Rosie, You are such a darling.

I read this posting and am so deeply touched although it was not

specifically addressed to me.

Thanks to you on behalf of us all but more especially on behalf of Connie.

==>Laurie, that is wonderful you are doing well on the candida diet.

Good for you! About your family member's rash, the body does

externalize to the skin abnormal things going on inside in order to

protect vital inner organs. The immune system causes itching when it is

trying to get rid of toxins, which are mainly histamines created by the

liver. Sugars, high carbs, processed foods, etc. will increase itching.

You are correct that it is caused by stress and an poor diet. Coconut

oil is very good, as well as epsom salt baths, and of course minimizing

stress and a good diet.

==>Also alternate coconut oil applied directly to the rash with raw

crushed garlic gently rubbed on the rash. A really good remedy is to

soak raw crushed garlic in coconut oil for 2 or more days, keeping it

in a warm place so the coconut oil stays liquid, strain, and apply it

directly on the rash. One could also blend coconut oil and the garlic

in a blender or food processor, strain and apply it right away. You

could also dump the contents out of 2 Kyolic garlic capsules into 1

tablespoon of coconut oil, mix well and apply.

==>The rash will not subside until the diet has corrected whatever is

causing the problem, but the above suggestions can soothe it.

I am strictly eating meat and veggies and that is all.

It is like a red bumpy rash and it hurts as well as itches and I get

chills on the arms.

The itching is only on the arms. I have celiac Sprue and Dermatitis

Herpetiformis which come out eating Iodine. I have cut back with the

salt,but continue to drink lemon juice.

I am wondering if the body is getting better as I have been able to go

down off medicationand other supplements. I know I have s

Thyroid Syndrome,but now am wondering if I dont need that medication

anymore as the liver might be making T-4?

Thanks for the suggestions Bee. The diet has been implemented cold

turkey because this is the worst reaction in the past 5 years. It

used to be painful burning feet especially in the winter around exam

time. Well this time the rash on the arms broke out at the beginning

of an exam. Needless to say it was a great distraction. So I'm hoping

to help decrease the die off and weight loss problems that will come

soon by providing lots of good food in addition to the soaks and

coconut oil as soon he returns home. Hopefully he will get the diet

down well and start improving before the stress of next term mounts.

Thanks again

Laurie

> Has anyone had an issue with a severe rash that won't go away?

>

yes I have, and in my case it was probably Lyme related. A bit difficult to

describe, because english is not my native language ;(

I got small hard red bumps on the skin (mostly on the lower chest, some on the

arms/legs) that lasted for several weeks. The bump pattern was a bit symmetrical

for left and right side of the body (suggests neuro involvement I am told). They

are extremely itchy and if you pinch them some VERY sticky clear fluid comes

out. It gets worse in warm/humid conditions.

This started about a year after a got bitten by a tick and before I had any

treatment (the docs didn't believe I had Lyme then). My dermatologist at the

time said that it could be related to Borrelia (apparently see had seen

something similar before), but because my test was negative they treated

it as a fungal infection. That didn't work at all, but ultimately most of it

disappeared after about two months.

The problem has resurfaced a few times since then in a milder form (also after

antibiotics treatment for Lyme). I still have one place on my right arm where

such a rash appears from time to time, exactly at the same spot. It now lasts

just a few days and then disappears, so seems to be improving. I have never seen

this problem before I was bitten.

I still don't know what it is. Externally they look a bit similar to the itchy

(but soft) bumps that can appear on the skin out of nowhere, and always

disappear in a few hours (don't know the english word, some kind of mild

allergic/stress reaction).

Does some of this sound familiar?

Since you've been off the andro for a month and it's getting worse, it seems

safe to say it's not the andro, and I'd probably go back on it. But it may be

that as you beat down Borrelia, another coinfection may be rearing it's head and

making itself known. Have you treated for Babesia at all?

If not, you should try it and see if that helps.

> My daughter and I have both been on the Buhner protocol since late February.

