Have any of you with eczema figured out what you are reacting to? if so are
you on any meds?

I my attempt to find a solution to my eczema which is very severe and very
drying, my internet research brought up the fact that people with extreme eczema
and dermatitis may have an immune system imbalance. Has anyone everyone had
this checked and if so how do I go about discussing it with my doctor? I just
know that there has to be something else wrong other that just "sensitive skin"
as everyone tells me.
I believe there is some immune system problem, some
liver function problem, some kidney function problem,
some gut issues. We have been trying to address these
issues for a couple of years with my daughter who is
only 3 1/2. In the mean time, I have always tried to
use only natural products for skin care. I have to
tell you, it hasn’t gottene me far yet. I believe in
it, but just recently, I have resorted to trying some
topical steroid ointment and aquaphor ointment
(petroleum based ointment). It has done more for the
appearance of her skin than any natural product. The
problem is, in my heart, I believe I may be shutting
off a natural response to release toxins. And if I am
doing that, what effect does that have on her? I told
myself I would only do this for a couple of weeks,
just to give her skin and body a break from this
constant misery. Any ideas on if I can continue if
this is helping her be comfortable? I don’t want to
cause more harm than good. I just want her to be able
to live for a little while without a severe rash and
itch.
I believe the root cause is gut permeability due to microbes or food
intolerance such as inability to digest glutten and/or diary due to
shortage of appropriate enzymes. Semi-digested protein complex then
enters blood stream which are then deposited under the skin when the
liver could not detoxify them fast enought.
The first step is to heal the gut with L-glutamine to restore healthy
villi and mucous membraine in the gut. Avoid allergic foods such as
gluten and diary etc until gut permeability is resolved.
I spent the last few years researching Psoriasis. In
my studies I found all skin issues to originate from
one or several basic sources: inflammation or
permeability in the intestinal tract, food or chemical
sensitivities, or emotional disturbance. I agree that
skin disorders are our bodies brilliant sign of toxic
overload, whether physical, mental, or emotional.
Each person detoxes differently, and it’s my belief
that I detox greatly through my skin. Possibly the
other major organs in my body are overloaded: lungs,
liver, kidneys. The skin is the largest organ of the
body; we must expect some forms of detox via this
avenue. Some people are more sensitive than others.
I will list sources of toxins that some find, upon
removal, help the issue: heavy metals (ie mercury
amalgams (Hal Huggins), bridges, tap water… filter
on kitchen spout and shower help!); toxic air
(toxifies lungs… air filter in car and house is an
option I have not tried); house chemicals (pesticides
on food and in lawn or garden… use natura
detergents, soaps, cleaners, pestcides, antifungals,
etc in your own home and BUY ORGANIC!!!); nightshade
veggies (tomatoes, eggplant, green/red peppers, white
potatoes, paprika (John Pagano)… the lists vary
between researchers, so do your own research and
illiminate if you wish); cooked food (same say cooking
food kills it, and eating only raw fruits and veggies
can detox the body best… it helped me some, still
trying the discipline!); root canals (the stuff used
to fill teeth can shrink after pacement and allow
toxins from the mouth to seep into the blood stream-
book "Root Canal Cover Up"); pent-up anger, jealousy,
etc (from book "Skin Deep"); candida albicans (yeast
overload in the organs). That’s all I can remember
now.
We’re all different, so what may work for one person
may not work for another. A lot of people say to
start by illiminating chemical toxins, cleaning the
diet, adding positive intention, and drinking purified
water. If you’re not going to go for the RAW diet,
which is definitely extreme, I read in many books that
illiminating processed foods, refined sugar/flour/salt
is very important. Buying food soaked in pesticides
and other chemicals can’t be good for anyone, in my
opinion. Our bodies are just smarter than those other
people’s bodies :)-smiles.
As for diet, dairy might not be as positive for us as
the milk company tells us it is, especially cheese…
you can experiment and notice any signs of stomach
disorder once you illiminate it for a while then
reintroduce (you can do the illimination method with
any food to determine allergies). Also, whole grains
are best (sprouted grain bread seems to work best for
me if I must choose to eat any of it). However, the
grinded grains in the form of flour reduces minerals
and produces goos in our bellies that slows time of
digestion. The issue of meat is in the air; many
people say in order to detox, meat protein is
necessary. Others say meat is a toxin, stating
researched proof. All sources say if you eat meat,
buy organic meat without antibiotics, etc. A raw
salad every day is important.
Maybe illiminate nightshades and then reintroduce one
by one to see if you react. If sigs of Candida
overload are present in the body, reduce sugar (honey,
molassas, date, maybe fruit too), and take
probiotics. Many books on the market discuss
anti-candida protocols, including "Body Ecology Diet,"
"Candida Albicans," "The Yeast Connection".
Yeah, it’s a lot. You can use your intuition to see
what might contribute to our personal body’s recovery.
Some people say it’s a long road, while others find
instant relief by illiminating one or more substances.
For me, it’s a long road. I feel I have not given
adequate time for the diets. I give in too soon.
Keep in mind, this info is from researching the P,
however the paragraph before last is important all
around the board. Thanks. Best wishes. b.
Do you have anything specific you can send a link to in regards to eczema and
immune system? I would be interested to read it.
I have had eczema since college (I am about to turn 34). Mostly severe. It
has been better recently. While getting allergy testing, the Dr discovered I
have a low immune system. I now get replacement treatments for my immune
system (IGG) and it has helped my eczema. I think it would be worth asking your
Dr. about. I feel as though my Dr. found out my accident.
Please read about L-glutamine in article below. L-glutamine is
completely safe, even for children, as it is one of the natural
amino acids, a component of natural protein. It is food for villi of
the gut and food for brain. If you have a headache, don’t take
aspirin, take a teaspoon of L-glutamine powder in a glass of water.
Your headache will simply disappear within minutes.
It is not in any way linked to MSG.
ymp
L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream and
because human cells readily synthesize it, is usually considered a
non-essential amino acid. It is found in high concentration in
skeletal muscle, lung, liver, brain, and stomach tissue. Skeletal
muscle contains the greatest intracellular concentration of
glutamine, comprising up to 60 percent of total body glutamine
stores, and is considered the primary storage depot and exporter of
glutamine to other tissues. Under certain pathological circumstances
the body’s tissues need more glutamine than the amount supplied by
diet and biosynthesis. During catabolic stress intracellular
glutamine levels can drop more than 50 percent, and it is under
these circumstances that supplemental glutamine becomes necessary.
[1] In times of metabolic stress, glutamine is released into
circulation, where it is transported to the tissue in need.
Intracellular skeletal muscle glutamine concentration is affected by
various insults, including injury, sepsis, prolonged stress,
starvation, and the use of glucocorticoids. Therefore, glutamine has
been re-classified as a conditionally essential amino acid. Research
demonstrates glutamine supplementation may be beneficial when added
to total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for surgery, trauma, and cancer
patients. In addition, evidence suggests it may provide benefit for
certain gastrointestinal conditions, wound healing, critically ill
neonates, HIV/AIDS patients, immune enhancement in endurance
athletes, and prevention of complications associated with
chemotherapy, radiation, and bone marrow transplant.[1,2]
What would you say to someone that already has root canals done and is suffering
from eczema??? Do you know that relationship between eczema and asthma? Thanks

I read that eczema and asthma may both have allergetic causes. I went on a
raw diet for a month or so and realized a great suppression of psoriatic redness
and itching. Also, no allergies… and I’m in North Carolina!!! If you know
anything about nutrition and diet, head that ruite first. It’s very important
to know what to eat to help your body heal. I posted something about it
recently in this forum. Thanks!

My only concern with going all raw is that it might be tough on my system.
What was your diet like? I hate to ask for really mundane information, but
that’s where I usually get screwed up.
What are you avoiding, specifically? Have you found anything that’s troubling
you that was a bit of a surprise?
Has anyone said what a pain in the ass this is lately?

Keith,
I got off the raw diet for a while. I’m trying to re-integrate it into my
diet. I ate a lot of salads and fruits and nuts as snacks. I read that soaked
and sprouted seeds and nuts are important, however I never went to that level.
I avoided the nightshades, for the most part. This next time, for the cleanse,
I’m gonna try to eat primarily veggies… maybe soaked seeds and nuts if it gets
too intense. Have you tried UVB narrow band light therapy? It helps me right
now. Less redness. The skin doesn’t look so scarry. What’s going on with you?
My only concern with going all raw is that it might be tough on my system. What

buy organic meat without antibiotics, etc. A raw

Maybe illiminate nightshades and then reintroduce one
by one to see if you react. If sigs of Candida
overload are present in the body, reduce sugar (honey,
molassas, date, maybe fruit too), and take
probiotics. Many books on the market discuss
anti-candida protocols, including "Body Ecology Diet,"
"Candida Albicans," "The Yeast Connection".
Yeah, it’s a lot. You can use your intuition to see
what might contribute to our personal body’s recovery.
Some people say it’s a long road, while others find
instant relief by illiminating one or more substances.
For me, it’s a long road. I feel I have not given
adequate time for the diets. I give in too soon.
Keep in mind, this info is from researching the P,
however the paragraph before last is important all
around the board. Thanks. Best wishes. b.

