  • 10 Less Serious Reasons to Zap

    10 Less Serious Reasons to Zap

     

    You may have heard about Hulda Clark from a friend or family member. You may have come across any one of her books audaciously titled “The Cure For All Cancers,” “The Cure for HIV and AIDS,” and “The Cure For All Diseases,” among many others. You may have filed that bit of information in your brain for “Someday” when you need it, if you ever need it, which you may not, after all you’re healthy, you don’t have cancer, HIV, or any debilitating disease. You eat well, you exercise, you’re living the life.

    When I came across Hulda Clark’s book, “The Cure For All Cancers,” in 1997, I was 24 years old. My grandfather had been diagnosed with lymphoma the summer prior, went through aggressive chemotherapy that fall, and died of pneumonia that winter. I was disenchanted with the medical industry. Hulda Clark showed me an alternative to the way cancer was being treated by the doctors. It was knowledge I would apply to my family’s approach to cancer moving forward, but I was a relatively healthy young woman at the time. I didn’t have any dramatic condition to turn around.

    I decided that I would put my new knowledge to use anyway. I had some minor health problems to tackle. The first step was learning how to zap. My husband built a zapper and I used it. It was an easy change to my lifestyle. It didn’t hurt and all it took was a few minutes of my time. Through the years, I slowly changed my daily habits. I cleaned up my diet, body products, and environment. I replaced harmful dentistry as I was able to afford it. It is now over twenty years since I started. At 46 years old, I’m Mom to a teenager who doesn’t know life without a Hulda Clark Zapper and has had the benefit of growing up with healthy habits and in a household set up according to lifestyle recommendations published in Hulda Clark’s books.

    Hulda Clark wrote her books for people who were very ill but the healthy and health-minded can benefit from it as well. You don’t have to wait until you have cancer before you zap. Here are:

    10 Less Serious Reasons to Zap

    (Everyone is different and may react differently to the Hulda Clark Zapper based on unique conditions and environmental circumstances. As a merchant I cannot make any medical claims regarding our product. The following are my personal experiences and opinions.)

    1. Skin problems. I had acne as a teenager. By the age of 24 I had been to several dermatologists, taken one kind of antibiotic after another, and been subjected to various facial treatments. I zapped for about a year, during which my skin improved for a bit, then backpedaled into breakouts that made me not only doubt whether the Hulda Clark Zapper was effective, but also wonder if it was making it worse. I persevered, thinking I had nothing to lose anyway. It was already a year past when I started zapping before I realized, that I couldn’t remember the last time my skin had broken out. My skin has remained clear since.
    2. Eye infections. More than once while out on a walk I got dust in my eye, scratched it, and turned it into a stye or infection. I used the Hulda Clark Zapper to bring that infection down.
    3. Cold, cough, sinus infections. No matter how healthy you are, no one is immune from this. I know when I’ve overextended myself, overworked, and overexposed myself to infection. Usually a sore throat alarms me to this. I try to get ahead of it by zapping immediately. Once I get symptoms, I know it’s my immune system flushing the germs out of me. What takes a regular person two weeks to clear takes only a matter of days with the help of the zapper.
    4. Ear infections. I’m not prone to ear infections, but my husband and daughter are. A change in the seasons, getting water in the ear from swimming, or a cold can cause them. I’ve written a blog post about ear infections here, which includes a video of my daughter talking about her experience.
    5. Flu and fevers. As I mentioned above, my daughter doesn’t know life without a Hulda Clark Zapper. Anytime we’ve come down with a flu or fever, we zap, we rest, we take good care of ourselves. I’ve written about flu and fevers here.
    6. Headaches, migraines, muscle aches and inflammation. I believe the Hulda Clark Zapper brings down inflammation. We zap, we rest, we take good care of ourselves and get better.
    7. Food or water poisoning. If you ever travel or go out to eat, you are opening yourself up to anything that could get you. Undercooked meats, unsanitary conditions, unhealthy kitchen personnel. That’s why we keep a Hulda Clark Zapper in the car. I went to a family picnic once when my cousin had eaten a dairy dish that had sat in the sun too long. She was bent over purple-lipped close to the trash bin. I got the zapper out of the car and got her zapping while chit-chatting. Before she knew it her face had regained color and she was talking and animated again.
    8. Cold sores and cuts. We avoid infecting our cuts or cold sores by zapping. That pink puffy inflammation around cuts and cold sores go down. The body heals faster.
    9. Menstrual cramps. I have come to rely on zapping as a way to take care of myself that I reach for it as soon as I get any kind of pain. Menstrual cramps is one of them. I lay in bed and zap, rest, take good care of myself during that time of the month.
    10. Urinary Tract Infection. As a sexually active young woman newly wed, I used to get UTI, yeast, and vaginal infections. Back then I went to my doctor and got prescribed antibiotics, which messed with my birth control pills, and may have been contributing to the problem. Ever since I started zapping regularly, these problems went away. Of course I was also drinking more water and practicing better pee-after-sex hygiene to prevent these types of infections, but once in a while when it caught me, I used the Hulda Clark Zapper to get my body back to health.

