Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi G. I was hoping someone smarter than me would answer this. Until they do I will throw in my two cents. I think that the essential fatty acid angle is a logical one to consider. Are you going to try her on some fish oils and perhaps olive and evening primrose oils? Also I wonder about her enviroment, or her shampoo. Sometimes the area behind the ear doesn't get rinsed well or dryed well. So it might be an allergic reaction to shampoo staying on the skin.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hi there It sounds like you are suffering from a condition called Vitiligo, if you go to www.candida.org.uk and click on information on cmc, at the bottom of the page, you will find that this skin condition is related to Candida.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Actually I was going to ask about this. I used to get these brown spots which the ND student thought was part of the Candida, but was never sure. I think they went away & now I found one on my chest. Is that what yours look like?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I have a couple of these that look like moles that are not raised.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 I have liver spots, and I'm only 32. I used to think they were UV damage, but since reading s, I know better.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 No one, but it looks like one. it is darker than my normal skin colour (not as dark as a mole or a freckle but tan) it looks like a skin discolouration about .5cm in diameter on my forhead near my hairline... I didn't know anyone had to classify it as one, but I have seen them on people before... this is the definition. A benign, localized brownish patch on the skin, often occurring in old age and usually in fair-skinned people with sun-damaged skin. Also called age spot. Since moles are also caused my sun, I figured it is normal to get liver spots too. *8-) > Hi , > Who classified it as a liver spot? > Thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Oh? It isn't caused by the sun? I honestly haven't read about it yet. *8-) --- Abbadi <kmabbadi@...> wrote: > I have liver spots, and I'm only 32. I used to > think they were UV damage, but since reading > s, I know better.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Hi , I had something that sounds similar on my chest. I'm 30 and it looked like an age spot (darker pigment and not raised). We have a history of skin cancer in my family so I checked it out with the dermatologist. Guess what it turned out to be? A skin fungus. She gave me a topical ointment and it cleared right up. Might be worth investigating.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 > I have a liver spot on my forhead... it has been there > for a few years already and I am 25 years old. > > *8-) , if you do a little reseach on liver spots you'll see they are made of lipofuscin, literally translated as " fatty brown stuff " -- rancidified (mainly polyunsaturated) oils. This promotes further oxidation in a chain reaction, so a little warning on how potentially serious the matter can be might be in order. Besides an obvious link to dietary polyunsaturated and unsaturated food oils that should be avoided, mainly corn, canola, and soy, but possibly others like cottonseed etc., there is a link also to chronically low antioxidant levels. Antioxidants help prevent the oxidation of oils; conversely chronic oxidative stress and especially lipid peroxidation is implicated in many diseases including the neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease. The significance is that one of the early Alzheimer's markers is lipofuscin deposits on the nerve endings. And in a body that has an indicator of lipofusin in the skin, there are indicators elsewhere because its a systemic problem. So.... if I were you I'd practice a bit more self-preservation -- literally -- by preserving your body from oxidation with more antioxidants. The scientific material on glutathione's role in preserving mental function through its role as an antioxidant is on my website, locatable through my profile. Vitamin E is also mentioned. regards, Duncan Crow duncancrow/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 No, it is caused by toxic crap being stored in your body, because your liver is not able to filter it out.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 You can get liver spots at any age. It is a hormone thing, most common with age but even pregnant women can get them. I think they are progesterone related in women or just hormone imbalance. In men probably hormonal too but don't know which hormone. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 > You can get liver spots at any age. Yeah, you don't have to be old to get liver spots - I got my first liver spot years ago! But what about the tiny red, blisterlike spots that appear on the torso? I think I read somewhere that they are a sign of a congested liver.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hmmm, well mine disappeared on my back after being on the Candida diet & the one I have now is below my breats & I don't wear bikinis, plus I'm not fair skinned, so I don't think mine is a liver spot. Thanks for the info though.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 See, that's what I thought too as the student ND thought maybe that was it. Any topical anti fungal that is all natural?

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I've been getting a lot of those little red dots in the past several years that are blood vessels bursting, I think. Everyone makes it seem like it's normal & I disagree. No one has told me WHY they are happening. : ( Re: Re: skin rashes > You can get liver spots at any age.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 My son had a photoallergic reaction to Celexa. He started taking it in the summer and when he was exposed to the sun, every part of his body not covered up would break out in big bumps (no blisters) that were super itchy and would not go away. The poor thing scratched all day and all night. Our doctor told us it was scabies, but to me it didn't fit. I took him to a dermatologist and she confirmed that it was a photoallergic reaction to the Celexa. While this is supposed to be a very rare reaction to the drug, it is listed as a possible side effect. We took him off Celexa and the rash went away. The good news is that when he came down with Chicken Pox this spring, he hardly scratched at all since it probably felt like nothing compared to what he had been through the summer before. When they don't scratch, it's pretty smooth sailing! Rhoda Skin rashes > My daughter had an alergic reaction to Depakote and Celexa.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Try this for you and your pet. Cod liver oil. It worked for my dog, after paying the vet hundreds with no results. Harry is a hundred pound plus German shepherd and I give him two cod liver oil capsules a day with his meal. I use the Wal-Mart brand at a cost of $1.89 for 90 capsules.

Anything more than an occasional tiny bit of cod liver oil can easily lead to a toxic level of vitamins A and D in a cat (fat soluable vitamins). Their systems are different.
