Eczema

[Guest guest]

Darla Personally having a very bad bout of rash, eczema, dermatitis, etc. look for bowel and liver toxicity as the first cause. How many bowel movements a day, size and volume? Sould be daily, if not imploy enemas or colonics and a good colon cleanse. History of antibiotcs? If so, priobiotics to restore bowel flora and if doing a colonic then a a good Colon Hydrotherapist would do a flora implant following the colonic. Also taking supplental Colostrum, Guna, has a good product. I just so happen to be a rep for them, they are in the test matrix. Use remedies such as Dr. Reccomends available through White Dove Healing to restore the small and large intestine and Derma 1 to drain the liver and lymph. Pyers patches are lymphoid tissue in the small intestine and absorb undigested food/toxins as well as the liver. Supplement with digestive

enzymes. Apex Energetics offers Clear Vite, a powder mixed in water which includes rice bran protein, vitamins, minerals and herbs to clear the liver. I now drink it on a daily basis and great for weight loss/cellulite because toxicity is always an issue. Steam therapy and Infared Suana also good for detox as well as avoidance of all sugar, alcohol and food additives. 50% raw foods, water should be purified, consumption is half the body weight in ounces. Check for reactivity to lemon for warm water with lemon in the morning, empty stomach is good to alkalize the body as well as alkalizing foods. Affirmation for the orgone generator or the turquise box of the Homotoxiology panel, credit goes to Gage Tarrant, "I release an let go of excess anger now, my liver and intestines work perfectly now and all detoxification takes place with comfort, ease and grace in ways that only bring me

immediate benefits and improve my health and wellbeing." Remember to go to short sarcodes first to open all the eliminative organs including sinus and lung. I'll bet there is a history of upper resiratory illness. The skin is also an eliminative organ and is used by the body when overloaded.

Exactly; I checked this thread to see if anyone would mention

bowel health's link to eczema.

Many people in the candidaisis group have cured their bowel

issues and eczema, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, arthritis, and

a bunch of other inflammatory disorders that flare in response to

toxin load and maldigestion. Chief among their approaches are low-

carbing, more veggies, more inulin or inulin foods, undenatured

whey and selenium for glutahtione precursors (and undenatured

whey also controls bowel ecology a bit too

Typical comments run to " I'm sooo much better in just two

months! "

Vitamin B-15 (Pangamic Acid) helps clear the liver as well as a good

liver flush such as Hulda 's famous recipe (Its potent!). Also

Milk Thistle is real healthy for the liver as well. Kombucha tea

contains a group of acids that are highly effective in knocking down

fungi such as Candida albicans. Once the liver is running optimally

and the digestive tract is kept moving, the toxins that were

surfacing in the outer dermal layers will be excreted through the

elimination channels of the digestive tract as they were intended to

do.

There is also a connection for many between eczema issues and

Sulphur/Proline levels in the body. Check these for deficiencies and

you might want to supplement with MSM for Sulphur. It's worked

wonders for me. MSM also very good for chronic acne. ALso check bowel

flora.

Look up this website www.naet.com it is about a therapy that eliminates

allergies, it sounds like your son was allergic to the chlorine or something in

the pool. It is an amazing therapy that eliminates all sorts of food allergies

and chemical allergies. The woman who discovered it also believes that autism is

caused by severe allergies. Read her book " Say good-bye to Illness " by Dr Devi

Nambudripad.

Re: Re: eczema

If it doesn't go away, consider that he may not be

tolerating the enzymes-my son has a TERRIBLE time with

them, unfortunately.

Hello

My son has a severe case of eczema (driving him crazy) on the back of his knees

any suggestion on what to put on it?

thank you

[ ] Scared to start chelation, what are the risks from one

round?

My ds was just five and is about 40 lbs. I want to start chelation

according to Andy's protcol, DAN wants IV which I am strongly opposed

to. I want to start slow, but my DAN says DMSA is a sulfur drug with

more risk than the TD-EDTA he gave me. Anyway, just need some

reassurance here to do this on my own.

What is the risk from trying one round?

Thanks,

Epsom salt baths helped control my daughter's eczema as well as giving her

yeast killer like GSE.

I don't recommend aquafor as this clogs the pores, not letting the body get

rid of toxins.

[Guest guest]

Generally, eczema is caused by food allergies. Far and away the most common

culprits are wheat, dairy and eggs. Corn and citrus fruits/juices are also

frequently involved. People typically crave the foods they're allergic to,

so if your child craves and can eat any amount of any of the above (or any

other food, for that matter), try eliminating it from his diet.

My sister always used Bag Balm - the ointment used on cows udders. I don't

know what's in it, but, she always preferred healthy options. Believe it or

not, I think you can get it in the drug store. It's in a green, square tin.

Hi, try using (BOUDREAUX;S BUTTE PASTE) IT CAN be found in the diaper rash

isle.. it will work immediately. Are you on the gluten free diet or the

specific carbohydrate diet??? You might want to look into it , if you are

Many cases of eczema are caused by food intolerance. Try using

digestive enzymes, or remove common food offenders like milk, wheat,

soy, and/or corn.

Hi ,

I developed scaling, itching and cracking on the palms of my hands and on a

scar on the sole of one foot last May. The dermatologist diagnosed it as

eczema, although I also have Graves' disease, which can cause a similar skin

problem. (I didn't notice the blisters that are often mentioned in

discussions of eczema.)

I tried steroid cream only once, and it burned so I didn't use it. I also

was concerned about a rebound. I've tried all types of salves, from

antibiotic ointment to tea tree oil and cocoa butter. One hand improved

slightly and the other got worse. I've been wearing band aids and gloves

since May and been in a lot of pain from the cracking, and occasional

intense itching.

