Struggling with dermatitis
I’m new here, I just found this group today while hoping for some
support. About 3 months ago I started getting a rash and it just
wouldn’t go away. Gradually it worsened and now there are red
blotches of it all over my legs, and even my arms are starting to
break out in itchy bumps. For the life of me I can’t figure out what
is causing it, though I feel it must be an allergen or a vitamin
deficiency maybe. I went to a doctor about a week ago and he gave me
hydrocortisone cream but it hasn’t helped me at all. He didn’t give
me many answers on what could help. I’ve tried a few things myself, I
started taking flaxseed oil and vitamin B complex, also vitamin E.
I’ve been using natural soap and lotion with a water and aloe base
with no alcohol. I started using hypoallergenic detergent and fabric
softener. I thought it may be an allergy to dairy, though i’ve never
have one before this, is it possible to suddenly develop one? It’s
very horrible to look at, and itchy. It frustrates me because
everything i’ve tried hasn’t made a difference. Is anyone out there
able to relate or have some tips for me to try? I would really
appreciate the advice
June 3rd, 2005 at 12:45 am
yes. i have/had it too.
i just did a huge amount of research on the internet.
it’s only technically a skin disease. it’s actually toxins trying to
get out of the body.
i have done a huge number of searches on google.com
psoriasis ayurveda
doshas ayurveda
psoriasis vitamins
psoriasis sun
psoriasis UVB narrow-band
psoriasis toxins
psoriasis diet
psoriasis pollution
treat this affliction on as many fronts as you can, and you will see
results. western "doctors" don’t have even the faintest idea of what
"psoriasis" really is or how to treat it. they can’t even get rid of
the symptoms - how pathetic. stay AWAY from anything these doctors
tell you to take. they only take money. their advice is useless.
psoriasis is not even an "affliction", but a way for the body to
unload toxins when the rest of the body can’t. Psoroasis is also a
wonderful thing - it’s a warning - change your diet and lifestyle
before it’s too late.
treat it on at least these fronts:
identify sources of toxins
get rid of toxins
avoid toxins
neyralize toxins (with green diet)
increase fresh food and vitamin intake
identify vitamins needed
(vitamin B3 is technically a hormone)
get rest
use oil
soak in water to get scales off
don’t eat wrong foods for your body type
(ama means a kind of toxin from undigested food in the body - from
combining wrong foods and eating wrong foods)
search: doshas ayurveda
certain body types should not eat sour and spicy foods.
no humans should eat onions, garlic, overly spicy food, stale food,
processed food, etc.

>no humans should eat onions, garlic, overly spicy food, . . .
Wow, William, what does that say about all the Italians, Indians, the
Orientals, Central and South Americans, etc? Would you please elaborate
more regarding why onions, garlic and overly spicy foods should not be eaten
(I understand why not stale and overly processed foods, but not the other)
I think Dr. Schulze had a Cayenne pepper cure book out, as are there
books regarding the benefits of garlic and even onions, I think.
Thanks,
Marla

haha. hey, me too.
- i just ate some onions yesterday.
we are talking about the majority of the world’s population of course
but it’s not about being in the majority - it’s about eating the right
foods. (usually the people with "correct" habits ("nutritional
protocols") are in not only a minority, but a very tiny one)
i eat all those things. anyway, at least according to ayurveda, these
things are poison, or create poison. in ayurveda (from india) these
are considered to create "ama" (poison or toxins). ama is toxins or
undigested food.
onions and garlic both have allicin / sulfur, which do good things to
the body, but they are also pungent. anyway, just do a search:
google.com
"ayurveda garlic onions" or "hindu garlic onions"
i think even those guys would admit the antiseptic qualities of
allicin / sulfur, etc, but i suppose they say its pungency outweighs
the positives…
garlic and onions and meat are not allowed on the property of hindu temples.

hi Marla
try this out:
have the following products ready:
1- freshly cut onions
2- freshly cut garlic
3- a piece of fresh bread
4- a glass of beer
5- a glass of milk
put these items on a table and offer them to a four-year-old child.
which ones will the child take?
even reconstitued onions from a mcdonald’s hamburger will turn off a
four-year-old child!
try this too:
if you have a cat or dog:
put the followong in different dishes on the floor:
1- milk
2- water
3- beer
which one(s) will be drunk?
garlic is a very potent disinfectant. rub a piece of freshly cut
garlic on the bottom of a person’s foot. five minutes later, that
person will have garlic noticable on the breath.
now, offer the beer to an animal in the middle of the desert with no
other drinks or food around, then you will see te beer eagerly taken.
it seems very spicy foods are eaten in hot places so as to kill any
germs and bacteria in the food, which is more likely to be found in
hot climates.
italians eat very bland food. there are 1.2 billion indians - perhaps
most of them eat spicy or even very spicy food. however some groups in
india are set against eating spicy food. take the Hare Krishna group
for example.
Orientals: I’m in Shanghai now - the Shanghainese don’t like spicy
food. they eat sweet and oily food. I don’t know about sout americans
much. i did work in brazil though for 6 months - they eat quite bland
food there. i taught english in salvador, bahia, where a lot of
african food is eaten - very bland, uses a lot of coconut oil though,
and okra (gumbo). one dish they eat is called acaraje. very nice.
hey, i believe in this guy’s pepper cure - im sure it’s good. but it
doesnt sound lkike it should be eaten normally.
garlic is so strong it can be put on warts to kill them.
saying garlic is either good or bad is too simplistic. it’s like
saying plastic is bad. it depends.

