Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Totally off topic, By way of background : Granddaughter No 1 has active haemochromatosis and has her diet under control. I, grandma, have double double (no mistake) genes for haemochromatosis, and double genes for coeliac disease. I do have coeliac disease, multiple food sensitivities, food allergies, ana to mangos, and multiple chemical sensitivities. Grandaughter telephoned tonight to say that she has mutliple white spots on her back. They are not bumps, they are not itchy. They just look ugly. (Her normal skin tone is a lovely dark colour (haemochromatosis). She lives in an area of Qld that has unremitting rainfall, including flooding , for the entire duration of this year. As a stop gap, I have told her to start taking Cod Liver Oil and Evening Primrose Capsules, and Biotin and Magnesium. There are no naturopaths in the town where she lives, a four hour drive to see one, and she says the medical services there " suck " . She has very little money, lost her job and accomodation when the floods hit. Any suggestions as to what the bumps are and a possible treatment would be greatly appreciated.

My son was iron toxic, I used IP6 to reduce his body load of iron. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi Sylvia I grew up in Cairns. I recall having white spots on arms and legs at one stage - can't recall if was on my trunk as well (this was the 70's). It wasn't an itchy rash or a bumps, just white areas (which grew bigger over time). It seemed to come on suddenly, but the doc said it was only showing up as we'd finally had some sun and that area wouldn't tan. It was diagnosed as a skin fungus and I recall having to have a watery lotion from the chemist applied which got rid of it. This was from a GP Maybe look at what is suggested for yeast protocols - same type of thing. Good luck for your granddaughter. :-) (now in Brisbane) Grandaughter telephoned tonight to say that she has mutliple white spots on her back. They are not bumps, they are not itchy.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Has your granddaughter had these on her body for a long time? People who have the dark brown caféolait (sp?) spots on their body or white spots can be a sign of non-tumor fibromatosis. My daughter has a few of these spots on her body and my niece was once diagnosed with the non tumor type of fibromatosis because she has very large café olait spots on her back. Thankfully, she recently had this diagnosis dismissed by her neurologist. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Haks Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 10:22 AM Subject: RE: OT- white spots on back Hi Sylvia I grew up in Cairns.