While the Lyme has manifested as MS in me and pychologically in my daughter we

do share some of the same herxing symptoms. Or at least we are hoping that it's

herxing. However, I have gotten an extremely severe rash on my chest. I read

in his book that 1% of patients get a severe rash using the Andrographis so I

stopped. It's been at least a month and the rash has not gone away. In fact it

has flare ups that don't seem to make sense. It is worse now then it has ever

been and spreading a bit. I also have lost my sense of taste (mostly) which I

read can be caused by Resveratrol. I did not stop taking this though as I can

deal with the lack of taste. But the rash is about to drive me crazy. And if

it isn't the Andrographis then I want to get back on it to get back to killing

the Lyme.

YES! I took an extremely low starting dose and within days developed a horrible

rash. I'm probably an extreme-extreme case, but my rash will not go away after

being off the herb since Jan. or Feb. (I'd have to check my records to be sure.)

Over the weekend I thought it was finally clearing but yesterday it came back

with a vengeance. My chest is red and bumpy, but my underarm and sides are

covered with almost raw welts. My face itches and is slightly red. I'm ready to

go crazy with this horror.

I did post on Planet Thrive and got a suggestion for things to do topically, but

while they temporarily soothe, the rash comes back. I'm beginning to wonder if

this has done something to my immune system, perhaps overstimulated it, and

triggered an ongoing inflammatory state?

I'd welcome any suggestions to rid myself of this new demon, which rivals all

the Lyme symptoms I already have.

Yes. I started my treatment under doctor care with extremely high doses of

Mepron. I made it through 3 bottles. I was taking high doses of Artemisian as

well. I then started to attack the Bartonella and Lyme with antibiotics. I

stopped and switched to the Buhner protocol due to not wanting to feel like

death anymore. My daughter suffers terribly with joint pain. I however, have

this nasty rash that is evil and won't go away. I did get back on the andro and

it doesn't seem to have changed the rash in any way. I'm just lost on this one.

Hi .. Im not sure what you took I didnt seee the previous post. After

they yanked my tonsils for no good reason (before being dxd) I develope an all

over body itch rash which remains to this day .. obviusly set off my immune

system, histimine is what causes it, but what caused histimine to ramp up ?

For Immediate relief call your doc and have him prescribe Vistaril or

Hydroxyzine Palmate 50mg. Its an antihistimine as well as an nervine,

considered light acting so most docs will call in the script. Youll take it as

soon as you get it if its as you described. After that try taking it at night,

at first its lightly sedative .. itll take a few days to get it under control,

but you will find almost immediate comfort. Ive been having a flare lately, no

clue why and tried it under the tounge, no bad taste and will absorb into your

system faster.

For Long term, try tripling your High dose B-Vitamins, Ive been researching

this for another rash on my scalp .. it " appears " to be helping .. this is more

along the dermititus(sp) area. Several Bs involved in the skin, but I think it

was B1 or B2 that was the main one. But, B's need to be balanced so i take the

high potentcy B x 3 .. if you dont notice any improvement in 3 or 4 days .. Id

stop. For myself, i dont like to take high doeses of anything unless outright

working .. because it has potentials that I may not be aware of of causing

embalances. Im not sure if its malaborbsion, or receptor site blockage etc

etc....no clue here... Ive had to learn to control symptoms on my own since

texas doesnt have medical, but they dont have any lyme docs either .. so .. woop

de dooo.. laughin so I dont do the opposite.

Good Luck .. and dont forget to research..even if you dont understand it all

youll come away with something .. and it does add up to make a difference...

smiles,

Thanks for the suggestions, . My reaction was to the andrographis.

Buhner gave me suggestions for soothing the skin, which help but don't eradicate

it. I need to find a doctor to get a script (I'm new to the area and don't have

a gp yet). Thanks again and best to you.

