Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Don't have the references for you but I believe they are low in Vitamin D, and topical vitamin D in ointment is one of the treatments, but Naturopaths have them take 10000iU a day for 2-3 months and check the level, and check for clinical improvement. Flax seed oil, in general very good for skin conditions such as eczema. Someone with more knowledge than me?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Grace Have not used Alcat. Sent off my first LEAP test a few weeks ago, so am a newbie to the testing. Testing may be helpful but avoiding the major triggers alone may work for the majority of patients without the added cost of LEAP testing. I hope the LEAP is successful as I tend to get many patients with unknown causes of disease that traditional hamster wheel docs don't want to deal with.