    The Hulda Clark Zapper is a device that emits a frequency that is meant to destroy microorganisms. Hulda Clark researched and published her findings on the use of the zapper for very debilitating and some terminal diseases, but there are other ways the Hulda Clark Zapper has helped me and many people around the world.

    What about you? Are there other Less Serious Reasons you use a Hulda Clark Zapper?

  • Zinc Oxide for Diaper Rash

    Zinc Oxide for Diaper Rash

    Along the lines of caring for our baby the best way we know how is the treatment of diaper rash. No matter how careful or diligent a parent one is, there is no avoiding an incident or two of baby developing diaper rash. Perhaps it’s an allergic reaction to something baby ate, or a soiled diaper unchanged while traveling. Early on when we were experimenting with different brands of disposable diapers, we discarded certain brands that irritated our baby’s bottom into a rash.

    At the same time that we were searching for better brands of diapers, we were also looking at diaper rash ointments. The most popular one is Desitin, an over the counter zinc oxide ointment that can be found at any local drug store. I read all the ingredients, and did not find the inactive ingredients very appealing, particularly the petroleum base. It seems counteractive to have a known allergen and skin irritant as the base of an ointment that’s supposed to treat a diaper rash.

    Luckily I found a product from the Self Health Resource Center, a company reputed to provide pure and petroleum-free products. It is labeled as Deodorant, but it is simply zinc oxide in powder form inside a plastic container. I just add water and shake it. Whatever cream winds up on the cap of the container, I dip my finger on and apply on my baby’s rash. It is so amazingly effective. Overnight, the rash is gone. If it’s a really bad rash, it peels the next day, then disappears shortly.

    It is also very cheap. I still haven’t finished the original container I bought in the very beginning, and my baby’s almost a year old. The zinc oxide cream dries up after a while, so I just keep adding water, shaking it and using what winds up on the cap.

    I wholeheartedly recommend the Deodorant Zinc Oxide for use as a diaper rash cream.

    Eye liner and Eyebrow Pencil

    Get a pure charcoal pencil (black only) at an art supply store. Try several on yourself (bring a small mirror) in the store to see what hardness suits you. You may need to wet it with water or a Vitamin E perle first. Don’t put any chemicals on your eyelids, since this penetrates into your eye. To check this out for yourself, close your eye tightly and then dab lemon juice on your eyelid. It will soon burn! Everything that is put on skin penetrates. Otherwise the nicotine patch and estrogen patch wouldn’t work. Not even soap belongs on your eyelids! Charcoal pencils are cheap. Get yourself half a dozen different kinds so you can do different things.

    You could also use a capsule of activated charcoal. Empty it into a saucer. Mix glycerin and water, half and half, and add it to the charcoal powder until you get the consistency you like. Use a brush for eyelashes; use a finger for eyebrows.

    Lipstick

    Beet root powder
    100% vegetable glycerin

    Combine 1 tsp. vegetable glycerin and 1 tsp. beet root powder in a saucer. Stir until perfectly smooth. Then add 1/2 tsp. of vitamin E oil. Snip open vitamin E capsules or buy vitamin E oil. Very thick olive oil can be substituted. Apply liberally with your finger or a lipstick brush. Do not purse or rub your lips together after application. To make the lipstick stay on longer, apply 1 layer of lipstick, then dab some cornstarch over the lips, then apply another layer of lipstick. Store in a small glass or plastic container in the refrigerator, tightly covered in a plastic bag.

