Re: Thinking out loud about again...

Hi ,

I don't have too much to offer, other than to suggest you may want to

drop in on Owens over at the sulfurstories group if you haven't

already. My son is doing really, really well since we started the

Brainchild Spectrum II vitamins and minerals, and I've noticed a lot

of those ingredients are discussed in the sulfur group. We also soak

him in the epsom salts for every bath. He, of course, also has

eczema.

Glad is doing so well. Hope you've come across something big

for him with the baths.

Does the Epsom Salts help the exzema?

Signed,

Debi, who is slowly morphing into one giant eczema flake!

What I just remembered is that over the last several weeks when he

has his baths, maybe twice a week since he has eczema, I have added

epsom salts to the bath water.

Some people who have eczema report that the ES baths do help their

condition... I think I have only seen one person over the years say

they felt that it was worse from it, but only temporarily so.

Discontinue the baths for a time if it seems to aggravate it. Those

with eczema often commented that their skin felt really nice after

the ES bath.

FWIW,

Epsom salts may help. If the epsom salts are too drying, try putting

on some coconut oil - supposedly very good for skin anyway and very

soothing.

Probiotics or enzymes may help (I think you already been that route)

essential fatty acids might help

If you really get to the end of the options and want to try

something else, consider the Clinique Dramatically Different

Moisturizing Lotion. I have no idea what is in it. But in college,

sometimes I needed to spend hours grinding soil samples - a very

dusty extremely drying job. My hands would be so dry and cracked

with the skin flaking off, I could hardly bend them. I got a sample

of that lotion at the mall and it healed the skin in 1/8 the time. I

used it throughout college.

I will be purchasing a BIG GIANT VAT after church tomorrow! Wonder

if they sale it by the truckload at Walgreens...

We do the epsom salt baths too. He also bathes every 2 days or so

because of dry skin. It's hard to say whether they help because most

of the time, my son is very calm. I have to say, eliminating

phenolic foods was the biggest intervention we did that helped my

son after eliminating gluten, casein, soy,and corn.

I am hoping the No Fenol will help us reintroduce those fruits and

vegetables as I know it is unhealthy to not eat them. But my son

didn't start gaining weight or stop headbanging until all of the

highly phenolic foods were removed from his diet.

After removing bananas, his " drunken sailor gait " went away and his

muscle tone improved. After removing peaches, all headbanging

stopped completely (unless he has a food exposure). His severe, all

over body eczema disappeared after removing tomatoes.

For him, a phenolic food is like a light switch for his symptoms to

return. We tried " safe " brown sugar cookies this summer and he was

like on speed - did laps around our house for two hours, became

completely lost, wouldn't respond to his name, and headbanged.

Like I said in an earlier post, he had a banana today after one week

on the no fenol and he seems to have tolerated it fine except he did

not take a nap. But no " bad " behaviors.

Hope that helps.

Truly,

a P.S. Can anyone else answer this... some vaccines contain

phenols... would this be why they become a problem? Injected into

the system, system thinks it is a " virus " to fight off, reacts to

phenols in food...

I am not sure if this factors into why we have had a great couple

of weeks, but I am sure interested in doing the research to find

out!
