Eczema Salve

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'll have to print this out and save it. My skin has always been so

dry and flaky, even in the summer months but winters the worst. I

stumbled on another very good skin conditioner. It was driving me crazy

one day, scratched till I bled. While in the shower, I washed with no

soap but used baking soda and then rinsed it off with watered down

vinegar. Stung like the dickens but by that night, I felt better. OK,

tried it again the next day. Hummmm, I was on to something. Been using

baking soda and watered down vinegar rinse for about a year now and

(knock on wood) no more dry, itchy, scaly patches. Just be careful when

washing your face, I thought I had blinded myself, lol. I have checked

into every soap making page I could find looking for a way to make a

baking soda bath bar but no luck. Any ideas?

Tracey,

The

main cause of eczema is “internal pollution” (ingesting substances

such as pollutants, heavy metals, drugs, metabolic waste products, toxins

produced by yeast, and toxins made in our body as a result of allergic

reactions). Eczema can be improved

by changing your diet, not putting stuff on your skin, although that may help

somewhat – it’s not a “forever” cure. Nutrition can be improved by the

consumption of whole foods, fresh juices, super foods supplements and food

concentrates. It should be kept in mind that the best

eczema diet is one where you consume only original foods, or foods modified

minimally, instead of consuming isolated or synthetic compounds (single amino

acids, single essential fatty acids, vitamins or minerals).

From

foods, our bodies must derive all 50+ essential nutrients, on a daily basis, to

function in a healthy way. Deficiency of any of these

essential nutrients can lead to degenerative processes and degenerative

diseases such as eczema. It's

difficult to define the impact of a particular nutrient on any specific

disease. The reason is that nutrients work together synergistically, not

separately, to improve physiological function, reduce disease risk and help the

body defend itself against disease producing processes.

For

example, it has been scientifically proven through clinical research that

individuals with eczema appear to have deficiencies in essential fatty acids. BUT,

instead of taking essential fatty acids as individual supplements (i.e., fish

oil), it is always better to eat foods high in essential fatty acids.

Remove

offending foods – beef, chicken, pork (acid producing) – eat 75%

alkalizing foods, 25% acid foods; remove all dairy products; high-glycemic grains; breads/yeasts; hydrogenated oils and margarines

(plastic foods); alcohol, regular and decaffeinated coffee and tea, regular and

diet soft drinks, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food colorings,

additives and man-made synthetic vitamin and mineral supplements (use whole

food supplements (super foods) such as bee pollen, blue green algae, etc.)

I

have a friend who cured herself of eczema by diet alone.
