Re: Update on eczema - great news

January 5, 2007

Ilene,

What creams did you use? Were they prescription creams? Did you use any oral

antifungals or antibacterials? My 20 month old has had eczema since last

spring. It just showed up, and it was very, very severe. I put him on SCD this

fall, and it seemed to help. Then, I weened him in November(I wasn't SCD), and

the eczema got even better. He still has a little on each foot, it comes and

goes on his lower legs, and I noticed a little spot around his right wrist last

week. I don't think we've had any dietary changes, so I'm wondering if I need

to follow the same protcall that you did. Can you give me a little more

specific details on what you did, used, ect.? Thanks.

Update on eczema - great news

Dear List:

I just wanted to write and give an update on my 6 years old daughter's eczema.

I thought it might be helpful to others. I have written a copular times about

the problems I was having. Well the solution turn out to be one suggested by

for my other daughter who was having itchy toes (another story). Thank

you ! He had suggested that yeast infections can sometime be protected by

a biofilm, in my daughter's case bacterial in nature. I had tried putting (at

different times) antibacterial creams and antifungal creams on my daughter's

eczema but it seemed to have little effect (a little better then it would flare

again). My daughter's eczema seemed to react whenever she ate anything. So it

had occurred to be it was yeast related but when I tried the anti-fungal creams

it did not work. Anyway about a month ago, (after seeing about 3 doctors on this

issue with no help) it occurred to be to try the solution had proposed

for my other daughter. I alternated between antibacterial and antifungal creams.

I tried to put the antibacterial cream on at least two hours before I put

antifungal (nystatin worked best). It worked. Her eczema is completely gone.

This is the best it has been in over 2 years (really since I can remember). She

had gotten alot better on SCD but would still flare at times then in the last

six months gotten much much worse. She can eat everything again legal on the

diet without flares. I have not tried cheese. When we tried goat yogurt she did

not flare. So I am optimistic. The third doctor I went to is a functional

doctor, (a big advocate of changing one's diet to healthy one) she was so

excited to hear and supportive that I had put the girls on SCD. When I told her

about the success with the alternting creams, she put her a 30 day regimen of

diflucan so this maybe helping also. My daughter is NT but I placed her the diet

because of her severe eczema and milk allergy. I plan to keep her on the diet a

while longer because of the yeast issue. I hope this helps someone out there who

is struggling with eczema. She used to wake me every night because I think the

eczema was hurting and itching - not anymore. Thank goodness. Thanks again

for your insight. Eileen Brown

That is wonderful news!!!

It is no fun watching your child suffer with eczema. We have been

there too, my daughter had it bad, such horrible skin the first three

years of her life. Removing the gluten from her diet greatly helped.

I'm sure your daughter is much happier now!!

What kind of antibacterial did you use? Brand? Do you think it would work with

natural antibacterials and natural antifungals? I've been reading up on coconut

oil, and it is a great antifungal for internal and external use. I was thinking

that I could try that instead of the medicated antifungal. I don't know what

kind of natural antibacterial is available that I could rub on his skin. Does

anyone have something to suggest along that line? I'd like to give the naturals

a try for a couple of weeks, and if that doesn't seem to work, then I could use

the products that you used. So, I guess my other questions are...

What brand did you use for the antibacterial?

Is there a natural antibacterial that I could try?

How often did you apply each one?

You alternated them, right?

Thanks.

Update on eczema - great news

Dear Meleah:

I used an over the counter antibacterial. For the antifungal I used both

miconazole and nystatin. Miconazole is over the counter, I think it was the 6%

(This is monistat one time treatment cream for vaginal infections). Nystatin is

prescription. I kept running out of creams, I was doing it at least twice a day

or whenever I remembered and it was all aborbed on her skin, so I tried alot of

different antifungals. I thought Nystatin worked the best (you also don't need

to use as much, it goes a long way) but I had started with Miconazole because

that is what suggested to me last summer. The Miconazole did worked well

but the small tube didn't last that long. I was putting in on both arms and

legs, I had a large area to cover and I use alot but it wasn't a thick coating.

Let me know if you any other questions. Eileen Brown

Hi,

MB12 Nasal Spray can magically get rid of eczyma within less than a week. I

get mine from Lee Silsby Pharmacy. You should continue antifungals though. As

per Stan Kurtz, MB12 helps body to get rid of fungal toxins and don't get a

chance to cause Eczyma.

Thanks and Regards