The sun gives off Ultra-violet B and A rays. Supposedly the UVB rays are most
beneficial for healing. Most dermitologists offer this treatment; the rays like
those from the sun emit from a lightbulb. The patient stands in a light box
wearing glasses, beginning with a small amount of light then increasing the time
at each visit. Some dermitologists reccommed creams to use with the light
therapy, however there are drawbacks. I choose to solely use the lights because
there are minimal side effects. I reccommend doing some google research before
heading to see the doc, so you can know for ourself what you want. It’s your
body; your choice. Any other questions, please ask. I’ll tell you what I’ve
researched. Stay positive! b.

My only concern with going all raw is that it might be tough on my system. What
was your diet like? I hate to ask for really mundane information, but that’s
where I usually get screwed up.
What are you avoiding, specifically? Have you found anything that’s troubling
you that was a bit of a surprise?
Has anyone said what a pain in the ass this is lately?

I spent the last few years researching Psoriasis. In
my studies I found all skin issues to originate from
one or several basic sources: inflammation or
permeability in the intestinal tract, food or chemical
sensitivities, or emotional disturbance. I agree that
skin disorders are our bodies brilliant sign of toxic
overload, whether physical, mental, or emotional.
Each person detoxes differently, and it’s my belief
that I detox greatly through my skin. Possibly the
other major organs in my body are overloaded: lungs,
liver, kidneys. The skin is the largest organ of the
body; we must expect some forms of detox via this
avenue. Some people are more sensitive than others.
I will list sources of toxins that some find, upon
removal, help the issue: heavy metals (ie mercury
amalgams (Hal Huggins), bridges, tap water… filter
on kitchen spout and shower help!); toxic air
(toxifies lungs… air filter in car and house is an
option I have not tried); house chemicals (pesticides
on food and in lawn or garden… use natura
detergents, soaps, cleaners, pestcides, antifungals,
etc in your own home and BUY ORGANIC!!!); nightshade
veggies (tomatoes, eggplant, green/red peppers, white
potatoes, paprika (John Pagano)… the lists vary
between researchers, so do your own research and
illiminate if you wish); cooked food (same say cooking
food kills it, and eating only raw fruits and veggies
can detox the body best… it helped me some, still
trying the discipline!); root canals (the stuff used
to fill teeth can shrink after pacement and allow
toxins from the mouth to seep into the blood stream-
book "Root Canal Cover Up"); pent-up anger, jealousy,
etc (from book "Skin Deep"); candida albicans (yeast
overload in the organs). That’s all I can remember
now.
We’re all different, so what may work for one person
may not work for another. A lot of people say to
start by illiminating chemical toxins, cleaning the
diet, adding positive intention, and drinking purified
water. If you’re not going to go for the RAW diet,
which is definitely extreme, I read in many books that
illiminating processed foods, refined sugar/flour/salt
is very important. Buying food soaked in pesticides
and other chemicals can’t be good for anyone, in my
opinion. Our bodies are just smarter than those other
people’s bodies :)-smiles.
As for diet, dairy might not be as positive for us as
the milk company tells us it is, especially cheese…
you can experiment and notice any signs of stomach
disorder once you illiminate it for a while then
reintroduce (you can do the illimination method with
any food to determine allergies). Also, whole grains
are best (sprouted grain bread seems to work best for
me if I must choose to eat any of it). However, the
grinded grains in the form of flour reduces minerals
and produces goos in our bellies that slows time of
digestion. The issue of meat is in the air; many
people say in order to detox, meat protein is
necessary. Others say meat is a toxin, stating
researched proof. All sources say if you eat meat,
buy organic meat without antibiotics, etc. A raw
salad every day is important.

I am in so much pain today…my skin is very dry and wrinkled and nothing I put
on seems to soften and give relief. My body also gives off this sick smell. I
have to do something because my dermatologist appt is not until 12-01-05. Does
anyone have any suggestions to get me through the week? I am in so much agony

I am sorry you are hurting Terri. I know one person
in this group reccommended taking a bath with a whole
box of baking soda when his skin was really irritated.
Then apply your moisturizer before drying off, maybe
that will help. Which moisturizer? Naturalists say
african shea butter…..others say aquaphor or
something petroleum based. I don’t have the answers
for that for sure, we just keep trying.
My diet is so very much changed from when it was when my skin condition was
at its worse. It has been many years of trial and error to find what worked
and what didn’t and there are still changes with my body and with foods I
once thought were safe for me. I have to remember when I break my routine
to not be so hard on myself and not to be so extreme in breaking that
routine. I am not always so dilligent.
When I have fallen off the wagon of eating what is and works for me to keep
me healthy, I climb back on with a tall glass of very cold tomato juice. I
home-can mine so maybe a juicer would work better for you to get unaltered
juices of vegetables and fruits your body allows. Go lightly, adding a bit
of water to dilute them slightly. Then I eat very clean, plain and within
2-3 days I am feeling better, body not aching or swollen and my right hand
not hurting and swollen and I’m back on the road to eating well again. Also
it is important to rest; drink lots of filtered water, warm it with some
honey if is it soothing for you. After a day or so drink whatever herbal tea
you can tolerate. Then I begin again with one meal/snack at a time to love
myself more than the foods that I indulged in that make me so ill.
I have found for me a lotion my mom introduced me to …cetaphil. I think
Walgreens sells it. It costs about $8 a bottle and I can only use the pump
container type. The other types of this lotion have ingredients in it that I
cannot tolerate.
I also use Avon Perfumed Skin Softerner in the jar. My hands are always
quite dry and this does not sting when I apply it. It last long and at
present I do not seem to be bothered by it. It’s probably not the best to
use but for now and my income it works.
Blessings to you,
Katlee
Every word we speak is a prayer coming into reality. I can, I am, I will, I
choose, I have, I love, I create, I enjoy. - Robert Tennyson Stevens
Terri-
Try soaking in an Epson Salt bath… use the entire large carton of salts in
steaming hot water. Make water as hot as you can stand…. but not scalding.
The bath should last approximately 20 minutes. Then, before drying off, apply
raw shea butter. You can get this at a health food store, and a little goes a
long way. If you are unable to find the shea butter, you may try an olive oil
mix in the same manner. I find that Shea Butter works best for me. If you are
in great agony, I suggest going one to 2 days eating only raw foods: unprocessed
fruits, veggies, buts and seeds. It’s simple and fun. Practice conscious, deep
breathing, taking air slowly into the belly then feeling it rise to fill your
shest cavity. This will help bring peace of mind and help detox. If you are
constipated, try an enema. It’s highly possibly that your body wants to detox,
and your skin is its venue. You mention a sick smell… this is a sign of
toxicity in the body. Open up other chanels.
Look within. The raw foods are healing. Lost of water is crucial… try for a
gallon a day or as you can handle. Best wishes! Keep breathing.

One more thing… I like to remove scales on the skin near the end of the bath
once the skin is nice ans soft. It causes less irritability of the skin when
exiting the bath. Some people suggest to use a scrub brush, however when the
skin is so inflammed, that hurts! I use the pads of my fingers and press as
firmly as necessary, rocking the fingers back and forth. Flakes remove fairly
easily, if you have any.

i think the same kind of thing was just happening to me - I was trying to
moisturize and it was as iff my skin wouldn’t even take it in. Maybe something
in your diet is really bothering you - or maybe it’s something you were exposed
to. I had to eliminate a lot of things from my diet for a few days and I’m
recovering now, even tho’ my skin is really red and irritated, it’s obviously
healing. You may know what’s bothering you, which would make it easier.
I would even cut back on certain fruits - orange juice was a big problem for
me, among others. Warm showers do me well, but I can’t really standd baths. I
only use Aveeno and anything with perfume or any kind of lanolin makes my skin
go crazy - that means no wool for me, either.
Try to eliminate what might be bothering you and be easy on yourself. I got so
depressed when my skin got so bad after doing so well, but it’s healing again
and I’m feeling better too. You can heal this, but it’s going to take a lot of
time. Try to be easy on yourself and try to take this as a part of the healing
process. I hope that it helps.
And I know so many people recommend against it, but a good pain killer is just
the thing sometimes…

One of my favorite remedy’s is to add several tablespoons of Pure Virgin
Coconut Oil to a bath. In your case, you might want to add more. Get in,
soak, relax - you will feel tremendous relief immediately. Also, you must
get some Fish Oil internally. Go to the health food store and pick up Flax
Oil, Fish Oil Caps (a good brand such as Carlson’s), Primrose Oil, and
Borage Oil. Take these every day in your diet and start drinking pure water
and a lot of it. You can start with one half of your body weight in ounces
So if you are say, 150 lbs., drink 75 - 80 ozs of water per day at the
minimum. Before you go to bed, rub on some more coconut oil all over your
body. DO NOT use mineral oil. Change you diet to fruits and vegetables,
seeds and nuts, sprouts, vegetable soups, broths. Get rid of as much toxic
food as you can out of your diet. You can change these things slowly over
time, you don’t have to do everything all at once. Another thing I would
suggest is to get your lymph moving. Get one of those exercise balls and
sit on it and bounce. Or if you can afford it get a rebounder, and not a
cheap one as it will break your ankles and knees down over time. The other
inexpensive and free thing to do is to start doing DEEP BREATHING. You can
e-mail me for directions. But basically, it is quickly in through your
teeth like a blast, then blast out the same way, breathe in again, out again
in again and out to the count of four. Do this many times per day. You
will begin to start to feel better inside of the week, and then you can at
least investigate what is the more severe problem you are really dealing
with. But this is a good start.

