Re: Can die off make eczema worse?

[Guest guest]

what about baths in real dead sea salts? getting chlorine filters for bath and

shower water? raw shea butter (buy from a trusted dealer, you can get wholesale

prices...no fragrance, just raw. Also, high potency manuka honey applied

topically (they make ointments, also you can find online)...Flax oil mixed in

food helps alot too (and very good for the diet) And...could it be another skin

disorder?

I did have dermatitis that flares up when I am in a cycle of die off, which is

causing me to be even more diligent in the extras (supplements, etc) and to

watch out for allergens)

Best of luck to you!!! Dana

I've tried raw shea butter as well as dead sea salts. Nothing is

touching this! Part of the trouble is he is itching all day long. We

can't get him to stop. He has patches that are open and bleeding he

has itched so much.

Die-off and detoxing generally only last a few days. What foods is

your son eating, and what supplements? Might be one of them that is

aggravating him.

I have eczema and several forms of dermatitis, so I know how awful

things can get. I have to very careful with foods, soaps, lotions,

even my environment.

Depending on the rash, I find cortisone ointment (OTC) works well for

several hours. Keeps the itching down, and soothes the skin. I also

use Vaseline when my rashes start bleeding and my skin cracks.

Hope things are better for him by now.