Since starting a low dose of LDN at the end of December this condition is

finally improving, which I'm extremely happy about as it's painful and

unsightly. I stopped the LDN for a week when my thyroid bounced back to

normal and had no rebound of skin symptoms. I've since gone back on the LDN.

I can't comment on side effects except to say my understanding is that LDN

promotes improved function of a normal body process; the only warning I've

heard is that those who can (those without, say, something like ms), tend to

take a few days off every week or every month to make sure the body doesn't

" forget " how to make the endorphins without stimulation.

You will doubtless also be referred to the list of side effects, which

include initial sleep disturbances, intense dreams, constipation, and in

high doses, stress on the liver.

Best wishes,

B., who spent some great years in Ann Arbor

Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Eczema

Hi all!

I've had eczema since I was a baby, but unfortunately, at 22, I have

never grown out of it. I've seen allergists and dermatologists, and

have antihistamines and steroid creams and have had cortisone shots

and corticosteroid pills and run the gamut. Nothing takes care of it

but for a little while, and the intense itching and spreading of the

rash all over my body is beginning to drive me crazy.

I've been researching alternative ways of dealing with this problem,

and saw eczema mentioned several times (being an autoimmune disease)

as a possible disorder that could be treated by LDN. I was just

wondering if anyone here has experience with treating eczema with LDN?

Does it just stop the itch, or does it treat the flare ups, or...?

Do you experience the rebound effect that steroids give if you stop

taking it?

One of the deterrents for me is that all of the steroids and

corticosteroids have cancer as a potential side effect. I keep

reading " virtually no side effects! " for LDN, but come on, what's the

real dirt? I have a mal-absorptive disorder of the small intestines

so it's very important that nothing hinder vitamin levels or

absorption, etc. I really need to consider every little thing here.

Any feedback would be appreciated. I've been getting more and more

desperate to find a way to go forward with this thing.

Thank you,

~ from Michigan~

[Guest guest]

Please provide the reference that low dose Naltrexone, 4.5 mg or less nightly, reduces the capacity of the body to produce endorphins. This would be really interesting reading.

My understanding is that with the timing of LDN, the body produces more endorphins. LDN does not directly supply the endorphins. The body does not become dependant on LDN either.

BUT, for many auto immune issues, LDN is a lifetime commitment to stop progression of disease. It is not a casual use protocol like taking an aspirin or an allergy pill.

Thanks for the update Art. I assume that applies to those of using it forissues less life-threatening than ms as well.I had heard the recommendation to take a few days off from someone whostarted using LDN around 2003 and knows others (in the San Francisco area)who are using it for anti-aging and general benefits. Is it yourunderstanding that the body can resume regular endorphin production easilyafter LDN is stopped altogether, as when someone with Graves' disease entersremission and no longer needs it?Thanks for your help! B.Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

[Guest guest]

Taking a day off from using LDN is NOT recommended. It was at one

time quite awhile ago, but NOT anymore.

At one time Dr. Lawrence thought that 2 days off once in a while was a good idea, but he determined later that it was not needed and that staying on LDN continuously was the better way to go.

I also am interested in the idea of taking time-off from LDN -- also

about different dosing amounts based on disease symptoms.

It's as though LDN is thought to be a " one-size-fits-all " therapy and

I'm wondering if that approach is really necessary or wise ??? I

would think that someone who has MS has a more serious immune response

going on than someone who has eczema....???...and therefore wouldn't

need the same amount of drug...????

Do we know what was Dr Lawrence's conclusion was based on ??

Jann

[Guest guest]

There's no need to taper/wean off LDN. My experience with other LDN

users has been many start and stop taking it all the time without

problems.

My girlfriend has Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and due to things out of my

control she's unable to take her LDN every single night and she's

doing quite well. I would like for her to use it every night, but...

I hope to keep her on LDN for the rest of her life to regulate

the autoimmune disease she has and as a cancer preventive. She had

nodules on her thyroid gland and lumps in her breast that were all

benign and I plan on keeping them that way. As for me, unless

something better comes along for MS (which I doubt) I plan on taking

LDN for the rest of my life.

I would hope the newbies/lurkers here who are 'on the fence' deciding

whether or not they should try LDN are not discouraged by talk of

minor side-effects such as sleep disturbance. I used most of the

dangerous, expensive, ineffective CRAB/Novantrone meds and that's

when you get into really bad side-effects - chills, fever, muscle-

ache, head-ache, injection site reactions, depression, suicial

thoughts, congestive heart failure, leukemia. Quite a menu, eh?

A few restless nights is a small price to pay compared to that.

Hello Eczema Sufferers...

My daughter previously had " leaky gut " (due to food allergies)

which resulted in terrible eczema. The eczema was made much worse

about 2 1/2 years ago when she went on 3 separate courses of

antibiotics (which totally destroyed her good gut flora/bacteria).

So we started exploring alternatives treatments to heal her leaky gut

(including probiotics, Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3, 6, 9),

antioxidants, liquid vitamins/minerals, etc). This really started to

help her eczema (and she stopped developing additional food

allergies).

Last summer, we started LDN to help with her liver (she has

Hepatitis B, which we discussed in Message Number 56843). Once she

started on LDN, it seemed like icing on the cake to heal the leaky

gut and eczema. You can no longer tell that she ever had eczema.

People who haven't seen in her in a few months come up and comment

how great she looks and her skin is now beautiful. Also, we have

seen a dramatic improvement in her food allergies. She is able to

now eat foods (in small amounts) that she was previously allergic

to. So, if your eczema is due to intestinal permeability (leaky

gut), I would suggest LDN (as well as probiotics, EFA, and

antioxidants), should really improve your condition.

Peace to you on your healing journey! Joyce
