Q:I tried the suggestion of using cornmeal mush for toenail fungus. I used it twice and after the nail grew out, the fungus was gone. My problem was only with the big toenail, not all the toes.A: We heard about using cornmeal to fight nail fungus from a gardener in Vicksburg, Miss. He told us to put an inch of cornmeal in a foot bath and cover it with hot water so it can dissolve. Let it cool so you don't burn your feet and then soak them in this mush for an hour. .
Ontario NDP wants product labels to warn people about toxic chemicals
TORONTO (CP) - Armed with tests that suggest the body of every Canadian carries trace evidence of dangerous chemicals, Ontario's New Democrats are spearheading an effort that would help them learn exactly what carcinogens or toxins they are exposed to on a daily basis. Toxic chemicals are in many everyday products, from household cleaners and laundry detergents to hair dyes and cosmetics, said NDP environment critic Peter Tabuns, who is pushing for a new law that would compel manufacturers to disclose dangerous ingredients in their products. Consumers would demand changes if labels told them exactly what a product contains, Tabuns said in an interview. "Right now, most people don't know whether or not products that they buy have cancer-causing agents in them." Tabuns hopes to convince Ontario to follow the example of California, where community right-to-know legislation has helped get arsenic out of bottled water and lead removed from some candies.