My child has itchy rash that has spread to her stomach on her cheeks and her

arms( on the other side of her elbows). She also has a lot of gas because she is

constantly burping. She's on a GFCF diet, taking vit C, cod liver oil,

probiotics, methyl  B12  and sometimes magnesium and zinc. She recently started

parasite treatments.

 

I don't know what could be causing this. I would appreciate any help.

 

Thanks

At my house, the gas/burping usually meant yeast overgrowth, sometimes

intolerances.

Vitamin C and mB12 caused a lot of yeast here, more than would be controlled by

probiotics. Try increasing the yeast protocol, see if that helps.

Since the parasite treatment is new, it might not be tolerated.

@@ Hi Norm,

Dexamethasone acts as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant. Anything

Immunosuppressant is a big red flag and something I would advise one keeps away

from in the future. Suppressing your greatest internal defense system is

something you never want to do. Hopefully you have discontinued the use of this

medication.

I would not recommend adding more toxins like Benadryl to address the

rash/itching neither. Instead use some treatments from the article link below.

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/skin5.php#a2

Anyway, Norm, I'd say your body is having a detox reaction since Corticosteroids

like Dexamethasone tend to worsen fungal infections i.e Candida. Thus the

detox reaction i.e skin rash/itching. Therefore , be patient and use some

treatments above to assist in healing and detox.

Furthermore, I too suffered with rash and maddening generalized body itching for

over a month until I applied a healthy diet similar to Bee's. After I ommitted

all the crap i.e sugar, tylenol ... the itching subsided and disappeared. I

also suggest you forget the Dermatologist and save your time/money. Your skin

is not your problem, its your immune system which needs to be addressed.

And you already have the tools to accomplish this, you just need to apply them.

Continue with the diet, supplements along with the treatments above and should

feel better soon.

Try not to take anymore unnecessary medications that adds

burden to your immune system. Before, considering a drug, inquire here on

group, perhaps we have a safer alternative.

Take care,

Thanks Ed for letting me know that you went thru a month of this crazy itching.

OK I have one week under my belt and I will tough it out now that I feel a

little more confident that this affliction is just another form of good ole

candida fungus. I have already tried all the remedies in Bee's article except

for lemon and apple cider or bath.

I often get a bright red rash on my chest but this one went down to my stomach

and up onto my shoulders with bumps that never occurred before.

I injured the rotator cuff last May and the injury has plagued me since. I knew

of the dangers of the steroid but I was desperate to heal the shoulder after

such a long period of time but suffered the consequence.

I have now had this fungal rash for over a week and I noticed today that it is

still spreading. It's as if the main bodies are having little babies. I am

mainly alternating btwn oregano oil and tea tree oil on a base of coconut oil 3

times a day. Baking soda makes the itching worse if that's possible.

I would like to keep using natural remedies but I am getting fearful that this

might spread lower than my stomach if you know what I mean. Any other

suggestions?

Also I wonder, if this giant rash resulted from the meds that I took why the

fungus came out thru my skin so quickly? Thank you.

Hi Norm. Your symptoms are parallel with what's called Herxheimer reaction,

which means that your body is going through normal detox of toxins given off

from yeasts, mold & bacteria. Don't be alarmed at the severity of the rash. Once

again, this is normal and actually vital to the recovery process.

Personally, I would keep using the coconut oil everyday and stop using the

baking soda. The pH of the skin is slightly acidic so the natural acids in

coconut oil will be your best shot at minimizing the yeast-beast!

Detox can be a long process given the fact that the majority of us have been on

antibiotics since childhood.

@@ Hi Norm,

Rashes or other skin irritations i.e itching are symptoms of the body detoxing.

In your case your body has chose your skin to get rid of toxins rather other

routes i.e eyes, nose ..etc.

Furthermore, while I directed you to some treatments, do not overdo it by using

too many treatments at once. Perhaps coconut oil combined with oregano oil or

tea tree oil, whichever combo you feel best comfortable, stick with. Apply by

patting on skin, NOT rubbing and bring it down to 2 times per day. Baking soda,

particularly, I felt to make itching worse, so perhaps you may wish to stick to

coconut oil, since you may find it more soothing.

