Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 LDN does not work like that. It has been pretty well documented that the goal is to take between 3 to 4.5mg which inadvertently gets your immune system back up and going so it can fight these diseases off. You don't alter the amount of drug as to which auto-immune disease you have or how serious you may call that particular disease because it will not work correctly below 3mg. The idea is to have enough to block your endorphins (inadvertently) and then when your body sees that you have no endorphins then it will produce more. But it is true that different people do better on different dosages between 3 to 4.5mg and we don't know why. SammieJo took a poll about 1.5 years ago for dosages and it turned out that weight and sex did not matter as to which dose worked best for each individual. Although MS seems to have far more difficult symptoms to live with than eczema, I would still say that they are both auto-immune related and in order to get the best benefit and to attack the main problem (the immune system is not working) you need to take between 3 to 4.5mg. Try and think of any auto-immune disease as just that. All the different types are just different ways that an auto-immune problem manifest themselves. Many people even take LDN just as a preventative. It does not seem to hurt to take it even if you don't need it. I am going to get a lot of flack for saying this, but there you are. Every doctor I have gotten to know that is very familiar with LDN and knows its benefits and has researched it well tries to get all of their family members and friends to get on it as a preventative. I am not saying that is what everyone should do, but I am saying they seem to feel it is that safe. I have something similar to eczema and although it is not as serious as MS, it certainly has made my life miserable in many aspects. I will be trying LDN myself soon to see if it will help. I will be trying to work my way up to between 3 to 4.5mg. All my best Aletha [low dose naltrexone] Re: Eczema I also am interested in the idea of taking time-off from LDN -- alsoabout different dosing amounts based on disease symptoms. It's as though LDN is thought to be a "one-size-fits-all" therapy andI'm wondering if that approach is really necessary or wise ??? Iwould think that someone who has MS has a more serious immune responsegoing on than someone who has eczema....???...and therefore wouldn'tneed the same amount of drug...????Do we know what was Dr Lawrence's conclusion was based on ??Jann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to suggest: if your eczema is due to intestinal problems like leaky gut, diarrhea, pain, bloating, cramps, symptoms which are the same as in IBD's (inflammatory bowel diseases). then use the suggested remedies. Ingrid [low dose naltrexone] Re: EczemaHello 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hi Michele: When my son was a baby around 6mos, he had eczema really bad. I took him to a dermatoligist to make sure it was eczema. She confirmed it for me prescribed some ointments for the patches. When he was around 1 years old I took him to a pediatric allergist for suspected peanut butter allergy. When I gave him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, he broke out in hives all over his chest and around his mouth. The allergist confirmed peanut allergy and also prescribed Zyrtec. The allergist was shocked that no one was treating the awful itch that comes with eczema, and the zyrtec was to help that. Benedryl would also help with the itch. You might want to take him to a dermatalogist to confirm eczema though.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Eczema is an inflammatory immune system response. The only time in my life I ever had a case of eczema was when I got stung by a bee on my foot. I have never had it since then. Diet plays a big role in eczema too, and it is important to get the right fats! Saturated fats are not good...you want healthy fats, like fish oil. Look up info on fats, Sandy...here is some to help. " Without the proper amounts of essential fats, detrimental health disorders arise leading to autoimmune, inflammatory, and cardiovascular diseases. Those suffering from degenerative diseases such as obesity, cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver disorders usually have low levels of EFA in their tissues. These essential fats bring oxygen into the body and the lack of oxygen in the tissues is a key factor in degenerative disease. This type of oxygen is not the same as the destructive form caused by free radicals. EFA carry a slightly negative charge causing them to repel one another. This means they cannot aggregate (clump together) thereby keeping membranes fluid enabling them to carry toxins to the surface of the skin, intestinal tract, kidneys, or lungs where they can be discarded. EFA are easily destroyed through cooking and processing, therefore, trying to obtain them solely from fish, for example, is not a reliable source. Most fish on the market today comes from " farms " which have much lower levels of EFA than those caught in the " wild " . A more reliable source is cold-pressed 'Omega'oils. Functions of Essential Fatty Acids: 1) EFA are the precursors for the production of prostaglandins which govern vitality, growth, mental state, and energy production. 2) EFA are necessary for oxygen transfer and have the ability to hold that oxygen in cell membranes acting as a barrier to viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other foreign invaders. 3) EFA speed healing by reducing inflammation in some immune dysfunctions such as arthritis. 4) EFA inhibit tumor growth. 5) EFA assist in hemoglobin production - vital to life. 6) EFA hold proteins, as well as oxygen, within cell membranes helping to create electrical currents for neurological transmission. Faulty transmissions result in nervous disorders. 7) EFA facilitate the conversion of lactic acid to water to carbon dioxide thereby speeding up muscular fatigue recovery. 8) EFA maintain stability in cell division by protecting chromosomes. A deficiency of the proper fats will retard growth, and produce eczema/acne/dry skin/and dandruff, dry/dull/brittle/and sparse hair, soft/brittle/flaking nails, dry eyes and mouth, diarrhea, allergies, varicose veins, decreased or increased weight, gallstones, decreased radiation resistance, heart disease, cancers, deterioration of skin, sterility, swollen joints, liver deterioration, fatigue, emotional agitation, decreased immunity, decreased T cell production. Too much will also produce an abnormal weight gain diminishing the metabolism.