that will help. Which moisturizer? Naturalists say
african shea butter…..others say aquaphor or
something petroleum based. I don’t have the answers
for that for sure, we just keep trying.
I have read some replies to you and it seems like you
need immediate relief. I think a long bath soak will
do wonders. It should be long that your fingers are
starting to shrivle. Immediately use moisturizer do
not dry off much. The best "immediate" relief I feel
would be vaseline or aquaphor or even crisco
shortening. Put a ton on and I mean a ton. Then
wet/dampen some tight fitted clothing, ie: long johns,
socks, pj’s or something light. Then put some dry
clothes over the top. If you repeat this 2 or 3 times
in a day, I know you will feel better. The wet wrap
really helps to keep that moisture near your skin.
Make sure after doing this a few times you let your
skin breathe for a little bit. I also feel this helps
the most if you do this regimen before bed. You can
always take some antihistamine. Benedryl, Zyrtec,
Clairitn. I suggest Benedryl because you can take it
more often. Don’t be affraid to take it often to give
you some immediate relief. My son suffers severe
eczema and I have tried this and it helps him
tremendously, I also have severly dry skin. Sometimes
in the winter my skin hurts to move and I will do this
and feel 100% better. I see there is a lot of caring
people who have given you suggestions. I hope your
spirits are lifted and your skin feels better. Try one
or try them all. Obviously anything is worth a try at
this point. Good luck and please let us know how you
are doing. I will pray that you find relief!!
I have been getting a drier and drier scalp and I am losing hair now. I also
have incredibly bad dandruff and I can’t seem to moisturize it well. Any
shampoos have been a problem, including psoriasis shampoos.
Does anyone have any good way of dealing with this? I am really coming up
blank.
Keith,
Someone recently told me they tried raw African Shea Butter on the scalp.
Have you tried any natural shampoos or scalp ointments?
Does anyone have any good way of dealing with this? I am really coming up

Keith -
Have you tried Pure Virgin Coconut Oil on your scalp. You can put it on at
night and shower it off in the am. Or leave it on an hour before you take a
shower.

I too have had many problems with my son’s dry itchy scalp. We have
used T-Gel shampoo, Denorex, Head and Shoulders, Baby Shampoo, and
even a Tea Tree Oil Shampoo, none of these worked. I have been using
Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Pure Castile Soap on his body and also his
hair and scalp. It has worked wonders. His scalp looks really good.
I have been using it for about a month now and I really think it is
great. It is 100% Vegan. The ingredients are as follows: water,
saponified organic coconut & olive oils (w/retained glycerin)
organic hemp oil, organic jojoba oil, citric acid, vitamin E. That
was taken straight from the bottle. It is even pretty cheap. I got
mine at www.drugstore.com. Try it!
Did the Castile Soap work on the dry skin on his body? My body is so dry and the
dry itches so badly that I feel like I am cursed. Also have anyone ever tried
the tar soap for body and hair?
Yes, the Castile soap has been good for his skin as
well. Although using any kind of soap is still drying
if you don’t moisturize. He soaks in a bath with
oatmeal everynight for at least 15 minutes and without
really drying his skin immediately putting a lot of
Aquaphor everywhere. This helps so much that I really
only have to apply moisture to his skin once a day,
after the bath. If I apply a moisturizer to his dry
skin with no bath, it will get irritated. I also know
this from experience, I suffered with Eczema myself.
Today I don’t have flare ups but extremely dry skin. I
also have been using the Castile soap and think it is
great. I personally use LacHydrin lotion. It’s a
lactic acid lotion and it really burns if you have
irritated skin but it is worth the results.
Terri, I saw that there was a lot of suggestions for
you. Did you try some of them out? What did or didn’t
help?
I haven’t used the tar soap.
Good luck to you. Remember you are not cursed, but you
have to keep up on the skin. Taking care of it is a
neverending battle and you can’t skip a day or you
will have to keep starting over.
Dandruff is a sign of Vitamin B2 deficiency. Supplementing with
this Vitamin can eliminate dandruff. Try taking a high potency Vit
B complex. You need to take the complex and not just B2 as they all
work together synergistically. I have managed to reduce my sons
eczema by about 95% using just vitamins, minerals and supplements.
Can anyone explain this? I have light eczema in many places all over my body
and I’ve bene controlling these by a very limited diet, but I went off that on
Thanksgiving and my skin flared up. The wierd thing is that my skin only flared
up in certain places, like my neck. Other large patches weren’t aggravated at
all.
Why would their be such an isolated reaction? Between the scalp eczema and my
neck, these have to be the two most annoying places to have this.
I am going to try and increase my vitamin B intake this week (with a B-multi)
to see what that does. I’ve heard there are chances of overdosing on B. What’s
the limit and what are the effects - anyone know?
You can’t overdose on B vitamins, they are water soluble. If you
take more than your body needs, you just pee it out-you will notice
your urine turns yellow. Vitamin C is the same, any excess is lost
through your urine.
This is what B Vitamins do:
B1 - Needed to produce HCl in your stomach, healthy nervous system
B2 - Eliminates dandruff. Helps healthy skin/hair/nails. Increases
oxygen in skin tissue. Cracks in the corner of your mouth is a
deficiency symptom.
B3 - Helps healthy skin, improved circulation. Needed for healthy
nervous & digestive system, HCl production
B5 - Converts foods into energy. Allergy relief, increases wound
healing. Produces steriods and cortisone in adrenal gland
B6 - This vitamin is involved in more bodily function than any other
single nutrient, improved physical/mental health, needed for HCl
production, absorption of fats/proteins, maintains sodium/potassium
balance, activates many enzymes, aids B12 use, helpful in treatment
of allergies
B12 - Needed for digestion, growth/repair of tissue. Helps
nervous/digestive system.
Biotin - Needed for fatty acid production, aids cell growth, healthy
skin/hair. Deficiency may cause seborrheic dermatitis
Choline - needed for lecithin formation
Folic Acid - Brain Food
Inositol - Lecithin formation, prevents eczema, calming effect.
PABA - Protects against sunburn/skin cancer.
You take them all together in a B-Complex Vitamin but you can take
more of one as well to treat a particular condition.
Could you please let me know what kind of vitamin, minerals and supplements has
helped your son…I would like to try them , and hopefully they will help my
daughter too.
Meivy
I have a doctor’s appt on Thursday. This is going to be the first time I can
actually say that I am excited. I am hoping to get some help this time. Anyway,
everyone in the group seems to have a handle on their eczema such as controlling
it through diet. Does anyone have any suggestions on tests that the
dermatologist might do just to rule out any other problems that might make my
eczema worse? My family practice doctor have already tested me for a variety of
other illnesses such as thyroid, diabetes. So what should I ask because they
will not volunteer testing for certain causes?
You might want to see if there’s any way that you can check on your liver & gall
bladder functions, vitamin deficiencies, etc.
I really think diet is the key. Diet and making sure that your body is able
to filter out impurities thru the normal ways and not via the skin.
I am also looking into pH and keeping my body alkaline. So far, it looks like
the same advice you always hear: no coffee, alcohol, bread, etc. - plenty of
greens…
B Complex Vitamins - one tablet a day
Vitamin C - at least 250mg
Vitamin E - at least 100IU
A general multivitamin daily
Zinc - 50mg - don’t give more than 100mg
Magnesium - 100mg (of elemental mg)
Organic sulphur in the form of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
Fish Oil - 3000mg
Cod Liver Oil - 1000mg
Probiotics - Lactobacillus GG
Digestive enzymes.
Coenzyme Q10 - one daily.
You could also add in some Lecithin. I don’t use it as my son is
allergic to eggs and soy which is what supplemental lecithin is made
from.
Also Flax seed oil - we used this originally and it helps alot.
We’re now trialing the fish oil instead. Dose for flaxseed is 1 tbs
per 100 pounds body weight.
This is why I use them. Firstly, being a 2yo, he doesn’t eat a
whole lot of vegies. And due to modern farming methods and use of
fertilisers, most of our fruit/veg are deficient in nutrients
anyway. There are cases of Oranges being grown in commercial
orchards which have NO vitamin C in them at all. Where I live
(Western Australia) there is no zinc in the soil anyway - so any
vegetarians who only eat organic food here would definetly be Zinc
deficient. Plus commercial fertilisers usually contain cadmium
which is a toxic mineral (like mercury is) which accumulates in the
body and prevents you from absorbing zinc. Fortunately, you do get
zinc from meat and my son loves that.
This is what these vits/mins do.
B Complex - needed for healthy skin, healthy nervous system,
metabolism of foods, oxygen in skin tissue, improves circulation,
produces HCl (hydrochloric acid) in your stomach which is needed for
digestion (most people with chronic eczema are deficient in HCl),
allergy relief, helps healing, growth/repair of tissue, lecithin
formation, calming effect.
Vitamin C - Tissue growth/repair, collagen formation which gives
skin structural integrity. Protects against effects of pollution,
cancer, infection, enhances immunity. Vit C & E work well together.
Vitamin E - Protects EFA’s. Necessary for tissue repair, promotes
healthy skin. Prevents cancer/heart disease. Needs zinc to
maintain Vit E in blood.
Lecithin - Helps absorption of EFA’s. Is found in all cells - 25%
of dry brain weight.
Magnesium - Cofactor in 300 different enzyme reactions. Deficieny
is expressed by dry skin and allergy symptoms. Deficiency increases
histamine release. Sugar causes deficiency. Helps insomnia.
Potassium - Deficiency causes dry skin. Helps kidneys eliminate
waste from body.
Sulphur - Disinfects blood, protects against toxins, collagen
synthesis, needed for digestion, reduces histamine, detoxes body,
relieves allergies, helps stomach pH, aids vit/mineral utilisation,
helps wound healing.
Zinc - Helps for HCl, conversion of EFA’s functioning of oil
producing glands, healthy immune system, wound healing.
Coenzyme Q10 - Enhances immune system, benefits asthma, allergies,
counters histamine.
To get a child to take these -
Tablets - cut into small pieces and give with a little honey a few
bits at a time.
Vit E and fish oils - pierce capsules and squeeze into juice.
MSM - we have one which makes an orange flavoured drink. Our zinc
is a liquid which we add to the drink along with oils.
If they are reluctant, you can always bribe with lollies. Plain
white lollies (ie white marshmallows) are good as they have no
additives/colours in them.
Probiotics/digestive enzymes - open capsules, sprinkle over foods
and mix in.
We also have a diet which is completely free of harmful
additives/colours/flavours. We eat no junk food, no soft drinks,
don’t use pre-prepared packaged foods/sauces etc. Our diet is
mostly meat, fresh fruit/veg, additive free breads, rice/grains.
Please note I am not trained in nutrition, I’m just a mum with a
very itchy kid who reads an awful lot of books. When it comes to
doses, some I have read, with others I just read what the
recommended dose is on the bottle and give my son a weight adjusted
proportion. (Ie, he weighs 14 kilos so I give him about 1/5 of an
adult dose if an adult weights 70kg).
The results we have had are:
Before - constantly itchy, very dry knuckles, elbows, knees. Our
son has had to wear long pants/boots for the last 2 years or he
would have torn himself apart whenever unsupervised. Never slept
well due to itching. For him, his skin had a few dry patches but
generally the rest of his skin wasn’t dry, just covered with eczema
rash. The doctors advice of "lots of moisturiser" was completely
useless and the moisturiser never worked on his dry skin anyway. It
didn’t improve until we treated it from the inside.
Now he is wearing a pair of shorts and sandals for the first time
ever. He sleeps all night (magnesium really helps this) and no
longer wears mittens to bed. When he does scratch, he generally
stops scratching long before he draws blood. If he does have an
eczema outbreak, it heals very fast. It is easier to see what foods
etc triggers his eczema as his skin isn’t constantly inflammed.
We also try to feed him more alkaline forming foods (fruits and veg)
rather than meat/grains/dairy. When he has lots of raw fruit/veg he
is particularly good but again it’s not easy getting a toddler to
eat these. We juice vegetables and mix it with apple juice for
flavour for him. Carrot juice is particulary good as it provide
beta carotene which is converted into Vitamin A.
That’s enough ranting for now. Feel free to ask any more question.
my name is pamela, that is a lot of good info thanks for sharing, My doughter
is almost 2….has severe eczema and I am trying to give her this supplements so
far we take vitamins, flax oil, vitamin C E …calcium…
I will look for the rest……What kind of meet do you consume???

