Something is eating my feet!!!
Hello!
I have suffered for years with HORRIBLE foot odor.
I guess the technical term for my problem is plantar hyperhidrosis.
But, I think that it goes WAY beyond that.
The heal of both my feet literally looks like they’re being eaten away.
When I take my shoes and socks off at night, the skin is white and has dozens (maybe hundreds) of “pot holes” in it… just like something has been eating them.
The socks are usually stuck to my feet and I have to peel them off (I’m telling the truth!!).
I have shown this condition to several doctors (including one Podiatrist) and have never gotten a good answer (or solution) to the problem.
Usually, they say something like: “hmmmm… I’m not sure what that is.
Try changing your socks twice a day.” I’ve never met or talked to anyone that had a similar condition.
Can you help?
Thanks and Best Regards,Dave

I’m sorry to see that nobody has responded to your question here.
Also unfortunately, is that this website doesn’t even say when you posted this, so I don’t know how long you’ve had this question gone unanswered.
(I’ve never, in my entire life, seen a forum that doesn’t attribute a date & time to people’s posts..
for all anyone can tell, this could have been posted 10 days ago, or 10 years ago..
a spectacularly incompetent oversight of the utmost embarrassing calibre of stupidity on the part of whoever runs this website..)
I wish I had some useful information, but all I can unprofessionally, and uneducated-ly suggest, is:
Your feet need FRESH AIR!
Whenever possible, when at home or any environment that you can be bare-foot without consequence, take of your shoes and socks and just let them breathe.
seriously, the next time you have a day off & you’re going to be at home all day, keep your shoes and socks off ALL DAY, and just let them breathe.
and do this any chance you get.
Also, I would try soaking your feet in rubbing alcohol from time to time;
just fill a bucket with rubbing alcohol, and soak your feet in it for a bit to kill off whatever is contributing to the “eating”.
Also:
Get your body’s PH level ALKALINE.
Or in other words, make your diet at least 80% alkaline;
avoid consuming things that are acidic, which is basically anything that your body translates into sugar.
Which includes: sweets, sugar, bread, grains, wheat, rice, pasta, alcohol.. these all translate into sugar.
yes.
i.e. : if you have 4 pieces of toasts for breakfast, you’re just consuming pure sugar.
which is acidic.
Having an acidic environment in your body is what allows for ALL disease, ailments, illnesses, infections, complications, DIABETES… you name it…
It all boils down to the body’s environment being acidic.
Eat alkaline; which is almost synonymous with eating paleo: vegetables & meat.
that’s it.
anything outside of vegetables & meat is translated into sugar by your body; with the exception (ironically) of the citrus fruits lime, lemons, and tomatoes.
(all other fruits are acidic).
Fruit is okay from time to time, but mostly, just do vegetables & meat.
No grains, bread, noodles, wheat, etc etc etc..
and NO FRUIT JUICE.
Drinking a glass of orange juice is essentially just drinking a glass of sugar.
completely acidic.
Things that are acidic throw of your PH level, which forces your body to suck nutrients out of your muscles, and bone marrow, to rebalance your PH level.
In other words: when your body’s environment is acidic, your body, in a very real sense, drains nutrients from your bones, muscles, and organs to rebalance.
This, then, leaves your body extremely vulnerable to all kinds of health problems, especially diabetes & arthritis, as well as cancer, and literally any other condition you can possibly think of.
STAY ALKALINE
you’ll be surprised how your life and health will change by just being even 80% alkaline.
(95% of Americans are seriously probably about 95% acidic)
just really look into alkaline / paleo diets, and really understand how it (by being alkaline) allows your body to get into a state of ketosis.
Then, and only then, can your body start producing ketones, which will keep you in absolute optimum health, and absolutely prevent you from having conditions like you have with your feet.
I know this is a lot of random information, and you might just be like “this guy is retarded, this couldn’t possibly have any affect on my problems with my feet”…
But I swear to you, this is what it is.
All I can do is share this info, and just hope that you genuinely receive this with an open mind, and genuinely look into this and understand the scientific truth of what I’m sharing here.
Trust me: I wouldn’t take the 30 minutes out of my busy day to share this if this was just a bunch of “hogwash”.
Stay alkaline.
and your life & health will be absolutely optimal.
I hope you really take this to heart, my anonymous friend