Add a piece of candy to this list, and which do you think they’ll go
for? This is not a valid measure of what our bodies need or should
avoid.

Hi William,
Italians don’t normally eat very bland food. I was weaned on Italian food as my
Grandmother was Italian born. Lots of garlic and fresh herbs and also lots of
chili and fresh vegetables usually homegrown cooked with barrows full of
tomatoes and peppers. Lots of black pepper etc. No I wouldn’t call it bland at
all.

I highly doubt a child would choose anything healthy, be it broccoli, garlic,
onions, or whatever, if it has a strong aroma. That’s just their bodys way of
keeping this bland and gentle until they have developed tolerance for savory
foods. That’s why baby food is nearly devoid of seasonings. Garlic has been used
medicinally for centuries with absolutely no ill effects. It is a wonderful and
beneficial food. Allicin is potent, but not in a bad way. The only concern would
be giving more than 1 RAW clove a day per pound of body weight. This has been
shown to cause a type of anemia in dogs and cats. You can’t trust everything you
read online, so use your intuition. If you would like some clinical data on the
safety and efficacy of garlic, I can email it to you. I have thoroughly
researched a myriad of different supplements and superfoods and have quite the
little library of clinical abstracts. Let me know if you want them.

I wouldn’t say these products are a scam, but you can certainly get the same
ingredients and in PERFECT ratio as it occurs in the body with spirulina and
other superfood supplements. As for collagen, the collagen molecule is much too
big to penetrate the skin. It just sits on the very top layer of the stratum
corneum (dead scales of skin) and does nothing but attract water to itself. I
have found that a mixture of Nutiva coconut oil and Rapunzel avocado oil works
best for stretch marks. Avocado has chemicals in it that stimulate the bodies
natural production of collagen from the inside out. The coconut penetrates
deeply and rapidly and also has an exfoliating effect and helps to heal the
skin. I would also suggest using an enzyme peel like powdered green papaya once
a week (www.cleopatrasbeautysecret.com) and dry brushing your entire body with a
stiff brush before each shower. Use the oil mixture while still damp from the
shower and air dry. You will be amazed! Nothing short of laser
surgery or microdermabrasion yields better results. PERIOD. No fancy high
priced and high-hyped combination of ingredients will work any better.

stretch marks and scars exist in the lower (dermal ) layer.
The only way to stimulate collagen production from the outside is to slightly
damage the skin, if you do your homework you will note that the skin produce
collagen in response to damage.
Applying oils on damp skin is a temporary fix. the scar still remains in the
matrix of the skin. that is why the skin has to be healed from the inside out,
hence the supplements and collagen.
Green papaya simply digest dead cells, again temporary.
Spirulina does not contain all ingredients in the supplement.

Age is not so much a factor as long as it’s not an infant. Try the salt baths
and then rinse her well afterwards (use a chlorine filter in the shower) and
apply Nutiva or Spectrum organic, virign (unrefined) coconut oil to her whole
body in a thin film. Pat her dry if necessary but don’t rub the oil off. This
will really help. Some people find that Pascalite clay masks really help all
sorts of skin conditions (available at www.herbalremedies.com) so you may want
to try that as well. Most importantly, you must address this condition from the
inside out. This condition is merely a sign that something is not right within
the body. Take this opportunity to find the root of the problem and heal it. I
have a natural skin care program I can email you if you want. Let me know.

Both "injuring" the skin (with microdermabrasion, dry brushing and enzyme or
chemical peels) and certain chemical constituents in avocado oil stimulate the
skin to produce collagen as well as elastin. It is not just the removal of dead
cells from the stratum corneum. I am a licensed esthetician as well as a spa
owner, so I’m well aware of skin structure. Nothing bad against your product in
particular, I just know what works from experience and I know that eating
collagen may or may not do anything for your skin. Actually, spirulina DOES
contain all of the ingredients of this liquid collagen supplement except for the
collagen AND more. Maybe you were refering to the multivitamin product? That one
does seem to have a lot of beneficial ingredients. At any rate, I have seen
spirulina reverse skin conditions that people have completely given up on.
Because it’s so nutritious and rich in specific nutrients that aid the function
of the skin, it is very effective in healing all sorts of skin
problems. It’s certified organic and it is a food, not a synthetic vitamin. I’m
very big on getting nutrients from food sources, not lab created vitamins. Just
one serving of spirulina contains as much GLA as 2 capsules of evening primrose
oil as well as other beneficial fatty acids. It’s good stuff! Anyways, like I
said nothing against your product, I just don’t buy into the hype without
clinical proof.

