i finally got the results of that RAST test back.. I am not allergic to corn,,
although i would like an explanation of why it makes my hands and feet break
out.

It did reveal that i am allergic to shrimp… hmm, never noticed a problem
there, but i probably eat shrimp once or maybe twice a year.. makes me want to
go out tonite and have a shrimp dinner just to see what happens.

I am continuing to read a massive amount of natural healing books and books on
healing pustular psoriasis the natural way. I find what they say interesting
and they do make alot of common sense.. I am going to continue my colon cleanse
and go on after that and do a liver, gallbladder, blood cleanse… I am not
hoping for a miracle.. Just maybe some way to control the flares.. I do pretty
well keeping corn and corn products out.. However I haven’t totally eliminated
them.. that will come in time. corn by-products are in everything. As i make my

Hello everyone. My 22 month old has been fighting a severe looking
skin problem for almost a year now. We have been to the dermatologist
several times and his regular peditrician. They don’t know exactly
what it is. It might be eczema or some othe rkind of allergic reaction
to milk. He was on formula and whole milk together with no problems.
He has very large red circular patches on each cheek and a little on
his chin. It looks red and flaky at times. The doctor said it actually
is like little blisters when seen under a microscope. It responded at
first to Dermatop steriod cream but only for 2 weeks, then it was just
as bad as it had been. I read somewhere that skin issues in kids can
come from a digestive enzyme deficiency. So what is eaten isn’t
digested right and it shows up on the skin. Can anyone give me any
advice or guidance? We have tried everything over the counter we can
think of but I would love to have your advice. Thanks so much and
Happy New Year.

Hi everyone,

I’m a new member and have drank heavily for about 35 years.

I have developed psoriasis / eczema on my hands in the last few years.

My research suggests that excessive alcohol consumption is associated
with psoriasis.

Has anyone experienced remission of psoriasis or eczema by quitting
drinking?

Has anyone quite drinking and not expereinced remission?

Hi group.. glad to have found you all… I have had pustular
psoriasis (palms/feet) for over a year now.. most of my info on it
comes from the internet and trial and error.. I have been to two drs,
have been referred to a dermatologist who did a biopsy and of course
prescribed drugs that didn’t work, and I’ve been to two naturopaths..
trying to change my eating habits.. easier to talk about but slowly
getting there.

I have discovered through trial and error that popcorn, cornflakes,
any kind of snack chips with corn make it flare up.. I am not a rocket
scientist (although I do believe everyone has the ability to be one
about something:) but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the
correlation. I firmly believe that I must be allergic to corn ..or
perhaps something in the corn products…but there is still the home
cooked popcorn that makes it worse… so that blows the something in

I have a son with Cerebral Palsy and he has been on a product called
Mona Vie. It seems to be helping him with pain and eczema it is even
helping him process information.
He is asking more intelligent questions.

Prior to Mona Vie My son was not able to sustain his own body weight
with out pain because the advanced scoliosis was causing him so much
pain. I thought I was going to have to start changing diapers again
and my son is 15 years old.

My question is:

If medication tends to stop working after a while because your Body
has gotten use to it are these fruits going to do the same or will
they continue to work for the duration of his life?

He practices Applied Kinesiology.

I found stuff on the Web; there are mixed articles about it. I don’t
think I can buy it.

I found this article too:

It may indeed work, but since I can’t logically understand it, I don’t
think it will work for me.

I am the mother to a three year old boy who has had eczema since he first turned
1. It goes
away in the summer. In the winter it has gotten so bad the he looked excoriated
(or burned)
on his entire torso. He also had round patches on his extremites.

This winter it has not returned. As it gets colder and dryer he has been
getting softer and
even the bumps are going away. We live in Alaska. Long, cold, dry winters

I am so relieved. It is horrible when your baby has eczema. I am afraid it will
come back.
Can it come and go?

Many of you on the list have helped me in the past and I am so grateful.

I had a good feeling about going to the naturopath yesterday; however,
today I feel a little unsure.

At the visit, he told me that my eczema was caused by a rampant yeast
population living in my body since brth (as I’ve had eczema since
birth). He said I have to be very dedicated to get rid of the yeast,
changing my diet. I will also have to spend about 400 dollars in
supplements (he sells supplements).

Before I saw him yesterday, I had bought a bunch of vitamins. Today I
called him, thinking I would read the labels and he would tell me if I
should return them. He told me to hold them to my belly and then told
me if they were good or not over the phone (note: this is how he
determined if the meds and vitamins I already take were good/bad for
me IN THE OFFICE. I could see that working in the office e(maybe he