I totally understand your concern. My daughter, now 11 months, has been
suffering from eczema since she was 2. I’ve always tried the natural approach
for the best of my abilities…about 3 months ago, her skin was sooooo rough,
and itchy that she felt like sand paper and she looked like a monkey scratching
all day and night long. I kept moisturizing her with shea butter, applying
coconut oil, etc… Making a long story short, one terrible afternoon, she had
to be rushed to the emergency room, she was suffering anaphylaxis shock, from a
small piece of fish, I gave her to taste. At the hospital…I had no control of
what was injected on her…For three days, I prayed that whatever was given to
her didn’t cause more harm than good. But, since her life was on the line…I
didn’t reject the treatment….Once we got home…the horribly rough skin
started to peel off… and a couple of dayslater her skin was feeling like she
did when she was first born…for the first time, she was
able to hang around the house on her diapers, wear shorts and short sleeve
shirts…Once a stranger touched her, and said " wow you’re a soft baby!" I
almost cried!!!I was sooooo happy and aliviated…I didn’t realize how much of
me her skin condition was destroying. WE both felt like another person. Now,
I’m using the Cetaphil as a mousturizer and she’s been doing really well. A
couple of weeks ago a few dry patches showed up…I think it’s due to my eating
though…..I’ve slacked since her skin was looking sooo good….My fault…I
totally understand how you feel…I also feel that the drugs and commercial
moisturizers are not the best thing for her….but I have to do what makes her
feel better!!! Whatever that may be! Keep in Touch,
Meivy

Meivy so glad to hear that you daughter is ok. I just
want to comment on the food allergies. I suffered with
severe eczema as well as my son does. We are both
allergic to fish, shellfish, tree nuts, melon, avacado
and banana. He is allergic to milk although I am not
but I wonder if I was as a baby because I am lactose
intolerat today. I really feel that when our kids get
any trace ammounts of these in there food it inflames
the eczema and not enough to cause the anaphylaxis. I
know that if my son gets any food with a milk protein
in it his eczema will flare, but if he gets straight
milk/dairy he will go into the full anaphylaxis
problem. I think all eczema suffers should get allergy
testing.
I was wondering if they gave your daughter steriod in
the hospital which cleared her skin? Have you decided
to use topical ones? I also tried the natural way with
no help and returned back to using steriods (very
sparingly) and aquaphor. Maybe this is not the best
approach but his skin is way better and he is much
happier. He too can run around the house in short
sleeves/diaper and I dont have to worry about the
itching. He is 2 years old and his skin was affecting
his play and learning time and if the steriods are
helping him to have more a "normal" life then that is
what I have decided to stick with. When I suffered
with severe eczema 30 years ago, the only option was
steriods. My mother used them all the time on me and
seem to be ok with no heath concerns.
Once again sorry to hear about your emergency room
trip but glad to hear she is good.
I notice my son seems to be worse after we eat beef so we tend to
mostly eat chicken, lamb and pork. A nutritionist recently told me
that beef is the meat that most people are allergic to. We do eat
beef but only occassionally - maybe once a fortnight.
We tend to stay away from cured meats too because of the nitrates they
contain.
my allergist prescrive the junior epi pen in case of this check with your it
is very easy to use, I did not used yet but I have it just in case.

Meivy Santos,
Read story about your baby being cured and I am joyful
for you. I’ve been troubled with atopic dermatitis
(eczema) for many years and my Dermatologist advised
me to use Cetaphil instead of soap and after rinsing
the first time (after using it as "soap" for
cleansing) you can reapply some more and leave it on
without further rinsing.
Have a question: you mentioned that your baby was
taken to emergency and was given some treatment
(shots??). Do you know what treatment she was given as
it was shortly afterwards that her rough skin peeled
off and eventually her skin became normal.
Karena,
Your post has two basic questions, first regarding
milk intolerance and the second concerning food
allergies. Suggest the following to help you better
understand those topics:
First, go to the search engine Google and enter the
key words, "Lactose intolerance" and you will get many
hits. Select ones involving NIH (National Institute of
Health) or Mayo Clinic, for example to get a
fundamental understanding of the issues, then, armed
with this info, you can explore other links with a
better level of confidence because some sites just
want you to buy their products rather than inform
Second, do the same as above (Google) but use the key
words, "Food Allergy" and get a good grounding about
the differences between a food allergy and food
intolerance.
By the way, there are many search engines other than
"Google" so use the one you prefer.
Wow, so many new people on the list in the past week. I am Kelly, I
have a 3yo son with eczema which we have basically cured using
vitamin/mineral supplements and a healthy diet.
This is what I give my son.
B Complex Vitamins - one tablet a day
Vitamin C - at least 250mg
Vitamin E - at least 400IU
A general multivitamin daily
Zinc - 50mg - don’t give more than 100mg
Magnesium - 100mg (of elemental mg)
Organic sulphur in the form of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
Fish Oil - 2000mg (or flax seed oil 1tbs per 100lb body weight)
Evening Primrose Oil - 1000mg

Digestive enzymes.
Betaine HCl
You could also add in some Lecithin. I don’t use it as my son is

I my attempt to find a solution to my eczema which is very severe and very
drying, my internet research brought up the fact that people with extreme eczema
and dermatitis may have an immune system imbalance. Has anyone everyone had
this checked and if so how do I go about discussing it with my doctor? I just
know that there has to be something else wrong other that just "sensitive skin"
as everyone tells me.
Thanks

I believe there is some immune system problem, some
liver function problem, some kidney function problem,
some gut issues. We have been trying to address these
issues for a couple of years with my daughter who is
only 3 1/2. In the mean time, I have always tried to
use only natural products for skin care. I have to
tell you, it hasn’t gottene me far yet. I believe in
it, but just recently, I have resorted to trying some
topical steroid ointment and aquaphor ointment
(petroleum based ointment). It has done more for the
appearance of her skin than any natural product. The
problem is, in my heart, I believe I may be shutting
off a natural response to release toxins. And if I am
doing that, what effect does that have on her? I told
myself I would only do this for a couple of weeks,
just to give her skin and body a break from this
constant misery. Any ideas on if I can continue if
this is helping her be comfortable? I don’t want to
cause more harm than good. I just want her to be able
to live for a little while without a severe rash and
itch.

