As bizarre as this soap thing sounds I can tell you it works for me. By the way, it doesn't have to be Ivory soap, as I have had success with any type. I can't tell you how stupid I felt trying it for the first time since I am the type that laughs at quack cures. I first learned about this from "The Peoples Pharmacy" which wrote a daily column in our local paper in South Florida. They have a web site and offer many simple cures. They are husband and wife pharmacist and offer many natural or simple cures.
