All Purpose Cleaner H to the Rescue for Burns

Editors Note: This is part of a blog I found and thought you might like it too as it relates to All Purpose Cleaner H the safe cleaner that I have posted about so many times... This blogger is talking about his grandpa and how he has only half of his fingers left, because of accidents. I would imagine Grandma has just about given up worring about him at this point... Here is the story..

This is same man who was working on his car and something under the hood exploded and his whole upper body was engulfed in flames. He was flailing about in the driveway and my grandma came running out and poured a gallon of Basic H over his head and body and he walked away with no scarring whatsoever, just the hair singed off.

All Purpose Cleaner H is a “wonder” product used and endorsed by everyone in my family. The story goes that the vitamin mogul Dr. --- was so frugal that he wanted virtually no waste or byproducts in his factory so he created All Purpose Cleaner H which is the runoff of all the vitamins that are produced. It is a highly concentrated liquid vitamin. I was taught that it is a cure-all and pushed to use it for everything from mouth wash to bug spray to colon irrigation. I will attest that it works wonderfully for poison ivy, sunburns, and bubble baths. But it tasted like shit when grandma tried to pour it on my cereal every morning.

Editors note again: My children would also attest to the fact that I use Barefoot Secret Products for "everything" I wouldn't ever try to get them to eat All Purpose Cleaner H on their cereal though. Grandma must have thought her grandson had worms...that would be the only reason I could think of that she would do this.

Herbal Laxative Prevents and 'Cures' Colic in Horses

George & DeDe Shaw did a tape several years ago about his horses and exactly what he gives them. I bet if you call Frontrunners---800-237-5199---- they might still have it, or perhaps
would resurrect it.

Written By Annie Whitney

HERBAL LAXATIVE PREVENTS AND 'CURES' COLIC!!!!!!!!!!!! This is NOT NOT endorsed by
the manufacturer, or maybe not even studied by them, but I have used Herbal Laxative for over 27 years
and have not lost one horse to colic. Colic is the #1 killer of horses. There are
many things that bring it on, and i can't say that it helps all kinds of colic, but i can say
that the kinds of colic i have experienced is HAS helped!!! And dozens of my horse
friends use it with great success too. Some are a little afraid and end up calling the vet
anyway, but the only time i called the vet in a VERY bad case, the vet got lost and the
horse was 100% fine by the time he finally showed. Some vets are still sceptical, others
are very excited about the prospects........
I first heard about this from a man who came to me wanting 20 cases of Herbal Laxative. His
dad had a feed lot, and he was amazed that i didn't know about it's benefits on colic and
scours (deadly diarrhea in calves, foals, and lambs.........). I was sorry i hadn't known
about it before!!!! My childhood horse died of colic before I knew about the manufacturer............

For colic prevention--------give 3-10 daily in feed. Some will be picky at first, but you
can start with one and work up.
OR, put an entire bottle in the blender, and sprinkle a bit
on the grain or other feed they like. Equine senior is terrific for feeding any supplement!!!!

Some love it right out of your hand!!! MOST horses with colic histories do just fine with 5 a day, but occasionally some need more. Especially important when the weather gets cold, many horses seem to colic more then.
One of my mares, and my neighbor's stallion, get 5 every day 365 days a year. i also give them 1/2 cup bran daily.
I keep 2 bottles of 'blended' Herbal laxative on hand at all times!!!! One in our barn, one in the
first-aid kit I take with me everywhere. (I also give each dog one herbal laxative every day for cleansing and de-toxing; and one Liver Detoxifier 3 times a week........)

For colic 'cure'-----------into a drinking glass, 2/3 full of water, add 2 drops All Purpose Cleaner H (makes that water wetter!!!!!!!!) and about 25-30 Herbal laxative. i just pour the powder, about
1/4 to 1/5 of the bottle (old small one...... now I only buy the big size!!!!!.) Stir well. Stand up higher than the horse (on a 55 gallon barrel, or something of similar height), hold their head up (I put the lead rope over my shoulder and try to have an assistant to help, but can be done alone just fine) and using a Turkey Baster, squirt the mixture into the back of their mouth and massage till they swallow. The reason you are up high is to fascilitate the stuff going down the horse and not all over you!!!
If the colic pain is especially bad, I give 10 cc. Banamine IM before I start the Herbal laxative routine. Walk the horse for about 15-45 minutes, or until they are better. The longest I have ever had a horse stay colicy is 45 min; most are much better in 15-30 min. some say it is best to just let the horse stand and not walk.....