I believe the root cause is gut permeability due to microbes or food
intolerance such as inability to digest glutten and/or diary due to
shortage of appropriate enzymes. Semi-digested protein complex then
enters blood stream which are then deposited under the skin when the
liver could not detoxify them fast enought.
The first step is to heal the gut with L-glutamine to restore healthy
villi and mucous membraine in the gut. Avoid allergic foods such as
gluten and diary etc until gut permeability is resolved.
Just my two cents.

Hi Terri,
I spent the last few years researching Psoriasis. In
my studies I found all skin issues to originate from
one or several basic sources: inflammation or
permeability in the intestinal tract, food or chemical
sensitivities, or emotional disturbance. I agree that
skin disorders are our bodies brilliant sign of toxic
overload, whether physical, mental, or emotional.
Each person detoxes differently, and it’s my belief
that I detox greatly through my skin. Possibly the
other major organs in my body are overloaded: lungs,
liver, kidneys. The skin is the largest organ of the
body; we must expect some forms of detox via this
avenue. Some people are more sensitive than others.
I will list sources of toxins that some find, upon
removal, help the issue: heavy metals (ie mercury
amalgams (Hal Huggins), bridges, tap water… filter
on kitchen spout and shower help!); toxic air
(toxifies lungs… air filter in car and house is an
option I have not tried); house chemicals (pesticides
on food and in lawn or garden… use natura
detergents, soaps, cleaners, pestcides, antifungals,
etc in your own home and BUY ORGANIC!!!); nightshade
veggies (tomatoes, eggplant, green/red peppers, white
potatoes, paprika (John Pagano)… the lists vary
between researchers, so do your own research and
illiminate if you wish); cooked food (same say cooking
food kills it, and eating only raw fruits and veggies
can detox the body best… it helped me some, still
trying the discipline!); root canals (the stuff used
to fill teeth can shrink after pacement and allow
toxins from the mouth to seep into the blood stream-
book "Root Canal Cover Up"); pent-up anger, jealousy,
etc (from book "Skin Deep"); candida albicans (yeast
overload in the organs). That’s all I can remember
now.
We’re all different, so what may work for one person
may not work for another. A lot of people say to
start by illiminating chemical toxins, cleaning the
diet, adding positive intention, and drinking purified
water. If you’re not going to go for the RAW diet,
which is definitely extreme, I read in many books that
illiminating processed foods, refined sugar/flour/salt
is very important. Buying food soaked in pesticides
and other chemicals can’t be good for anyone, in my
opinion. Our bodies are just smarter than those other
people’s bodies :)-smiles.
As for diet, dairy might not be as positive for us as
the milk company tells us it is, especially cheese…
you can experiment and notice any signs of stomach
disorder once you illiminate it for a while then
reintroduce (you can do the illimination method with
any food to determine allergies). Also, whole grains
are best (sprouted grain bread seems to work best for
me if I must choose to eat any of it). However, the
grinded grains in the form of flour reduces minerals
and produces goos in our bellies that slows time of
digestion. The issue of meat is in the air; many
people say in order to detox, meat protein is
necessary. Others say meat is a toxin, stating
researched proof. All sources say if you eat meat,
buy organic meat without antibiotics, etc. A raw
salad every day is important.
Maybe illiminate nightshades and then reintroduce one
by one to see if you react. If sigs of Candida
overload are present in the body, reduce sugar (honey,
molassas, date, maybe fruit too), and take
probiotics. Many books on the market discuss
anti-candida protocols, including "Body Ecology Diet,"
"Candida Albicans," "The Yeast Connection".
Yeah, it’s a lot. You can use your intuition to see
what might contribute to our personal body’s recovery.
Some people say it’s a long road, while others find
instant relief by illiminating one or more substances.
For me, it’s a long road. I feel I have not given
adequate time for the diets. I give in too soon.
Keep in mind, this info is from researching the P,
however the paragraph before last is important all
around the board. Thanks. Best wishes. b.

Is L-glutamine safe to take? I have heard bad things about it that it is
an excitotoxin or something like MSG? Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Do you have anything specific you can send a link to in regards to eczema and
immune system? I would be interested to read it.
I have had eczema since college (I am about to turn 34). Mostly severe. It
has been better recently. While getting allergy testing, the Dr discovered I
have a low immune system. I now get replacement treatments for my immune
system (IGG) and it has helped my eczema. I think it would be worth asking your
Dr. about. I feel as though my Dr. found out my accident.

Please read about L-glutamine in article below. L-glutamine is
completely safe, even for children, as it is one of the natural
amino acids, a component of natural protein. It is food for villi of
the gut and food for brain. If you have a headache, don’t take
aspirin, take a teaspoon of L-glutamine powder in a glass of water.
Your headache will simply disappear within minutes.
It is not in any way linked to MSG.
ymp
L-glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in the bloodstream and
because human cells readily synthesize it, is usually considered a
non-essential amino acid. It is found in high concentration in
skeletal muscle, lung, liver, brain, and stomach tissue. Skeletal
muscle contains the greatest intracellular concentration of
glutamine, comprising up to 60 percent of total body glutamine
stores, and is considered the primary storage depot and exporter of
glutamine to other tissues. Under certain pathological circumstances
the body’s tissues need more glutamine than the amount supplied by
diet and biosynthesis. During catabolic stress intracellular
glutamine levels can drop more than 50 percent, and it is under
these circumstances that supplemental glutamine becomes necessary.
[1] In times of metabolic stress, glutamine is released into
circulation, where it is transported to the tissue in need.
Intracellular skeletal muscle glutamine concentration is affected by
various insults, including injury, sepsis, prolonged stress,
starvation, and the use of glucocorticoids. Therefore, glutamine has
been re-classified as a conditionally essential amino acid. Research
demonstrates glutamine supplementation may be beneficial when added
to total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for surgery, trauma, and cancer
patients. In addition, evidence suggests it may provide benefit for
certain gastrointestinal conditions, wound healing, critically ill
neonates, HIV/AIDS patients, immune enhancement in endurance
athletes, and prevention of complications associated with
chemotherapy, radiation, and bone marrow transplant.[1,2]

I read that eczema and asthma may both have allergetic causes. I went on a
raw diet for a month or so and realized a great suppression of psoriatic redness
and itching. Also, no allergies… and I’m in North Carolina!!! If you know
anything about nutrition and diet, head that ruite first. It’s very important
to know what to eat to help your body heal. I posted something about it
recently in this forum. Thanks!

Hey Blair -
My only concern with going all raw is that it might be tough on my system.
What was your diet like? I hate to ask for really mundane information, but
that’s where I usually get screwed up.
What are you avoiding, specifically? Have you found anything that’s troubling
you that was a bit of a surprise?
Has anyone said what a pain in the ass this is lately?

Keith,
I got off the raw diet for a while. I’m trying to re-integrate it into my
diet. I ate a lot of salads and fruits and nuts as snacks. I read that soaked
and sprouted seeds and nuts are important, however I never went to that level.
I avoided the nightshades, for the most part. This next time, for the cleanse,
I’m gonna try to eat primarily veggies… maybe soaked seeds and nuts if it gets
too intense. Have you tried UVB narrow band light therapy? It helps me right
now. Less redness. The skin doesn’t look so scarry. What’s going on with you?
My only concern with going all raw is that it might be tough on my system. What

are best (sprouted grain bread seems to work best for

Maybe illiminate nightshades and then reintroduce one

Yeah, it’s a lot. You can use your intuition to see

For me, it’s a long road. I feel I have not given

The sun gives off Ultra-violet B and A rays. Supposedly the UVB rays are most
beneficial for healing. Most dermitologists offer this treatment; the rays like
those from the sun emit from a lightbulb. The patient stands in a light box
wearing glasses, beginning with a small amount of light then increasing the time
at each visit. Some dermitologists reccommed creams to use with the light
therapy, however there are drawbacks. I choose to solely use the lights because
there are minimal side effects. I reccommend doing some google research before
heading to see the doc, so you can know for ourself what you want. It’s your
body; your choice. Any other questions, please ask. I’ll tell you what I’ve
researched. Stay positive! b.

