Dry Skin

Check her/his thyroid. Low thyroid can cause dry skin. Make sure and have

his/her FREE T3 and FREE T4 checked.

Yeast could cause this.

Also - parasites (even better chances). Parasites could also cause dry skin,

but that could be caused by so many other things... I don't really know.

I did not read through other posts, so my apology if this is already addressed.

The theroy that i have heard on this is that the dry skin could be caused by a

lack of essential fatty acids in many autistic children. Signs of this include:

Excessive thirst, frequent urination, dry skin, dry hair, soft or brittle nails,

dandruff, rough dry and/or bumpy skin especially on the upper arms or legs.

Popular supplements (since most kids are picky and will not eat seeds, nuts,

grains, legumes, cold water fish, and algae) include: Flax seed oil,

Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA), Vitamin E.

What do essential fatty acids do that is so important? Those that are

particularly relevant to autism are indicated.

Hello,

I want to say that I am thankful for all the wonderful info that I get

from this group. I also want to ask if any of you know what might be

the reason for my baby's very dry skin. It's getting more and more

dry with time. Also, she always had what is similar to goose bumps

on her stomach (I don't know if I spelled goose bumps correctly, I am

fairly new to the English langauge). Does anybody know anything about

this? I would truly appreciate your answer.

Larry,

I use Miracle Foot Repair Cream. It is even safe for Diabetics. There are

several sites that sell it. If you go to drugstore.com you can get free

shipping if you spend a certain amount. This is the best stuff

that I have tried. Hope this helps.

Hope everyone out there is having a good day,

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info. My wife bought me tube last week.

I have used it and it does soften. The pepermint oil seems to make by

soles burn a bit.

Do you have the same issue?

Hi Larry,

I did notice a sensation of tingling when I first started using it. It lasted

for about a week and then went away. I hope the burning feeling gets better.

Best Wishes,

Hi Marjorie,

I posted a little while ago about my dry skin. I was using coconut

oil as an all-over body moisturizer as it's supposed to be very good

for the skin. However, it made my skin even drier, as well as

cracked and itchy. I have since switched to olive oil and it has

improved a lot (although it's still dry).

So, I think you just have to see what works for your skin. Most

people rave about coconut oil...I guess I must have some sort of

skin allergy to it.

idea? Anyone have any other ideas of what I could use?

Hi,

I do not have dry skin, but rather blemished skin all

over. I started using coconut oil all over my body

and the blemishes started disappearing.

I find the straight coconut oil is a bit much on my

face, but I use the rose face cream from Mountain Rose

Herbs and it has coconut oil in it, but mixed with

other stuff that works great for my blemished face.

Luv,

Debby

==>Hi Marjorie. Coconut oil is the very best moisturizer you can use.

I use it on my face before applying makeup, and all over my body,

particularly after a shower or bath. It is an excellent idea and it

is highly recommended. I also use it for my hair.

==>Hi Helena. What is happening with your skin is not an allergy, but

for some reason your skin needs coconut pretty badly because it is

creating healing reactions on your skin. Given enough time it will

clear up and heal nicely. You also need to take enough good fats

internally, per the ratios recommended, along with minerals from ocean

sea salt and this diet, to affect the skin and to increase your all of

your cells' ability to utilize water.

Hi Bee,

Thanks for your reply. I also thought the same thing at first, but

after 3 months, I couldn't stand it - the skin on my entire back and

stomach was flaking off (leaving flakes all over the house!) and it was

so itchy I wanted to rip it off! I was scratching quite a lot and was

worried that I might damage the skin permanently.

Maybe I could try alternating olive oil with coconut oil to lessen the

healing reaction. Do you think that's a good idea?

(I am getting all the recommended fats, sea salt, supplements, etc. and

am on the diet 100%)

Thank you so much for all your help, Bee.

Hi Marjorie,

I also use the coconut oil everywhere; face, arms, legs, hair, etc. I

wouldn't recommend using it before bed though, the caprylic acid in it tends

to cause insomnia in a lot of people.

==>Flaking skin is not a bad thing Helena. It means your body is

making new skin underneath, at maybe a much faster rate. Epsom salt

baths also help.

I would try to stay away from sodium laureth sulfate and parabens,in

products- I am surprized that Dove irritates your skin, have you

tried pure refined emu oil as a moisturizer? are you certain the

water your showering with is not contaminated?

Try an epsom salt bath instead of a shower?

Hello ,

Have you looked at Bee's files on dry skin?

Here's one called: Dry Skin Causes and Treatments

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/skin2.php

If you are showering daily, try to shower less to allow the body's

natural oils to accumulate on the skin; do not use soap, in fact just

water cleans just as well. See about getting a shower filter if you do

not already have one, to cut down on the amount of chlorine, as chlorine

is very hard on the skin and breathing it in the shower is not good for

you either.

If you take baths, putting a try putting a Tablespoon of vitamin C

powder, a teaspoon or so of coconut oil in an Epsom salt bath (using 1

to 2 cups of Epsom salts) and soaking for 20 minutes. This is both

soothing and relaxing!

Once you get onto Bee's program and are doing all she recommends

especially increasing your fat intake little by little and using all the

supplements including cod liver oil, you will begin to see improvement

with your skin. Remember that the body heals from the inside out, so be

patient as you provide the healthy nourishment your body needs to heal

itself.

Hope this helps!

==>Coconut readily soaks right into thirsty pores. Dry skin is

corrected from within.

>

==>It doesn't have to do with water intake; water can only be utilized

within the cells if there are enough good fats (including vitamins A,

D & E, Omega-3) and minerals. In fact the nutrients in this entire

program work together so leaving anything out will affect the outcome.

>

==>Use natural coconut oil soap, or none. You can get clean washing

only with water too. Shower and bathe infrequently which allows

natural oils to build up on the skin as a protective and moisture layer.

, it is not true that I recommend water water water. Too much

water can cause problems. See the " Water " Folder.

Is a soap like Ivory better than a simple glycerine soap?

I know Bee recommended a soap made with coconut oil. I have been using a soap

with coconut oil and it still dries my skin.

I would like to make a soap bar (using either Ivory or a simple glycerine soap)

as the base and then add additional oil or cocoa butter hence the question about

which is better.

Hello ,

I would stick to Bee's advice since you are just starting out on her

program. Give it a chance and let your body begin healing from the

inside out and do what you can in the most natural way while you are

going through the healing process.

If you want to use soap, there are a lot of decent ones out there, you

just have to ask around or search them out on the internet.

A couple of good ones are made by Tom's of Maine. One is called

Calendula Moist Soap and the other comes in Lemongrass or Plain, called

Natural Deodorant Body Bar. My son uses the Body bar and really likes

it. We haven't used the Calendula just yet, but Calendula is great for

the skin, very healing so it should be a good one to try. Desert Essence

also make a Tea Tree Therapy bar that is good.

Hope this helps. :-)

Thanks for the link but I am skeptical about using lye that' s why I prefer to

use a ready made base.
