Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 If it only itched really bad one day, you don't have eczema, otherwise known as atopic dermatitis. It was probably just an allergic reaction or irritation. If you can find out what you're allergic to and avoid it, that's certainly better than cream. Alternative medicine cures are great, but you have to be just as careful with them as with traditional medicine. Nothing is all bad or all good. Remember the story about the person who died of appendicitis. I just didn't want you to suffer needlessly. Robin From: ChrisMasterjohn@...

It's constantly inflamed, and itches quite often-- just only once bad enough to use hydrocortisone cream. I constantly apply something to it, and most of the things I use stop itching. I woke up at 2:30 in the morning last night and woke up scratching it, and it itched a lot. I went to the kitchen and took out the concoction I made of coconut oil, olive oil, cod liver oil, raw honey, evening primrose oil, and vitamin E, and applied some and the itching went away right away. Thank you very much for your concern, but I don't think eczema is fatal <g>. If everything I try to get to the root doesn't work I'll probably end up with hydrocortisone, but I'm pretty confident that all it will take is figuring out just what *is* causing it, and then fixing it.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Do what you want, of course, but hydrocortisone cream is hardly comparable to heroin. It's really not some kind of poison. The over the counter stuff is only a 1% solution, and you don't put it over your entire body. You just use a little bit. (Cortisone in shots or by mouth is a much larger dose, and a very different case, but is not meant to be taken indefinitely, either.) The container I have even says not to take it more than seven days in a row. It's only meant for flareups. I never said it was a cure. (Moisturizer/oils help to prevent rashes by keeping your skin from getting dry. Getting your skin wet all the time also makes it worse, so try not to soak too long.) If you're that scared of the cream, of course, I suppose the stress itself could make it worse. Fortunately, eczema won't kill you, but it sure will make you miserable. Who wouldn't want to make it go away? It's not like I enjoy suffering myself. Robin From: ChrisMasterjohn@...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Robin, Thanks for your advice. I have some hydrocortisone 1% solution at my house, and, like I said, did use it once. I'm a bit hypoadrenal and am slowly trying to fix that, and don't want to undermine my efforts. You know, I just realized my eczema started I think right after my root canal in the summer. Price did massive research indicating root canals cannot penetrate the bacteria in the dentin and tend to cause the bacteria to mutate and move to other points of infection in the body and cause other diseases. Considering that some eczema has microbial causes, I wonder if this is related. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been trying to figure out a way to stop, but B & C does not carry sprouted bread that doesn't have wheat. I eat Shiloh Farms sprouted 7 Grain bread which is primarily wheat I think. I feel best if I eat a half a piece or no bread with a meal, but for economic and convenience reasons inevitably eat 1-2 pieces a day. Never more than one at once. I was thinking of buying Manna rye sprouted bread or something from a different store I am near once a week, but it seems expensive since it is unleavened. I suppose the smaller volume of food might be just as filling. Maybe I should just get off grains. That seems really expensive though, but I'll check it out. I already spend tons of $$ on food anyway ;-) Just realized this morning I had my root canal, if I remember correctly, right before my eczema last summer. Price did research showing root canals do not penetrate buggies in the dentin and often causes them to mutate, giving them a breeding ground to spread throughout the body and cause other infections. Newer research is confirming this. Wonder if that is also related. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consume a gram each of EPA and DHA a day from cod liver oil, and recently added GLA-rich evening primrose oil, I think a gram of the oil a day, two capsules anyway, not sure how much GLA. Don't know about n-6s. I eat a pound of grain-finished hamburger a week, lots of eggs probably fed lots of corn, etc. Don't use any n-6 oils. Use butter and olive oil mostly for fat.

I already spend tons of $$ on food anyway ;-) It really does NOT have to be expensive. At our house we eat lots of potatoes -- potatoes and sweet potatoes are eaten worldwide, and until recently were a lot more popular than grains. They are also easier than sprouting, soaking, etc, and are full of good vitamins. My favorite is hash browns in the morning -- grate half a potato and fry it slowly in some fat (bacon fat works best, or coconut oil, or whatever). Let it get nice and brown before flipping. Baked potatoes with meat topping is easy too, maybe a little melted cheese. Corn tortillas are easy too (the Mexican version of bread!). If you put a drop of oil on a plate, and move the tortilla around so it is oiled on both sides, then toast it in the toaster oven, you get a nice crispy tostada. Or cook it briefly on the burner (just stick it on the burner, and turn it with tongs, or use a dry pan) to soften it, then put butter in the middle and roll it up. Corn tortillas are made with masa, which is soaked in lime and thus better for you (albeit not sprouted). Toast and waffles are darn convenient, and I get some for my family that are non-wheat. The " almond " bread is pretty good, nutrition wise, and Amy's waffles. They aren't terribly NT. BTW, a friend of mine tried putting borage oil on her eczema (inspired by the primrose idea) and for 2 days it is working amazingly well -- no eczema left. She does not eat wheat, but might be allergic to something else, I don't know, but the oil is working. Heidi Schuppenhauer Cabrita Software heidis@...

But... wouldn't corn tortillas be " grains " ? > >Chris They are grains, but not gliaden-gluten grains. After the treatment with lime, they seem pretty benign. I don't eat huge amounts of them though. It is confusing verbally because " gluten " means " protein found in grains " , but it is mostly the gluten in wheat that is problematic -- rye and barley less so. Oats are ok, but may be contaminated with wheat, which is a problem for some. Irish oats are likely ok, and I think oats have good stuff in them like beta glucan. I just can't stand them for some reason, so I don't eat them. They are also low in grain proteins, which is good. Corn is usually ok unless you are allergic to it, but THAT is a separate problem. But corn (and all grains) need to be processed to be edible to people (as pointed out so wonderfully by Sally Fallon). For corn, that means a lime soak, which fortunately is the process for making tortillas. Tortilla-making is still done the traditional way, at least in a lot of the places that make them. I suspect (and so does Dogtor) that ALL grain protein is less than ideal, but gliadin, the protein in wheat, is downright *nasty*. This is thought to be because it " looks " too much like body tissue and confuses the immune system, at least the immune system of people who have certain genes. Those genes are very rare in countries that have been eating wheat for thousands of years, which would seem to suggest that wheat+certain genes is a not good combination.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 Thanks Heidi. I've never noticed wheat affecting me adversely, but then again, I've never really been off wheat, in some form or another. If my eczema is related to candida or some fungal infection or something, I might do well to do no-grain for a while. But I should try no-wheat while eating other starches some time to see how it goes.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 His son was just started on sporonax and I wonder if it is 'die-off' poisons causing the eczema. He's only six years old so I wonder if this is sign, die off is too strong. Gradual killing of fungal infections allows the body to get rid of the toxins. I don't buy the 'I'm feeling awful, isn't that good theory of die-off'. I think if you feel sick, you need to change something. > > As someone earlier this week was asking about Eczema, > and someone's else referred Dr. Pagoda's books, I did > a search and found one of his links here: This site > is enourmously good too!

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 , Be sure to read Marie's post earlier this month in response to my problems with reauthorization from Blue Cros spost. Marie takes Xolair for asthma and eczema. I know we have several members who have been taking Xolair for eczema, and a few others who have started it recently (also for eczema). My pulmonologist/allergist is across the hall from my GP, so they have some patients in common. They have both mentioned that they have been successful in getting patients with severe eczema approved for Xolair, and that they have had great success. My GP said that she has patients who are now able to wear short sleeve shirts and shorts for the first time in their lives. Good luck. Let us know how you do with Xolair!!!