My only concern with going all raw is that it might be tough on my system. What
was your diet like? I hate to ask for really mundane information, but that’s
where I usually get screwed up.
What are you avoiding, specifically? Have you found anything that’s troubling
you that was a bit of a surprise?
Has anyone said what a pain in the ass this is lately?
K
I spent the last few years researching Psoriasis. In
my studies I found all skin issues to originate from
one or several basic sources: inflammation or
permeability in the intestinal tract, food or chemical
sensitivities, or emotional disturbance. I agree that
skin disorders are our bodies brilliant sign of toxic
overload, whether physical, mental, or emotional.
Each person detoxes differently, and it’s my belief
that I detox greatly through my skin. Possibly the
other major organs in my body are overloaded: lungs,
liver, kidneys. The skin is the largest organ of the
body; we must expect some forms of detox via this
avenue. Some people are more sensitive than others.
I will list sources of toxins that some find, upon
removal, help the issue: heavy metals (ie mercury
amalgams (Hal Huggins), bridges, tap water… filter
on kitchen spout and shower help!); toxic air
(toxifies lungs… air filter in car and house is an
option I have not tried); house chemicals (pesticides
on food and in lawn or garden… use natura
detergents, soaps, cleaners, pestcides, antifungals,
etc in your own home and BUY ORGANIC!!!); nightshade
veggies (tomatoes, eggplant, green/red peppers, white
potatoes, paprika (John Pagano)… the lists vary
between researchers, so do your own research and
illiminate if you wish); cooked food (same say cooking
food kills it, and eating only raw fruits and veggies
can detox the body best… it helped me some, still
trying the discipline!); root canals (the stuff used
to fill teeth can shrink after pacement and allow
toxins from the mouth to seep into the blood stream-
book "Root Canal Cover Up"); pent-up anger, jealousy,
etc (from book "Skin Deep"); candida albicans (yeast
overload in the organs). That’s all I can remember
now.
We’re all different, so what may work for one person

I am in so much pain today…my skin is very dry and wrinkled and nothing I put
on seems to soften and give relief. My body also gives off this sick smell. I
have to do something because my dermatologist appt is not until 12-01-05. Does
anyone have any suggestions to get me through the week? I am in so much agony

I am sorry you are hurting Terri. I know one person
in this group reccommended taking a bath with a whole
box of baking soda when his skin was really irritated.
Then apply your moisturizer before drying off, maybe
that will help. Which moisturizer? Naturalists say
african shea butter…..others say aquaphor or
something petroleum based. I don’t have the answers
for that for sure, we just keep trying.

Hi Terri and Keith,
My diet is so very much changed from when it was when my skin condition was
at its worse. It has been many years of trial and error to find what worked
and what didn’t and there are still changes with my body and with foods I
once thought were safe for me. I have to remember when I break my routine
to not be so hard on myself and not to be so extreme in breaking that
routine. I am not always so dilligent.
When I have fallen off the wagon of eating what is and works for me to keep
me healthy, I climb back on with a tall glass of very cold tomato juice. I
home-can mine so maybe a juicer would work better for you to get unaltered
juices of vegetables and fruits your body allows. Go lightly, adding a bit
of water to dilute them slightly. Then I eat very clean, plain and within
2-3 days I am feeling better, body not aching or swollen and my right hand
not hurting and swollen and I’m back on the road to eating well again. Also
it is important to rest; drink lots of filtered water, warm it with some
honey if is it soothing for you. After a day or so drink whatever herbal tea
you can tolerate. Then I begin again with one meal/snack at a time to love
myself more than the foods that I indulged in that make me so ill.
I have found for me a lotion my mom introduced me to …cetaphil. I think
Walgreens sells it. It costs about $8 a bottle and I can only use the pump
container type. The other types of this lotion have ingredients in it that I
cannot tolerate.
I also use Avon Perfumed Skin Softerner in the jar. My hands are always
quite dry and this does not sting when I apply it. It last long and at
present I do not seem to be bothered by it. It’s probably not the best to
use but for now and my income it works.
Blessings to you,
Katlee

Terri-
Try soaking in an Epson Salt bath… use the entire large carton of salts in
steaming hot water. Make water as hot as you can stand…. but not scalding.
The bath should last approximately 20 minutes. Then, before drying off, apply
raw shea butter. You can get this at a health food store, and a little goes a
long way. If you are unable to find the shea butter, you may try an olive oil
mix in the same manner. I find that Shea Butter works best for me. If you are
in great agony, I suggest going one to 2 days eating only raw foods: unprocessed
fruits, veggies, buts and seeds. It’s simple and fun. Practice conscious, deep
breathing, taking air slowly into the belly then feeling it rise to fill your
shest cavity. This will help bring peace of mind and help detox. If you are
constipated, try an enema. It’s highly possibly that your body wants to detox,
and your skin is its venue. You mention a sick smell… this is a sign of
toxicity in the body. Open up other chanels.
Look within. The raw foods are healing. Lost of water is crucial… try for a
gallon a day or as you can handle. Best wishes! Keep breathing.
Terri

One more thing… I like to remove scales on the skin near the end of the bath
once the skin is nice ans soft. It causes less irritability of the skin when
exiting the bath. Some people suggest to use a scrub brush, however when the
skin is so inflammed, that hurts! I use the pads of my fingers and press as
firmly as necessary, rocking the fingers back and forth. Flakes remove fairly
easily, if you have any.

i think the same kind of thing was just happening to me - I was trying to
moisturize and it was as iff my skin wouldn’t even take it in. Maybe something
in your diet is really bothering you - or maybe it’s something you were exposed
to. I had to eliminate a lot of things from my diet for a few days and I’m
recovering now, even tho’ my skin is really red and irritated, it’s obviously
healing. You may know what’s bothering you, which would make it easier.
I would even cut back on certain fruits - orange juice was a big problem for
me, among others. Warm showers do me well, but I can’t really standd baths. I
only use Aveeno and anything with perfume or any kind of lanolin makes my skin
go crazy - that means no wool for me, either.
Try to eliminate what might be bothering you and be easy on yourself. I got so
depressed when my skin got so bad after doing so well, but it’s healing again
and I’m feeling better too. You can heal this, but it’s going to take a lot of
time. Try to be easy on yourself and try to take this as a part of the healing
process. I hope that it helps.
And I know so many people recommend against it, but a good pain killer is just
the thing sometimes…

Terry,
One of my favorite remedy’s is to add several tablespoons of Pure Virgin
Coconut Oil to a bath. In your case, you might want to add more. Get in,
soak, relax - you will feel tremendous relief immediately. Also, you must
get some Fish Oil internally. Go to the health food store and pick up Flax
Oil, Fish Oil Caps (a good brand such as Carlson’s), Primrose Oil, and
Borage Oil. Take these every day in your diet and start drinking pure water
and a lot of it. You can start with one half of your body weight in ounces
So if you are say, 150 lbs., drink 75 - 80 ozs of water per day at the
minimum. Before you go to bed, rub on some more coconut oil all over your
body. DO NOT use mineral oil. Change you diet to fruits and vegetables,
seeds and nuts, sprouts, vegetable soups, broths. Get rid of as much toxic
food as you can out of your diet. You can change these things slowly over
time, you don’t have to do everything all at once. Another thing I would
suggest is to get your lymph moving. Get one of those exercise balls and
sit on it and bounce. Or if you can afford it get a rebounder, and not a
cheap one as it will break your ankles and knees down over time. The other
inexpensive and free thing to do is to start doing DEEP BREATHING. You can
e-mail me for directions. But basically, it is quickly in through your
teeth like a blast, then blast out the same way, breathe in again, out again
in again and out to the count of four. Do this many times per day. You
will begin to start to feel better inside of the week, and then you can at
least investigate what is the more severe problem you are really dealing
with. But this is a good start.

I am sorry you are hurting Terri. I know one person
in this group reccommended taking a bath with a whole
box of baking soda when his skin was really irritated.
Then apply your moisturizer before drying off, maybe
that will help. Which moisturizer? Naturalists say
african shea butter…..others say aquaphor or
something petroleum based. I don’t have the answers
for that for sure, we just keep trying.

Hey Terri,
I have read some replies to you and it seems like you
need immediate relief. I think a long bath soak will
do wonders. It should be long that your fingers are
starting to shrivle. Immediately use moisturizer do
not dry off much. The best "immediate" relief I feel
would be vaseline or aquaphor or even crisco
shortening. Put a ton on and I mean a ton. Then
wet/dampen some tight fitted clothing, ie: long johns,
socks, pj’s or something light. Then put some dry
clothes over the top. If you repeat this 2 or 3 times
in a day, I know you will feel better. The wet wrap
really helps to keep that moisture near your skin.
Make sure after doing this a few times you let your
skin breathe for a little bit. I also feel this helps
the most if you do this regimen before bed. You can
always take some antihistamine. Benedryl, Zyrtec,
Clairitn. I suggest Benedryl because you can take it
more often. Don’t be affraid to take it often to give
you some immediate relief. My son suffers severe
eczema and I have tried this and it helps him
tremendously, I also have severly dry skin. Sometimes
in the winter my skin hurts to move and I will do this
and feel 100% better. I see there is a lot of caring
people who have given you suggestions. I hope your
spirits are lifted and your skin feels better. Try one
or try them all. Obviously anything is worth a try at
this point. Good luck and please let us know how you
are doing. I will pray that you find relief!!

