Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Does anyone have a suggestion/ideas to cure skin itching? This has been going on for about 5 weeks. Lotion does help some but not enough. There is no rash just iching all over. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Don't google Morgellon's or you'll never sleep at night!!!! I've put coconut oil on itchy spots before and it cleared them up pretty quickly. It's the best I've found for dry skin. --- In , " Leona " <tlukasiewicz@...> wrote: > > Does anyone have a suggestion/ideas to cure skin itching? This has > been going on for about 5 weeks.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Morgellon's -- NOT :-). The coconut oil is on my desk so I will get busy with that.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Lee I agree, coconut oil works very well for me too. However, if you've never moisturized w/ CO before be sure to test a patch on your skin first because a small percentage of folks are allergic to it. Prior to using CO I used and LOVED kiss my face olive & aloe moisturizer for hands and body. I switched because CO is cheaper and I can use it on my face.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Have you added anything new to your diet lately? I found that I developed strange itching on my extremities (mainly shins and then forearms) when I started drinking Helios Nutrition's kefir. I figured it must have been some kind of reaction. A few days after I stopped, the itching went away. -Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 To add another question to skin itching. My dad had back surgury about four years ago and as he recalls " since " then he has really bad itching on his legs (both of his calves have some numbness from the back surgury). When the itching starts, it is very bad where he almost scratches his legs until they bleed. He had been calling the Dr. and getting a prescription for Methyiprednisolone, which would help for a while each time. It seems he was telling his Dr. he had another case of poision ivy over the phone and the Dr. was filling it without seeing him. I just found out this was going on and now need to find him some other solution... Any reccomendations would be appreciated. Could this be tied to the surgury or should I look for other culprits? He is a hardworking farmer who is on his feet most of the day and very active, His father had really bad circulation that resulted in some nasty leg ulcers in his 70's and 80's. Just in case any of this might help. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 My father had a problem with itching. It turned out to be a dairy allergy. It is possible that your father has developed an allergy to something. Irene At 10:50 AM 11/8/06, you wrote: >To add another question to skin itching.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 It is very dangerous to take prednisone casually like that. Your immune system essentially stops and takes a long time to rebuild. With the numbness after back surgery, he could quite possibly have circulation problems. He needs to see a doctor and stop taking prednisone. Just my opinion, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Colin- Helios adds FOS and inulin to their kefir, so your reaction could well be due to dysbiosis caused by consuming those additives. > Have you added anything new to your diet lately?

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have had itching for many years on my arms. I have tons of scars. The itching used to hurt so bad before I changed my diet that I would have to put ice on my skin. It's like the skin would open up and I would have these little dots of liquid that later would become tiny scabs which would of course later itch. I found it helpful not to itch with my fingernails directly but with a cloth (my shirt or whatever) covering my nails. That helped a lot. Anyway after like eight years of this, I realized it happens when I eat a lot of dairy. It's not dairy in and of itself but I believe it's connected to the yeast in my system that protects my body from my mercury poisoning. The answer for me was to cut back on dairy and when I eat dairy, b/c it's so tasty, I use milk and honey lotion by Burts Bees. This is the only thing that has ever relieved the itching on contact. I actually heard about it through another mercury toxic person who was helped greatly by it. You can get it at Whole Foods or Wild Oats > > >To add another question to skin itching.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I just heard selenium helps bind mercury and get it out of the body. > It's not dairy in and of itself but I believe it's connected > to the yeast in my system that protects my body from my mercury > poisoning.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Thanks everyone for your input on the skin itching. My dad is very fond of cheese and eats it frequently. He isn't a huge milk fan, but he does eat icecream. He also has plenty of mercury fillings, so everything mentioned is a possibliby. I will pass the information along and see if he can find a connection between diary/food allergies and the itching. Thanks again, > > I have had itching for many years on my arms.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I know of a guy who had several times the lethal limit of lead and cadmium in his system, and detoxed most of it out in 18 months by taking 20 drops of 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide in 2 liters of water every day. Based on what I've heard from people who work with mercury, it responds very well to peroxide. Start out with just 1 or 2 drops in a liter of water, then increase by 1 drop every couple of days. mike >.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Having suffered for years (prior to NT) with dry skin, I found CO not nearly viscous enough to dampen my itching. Then I found palm oil, which works very well, but turns you orange. I don't care. I mix it half and half with CO and that tones it down a bit. I love how it doesn't disappear, soemtimes for a few days. jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
