness. I do add about 8 drops of SLS to the Diatomaceous earth and ethel alcohol combination I have above which has worked very well without causing the drying I have experience with SLS.
Although I knew humans consume SLS in food and medicines it is in very small amounts and is considered dangerous
in larger amounts when consumed internally. But then I ran across an article that indicated it had been used as an internal medication in the past and a listed dosage(link ). Although I had purchased the cosmetic grade which is definitely not intended for internal use I knew what was in it and I decided to try a small amount anyway because I did not and still do not see the food grade or pharmaceutical grade available in a small amount or for less than hundreds of dollars. When I first started using the recommended dosage I was running out of alternatives for something strong enough it seemed I was getting some reduction in symptoms with no reaction. I begin slowly testing higher than recommended amounts internally and I was getting better and better effectiveness with still very little reaction but the effectiveness was starting to level out and I suspected Demodex Mites were beginning to detect it. It does have a smell similar to air freshener and a soapy taste to it and I would mix it with milk and could not taste it much at all.
I started testing SLS immediately after the reaction I had mixing milk, garlic, and Diatomaceous Earth so my heart beat rate was still staying at about 50 bpm. I worked my way up to some doses that were much higher than the recommended doses and it seemed I was possibility approaching an amount that might stop Demodex completely without excessive reactions. However it was beginning to cause more and more irregular heart beat and so I stopped using it as the main treatment but still use it in a single dose several times the recommended internal maximum. But the LD50: 1288 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) Sodium Lauryl Sulfate | C12H25NaO4S | CID 3423265 is still more than 100 times the dosage I have tested. Several of the strong treatments I used like Boron seemed to be so strong they could stop my heart long before I reached 1/10 of the LD50.
I believe SLS may be strong enough to kill Demodex Mites in a single dose and it is the only thing I have tested that may kill Demodex quickly. I had reduced Demodex significantly by the time I tested SLS and I believe someone that had not already reduced Demodex significantly before taking a very strong dose of SLS could be very likely to have a heart attack. However if medical science could conduct studies to develop a ramp up procedure to reach a high enough dosage to kill demodex with SLS it might kill them completely. Instead of me testing higher levels of SLS to see if it kills them or me first I have continued to use the combination of these 5 treatments to wear them down. If I consume 32 ounces of orange juice, along with 6 to 8 garlic extracts, 2 or 3 doses of 2 tablespoons of Diatomaceous Earth, 16 to 32 ounces of milk in small quantities separately, and one strong dose of SLS all in one day, based on my reactions I am quickly working my way up to an environment in which Demodex Mites can not survive. I do not advise anyone to try to kill Demodex Mites completely until medical science has developed a tested method to do so using these treatments I have presented or something better. BUT I do not believe it is necessary to kill Demodex Mites completely to reduce the symptoms of almost any disease, my testing indicates small doses of Citric Acid multiple times per day may considerably reduce the symptoms of almost any disease because I believe all disease is caused by the same thing.
Prescription Medications used included 0.1% Triamcinolone Acetonide, Nystatin, Fluocinonide, Metronidazole, Soolantra, Mupirocin, Cephalexin 500MG, Doxycycline Hyclate 100MG, Ivermectin, Permethrin 1% and 5%. Some I have used for years and others added more recently during the last 2+ years of this study. The effectiveness of the external prescription medications is similar to petroleum jelly after a couple of applications. The inactive base ingredient in Fluocinonide is petroleum jelly.
Summary
The primary prescriptions for Demodex have been 5% Permethrin externally and Ivermectin internally which I tested. Neither one of these was effective and that resulted in considerable reactions from Ivermectin especially under arms, around collar, and behind the knees. After testing internal medications for about 1 year I realized each time the treatment would cause more reactions and become less effective as if they could learn to avoid it then I found maybe they can (How Insects Taste Their Food – thoughtco.com).
Below I list the three types of insecticides (1)Plant based (2) Naturally Occurring (3) Scientifically created medications derived from Petroleum, Acids, etc. I realized they could avoid eating almost anything harmful they can detect in their food or they can react violently if they are surprised. I don’t think they can avoid most viruses and they don’t like surprises. This is likely the reason a vaccine works by giving them an initial exposure to a virus because viruses may harm the Bacillus Oleronius inside them. I do not believe any strong poison that they can detect like Castor Oil (Ricin), Permethrin, Ivermectin, and even Evaluation of carbamate insecticides as chemotherapeutic agents for cancer. So when I took Sage(Thujone) and Chrysanthemums(Permethrin) I had reactions vary similar to Ivermectin but I could take these two over the counter medications repeatedly together. The reactions were identical to Ivermectin and these reactions are not random. They and symmetrical side to side although not of even magnitude and they are around the high places and in the low places.