I have also had 2 experiences with major colic from horses getting into Large amounts of grain. Foundering is an added serious problem (heat in the hoof walls that can cause terminal
lameness). With both horses, they got the Herbal laxative routine along with a bottle of
crushed Cal-Complex (helps disperse gas), given several times a day. One horse I stood in
snow, the other I packed his hooves with ice (because it was summer). Both were pretty sick for over 24 hours, but had full recoveries!!!! I gave them a couple of treatments in the night also.
It takes a lot of work and diligence on your part (and being ever-mindful and alert to the early symptoms of colic), but I have personally had 100% success so far. I have saved thousands of dollars over the years, and my horses as well!!! I'd be willing to bet that my success rate is MUCH higher than just about any vet!!! I am sure there are some forms of colic that don't respond to this routine, but I haven't run into them yet. If we could only get every horse owner to keep Herbal laxative on hand, and use faithfully as a prevention as well as a 'cure,' I am sure we would see colic lose it's place as #1 killer!!!!!!!!!!

My accupuncture vet friend from Minn. was surprised that none of my horses had sore liver points when he first came to see them; we attribute a lot of that to the cleansing power of Herbal laxative!!!!!!! strongid, a daily wormer, is known to cause toxic reactions to the accupuncture points but I have never had any horse on herbal laxative have sore points!!!!!!!

For scours-------in water, put 2 drops All Purpose Cleaner H and 2 Herbal laxative. Apply with a Turkey
Baster. Repeat 2 or 3 times. Very occasionally, you may have to repeat more, but 1-3
times usually does it!!!
Remember, this is not endorsed by the Manufacturer or anyone else 'official,' but it sure has
worked for me for 27+ years now!!!!!!!!!!!

I use All Purpose H for fly (all bugs) spray!!!!!!!! In a pint or quart spray bottle, fill 1/5 to 1/3
with All Purpose H, and the rest water, with a few drops of pennyroyal oil or citronella oil. Good for mosquitoes too! Put straight All Purpose H on horse ears and dog ears and around your ears too, as well as your hair line, to keep away gnats and mosquitoes!!!!!! NO toxins to enter the body thru the largest organ, the skin.

All Purpose H is also a fabulous WOUND & PROUD FLESH dressing…. I first heard about this from a friend whose prize appolossa was caught in a barbed wire fence out on a ride. They got him out, and all she had was a 4-oz bottle of H, with which she soaked the wound…..it was healing so well that they only used All Purpose H the entire time. I have personally used it many times with fabulous success!!! my most recent H Wound Dressing experience with LAST WEEK!!!!!! i was in orlando at the FABULOUS manufacturer convention when tom called to say our old mare, pilar, had been gored in the rear end by one of the neighbor's ''visiting'' bison. tom sent me a photo on email and it looked as if it did not need stitches, only lots of H applied to the wound. coming soon........ a web page dedicated to ''Tom's Buffalo Shuffle.''

And for Proud Flesh, simply apply to the entire area, full strength, for approximately one week. Even very serious cases of proud flesh begin to shrink and then close up in a couple of days. AND I have soaked bandaids with H and used on my own cuts; not only heals well, but in the beginning it takes away the pain and reduces the bleeding. Thank you Dr.--- for such an amazing product!!!!!!! (and for burns, MIRACULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!)

For horses with Mange or other skin fungi, a bath with Germacide works great!!!! I leave on
the skin for a few minutes, then rinse well. I also put some in the laundry when washing
the saddle blankets and cinches.

H and the Industral strength cleaner are fabulous for cleaning tack. Just a little bit on a wet toothbrush
will take away the grime which builds up in tooled leather. 'Rinse' well, then finish off
with a leather conditioner.

Two horses with pink noses get Sunblock 30!!!!!!!!

