Athlete's foot

I today's LA Times "people's pharmacy" section, a reader shared how dipping his toes and feet in vinegar cured his athletes foot problem. If you suffer from athletes foot, this might be a good option to try.

....."From the 1960s to the 1980s, I had the worst case of athlete's foot that I have ever seen — and that is saying something, because I am a doctor and I have seen many. In the early 1990s, my mother suggested white-vinegar foot soaks. I began soaking my feet twice a day. Today, 20 years later, I continue this regimen several times a week, and I have "poster feet": no smell, no athlete's foot.

You don't need to use more than a half-cup of vinegar at a time, but it should be full strength. Don't rinse it off. Soaks of five to 10 minutes (reading, watching TV, etc.) are enough."
