My husband gets extreme redness under his eyes, doctor thinks maybe
allergy but whatever they give him doesn’t work any suggestions?

Hi, All:

Has anyone tried this product to help combat the drying out of our skin
where psoriasis is rearing its ugly head? I mostly have it on my hands and
feet. I got a bottle because I work with textiles. Regular hand creams are
a no-no because they can leave greasy stains and rubber gloves make my
hands sweat and I end up taking them off after several minutes. I checked
out their website and it has glowing testimonials. If you want to check the
website it is: www.glovesinabottle.com I am not affiliated with the
company, just thought I’d ask here what you all thought or get feedback
from anyone who might have tried.

Hi Joel,

I am also from the Philippines. Are you in Manila? Perhaps we can
organize something for people with psoriasis so that we can help each
other out. I myself am using coconut oil to soothe the scaling.

Thanks,
Oliver

Guys,
I am from the philippines and we have a lot of virgin
coconut oil here for only $4.00 per 250 ml bottle.
I do also have psoriasis and it soothes the scaling

I would suggest you read some of the posts we have in the archives about coconut
oil. It is a wonderful healer for the skin and allows the skin to breathe and
function as an organ. You can save yourself a lot of money buying Aveeno and
just use oat flour in the bath. You can grind it yourself from oatmeal or buy it
by the bag. This is a true oatmeal bath without all the harmful added
ingredients. It won’t clog your drains as long as you use the flour and not
oatmeal and rinse the tub with plenty of water afterwards. Whenever I take a
bath with some added botanicals or clay, I always rinse hot water down the drain
for 5 or 10 minutes and then use an enzymatic drain opener (environmentally
friendly and effective) to make sure there is no residue in the drain. I have
old pipes prone to running slow and clogging with hair and have never had a
problem with these baths.
Both eczema and psoriasis need to be addressed from the inside out. Group, you
will be happy to know I have finished the long awaited wellness protocol, and
the natural skin care program is already available. I will post it in a little

HAS ANYONE READ Any Psoriasis Books ? Maybe we send things that work for me ?
that might help others ? Steve

Hi everyone,
Just found this group. I have psoriasis and sometimes it drives me
crazy. It crops up in my scalp nad around my eyes and nose. There is
so little I can put around my eyes. What I have been doing lately is
using vaseline. This seems to be working very well right now. I have
been to a dermatologist, but even she has no meds that can be put
near the eyes.
So, for now, I’ll just keep using the vaseline. I am so grateful to
be living in Florida. I can’t imagine how bad it could get if I lived
in a cold climate.
It is so good to be among people who will understand what I’m talking
about when it comes to psoriasis.
Y’all have a wonderful day.
Amy

Hi,
I was very skeptic to even try this medication, but after a few weeks
I sow the positive impact in patients with psoriasis, and eczema, I
can testify that the product is effective, and leaves your skin
clean, clear and smoot, soft and healthy, you can see with your own
eyes, you can touch it you can kiss it, but the best is how you feel.

Not only improves the skin, but many consumers report the following:
Prevents heart attacks, stabilizes blood pressure, unclog arteries,
imroves circulation, stops angina pain, eliminate insomnia, canes are
retired, lower cholesterol, improves circulation for diabetics, more
energy, and stamina, reduced swelling, erectile dysfuction reversed,
nitro no longer needed, improved hearing and vision, aneurisms healed
back to normal, heart medication eliminated, varicose veins diminish
in size.

My 8-year old has just developed eczema. He has not been to a
dermatologist but diagnosed by his pediatrician. He was born with
and always had little bumps covering his skin. In September, he
entered the hospital for tubes to be put into his eyes. During that
time, we did some allergy testing as he was sniffling, snorting, etc
which was getting out of control during ragweed season. He has
severe allergies to ragweed, grass, mold, chocolate and peanut
butter. We started allergy shots in September and the his first
outbreak of eczema was in December. We have eliminated peanut butter
all together and he usually has a chocolate sundae once a week.

I am wondering if the allergy shots have some way triggered the
eczema.

I have only been using Aveeno lotion on bath nights and he has soaked

Thanks for the book references. I haven’t read Healing Psoriasis, the
Natural Alternative, so I will look for that one. Thanks. I have read
Russell Blaylock’s book Excitotoxins, The Taste That Kills and found it very
interesting and informative. I’ve been very careful for the past 5 years or
so to avoid excitotoxins in the many forms they are hidden in our foods. I
generally don’t buy prepacked prepared stuffs, but every so often I have
found that it "slips" into my diet anyway! Not often, but one example is I
was occasionally eating proscuito from Whole Foods Market’s specialty
section where they slice the meat for you. I inadvertently found out that
in the processing of it, they added "natural flavoring." Ack! That really
disappointed me! That was about a year ago now. Aside from that product, I