Joint Health supplement is excellent for horses as well as dogs. Various glucosamine products are for sale, both over the counter as well as prescription. Joint Health Supplement is not only the most concentrated for the money, but also works VERY well!!!

ps----my Reining horse got Workout Maximizer Supplement after every strenuous workout!!! he wouldl eat it
right up in grain, tho in the beginning I would have to give it with the ever-faithful turkey baster. Rhett is a somewhat slight Arabian, but what muscles he developed!!!!

Biodegradability of Barefoot's Safe Cleaning Products

We have questions asked about the Biodegradable of Barefoot's CleaningProducts all the time and what does that little number inside the triangle mean on cleaning products that you buy.

The following information from the Manufacturer Science Department might help you to better understand this.
FYI . . . the number inside the triangle has nothing to do with the biodegradable of the product inside. It merely identifies the level of biodegradability of the container.

Biodegradation is the destruction of organic chemical compounds by thebiological action of living organisms. Untimately, the organic matter is converted to carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts and products associatedwith the normal metabolic processes of the bacteria. Thus, in this processcomplex matter is generally reconverted back to its primary building blocksin nature. And the cycle continues.

Fo the manufacturer, the goal is to formulate cleaning products, which not only contain biodegradable cleaning agents, but with auxiliary builders (boosters)that, ultimately, undergo breakdown as well. In addition to ultimate break-down, the speed of the biodegradation process is also a critical factor.According to test protocol developed by the Organization for EconomicCooperation and Development (DECD) group of experts, any product in which at least 60% of its organic chemical load biodegrades within 28days under standard test conditions, is not only Biodegradable, but conforms to the requirement for Readily Biodegradable status.

For the Barefoot line of cleaning products, test results validate the claimof Readily Biodegradable for every product except the Germacide and the Fabric softner. For the Fabric Softner, biodegradation does occur, too slowly,however, to be classified as Readly Biodegradable.

Unfortunately, the current technology for our disposal for this product lacks softening agents, which meet the requirements for Readly Biodegradable status.However, we remain vigilant to new technologies, which may satisfy requirements for both softening effectiveness and quick biodegradation.In the case of the Germacide, the germicidal ingredients are, by necessity, not readily biodegradable. If they were, they would not effectively kill ordisinfect the target organisms. This is generally true for all germicidal products.

In summary, Barefoot's cleaners are formulated with the safest, most effective,non-toxic and biodegradable ingredients available. Our continuing effortis to include those ingredients which degrade naturally into the basic building blocks of carbon dioxide and water, thus minimizing contam-ination of wastewater systems, rivers and lakes.

Are You Taking your B's? Do They Make a Difference?

Yes, they do!
In 1998 the March of Dimes teamed up with the Center for Disease Control to deliver a public health message: woman of child bearing years should take 400 mcg of the vitamin daily. It is a simple act of preventative medicine that cuts the risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida more than 50% in developing fetus’s.
Awareness of the supplements benefit have increased dramatically, while in 1995 only ½ of woman ages 18-45 even knew what folic acid was, that figure has jumped up to 77%. By 2004 the number of woman taking their daily dose rose up to 40% and all time high. Did this folic-acids advice reduce birth defects as intended? As a matter if fact the CDC reports that 2 major types of neueral – tube defects have dropped by 25%!!


Cited from Time Magazine Sept 27th, 2004 – by Sara Song



Patented Folic Acid Coating - B-Complex... Healthy Hearts, Healthy Babies, & Still More Folic acid, a critical B vitamin, isn't easily absorbed, so Shaklee developed a unique folic acid coating that makes the nutrient more accessible and bioavailable. This patented technology is a Shaklee exclusive.

Help the Neighbor...It all comes back around

Growing Good Corn...a tale of helping others

There was a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked. "Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.

If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn." He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves. So it is in other dimensions.

Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

In-Car Air Pollution May Raise Health Risks

Dirty air inside cars may be especially hazardous to people with health problems.