I can assure you I’ve been at this longer than you Carisa so bear with me. I am
also an esthetician and an ND.
The problem with Spirulina (blue green algae ) alone is that not everyone can
take enough to see the same benefits as Spirulina is stimulating. The naturally
occuring Phenylalanine and Valine increase heart rate and metabolism. So adding
a ‘cool’ (not hot) ginseng, Chlorella as well as the other ingredients increases
the benefits without over dosing.
The Supplement is indeed all food and not synthetic/lab created. It contains

Both "injuring" the skin (with microdermabrasion, dry brushing and enzyme or
chemical peels) and certain chemical constituents in avocado oil stimulate the
skin to produce collagen as well as elastin. It is not just the removal of dead
cells from the stratum corneum. I am a licensed esthetician as well as a spa
owner, so I’m well aware of skin structure. Nothing bad against your product in
particular, I just know what works from experience and I know that eating
collagen may or may not do anything for your skin. Actually, spirulina DOES
contain all of the ingredients of this liquid collagen supplement except for the
collagen AND more. Maybe you were refering to the multivitamin product? That one
does seem to have a lot of beneficial ingredients. At any rate, I have seen
spirulina reverse skin conditions that people have completely given up on.
Because it’s so nutritious and rich in specific nutrients that aid the function
of the skin, it is very effective in healing all sorts of skin

I wouldn’t say these products are a scam, but you can certainly get the same
ingredients and in PERFECT ratio as it occurs in the body with spirulina and
other superfood supplements. As for collagen, the collagen molecule is much too
big to penetrate the skin. It just sits on the very top layer of the stratum
corneum (dead scales of skin) and does nothing but attract water to itself. I
have found that a mixture of Nutiva coconut oil and Rapunzel avocado oil works
best for stretch marks. Avocado has chemicals in it that stimulate the bodies
natural production of collagen from the inside out. The coconut penetrates
deeply and rapidly and also has an exfoliating effect and helps to heal the
skin. I would also suggest using an enzyme peel like powdered green papaya once
a week (www.cleopatrasbeautysecret.com) and dry brushing your entire body with a
stiff brush before each shower. Use the oil mixture while still damp from the
shower and air dry. You will be amazed! Nothing short of

Unfortunately, the fact that it’s a bovine derivative would make it
inappropriate for my practice. Cattle farming is one of the most destructive of
all industires to the environment. My spa is all organic and our practices are
based around environmentally friendly operations. However, it’s good to know
that the other product is all food derived. I referenced the GLA in evening
primrose because it is a commonly used supplement that people are familiar with.
I myself use spirulina, borage oil and hemp oil to get my omegas and GLA. As far
as spirulina is concerned, one would need only 10 grams a day (a heaped
tablespoon) to see results. Hardly an "overdoe". Spirulina, unlike ginseng, is
not classified as a stimulant. I have never seen research that proves that it
increases metabolism or heart rate and I have seen a truckload of clinical data
on the stuff. Phenylalinine, used alone as a sweetner, is a dangerous product.
When you remove a substance from its naturally occuring cofactors
and other nutrients, bad things can sometimes happen. Maybe that’s where they
are getting that these amino acids can raise heart rate and metaolism.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one. I wasn’t saying spirulina
is exactly the same as your supplement. I’m merely saying that many of the
benefits from those ingredients can be found elsewhere at a more reasonable
price. Spirulina has all of the essential and conditionally essential amino
acids in perfect ratio. That is one of the main reasons I use it.

Actually the Phenylalinine used in sweetners is not the same. It is reversed or
chemically altered. If you get Phenylalinine alone you can see how it stimulates
the system. Too much will give you a headache. It is often used as an natural
antidepressant. The Phenylalinine in Spirulina is naturally occuring and cannot
be separted. That’s why you can indeed take too much spirulina. There are
several types of ginseng. The one in our supplement is not stimulating.
Generally Ginseng is classified as an adaptogenic herb, helping the body to
adapt to stress and relaxation.
Unfortunately, the fact that it’s a bovine derivative would make it
inappropriate for my practice. Cattle farming is one of the most destructive of
all industires to the environment. My spa is all organic and our practices are

Again, we will have to agree to disagree. This is like saying fish or bean
sprouts or any other complete protein will overstimulate you or give you a
headache. In clinical trials, there has never been any evidence of
overstimulation or other side effects with up to 100 grams a day of spirulina.
This is far more than anyone would need to eat to see the benefits.
The free form of phenylalanine that has been seperated from its normal structure
indeed has side effects, as I mentioned. It is neurotoxic when seperated from
other proteins that naturally occur with it in food. The slow-absorbing form in
foods that is bound to proteins will not harm you when eaten in normal portions
like with meats, beans and algae. Spirulina has been at the beginning of the
food chain for millenia. It has been eaten by countless species of animals,
including humans, with no ill effects whatsoever. NASA even chose spirulina to
use on space missions after researching and evaluating thousands of superfoods
and algae species. All this research and thousands of years of use do not lie.
Let’s just agree to disagree so we can get back to talking about excema and
psoriasis! We are littering the group with too much argumenative email. Agreed?
Unfortunately, the fact that it’s a bovine derivative would make it
inappropriate for my practice. Cattle farming is one of the most destructive of
all industires to the environment. My spa is all organic and our practices are
based around environmentally friendly operations. However, it’s good to know
