I am no longer using it as I suspect that it may be of a warm nature and not good for a burning area.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes, some people bathe in sea salt or epsom salts which also helps replenish the body's magnesium levels. Turns out most of us are deficient in magnesium. Salt is very healing. My husband has a scaling palm of the hand condition which is horrible in business when you have to shake hands. When we are able he likes to buy the Dead Sea Salt scrub - it really helps control it. I have a little bottle of tea tree oil and I tried it on an ant bite yesterday and it worked better than anything I have ever tried. Might be worth looking into since it does have anti-fungal-bacterial properties. Grapefruit Seed Extract also has these properties but must be diluted or it can burn. Looking to diet is good but probably must figure out an elimination diet. > > Actually Tara, > > Kombucha can do wonders for Candida, it got mine under control with > > just one application.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Eczema is the bodies safest route to clear toxins.. It is worse with acidic balance. We used to get my son to sit in a bath where the water had been run through a sock filled with oats!!- Oats contain a chemical called avena sativa which is very soothing and calming.. We stopped using soap and used the oat filled sock to take the place of soap..- worked well - Other trick was to ensure that if you are in a hard water area... you get a good watersoftener. We could check the salt levels in our softener by the extent of our son's eczema Avoid sugary foods and too much protein as both tend to acidify the body. best wishes Tracey On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 2:46 PM, <mark.grabiec@...> wrote: Hmm, Tom had this a tiny bit as a baby but now his little brother has it big time.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 PS be very careful with evening primrose oil- a friend and I are both really intolerant to it- side effects -depression high anxiety unstable blood sugars!! and we are both healthy and relatively fit.. Not sure how some of the underfunctioning systems in ASD kids might cope with it.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Steph, My son Harry's excema was really bad, i use Shea butter from Nutricentre or Dr Organics from Holland and Barrett, his excema has improved since introducing probiotics and fighting his candida, he is also GF/CF (nearly a year now) and this year it has improved loads, i have found certain foods flair it up, brocolli, garlic, tomatoes and berry fruits - so could be possibly salicylates, phenol issues so these foods are limited to very small amounts very infrequently. Hope that helps. x Autism Treatment From: mark.grabiec@...Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 14:46:44 +0000Subject: Eczema Hmm, Tom had this a tiny bit as a baby but now his little brother has it big time.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hi Lyndon, Nice video, I have found that most cases of eczema are due to gluten intolerance and respond within a week or two once the diet is cleaned up.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I am battling eczema too (for the first time in my 51 years) after a reaction to a blood pressure medication. I am off all bp meds but the eczema is still very widespread 12 weeks on. It is improving this week with hypericum cream (St 's Wort) recommended by my naturopath (she also has me drinking nettle tea but not sure if it helps). Sunshine seems to help too - luckily I live in a secluded area where I can spend a little time each day gardening in the raw. I have a friend who has used Silic 15 cream for many years with great success - it seems to act as a barrier to prevent contact dermatitis. Doctor's cortisone cream was a huge disappointment. I am inclined to think the medication has thrown something out of kilter in my internal works but am struggling to guess what. Very interested in your suggestions about what helped you Don. Might go back on my rotation diet if the creams don't clear it up soon. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