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi Sandy, I'm sorry about your eczema and all these other pesky symptoms! My son had eczema for years until I started him on Carlson's Cod Liver Oil, probiotics and eliminated dairy. His skin is silky smooth now. It took a couple months of diligent use before it went away but he's been eczema-free for 2 years now. The oil and the probiotics are probably as expensive as your ointment but the health benefits are greater overall to your whole body...they should both help with your gut problems as well. Love, PH > > I have had a mild case of eczema coming and going > since after my capsules were removed. > Not that noticable but it was there > > After I had my surgery last Friday, On Saturday > I was covered in eczema on my face and scalp > > The doctor just ordered me Clobex Shampoo and > Fluticasone Prop ointment which is expensive > > I hope this eczema stays away after using these products > I started seriously detoxing yesterday and I'm on antifungals > > I am worried about my nervous system or electrodes > or whatever ya call it that's not functioning right > or if it's even the problem > > My symptoms mimic everything under the sun > This is all so complicated > > Sandy~ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi, Miriam. He's old enough that a skin prick test for food allergies would reveal his food allergies. I had mine done recently, and it was right on. After I eliminated foods that I reacted to I no longer got eczema. An allergist would perform the test, and the result is within 15-20 min. I know when I eat foods that I'm allergic to I get very irritable. > > Eczema > > > > > Hi all, > > I have an 18 year old son who is on the spectrum, but just barely.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Eczema is often a sign of a food allergy. My brother had eczema most of his life and died at 33 because of schizophrenia. I really think these two symptoms were related. My mom didn't do much research, but now we know that this can be a gluten allergy. Have you had the secretion from the eczema analyzed by a lab? What is his gut flora like? Check out " dermatitis herpetiformis " Carl Pfeiffer wrote about this. cath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading the paper I was able to figure it out with PST enzyme supports, reduction of environmental triggers and fatty acid metabolism support. It took less than 10 days for his skin to go from a life-long ravaged mess to beautiful.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 My son had a massive eczmea outbreak from his 1 year vaccines..it started the day after right at the injection site so it was pretty clear cut. He had eczema on and off for another 1.5 years until we started fish oils (he is apraxic so we were using Omega Complete 3-6- 9/ProEFA) for his speech. Within 2 months his eczema cleared up and has never come back. He is 4.5. Psoriasis is an auto-immune skin disease. People can have both eczema and psoriasis but they aren't really related except that they both involve immune system issues.

Posted by: " fabricia batlle " fabribatlle@...  fabribatlle Tue Dec 2, 2008 10:04 am (PST) Hi:  Around mid August, I started my son on the Virastop/Ole/ Vit C and Lysine combination to try eliminate his OCD behaviors and boy, they disapeared!, but now I'm starting to see them emerge again a little bit everyday. Just like it happened when this horrible nightmare started. My question is, if I increase his dosage of Virastop, what should the ratio of the other supplements be?. Right now I give him six Virastops per day, 500 mg of Vit C, 300mg of OLE  and 250 mg of the Lysine. I now I have to keep increasing, but I think I might not be giving the right dosages. Please help me, I can't bear another X-mas like the one we had last year. (he was so obsesive, he would not open his gifts because he " needed " to touch me first to be able to do it--touching people to iniciate any activity is his obsesion).  Thanks Fabricia.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Eczema for us is food related. Vit. A supplements and yeast treatment, both the anti-yeast supplement combined with enzymes and probiotics given separately a couple hours later made the eczema disappear for us, after we addressed which foods were aggravating/causing the eczema. For my son it was gluten and casein, for my daughter it is corn syrup. A food log, just a quick jot onto a pad of paper either on the fridge with a magnet (easier for us on the fridge so the log doesn't disappear into a grocery list or phone message) combined with a quick jot as you're cleaning the kitchen at night as to his day/mood. Over the years I've quantified my most important issues. So I have a 1, 2 or 3. A 1 designates irrational anger or obstinacy, inability to make choices, or purposely making bad choices, lethargic, dark circles under eyes, or weepy. A 2 means a bit slow to get things done, generally compliant with school work and chores, but some items are inevitably forgotten (gloves or lunchpail at school), hard to awaken in the morning, poor eating. A 3 means, he woke up in a good mood, on task at school and at home, a bit of a sense of humor/creativity, enough energy to have a play date or go on a run with me (he rides his bike or roller blades) and does homework and helps clean up after dinner with no complaint. A pattern will emerge after a couple of weeks. Eczema Hi all, I have an 18 year old son who is on the spectrum, but just barely.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I know this is an old email but my nephew's wife has a bad flareup of eczema and I knew I had seen info on it. Can I ask what PST enzyme support is? What kind of environmental triggers? What is fatty acid metablolism? Wondering what natural remedy is out there for short term relief and for a long term cure? Any info that I can pass on to her would be appreciated. She is pretty miserable right now. Thanks for any input, Tami Re: Re: Eczema Elminating dairy and/or using enzymes with dairy eliminated severe eczema in our house.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Can you describe the rash? Does it start as a red bump and then spread? Does the skin eventually become flaky? > Have you checked out the Sulfur and PST document in our files section: > > http://health. groups.. com/group/ /files/Related% 20Topics% 20and%20Suppleme nts/<http://health. groups.. com/group/ /files/Related% 20Topics% 20and%20Suppleme nts/> > > Getting access to that file was the reason I joined this group about a > year and a half ago.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Did you read the document PST and Sulfur in the files section of this group? It's fantastic! I wish I knew who wrote it, because it was the one thing that helped me figure out how to cure my son's eczema. Epsom salts baths, molybdenum, selenium, fatty acid metabolism support (carnitine and everything else Dana suggests in this group). Read the doc or send it to her if you think her biomedical understanding is up to the task. sathome. > > I know this is an old email but my nephew's wife has a bad flareup of eczema and I knew I had seen info on it.
