Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi all, My husband has broken out in rash. He says this happens every year, with the spring/summer weather. He had a severe case of poison ivy as a child, so bad that it was treated with steroids. He says every year since then, the poison ivy flares up when things are blooming outside, even if he hasn't been outdoors much. It's really making him uncomfortable this year; I can see the rash all over, but it's especially concentrated on his hands and fingers. I haven't had any problems - I certainly haven't 'caught' it from touching him, not sure if that's even possible. I've had him putting coconut oil on his skin, and also eating more coconut oil than normal, but is there anything else we can try? Has anyone ever heard of such a condition as recurrent poison ivy? Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much! in Tennessee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible his rash flares up at this time of year because he is getting more vitamin D from the sun which helps healing/detoxifying or eating better because it is Spring? In any case rashes are toxins are coming out through the skin, so I doubt it is any kind of bug. Hopefully he eats well and take supplements like you do. If not he would be wise to start. He could handle this problem once and for all if he did. Coconut oil and other things will help alleviate the symptoms somewhat, but it is obvious his body needs the proper nutrients to build up his immune system so it will heal naturally; then the problem may retrace for awhile but not every year on and on and on like he's been experiencing. You can also apply oil of oregano (it can be mixed 50/50 with olive oil or coconut oil). He should also do everything he can to help his body detoxify - see this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/detox.php Poison ivy can reoccur if the original symptoms were suppressed by drugs, like your husband had. Drugs almost freeze the body at the healing stage he was at when they were taken. I remember reading there are about 5 Stages to healing (I don't have my files so I cannot find it), and at each stage IF the natural healing process is suppressed it will deepen the symptoms and cause many recurring problems in future, even turning into a worse disease or condition.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 , If this rash is related to poison ivy, he needs to avoid mangos and cashews until it clears, as they are both in the same family and can aggravate symptoms. Kathy P.S. My mother has had a similar recurring rash in the spring/summer without any known exposure. I suspected it indicated a need to detox.