    Face Powder

    Use cornstarch from the original box. You may also try arrow root starch or potato starch. Use your fingers or a tissue to apply because applicators can carry bacteria.

    Blush (face powder in a cake form)

    Add 50% glycerin to cornstarch in a saucer to make paste. Slowly add beet root powder to the desired color. Use part of a charcoal capsule to darken it, if desired. A drop of food grade alcohol will also darken it. To make 50% glycerin, add equal parts of glycerin and water. Try to make the consistency the same as your brand name product, and you can even put it back in your brand name container.

    excerpt from The Cure For All Diseases
    © 1995 by Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D. N.D.

    “You can use just borax (like 20 Mule Team Borax TM) and washing soda (like Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda TM for all types of cleaning including your body, laundry, dishes and your house! You don’t need all of those products you see in commercials for each special task!

    Even if you have dry skin, difficult hair or some other unique requirement, just pure borax will satisfy these needs. A part of every skin problem is due to the toxic elements found in the soaps themselves. For instance aluminum is commonly added as a “skin moisturizer.” It does this by impregnating the skin and attracting water, giving the illusion of moist skin. In fact you simply have moist aluminum stuck in your skin which your immune system must remove. While borax won’t directly heal your skin or complexion, it does replace the agents that are causing damage, so that healing can occur.

    Borax Liquid Soap

    Empty 1 gallon jug

    1/8 cup borax powder

    Plastic funnel

    Funnel the borax into the jug, fill with cold tap water. Shake a few times. Let settle. In a few minutes you can pour off the clear part into dispenser bottles. This is the soap!

    Easier way: use any bottle, pour borax powder to a depth of a 1/2 inch or so. Add water. Shake. When you have used it down to the undissolved granules, add more water and shake again. Add more borax when the undissolved granules get low.

    Keep a dispenser by the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and shower. It does not contain aluminum as regular detergents and soaps do, and which probably contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. It does not contain PCBs as many commercial and health food varieties do. It does not contain cobalt (the blue or green granules) which causes heart disease and draws cancer parasites to the skin. Commercial detergents and non-soaps are simply not safe. Switch to homemade bar soap and borax for all your tasks! Borax inhibits the bacterial enzyme urease and is therefore antibacterial. It may even clear your skin of blemishes and stop your scalp from itching.

    For Laundry

    Borax (1/2 cup per load). It is the main ingredient of non-chlorine bleach and has excellent cleaning power without fading colors. Your regular laundry soap may contain PCBs, aluminum, cobalt and other chemicals. These get rubbed into your skin constantly as you wear your clothing. For bleaching (only do this occasionally) use original chlorine bleach (not “new improved” or “with special brighteners,” and so forth). Don’t use chlorine if there is an ill person in the house. For getting out stubborn dirt at collars, scrub with homemade
    bar soap first; for stains, try grain alcohol, vinegar, baking
    soda.”

    “Shampoo

    Borax liquid is ready to use as shampoo, too. It does not lather but goes right to work removing sweat and soil without stripping your color or natural oils. It inhibits scalp bacteria and stops flaking and itching. Hair gets squeaky clean so quick;ly (just a few squirts does it) that you might think nothing has happened! You will soon be accustomed to non-lathery soap. Rinse very thoroughly because you should leave your scalp slightly acidic. Take a pint container to the shower with you. Put 1/4 tsp. citric (not ascorbic) acid crystals in it. For long hair use a quart of rinse. Only citric acid is strong enough to get the borax out, lemon juice and vinegar are not. After shampooing, fill the container with water and rinse. Rinse your whole body, too, since citric acid is also anti-bacterial. All hair shampoo penetrates the eye lids and gets into the eyes although you do not feel it. It is important to use this natural rinse to neutralize the shampoo in your eyes. (Some people have stated that citric acid makes their hair curlier or reddens it. If this is undesirable, use only half as much citric acid.) Citric acid also conditions and gives body and sheen to hair.

    Hair Spray

    I don’t have a recipe that holds your hair as well as the bottle of chemicals you can buy at the store. Remarkably a little lemon juice (not from a bottle) has some holding power and no odor! Buy a 1 cup spray bottle. Squeeze part of a lemon, letting only the clear juice run into bottle. Fill with water. Keep it in the refrigerator. Make it fresh every week. Spraying with just plain water is nearly as good! For shinier hair, drop a bit of lemon peel into the bottle.

