Skin lesions/thyroid problems

[Guest guest]

Reader suggestions from wddty.co.uk:

Skin lesion: " A reader has a small lesion on her nose due to sun

damage.  Three years ago she had it removed (it was non-malignant) but

it has recently returned.  Her dermatologist has recommended Efudix

cream (containing five per cent Fluorouracil), but she has used it

before and found it to be very irritating, causing scabs.  She would

much prefer to try something natural.  Do readers have any

suggestions? "

Reader suggestions: One reader has found Chelidonium tincture to be

excellent for skin lesions, as well as ulcers and warts.  Ian,

however, reckons the best remedy is honey - applied to the area straight

from the comb.  Other topical suggestions are Aloe vera gel, Calendula

ointment and Raspex Skin Gel.  Or you could try Curaderm BEC5 Cream,

which, according to Betsy, " is a bit pricey but does work. "   For more

information visit www.curaderm.net.  Also, consider supplementing with

selenium, beta-carotene and vitamin E.

Radioiodine treatment: " A woman with multi-system disease problems

including underlying ME/fibromyalgia has recently undergone radioiodine

treatment for an overactive thyroid.  However, her reaction to the

procedure was a complete reversal of what the doctors were expecting:

she became hyperthyroid.  In addition, her voice has become hoarse and

she has lost her singing voice entirely.  Have any readers experienced

similar reactions to the procedure and what can be done to help, she

asks?  So far, she has been prescribed the antithyroid drug

carbimazole, but it has failed to correct the hormonal imbalance. "

Reader suggestions: Cathi has had both an underactive and overactive

thyroid and was treated accordingly with drugs.  When she stopped the

treatment, however, her symptoms returned, so she decided to seek

alternative therapies.  She went to see a doctor specialising in

traditional Chinese medicine who put her on a course of acupuncture and

Chinese herbs.  Now her thyroid is in the normal range and, best of

all, there are no side effects!

with any health queries you may have, whether it's ways to tackle a

nasty ingrown toenail or alternative therapies to help children with

attention deficit disorder. We'll post them on Readers' Broadcast,

inviting helpful hints, suggestions and comments from other readers, and

then write up their responses the following week. Remember, a problem

shared is a problem halved.

Note: Due to the sizeable influx of queries we get each week, it may not

always be possible to post your question in the next Readers' Broadcast.

However, it will emerge through the backlog at some point and we will

try to post them in a future edition. So please be patient and keep an

eye out!

I swear by Apple Cider vinegar. Soak some up on a cotton ball and dab area

3-4 times per day.

I have seen quite a few of my old timer friends use it on their skin cancer,

After about 3 weeks the skin cancer on the face or shoulder just " fell

off " . Mind you, I do not know what type of cancer they had. However, I know

that

it really worked for them. I have heard from others where it worked for them

as well.