I have been getting a drier and drier scalp and I am losing hair now. I also
have incredibly bad dandruff and I can’t seem to moisturize it well. Any
shampoos have been a problem, including psoriasis shampoos.
Does anyone have any good way of dealing with this? I am really coming up
blank.

Keith,
Someone recently told me they tried raw African Shea Butter on the scalp.
Have you tried any natural shampoos or scalp ointments?
Does anyone have any good way of dealing with this? I am really coming up

Have you tried Pure Virgin Coconut Oil on your scalp. You can put it on at
night and shower it off in the am. Or leave it on an hour before you take a
shower.

I too have had many problems with my son’s dry itchy scalp. We have
used T-Gel shampoo, Denorex, Head and Shoulders, Baby Shampoo, and
even a Tea Tree Oil Shampoo, none of these worked. I have been using
Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Pure Castile Soap on his body and also his
hair and scalp. It has worked wonders. His scalp looks really good.
I have been using it for about a month now and I really think it is
great. It is 100% Vegan. The ingredients are as follows: water,
saponified organic coconut & olive oils (w/retained glycerin)
organic hemp oil, organic jojoba oil, citric acid, vitamin E. That
was taken straight from the bottle. It is even pretty cheap. I got
mine at www.drugstore.com. Try it!
Karena
April 22nd, 2006 at 9:10 am
Did the Castile Soap work on the dry skin on his body? My body is so dry and the
dry itches so badly that I feel like I am cursed. Also have anyone ever tried
the tar soap for body and hair?
Karena

Yes, the Castile soap has been good for his skin as
well. Although using any kind of soap is still drying
if you don’t moisturize. He soaks in a bath with
oatmeal everynight for at least 15 minutes and without
really drying his skin immediately putting a lot of
Aquaphor everywhere. This helps so much that I really
only have to apply moisture to his skin once a day,
after the bath. If I apply a moisturizer to his dry
skin with no bath, it will get irritated. I also know
this from experience, I suffered with Eczema myself.
Today I don’t have flare ups but extremely dry skin. I
also have been using the Castile soap and think it is
great. I personally use LacHydrin lotion. It’s a
lactic acid lotion and it really burns if you have
irritated skin but it is worth the results.
Terri, I saw that there was a lot of suggestions for
you. Did you try some of them out? What did or didn’t
help?
I haven’t used the tar soap.
Good luck to you. Remember you are not cursed, but you
have to keep up on the skin. Taking care of it is a
neverending battle and you can’t skip a day or you
will have to keep starting over.

Dandruff is a sign of Vitamin B2 deficiency. Supplementing with
this Vitamin can eliminate dandruff. Try taking a high potency Vit
B complex. You need to take the complex and not just B2 as they all
work together synergistically. I have managed to reduce my sons
eczema by about 95% using just vitamins, minerals and supplements.
Kelly
April 26th, 2006 at 3:07 am
Can anyone explain this? I have light eczema in many places all over my body
and I’ve bene controlling these by a very limited diet, but I went off that on
Thanksgiving and my skin flared up. The wierd thing is that my skin only flared
up in certain places, like my neck. Other large patches weren’t aggravated at
all.
Why would their be such an isolated reaction? Between the scalp eczema and my
neck, these have to be the two most annoying places to have this.
I am going to try and increase my vitamin B intake this week (with a B-multi)
to see what that does. I’ve heard there are chances of overdosing on B. What’s
the limit and what are the effects - anyone know?
Thanks everyone.
Keith
April 26th, 2006 at 7:11 pm
Hi,
You can’t overdose on B vitamins, they are water soluble. If you
take more than your body needs, you just pee it out-you will notice
your urine turns yellow. Vitamin C is the same, any excess is lost
through your urine.
This is what B Vitamins do:
B1 - Needed to produce HCl in your stomach, healthy nervous system
B2 - Eliminates dandruff. Helps healthy skin/hair/nails. Increases
oxygen in skin tissue. Cracks in the corner of your mouth is a
deficiency symptom.
B3 - Helps healthy skin, improved circulation. Needed for healthy
nervous & digestive system, HCl production
B5 - Converts foods into energy. Allergy relief, increases wound
healing. Produces steriods and cortisone in adrenal gland
B6 - This vitamin is involved in more bodily function than any other
single nutrient, improved physical/mental health, needed for HCl
production, absorption of fats/proteins, maintains sodium/potassium
balance, activates many enzymes, aids B12 use, helpful in treatment
of allergies
B12 - Needed for digestion, growth/repair of tissue. Helps
nervous/digestive system.
Biotin - Needed for fatty acid production, aids cell growth, healthy
skin/hair. Deficiency may cause seborrheic dermatitis
Choline - needed for lecithin formation
Folic Acid - Brain Food
Inositol - Lecithin formation, prevents eczema, calming effect.
PABA - Protects against sunburn/skin cancer.
You take them all together in a B-Complex Vitamin but you can take
more of one as well to treat a particular condition.

I have a doctor’s appt on Thursday. This is going to be the first time I can
actually say that I am excited. I am hoping to get some help this time. Anyway,
everyone in the group seems to have a handle on their eczema such as controlling
it through diet. Does anyone have any suggestions on tests that the
dermatologist might do just to rule out any other problems that might make my
eczema worse? My family practice doctor have already tested me for a variety of
other illnesses such as thyroid, diabetes. So what should I ask because they
will not volunteer testing for certain causes?
April 27th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
You might want to see if there’s any way that you can check on your liver & gall
bladder functions, vitamin deficiencies, etc.
I really think diet is the key. Diet and making sure that your body is able
to filter out impurities thru the normal ways and not via the skin.
I am also looking into pH and keeping my body alkaline. So far, it looks like
the same advice you always hear: no coffee, alcohol, bread, etc. - plenty of
greens…
Has anyone tried this approach?

April 27th, 2006 at 9:51 pm
Hi Meivy,
This is what I give my son.
B Complex Vitamins - one tablet a day
Vitamin C - at least 250mg
Vitamin E - at least 100IU
A general multivitamin daily
Zinc - 50mg - don’t give more than 100mg
Magnesium - 100mg (of elemental mg)
Organic sulphur in the form of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
Fish Oil - 3000mg
Cod Liver Oil - 1000mg
Probiotics - Lactobacillus GG
Digestive enzymes.
Coenzyme Q10 - one daily.
You could also add in some Lecithin. I don’t use it as my son is
allergic to eggs and soy which is what supplemental lecithin is made
from.
Also Flax seed oil - we used this originally and it helps alot.
We’re now trialing the fish oil instead. Dose for flaxseed is 1 tbs
per 100 pounds body weight.
This is why I use them. Firstly, being a 2yo, he doesn’t eat a
whole lot of vegies. And due to modern farming methods and use of
fertilisers, most of our fruit/veg are deficient in nutrients
anyway. There are cases of Oranges being grown in commercial
orchards which have NO vitamin C in them at all. Where I live
(Western Australia) there is no zinc in the soil anyway - so any
vegetarians who only eat organic food here would definetly be Zinc
deficient. Plus commercial fertilisers usually contain cadmium
which is a toxic mineral (like mercury is) which accumulates in the
body and prevents you from absorbing zinc. Fortunately, you do get
zinc from meat and my son loves that.
This is what these vits/mins do.
B Complex - needed for healthy skin, healthy nervous system,
metabolism of foods, oxygen in skin tissue, improves circulation,
produces HCl (hydrochloric acid) in your stomach which is needed for
digestion (most people with chronic eczema are deficient in HCl),
allergy relief, helps healing, growth/repair of tissue, lecithin
formation, calming effect.
Vitamin C - Tissue growth/repair, collagen formation which gives
skin structural integrity. Protects against effects of pollution,
cancer, infection, enhances immunity. Vit C & E work well together.
Vitamin E - Protects EFA’s. Necessary for tissue repair, promotes
healthy skin. Prevents cancer/heart disease. Needs zinc to
maintain Vit E in blood.
Lecithin - Helps absorption of EFA’s. Is found in all cells - 25%
of dry brain weight.
Magnesium - Cofactor in 300 different enzyme reactions. Deficieny
is expressed by dry skin and allergy symptoms. Deficiency increases
histamine release. Sugar causes deficiency. Helps insomnia.
Potassium - Deficiency causes dry skin. Helps kidneys eliminate
waste from body.
Sulphur - Disinfects blood, protects against toxins, collagen
synthesis, needed for digestion, reduces histamine, detoxes body,
relieves allergies, helps stomach pH, aids vit/mineral utilisation,
helps wound healing.
Zinc - Helps for HCl, conversion of EFA’s functioning of oil
producing glands, healthy immune system, wound healing.
Coenzyme Q10 - Enhances immune system, benefits asthma, allergies,
counters histamine.
To get a child to take these -
Tablets - cut into small pieces and give with a little honey a few
bits at a time.
Vit E and fish oils - pierce capsules and squeeze into juice.
MSM - we have one which makes an orange flavoured drink. Our zinc
is a liquid which we add to the drink along with oils.
If they are reluctant, you can always bribe with lollies. Plain
white lollies (ie white marshmallows) are good as they have no
additives/colours in them.
Probiotics/digestive enzymes - open capsules, sprinkle over foods
and mix in.
We also have a diet which is completely free of harmful
additives/colours/flavours. We eat no junk food, no soft drinks,
don’t use pre-prepared packaged foods/sauces etc. Our diet is
mostly meat, fresh fruit/veg, additive free breads, rice/grains.
Please note I am not trained in nutrition, I’m just a mum with a
very itchy kid who reads an awful lot of books. When it comes to
doses, some I have read, with others I just read what the
recommended dose is on the bottle and give my son a weight adjusted
proportion. (Ie, he weighs 14 kilos so I give him about 1/5 of an
adult dose if an adult weights 70kg).
The results we have had are:
Before - constantly itchy, very dry knuckles, elbows, knees. Our
son has had to wear long pants/boots for the last 2 years or he
would have torn himself apart whenever unsupervised. Never slept
well due to itching. For him, his skin had a few dry patches but
generally the rest of his skin wasn’t dry, just covered with eczema
rash. The doctors advice of "lots of moisturiser" was completely
useless and the moisturiser never worked on his dry skin anyway. It
didn’t improve until we treated it from the inside.
Now he is wearing a pair of shorts and sandals for the first time
ever. He sleeps all night (magnesium really helps this) and no
longer wears mittens to bed. When he does scratch, he generally
stops scratching long before he draws blood. If he does have an
eczema outbreak, it heals very fast. It is easier to see what foods
etc triggers his eczema as his skin isn’t constantly inflammed.
We also try to feed him more alkaline forming foods (fruits and veg)
rather than meat/grains/dairy. When he has lots of raw fruit/veg he
is particularly good but again it’s not easy getting a toddler to
eat these. We juice vegetables and mix it with apple juice for
flavour for him. Carrot juice is particulary good as it provide
beta carotene which is converted into Vitamin A.
That’s enough ranting for now. Feel free to ask any more question.

