Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 My son had 'chicken bumps' on his arms for a year which turned into a mild case of eczema. I was advised to give vitamin A in the form of cod liver oil from kirkmans. I did this for 9 months but it never cleared up. Then I tried a product called Co-Enzyme A, which is I believe, a precurser to vitamin A. I did not restart the cod liver oil. In a matter of days the 'chicken bumps' were gone. Hope this helps, . > > Hi All, > > > > My understanding is that chicken skin on upper arms is caused by > low levels of fatty acids (is that correct?)

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi and thanks for responding. Where did you get the Co Enzyme A?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi This is fascinating to me as I have always had the bumps and my children do as well. We have been taking EFAs for nearly a year! Do you know if CoEnzyme A is GFCF or SCD legal?