    Homemade Soap

    A small plastic dishpan, about 10″ x 12″

    A glass or enamel 2-quart saucepan

    1 can of lye (sodium hydroxide), 12 ounces

    3 pounds of lard (BHT and BHA are ok here)

    Plastic gloves

    Water

    • Pour 3 cups of very cold water (refrigerate water overnight first) into the 2-quart saucepan.
    • Slowly and carefully add the lye, a little bit at a time, stirring it with a wooden or plastic utensil. (Use plastic gloves for this; test them for holes first.) Do not breathe the vapor or lean over the container or have children nearby. Above all use no metal. The mixture will get very hot. In olden days, a sassafras branch was used to stir. imparting a fragrance and insect deterrent for mosquitos, lice, fleas, ticks.
    • Let cool at least one hour in a safe place. Meanwhile, the unwrapped lard should be warming up to room temperature in the plastic dishpan.
    • Slowly and carefully, pour the lye solution into the dishpan with the lard. The lard will melt. Mix thoroughly, at least 15 minutes, until it looks like thick pudding.
    • Let it set until the next morning; then cut it into bars. It will get harder after a few days. Then package.

    If you wish to make soap based on olive oil, use about 48 ounces. It may need to harden for a week.

    Liquid Soap

    Make chips from your homemade soap cake. Add enough hot water to dissolve. Add citric acid to balance the pH (7 to 8). If you do not, this soap may be too harsh for your skin.

    Skin Sanitizer

    Make up a 5 to 10% solution of food grade alcohol. Food grade alcohols are grain (ethyl) alcohol or vodka. Find a suitable dispenser bottle. Mark it with a pen at about one tenth of the way up from the bottom. Pour 95% grain alcohol (190 proof) to this mark (for the 50% grain alcohol or vodka make your mark one fifth of the way up). Add water to the top. Keep shut. You may add a chip of lemon peel for fragrance.

    Use this for general sanitizing purposes: bathroom fixtures, knobs, handles, canes, walkers, and for personal cleanliness (but use chlorine bleach for the toilet bowl once a week). Always clean up after a bowel movement with wet toilet paper. This is not clean enough, though. Follow with a stronger damp paper towel. This is still not clean enough; use a final damp paper towel with skin sanitizer added. After washing hands, sanitize them too, pouring a bit on one palm and put finger tips of the other hand in it, scratch to get under nails, repeat on other hand. Rinse with water.

    Do not use this recipe, nor keep any bottles of alcohol
    in the house of a recovering alcoholic.

    Deodorant

    Your sweat is odorless. It is the entrenched bacteria feeding on it that makes smells. You can never completely rid yourself of these bacteria, although they may temporarily be gone after zapping. The stratagy is to control their numbers. Here are several deodorants to try. Find one that works best for you:

    Vitamin C water. Mix 1/4 tsp. to a pint of water and dab it on. Then dab on cornstarch.

    Citric acid water. Mix 1/4 tsp. to a pint of water and dab it on. Then dab on cornstarch.

    Only a few drops of these acids under each armpit are necessary. If these acids burn the skin, dilute them more. Never apply anything to skin that has just been shaved!

    Corn starch. Many people need only this. Dab it on.

    Use only unpolluted cornstarch.

    Baking soda has been deleted as a deodorant because benzene was found in some boxes.

    Lemon juice. This acid is not as strong, use what you need.

    Pure alcohol (never rubbing alcohol). The food grade alcohols are grain alcohol and vodka. Dab a bit under each arm and/or on your shirt or blouse, then dab on cornstarch. If the alcohol burns, dilute it with water. Be very careful not to leave the bottle where a child or alcoholic person could find it. Pour it into a different bottle!

    Pure zinc oxide. You may ask your pharmacist to order this for you. She or he may wish to make it up for you too, but do not let them add anything else to it. It should be about 1 part zinc oxide powder to 3 parts water. It does not dissolve. Just shake it up to use it. After you get it home, you can add cornstarch to it to give it a creamy texture. Heat 3 tsp. cornstarch in 1 cup of water, to boiling, until dissolved and clear. Cool and add some to the zinc oxide mixture (about equal parts). Store unused starch mixture in the refrigerator. Only make up enough for a month.