Spending a lot of time in your car may put your heart’s health at risk. A new study shows that prolonged exposure to dirty air inside vehicles could trigger potentially dangerous changes in heart function.
Prior studies have shown that exposure to fine airborne particulate matter is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality in older and cardiac patients. But now, researchers say air pollution levels inside cars which are generally lower than outside, may also increase the risk of heart attack or stroke in people with existing health problems by changing the way the heart functions.
The study showed that exposure to in-car air pollution caused changes, such as increased markers of inflammation and increased blood clotting proteins, variations in heart rate, and other changes in the functioning of the cardiovascular system, in nine healthy state highway patrol troopers who worked in their cars.
In a study, which appears in the April issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers equipped each of the North Caroline State Highway Patrol cars with air quality monitors. Overall, researchers say that the troopers were in excellent health and appeared to be at low risk for heart or other health problems. But they found prolonged exposure to air pollution inside the troopers’ vehicles prompted changes in the heart rate that could be hazardous in less healthy individuals.
Researchers say those changes do not seem desirable and show that exposure to in-car pollutants “should be minimized”.

Editor Note: The above excerpt was from an article written by Jennifer Warner, WebMD Medical News. With the AirSource Mobile unit you’ve got the best way to minimize your exposure to in-car pollutants. The AirSource Mobile conveniently plugs into your car lighter and fits in a normal car cup holder, and when you get to a hotel you plug it into an electrical outlet providing you with fresh clean air wherever you go.

Barefoot Secret Cleaners and the Self Cleaning Bathroom

Do you want to avoid the noxious fumes and chemicals in most cleaners?
Do you want to save money on your cleaning supplies?
Would you like to help the environment?
Are you tired of cleaning your bathroom?

You can have a self-cleaning bathroom and accomplish all of the above by using scientifically tested, clinically proven, and effective Barefoot Secret environmentally safe cleaning products.
All cleaners are highly concentrated. Instead of paying for the shipment of water like most cleaners, you save when you dilute the concentrates with your own water. For example 16 oz. of window cleaner costs less than a penny, 16 oz. of all- purpose cleaner is less than $.03 and 16 oz. of our disinfectant is less than $.05!
An average family of 4 will save over $200/year on their cleaning supplies when they switch to Barefoot's Secret Cleaners.
The cleaners are powerful against dirt, yet gentle on the environment. They are completely biodegradable--which means ALL elements of the product return to a natural state unlike some other “biodegradable” cleaners where only the surfactants or cleaning agents are biodegradable.

The cleaners break down completely within 30 days. They are safe for septic systems. All Purpose H household cleaner was the only cleaner named an official Earth Day product. The germicide is clinically proven to kill over 33 pathogens (bacteria, fungus and virus) including strep, staph, feline leukemia, canine distemper, and E-coli. It has a 3-day residual effectiveness compared to 1 hour for chlorine bleach.
None of our cleaners are flammable. The residue from your current disinfectant may leave a flammable surface.
Barefoot's Secret cleaners are water based, not petroleum based. They leave no residue or film to re-attract dirt and grime. You clean less frequently; cleaning is easier, and your floors won’t be sticky.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SELF-CLEANING BATHROOM...This is a one-time-a-year procedure! Once you have completed this over-all clean up, you can sit back, relax, and never have to do this big job again! To get rid of build-up of soap residue in showers, on tiles, bathtubs, sinks, etc.
Use a wet S Miracle pad with Scrubber and plenty of warm water. Rub or brush gently, and enjoy the fragrance! Rinse with clear water. Wipe down with a solution of 1 TB Germicide per 1 gallon of water to kill mildew. If mildew is lodged in grouting or seams, brush with full strength Germicide, let set one hour, then rinse.

Need more brightening/whitening? Make a paste using Dishwasher Cleanser or Laundry Brightener and Scrubber, brush on, let set, rinse.
To get rid of film on mirrors and windows. Mix 2-4 drops of All Purpose H in 16 oz. water in a spray bottle. If you have been using other glass cleaners, you may get streaks until the oil residue they leave is cleaned off with the new All Purpose H solution.
Be sure you use only drops when mixing. This works great for dusting, also. Spray on your dust rag and dust even your best wood furniture.

To Disinfect. Mix 1/2 tsp Germicide in l6oz water in a spray bottle. Use this to wipe the outside of garbage pails, diaper pails, bathroom vanity, kitchen sinks, toilet, etc.
For best results, let sit for 10 minutes. It’s a great deodorizer as well as a disinfectant.
Spray throughout the house to kill viruses, etc.