Hi Nikki:
I totally understand your concern. My daughter, now 11 months, has been
suffering from eczema since she was 2. I’ve always tried the natural approach
for the best of my abilities…about 3 months ago, her skin was sooooo rough,
and itchy that she felt like sand paper and she looked like a monkey scratching
all day and night long. I kept moisturizing her with shea butter, applying
coconut oil, etc… Making a long story short, one terrible afternoon, she had
to be rushed to the emergency room, she was suffering anaphylaxis shock, from a
small piece of fish, I gave her to taste. At the hospital…I had no control of
what was injected on her…For three days, I prayed that whatever was given to
her didn’t cause more harm than good. But, since her life was on the line…I
didn’t reject the treatment….Once we got home…the horribly rough skin
started to peel off… and a couple of dayslater her skin was feeling like she
did when she was first born…for the first time, she was
able to hang around the house on her diapers, wear shorts and short sleeve
shirts…Once a stranger touched her, and said " wow you’re a soft baby!" I
almost cried!!!I was sooooo happy and aliviated…I didn’t realize how much of
me her skin condition was destroying. WE both felt like another person. Now,
I’m using the Cetaphil as a mousturizer and she’s been doing really well. A
couple of weeks ago a few dry patches showed up…I think it’s due to my eating
though…..I’ve slacked since her skin was looking sooo good….My fault…I
totally understand how you feel…I also feel that the drugs and commercial
moisturizers are not the best thing for her….but I have to do what makes her
feel better!!! Whatever that may be! Keep in Touch,
Meivy
Nikki

Meivy so glad to hear that you daughter is ok. I just
want to comment on the food allergies. I suffered with
severe eczema as well as my son does. We are both
allergic to fish, shellfish, tree nuts, melon, avacado
and banana. He is allergic to milk although I am not
but I wonder if I was as a baby because I am lactose
intolerat today. I really feel that when our kids get
any trace ammounts of these in there food it inflames
the eczema and not enough to cause the anaphylaxis. I
know that if my son gets any food with a milk protein
in it his eczema will flare, but if he gets straight
milk/dairy he will go into the full anaphylaxis
problem. I think all eczema suffers should get allergy
testing.
I was wondering if they gave your daughter steriod in
the hospital which cleared her skin? Have you decided
to use topical ones? I also tried the natural way with
no help and returned back to using steriods (very
sparingly) and aquaphor. Maybe this is not the best
approach but his skin is way better and he is much
happier. He too can run around the house in short
sleeves/diaper and I dont have to worry about the
itching. He is 2 years old and his skin was affecting
his play and learning time and if the steriods are
helping him to have more a "normal" life then that is
what I have decided to stick with. When I suffered
with severe eczema 30 years ago, the only option was
steriods. My mother used them all the time on me and
seem to be ok with no heath concerns.
Once again sorry to hear about your emergency room
trip but glad to hear she is good.

Hi Pamela,
I notice my son seems to be worse after we eat beef so we tend to
mostly eat chicken, lamb and pork. A nutritionist recently told me
that beef is the meat that most people are allergic to. We do eat
beef but only occassionally - maybe once a fortnight.
We tend to stay away from cured meats too because of the nitrates they
contain.
Cheers,
Kelly

started to peel off… and a couple of dayslater her skin was feeling like she
did when she was first born…for the first time, she was
able to hang around the house on her diapers, wear shorts and short sleeve
shirts…Once a stranger touched her, and said " wow you’re a soft baby!" I
almost cried!!!I was sooooo happy and aliviated…I didn’t realize how much of
me her skin condition was destroying. WE both felt like another person. Now,
I’m using the Cetaphil as a mousturizer and she’s been doing really well. A
couple of weeks ago a few dry patches showed up…I think it’s due to my eating
though…..I’ve slacked since her skin was looking sooo good….My fault…I
totally understand how you feel…I also feel that the drugs and commercial
moisturizers are not the best thing for her….but I have to do what makes her
feel better!!! Whatever that may be! Keep in Touch,
Meivy

hello
Thank you …….I notice too beef and for us even chicken we been avoinding
since july and she improve a lot…but for diet we were eating cod fish and pork
we try some turkey last week it seems ok I will try some lamb,,,,
to see how it goes….what kind of brand of probiotic you use…..we were
using culturell www.culturell.com I see so many I do not know what to choose.
pamela;
I notice my son seems to be worse after we eat beef so we tend to
mostly eat chicken, lamb and pork. A nutritionist recently told me
that beef is the meat that most people are allergic to. We do eat
beef but only occassionally - maybe once a fortnight.
We tend to stay away from cured meats too because of the nitrates they
contain.
Cheers,
Kelly

Meivy Santos,
Read story about your baby being cured and I am joyful
for you. I’ve been troubled with atopic dermatitis
(eczema) for many years and my Dermatologist advised
me to use Cetaphil instead of soap and after rinsing
the first time (after using it as "soap" for
cleansing) you can reapply some more and leave it on
without further rinsing.
Have a question: you mentioned that your baby was
taken to emergency and was given some treatment
(shots??). Do you know what treatment she was given as
it was shortly afterwards that her rough skin peeled
off and eventually her skin became normal.
Thank you,
Ching

Karena,
Your post has two basic questions, first regarding
milk intolerance and the second concerning food
allergies. Suggest the following to help you better
understand those topics:
First, go to the search engine Google and enter the
key words, "Lactose intolerance" and you will get many
hits. Select ones involving NIH (National Institute of
Health) or Mayo Clinic, for example to get a
fundamental understanding of the issues, then, armed
with this info, you can explore other links with a
better level of confidence because some sites just
want you to buy their products rather than inform
Second, do the same as above (Google) but use the key
words, "Food Allergy" and get a good grounding about
the differences between a food allergy and food
intolerance.
By the way, there are many search engines other than
"Google" so use the one you prefer.
Take care, Ching

Wow, so many new people on the list in the past week. I am Kelly, I
have a 3yo son with eczema which we have basically cured using
vitamin/mineral supplements and a healthy diet.
This is what I give my son.
B Complex Vitamins - one tablet a day
Vitamin C - at least 250mg
Vitamin E - at least 400IU
A general multivitamin daily
Zinc - 50mg - don’t give more than 100mg
Magnesium - 100mg (of elemental mg)
Organic sulphur in the form of MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
Fish Oil - 2000mg (or flax seed oil 1tbs per 100lb body weight)
Evening Primrose Oil - 1000mg
Cod Liver Oil - 1000mg
Coenzyme Q10 - one daily.
Probiotics - Lactobacillus GG
You could also add in to improve digestion:
Digestive enzymes.
Betaine HCl
You could also add in some Lecithin. I don’t use it as my son is
allergic to eggs and soy which is what supplemental lecithin is made
from.
This is why I use them. Firstly, being a 2yo, he doesn’t eat a
whole lot of vegies. And due to modern farming methods and use of
fertilisers, most of our fruit/veg are deficient in nutrients
anyway. There are cases of Oranges being grown in commercial
orchards which have NO vitamin C in them at all. For example, where
I live (Western Australia) there is no zinc in the soil anyway - so
any vegetarians here would definetly be Zinc deficient. Plus
commercial fertilisers usually contain cadmium which is a toxic
mineral (like