    Alcohol and zinc oxide. This is the most powerful deodorant. Apply alcohol first, then the zinc oxide, then dab on cornstarch.

    Remember that you need to sweat! Sweating excretes toxic substances, especially from the upper body. Don’t use deodorant on weekends. Go to the sink and wipe clean the armpits like our grandparents did. Often, just plain cornstarch is enough! These homemade deodorants are not as powerful as the commercial varieties – this is to your advantage.

    Brushing Teeth

    Buy a new toothbrush. Your old one is soaked with toxins from your old toothpaste. Use only water or chemically pure baking soda if you have any metal fillings. Put a pinch in a glass, add water to dissolve it. Use food-grade hydrogen peroxide if you have only plastic fillings. Dilute it from 35% to 17 1/2 % by adding water (equal parts). Store hydrogen peroxide only in polyethylene or the original plastic bottle. Use 4 or 5 drops on your toothbrush. It should fizz nicely as oxygen is produced in your mouth. Your teeth will whiten noticeably in 6 months. Before brushing teeth, floss with 4 or 2 pound monofilament fish line. Double it and twist for extra strength. Rinse before use. Floss and brush only once a day. If this leaves you uncomfortable, brush the extra times with plain water and a second “water-only” toothbrush. Make sure that nothing solid, like powder, is on your toothbrush; it will scour the enamel and give you sensitive teeth, especially as you get older and the enamel softens. Salt is corrosive – don’t use it for brushing metal teeth. Plain water is just as good.

    For Dentures

    Use salt water. It kills all germs and is inexpensive. Salt water plus grain alcohol or food-grade hydrogen peroxide makes a good denture-soak.

    Mouthwash

    A few drops of food-grade hydrogen peroxide added to a little water in a glass should be enough to make your mouth foam and cleanse. Don’t use hydrogen peroxide, though, if you have metal fillings, because they react. Don’t use regular drug store variety hydrogen peroxide because it contains toxic additives. Health food store varieties contain solvents from the bottling process. Never purchase hydrogen peroxide in a bottle with a metal cap.

    For persons with metal tooth fillings, use chemically pure baking soda or just plain hot water. A healthy mouth has no odor! You shouldn’t need a mouthwash! If you have breath odor, search for a hidden tooth infection or cavitation.

    Contact Lens Solution

    A scant cup of cold tap water brought to a boil in a glass saucepan. After adding 1/4 tsp. aluminum-free salt and boiling again, pour into a sterile canning jar. Refrigerate. Freeze some of it.

    Lip Soother

    For dry burning lips. Heat 1 level tsp. sodium alginate plus 1 cup water until dissolved. After cooling, pour it into a small bottle to carry in your purse or pocket (refrigerate the remainder). Dab it on whenever needed. If the consistency isn’t right for you, add water and boil it down further. You can make a better lip soother by adding lysine from a crushed tablet, vitamin C powder, and a vitamin E capsule to the alginate mix. If you have a persistent problem with chapped lips, try going off citrus juice.

    Foot Powder

    Use a mixture of cornstarch and zinc oxide poured into a salt shaker with a lid. Add long rice grains to fight humidity. You may also try arrow root or potato starch. If you don’t have zinc oxide use plain cornstarch.

    Skin Healer Moisturizer Lotion

    1 tsp. sodium alginate

    1 cup water

    Make the base first by heating these together in a covered, non-metal pan until completely dissolved. Use low heat – it will take over an hour. Use a wooden spoon handle to stir. Set aside. Then make the following mixture.

    1/4 tsp. vitamin C (ascorbic acid) (You may crush tablets)

    1/4 tsp. lysine (crush tablets)

    2 tbs. pure vegetable glycerin

    2 vitamin E capsules (400 units or more,)

    1 tsp. apricot kernel oil (olive oil will do)

    1 tbs. lemon juice from a lemon or 1/4 tsp. citric acid (this is optional)

    1 cup water

    Heat the water to steaming in a non-metal pan. Add vitamin C and lysine first and then everything else. Pour into a pint jar and shake to mix. Then add the sodium alginate base to the desired thickness (about equal amounts) and shake. Pour some into a small bottle to use as a lip soother. Pour some into a larger bottle to dispense on skin. Store remainder in refrigerator.

