Re: itching

Reading some of the other responses - remind me when we get together

with the massage session that I get out a couple of creams/lotions I

have here that you might want to try. One of them is a combination

of Emu Oil and Aloe Vera that I have read good reports about and

have used myself for sunburns.

I used to get horrible itching & skin welts, rashes from " the yeasties " as they

call them in candida-land. Yeasts are fungi in the intestinal tracts. Too much

sugar or carbs, breads, cakes, pastries, candies, even fruit & fruit drinks or

sodas can cause them too. Also fertilizers on unwashed foods. Or working in the

garden, with fertilizers, soil amenders, potting soils, etc. And/or pesticides.

Also detergents, deodorants, perfumes, dewrinkling dryer cloths & liquids. Oh

and antibiotics or some medications too or scleroderma skin ulcerations

specially on the hands, etc, etc. etc.. Maybe even PIG...LOL!! But to eliminate

the itching & /or rash, ya gotta find the internal or external cause first.

Re: Itching

Deb, another thought---itching can be a fungal issue on your skin.

My husband has had it just recently, especially on his back, and had

to get an anti-fungal cream from the doc. Made it go right away.

There could also be OTC fungal creams. Janie