Keep baths or showers warm - lukewarm NOT hot. Cool wet cloths patted to itching

areas may also give you some relief from itching. Also keep your clothing loose,

preferably cotton & non synthetic.

Nonetheless, Norm, I know you are impatient as I was, but you need to give time

for healing and its only been a week. You will feel better. I experienced

itching and some rash for a few weeks, which slowly improved until finally

healed.

In all probability the rash is due to the body detoxing the med , Dexamethasone

you recently used. Irregardless, you can be certain the rash is due to your body

ridding you of toxins through your skin it does not want. Which is a good

thing, moving you towards better health.

Be patient, sometimes it gets a little worse before it heals. Thus the healing

reaction you are noticing and experiencing.

Thanks Ed and Luke, I guess I needed the reassurance. Norm

Immunosuppressant is a big red flag and something I would advise one keeps away

from in the future. Suppressing your greatest internal defense system is

something you never want to do. Hopefully you have discontinued the use of this

medication.

Corticosteroids like Dexamethasone tend to worsen fungal infections i.e

Candida. Thus the detox reaction i.e skin rash/itching. Therefore , be patient

and use some treatments above to assist in healing and detox.

time/money. Your skin is not your problem, its your immune system which needs

to be addressed.

> Hi Norm. Your symptoms are parallel with what's called Herxheimer reaction,

which means that your body is going through normal detox of toxins given off

from yeasts, mold & bacteria. Don't be alarmed at the severity of the rash. Once

again, this is normal and actually vital to the recovery process.

+++Hi Luke,

Maybe you missed it but the terms " die-off " and " Herxheimer Reactions " were

fabricated by the medical industry in order to justify taking antibiotics,

antifungals, etc. to treat (supposedly kill off) bugs, candida, fungus, etc.

What is actually happening is the body is producing normal healing and

detoxifying reactions.

Any " supposed " toxins produced by bugs, candida, etc. are because they dilute,

neutralize or minimize the effects of toxins/poisons so that's why your body

created such bugs.

That's why Candida, bacteria, etc. cannot be cured by " killing them off " or by

" trying to get rid of them. " They are only cured by getting healthy, which is

done by:

1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (Bee's diet plus supplements which provides all

of the nutrients any Human needs in order to be healthy).

2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer).

3) Eliminating damaging foods.

4) Eliminating toxins in general.

When you are healthy enough your body automatically " changes " candida (or any

bug, cancer, etc.) back into the organism it is supposed to be when the body is

healthy.

It's like the manure pile and the flies, with the manure pile representing the

poor condition of the body. You cannot get rid of the manure pile by killing

off the flies. You must clean up the manure pile instead, which means getting

healthy according to Nature's Laws on Health.

See this article about Die-Off and Herxheimer Reactions to understand:

All the best, Bee

Hi, Norm. Lynn here. I can totally relate to your experience as well. Itchy

skin (to the point of insanity) all over my arms was my cross to bear. If I

could offer you some encouragement to stick with Bee's program---it will get

better. I started Bee's program March 2010. It took a couple of months for my

symptoms to subside considerably, so hang in there! When I was " healed " I made

the mistake of going off of the supplements and adding in some cookies and mac &

cheese with the kids every now and then :-) ...and my symptoms came back. So 2

months later I am back on Bee's program--strict, no cheats. My symptoms once

again have considerably subsided. Although progress/healing is never as quickly

as we want---in fact it gets worse before it gets better---but I am sure you

will be noticing a very gradual improvement. Again, please be patient and don't

cheat and the program will work for you too.

During my several months hiatus from Bee's program my husband turned me on to

the Paleo Diet. That did NOT work for me. I realize I can't even tolerate a half

a banana every now and then--maybe some day. This was caused my renewed

commitment to what DOES work for me---Bee's diet. Best wishes to you!