    Other Skin Healers
    Vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid, not the same as citric acid). Put a large pinch into the palm of your hand. With your other hand pick up a few drops of water from the faucet. Rub hands together until all the powder is dissolved and dispense. It may sting briefly. Do this at bedtime, especially for cracked , chapped hands. Include lips if you need it.

    Vitamin E oil.Vitamin E oil from Now Foods was not polluted at the time of this writing, but for the future it would be safer to rely on capsules. Snip open a capsule and rub into skin.

    50% Glycerin. Dilute 100% vegetable glycerin with an equal amount of water. This is useful as an after-shave lotion.

    Vitamin C liquid. Mix 1/4 tsp. vitamin C powder in one pint water (crushed tablets will do). This is useful as an after shave lotion and general skin treatment.

    Apricot Kernel Oil. This is a very light oil, useful as an after-shave lotion and general skin treatment.

    Cornstarch. Use on rashes, fungus, moist or irritated areas and to prevent chafe.

    Combining several ones of these makes them more effective.

    Dry skin has several causes: too much water contact, too much soap contact (switch to borax), low body temperature, not enough fat in the diet, or parasites.

    Massage Oil

    Use olive oil. It comes in very light to heavy textures. Pick the right one for your purpose. Alginate mixtures can be used instead of, or added to, oil. Starch solutions are good, too.

    Sunscreen Lotion
    Purchase PABA in 500 mg tablet form. Dissolve 1 tablet in grain alcohol or vodka. Grind the tablet first by putting it in a plastic bag and rolling over it with a glass jar. It will not completely dissolve even if you use a tablespoon of the alcohol. Pour the whole mixture into a 4 ounce bottle of homemade skin softener. Be careful not to get the lotion into your eyes when applying it. A better solution is to wear a hat or stay out of the sun. Remember to take PABA as a supplement, too (500 mg, one a day).

    Nose Salve
    (When the inside of the nose is dry, cracked and bleeding.)

    Pour 1/2 tsp. pure vegetable glycerin into a bottle cap. Add 1/2 tsp. of water.

    Applicator: use a plastic coffee stirrer or straw; cut a slit in the end to catch some cotton wool salvaged from a vitamin bottle and twist (cotton swabs, cotton balls and wooden toothpicks are sterilized with mercury which in turn is polluted with thalium). Dip it into the glycerin mixture and apply inside the nose with a rotating motion. Do each nostril with a new applicator.

    Quick Corn Starch Skin Softener

    4 tsp. corn starch

    1 cup water

    Boil starch and water until clear, about one minute.

    Cornstarch Skin Softener
    1 tsp. lysine powder or 8 tablets, 500 mg each
    1 tsp. vitamin C powder (ascorbic acid) or 8 tablets, 500 mg each
    3 tsp. cornstarch
    vitamin E, 1 capsule 400 mg
    1/4 tsp. apricot kernel oil (optional)
    1 cup water

    Boil starch and water until clear, about one minute. Add other ingredients and stir until dissolved. Cool. Pour into dispenser bottles. Keep refrigerated when not in use. apply after washing dishes and after showering.

    After Shaves

    Vitamin C. 1/4 tsp. vitamin C powder dissolved in 1 pint of water

    Apricot Kernel Oil.

    Vegetable glycerin. Equal parts glycerin and water or to suit your need.

    Baby Wipes

    Cut paper towels in quarters and stack in a closable plastic box. Run tap water over them, drain the excess. Add 1 tsp. grain alcohol and/or borax liquid on top. Close. Put a dab of the Quick Cornstarch Softener recipe on top of each wipe as you use it.

    People Wipes

    1/4 tsp. powdered lysine (you may crush tablets)
    1/4 tsp. Vitamin C powder (you may crush tablets)
    1/4 cup vegetable glycerin
    1 cup water

    Prepare wipes by cutting paper towels in quarters. Use white, unfragranced towels that are strong enough to hold up for this use. Fold each piece in quarters again and stack in a plastic zippered baggy. Pour the fluid mixture over the stack and zip. Store a bag full in the freezer to take on car trips. If you want to keep them a month or more, add 1 tbs. grain alcohol or vodka to this recipe.

    For bathroom use, dampen a roll of paper towels under the cold tap first. Then pour about 1/4 cup of the mixture over the towel roll around the middle. Store in plastic shopping bag or stand in plastic waste basket.”