My final treatment that is the most effective includes 5 substances Milk( Calcium), Orange Juice (Citric Acid), Garlic(Sulfur/Sulfuric Acid), Diatomaceous Earth (small sharp objects), and Sodium Laurel Sulfate (Surfactant). These and not your typical poisonous insecticides or Petroleum or acid based insecticides but can be very harmful to Demodex when given in a certain manner. For example milk, orange juice, and many substances are more effective when given in very small doses as often as every hour, but some substances like Diatomaceous Earth is more effective when given in large doses every 6 to 8 hours. I will explain each one of these in detail each below. But the dosage combined dosage I am taking of these Together presently would likely be very harmful to most other people up to and including death. On one occasion when I consumed 2oz of milk, 1 gram garlic extract, and milk every hour after a few hours my blood pressure went to 200 and my heart beat dropped to 50 bpm and still has not got all the way back to 60 bpm although it has been slowly coming back up. Taking 2 ounces of milk every hour for 8 hours total of 16oz should not be harmful of course. Taking 1 gram of garlic extract every hour should not be harmful considering 5 gram single dose garlic is also available which I tried. Taking 1 tsp of Diatomaceous Earth should not be harmful consider a single dose of 2 tbs is considered a normal adult dosage. In fact I can get some reaction just taking a very small amount of many substances repeatedly every hour like milk alone. But the good news is that as little as 3 lifesavers per day has shown some significant improvement in myself and a few others.
I DO NOT SUGGEST ANYONE TRY ANY OF THE TREATMENTS I AM LISTING EXCEPT IN 2 CASES
(1) They have an incurable disease like cancer and they have exhausted all options no other treatments are available and they will die soon
(2) They have an incurable chronic disease that is unbearable with no options presently available.
Even then I would only suggest taking 3 citric acid candies per day several hours apart like lifesavers which should not be harmful but can be and is very powerful. This has been tested by me and few others with very surprising results. But I think even this small dose could be harmful to some people and would suggest others with less serious problems wait to see the results in serious cases which will probably be available on my message board. The other good thing is even with this small a dose the few people that tested this had some good results within 24 hours and very noticeable result results in 3 to 7 days. To completely eliminate Demodex is 1000 times more complex than slowing them down and reducing symptoms of possibly any disease. It is likely medical science professionals would have develop a process using this information and maybe even develop a totally different method. In my case I have been able to eliminate almost all symptoms Psoriatic Arthritis.
The Demodex Insecticide Hypothesis
Most or all medications that are effective against any disease in humans, medications that reduce pain in humans, substances that humans become addicted to, and substances that humans are allergic to, contain at least one specific substance (Insecticides/Poison, Acid/Sulfur, Hydrocarbons, Chloride/chlorine/Salt, Physical Obstructions, etc.) that is obviously harmful to Demodex Mites. The only exception are the new medications that cause the immune system to ignore the activity of Demodex Mites without reducing the population as long as you continue to take them.
Three types of insecticides I consumed:
(1) plant based (Chrysanthemums(tea), Sage, Turmeric, Neem,…)
99.99% of Pesticides We Eat Are Produced by Plants Themselves | American Council on Science and Health
Although Demodex can avoid very harmful substances they may tolerate some substances until they begin to detect them causing harm because they are very familiar with them. This includes Orange Juice (Citric Acid) and Garlic (Sulfur/Sulfuric Acid), and it includes Milk (Calcium) and Diatomaceous Earth (Sharp objects) which are both in the naturally occurring category. Castor Oil with possibility some traces of Ricin was the strongest plant insecticide I tested by far.
(2) Naturally Occurring Substances (Calcium, Diatomaceous Earth, Boron, Zinc, …)
These substances are found in nature and many of them are also found in plants in smaller quantities as the minerals are pulled into the plant in the water it draws up.
(3) Scientifically created medications derived from Petroleum, Acids,etc.

Use Trends of Oil Pesticides: Pounds Applied
Text files of data are available. The reported pounds of chemicals used that are oils. The oils category includes pesticides with a petroleum-based oil chemical (botanical oils are not included in these totals). Petroleum-base are often used as insecticides, fungicides, or adjuvants. Oils used as broad spectrum insecticides kill insects by either physically blocking their ability to breathe or affecting how they eat. Some refined petroleum-based oils are relatively lower risk than conventional pesticides and may be used in organic farming. California Department of Pesticide Regulation
The toxicological effects of petroleum spray oils on insects – evidence for an alternative mode of action and possible new control options – Electrophysiological studies confirm that oil accumulation in the nerve ganglia has the direct effect of suppressing synaptic transmission in insect ganglia as well as in the neuromuscular junctions of vertebrates (toads and rats).
I finally realized when I used one of the synthesized products externally not to leave it on for more than 1 hour or it would just aggravate Demodex mites trying to come to surface because they can detect it. There are more males than females so they try to go to another location to find a mate. They do not like synthesized medications a lot and some mites below the surface will be exposed to some degree of concentration without dying so they can mutate.
I had some or a lot of reactions the entire time I treated Demodex with anything that harms them. All reactions that I had were a result of treating Demodex with something that harms them without killing them.
When I tested pain relievers I was trying to reduce the reactions I had from taking strong poisons more than to test them because I kind of knew they might be a problem and I could tell they would be. Internally they work great the first time and less with each additional application so the reactions increase and the effectiveness decreases. What I have experience with every one of these pharmaceutical medications internally and externally is they are much stronger than plant insecticides but they will not kill Demodex mites completely and the intensity I felt and my research indicated that these very strong medications they do not kill them all of them and the ones still alive are not happy not at all. That could be what drives them to dig into areas they normally would not and although these medications are stronger they are much more likely to cause long-term problems. I do not believe these Petroleum and Acid based synthesized medications are capable of killing them completely and I stopped using any of them.
I used Coal Tar on my Psoriasis many years ago which is coal like for the grill and tar like you put on a roof and I find out now I am eating it. It is possible Tylenol could be causing a problem BUT every other Pharmaceutical produced from Petroleum is likely causing the same problem.