To minimize clean-up in the sink area. Once soap residue is removed with Scrubber, use Meadow Blend Bar or Meadow Blend Hand and Body Lotion from now on to not only to get your hands clean, but to leave no film. It is effective yet so gentle to your skin.

Also, using only Organice Dentifrice Spearmint or Wintergreen toothpaste/dentifrice keeps your sink area looking great, too. Not only is Organic Dentifrice a powerful cleanser for teeth (found to be superior in cleaning when compared by a leading dental research institute with the two leading toothpastes on the market today), but it is so economical that one container can replace two family-sized tubes.

To eliminate any cleaning in shower--on walls or doors--from spots.
After soap residue is removed, use only Barefoot's products because they can’t leave film or spots.
You can bathe with Soap Fre^e Bar or Liquid, Shampoo & Baby Bath, Shower Gel, All Purpose H, or yes even Satin dishwasing liquid!. Your skin will feel great since these plant-based products are soap free, effective, and totally safe.
When you use only Barefoot's Natural Shampoos and Conditioners, there will be no ugly residue collecting in your tub and on the tile or glass walls. None of these products leaves any bathtub ring.
Isn’t that exciting? These products are very kind to sensitive skin, including baby’s. Yet Barefoot's cleaning products have passed every state’s tests for biodegradability and non-pollution.

Many competitors’ cleaners take 10 years to decompose. Barefoot's cleaners return to nature in less than 30 days. Barefoot's cleaners are also Kosher Certified for purity and ingredient labeling.
"It isn't enough to cherish what we have. One by one, (two by two, or three by three) we must actively protect the earth by living responsibly.”
Barefoot's Products for a Healthy and Self Cleaning Bathroom:All Purpose H Household Cleaner, Germicide, Scrubber, Soap Free cleansing and/or Hand and Body Lotion, Natural Shampoo and Conditioner, Organic Dentifrice

Fire Ants and All Purpose H (& Non-Toxic Weed Killer)

Non-Toxic Bug Killer or Repellent...
Are you being invaded by tiny ants, carpenter ants, etc.?

Mix 1 Tablespoon liquid dish detergent (H) and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (to make it stick) in 1 quart of water. Spray around basement drains, baseboards,doors, windows, or other areas where bugs are entering.

This is supposed to work on most bugs. It is recommended that you repeat approximately once amonth or so. This can also be sprayed on plants and lawns and as a foggerfor mosquitoes.

(Info. from local TV health segment) I had a customer that continued to have problems even after an exterminator treated areas outside her home. Ants were continuing to enter her home. She was thrilled when the above mixture resolved her problem without havingto use any toxic chemicals.
I have also used my standard Germicide solution or All Purpose Cleaner H countertop solution to spray and kill ants that have entered.

Non-Toxic Weed Killer...

Dissolve a full box of table salt in one gallon of white vinegar (remove about two cups of vinegar to allow room for the salt). Mix well, add 8 drops of dishwashing liquid, and top it off with the vinegar you just removed. Saturate weeds with a spray of this mixture. (For mature weeds orgrass, additional applications will probably be necessary).

This acts as a soil sterilizer so if you clean an area of weeds with it, wait a few weeksto replant. Also, without the eight drops, the weeds won't absorb themixture, so don't skip the dishwashing liquid.
This works great in the spring when plants are young. A good resource for other uses of H & Germicide is the Manufacturer Mixture & Usage Guide that can be purchased through Frontrunners. They include recipes (from the Field) for treating lawns for fleas and grubs, flea dip for dogs,fly spray for horses and cows (I use on dogs - cover eyes before spraying on head), garden and plant care, etc.... My friend also uses H & G on fruit trees.

Barefoot's safe Germicide Sets the standard again..

Nelson's Shaklee ON-Liner News for the following testimonial.

Just thought I would write a little note about the Effectiveness of Germicide.

"As you know, I clean our church. When I first started cleaning, I was using all the products they already had there, which included: Lysol, Windex, Comet, and other products I had never heard of before. To save the church money, I decided to just use up all these products and then move onto bigger and better stuff later. Well, I noticed that when I would go back a few days later to re-clean, the toilets always had a horrible blackish/pinkish ring growing in the bowl, and the urine smell in the men's room was always very strong.No matter how much Lysol I used, the ring always reappeared and the smell never got better.

Well, about 6 months ago, the Lysol products finally ran out. I started using Germicide!!!!!! You wouldn't believe the difference. No more rings and no more odors in the men's rooms. I can come back days later, and the toilet bowls are sparkling clean. Best of all, the staff at the church think I am a great cleaner!

EQUINE NUTRITIONAL PROGRAM This program is based on recommendations by George Shaw of Elkhorne, Wisconsin, horseman for 30 years. This program uses only natural food supplements. A 30 day supply of basic mix for one horse contains: 1 bottle of Multi Vitamin Powder [300g] 670 tablets of Alfalfa -grind in a blender and add: 2 cans of Vanilla Soy Protein Powder -mix together and store in container Put ¼ cup in morning feed and ¼ cup in evening feed. After 2 weeks increase to ½ cup per feed. Developing foals need: Basic mix of Protein, Vita Lea, Cal-Mag Plus. Colts mature at a faster rate, have less colt soreness, have a lesser frequency Of splints and a natural shine to their coat. Older horses show less fatigue after racing, their attitude remains good and their Down time is much less when they are sick. Horses under stress, with racetrack bleeder syndrome or fractures need: 1 bottle of Vita C - 100 added to mix. Horses with arthritis, fractures, and brood mares need: 1 bottle of Calcium-Magnesium Plus [130 tablets] added to mix. Horses that are nervous, mean or lazy need: 1 bottle of B-Complex added to mix. Horses with circulation problems and tying-up syndrome need: 1 bottle of Vita E 200 [90 capsules] added to mix.

TIPS FOR IN THE BARN Teat Dip For a good wash - use ½ ounce H ½ ounce Germicide 4 gallons water for average herds [50-60 cows] use ½ tsp Basic H ½ tsp Basic G 1 gallon water Wash with rag, not paper towel - saves $$ Cuts & scrapes Apply H directly on the wound. This will stop infections and help heal. Fly Spray 1 quart of H 4 quarts water Spray where it is needed. Fly Spray for fogger: 3 quarts linseed oil [use very light oil] 1 quart H 1 tbsp Germicide Spray where this is needed. This mixture will not harm your livestock. DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY INTO EYES. The chemicals mentioned will work with H, but in no way will conservation update recommend them. Use chemical waste products at your own risk. Information will be available in future issues of C.U.P. concerning Basic H and chemicals.

Barefoot's Laundry Brightner Removes Stains on Corion

I'm always so excited when I discover another use for our wonderful products. We have Corian counters and a corian sink in our kitchen. As anyone who has a white corian sink knows...it can get very stained. Of course "Scrubber" will take out the stains but one day I got to thinking about our wonderful Nature Bright. With all the super specials, I now have extra Laundry Brightner
Well, I sprinkled some (LB) on my sink surface (after I rinsed the sink out) and let it sit. A few minutes later, I came back, swished everything with my Super Sponge and NO MORE STAINS!!Now I keep an old salt shaker full of laundry brightner right on top on my sink and sprinkle my magic whenever I want! ...

Vet Uses Barefoot Secret Products with Great Results!

This is a personal testimonial about the wonderful germicidal cleaner. There are two employees at my clinic that are very sensitive to chemical odors. Since we have been using the Germicide, there have been no complaints of headaches from chemical fumes. G is also a great cleaning product. The kennel help indicates that it removes dried blood better than any product that we have used in the past. The clinic uses G in the mop buckets, so we are able to disinfect the floors of the clinic throughout the day. I personally use All Purpose H to wash my hands between patients. In the past my hands have been dry, red, and cracked from washing with harsh soaps. All Purpose H doesn't strip the natural protective coating from one's skin. My hands are all healed. They aren't cracked or dry. I have also been using Barefoot's Secret nutritional products to help animals with allergies, and hip dysplasia. I have been quite happy with the results.Barefoot's Secret Joint health is the best glucosamine product on the market. It has worked better than I expected it to work in dogs with hip dysplasia.
