Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 > In examining my son prior to putting him to bed, I noticed something a little scary. I was looking at his cheeks, when the light revealed small flesh colored bumps on his forehead and along his hairline, we've called it chicken skin in the past. I've seen similar bumps on his stomach, I've had some on my arms. But this is on his face. Anyone seen this with CLO, glutathion, glutamine, monolaurin, zinc or DMG? I am fighting this for #4, and to some extent #3, right now. The Lauricidin [monolaurin] " sort of " helped, but it had other side effects which were not good, even with enzymes [and I gave it 2 weeks, to see if it was die off]. But olive leaf extract works well for them, so yesterday I dropped the Lauricidin and kept the OLE, now the bumps are getting better and the nasty side effects of the Laurcidin are almost gone. So probably viral, at least for my kids. [PS - #2 seems to need both Lauricidin AND olive leaf extract, but his viral issues are not skin related.] Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I so completely appreciate this. It's difficult when you have a whole host of supplements going, to know what's going on. I found it though, and I'm amazed that I discovered it last night. I was trying to remember what finally cleared the bumps on his stomach up, and in going through my journal I found the passage. Seems it was one of the last changes I made prior to seeing Dr. Goldberg this year. We eliminated the Tide detergent, and used Dreft for everything. Well, we went to the snow recently, and the snow gear throws my machine out of whack, so we use my Mom's front load washing machine. Well, his beanie ( I've bought him several for the cold weather months) was washed with our snow clothes, and my Mom uses Tide. He wore his red beanie yesterday and the day before. This explains the forehead and hairline bumps. I'm so excited. I believe I've found the source of his red cheeks. My mini dachshund broke out something awful recently, and I've come to the conclusion it is the carpet shampoo I'm using. It's the gentlest most hypo allergenic formula I could find, but apparently it's still too much. ph's cheeks are fine in the morning, and all the way up until we do our therapy, and that takes place in our living room, which I've had to shampoo three times in the past couple of months. It took the Tide issue for me to examine the timing of his cheeks flaring up in relation to anything other than his supplements. Sometimes I get such tunnel vision. I'm going to reintroduce the OLE, OoO and GSE in rotation again. Continue with his foods unchanged, and keep him at my Mom's the next couple of days. If his cheeks stay clear, I'll know for sure. Thank you to everyone for your help. ----- Original Message ----- From: danasview <danasview@...> < > Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 7:58 AM Subject: Re: Bumps on face > > > In examining my son prior to putting him to bed, I noticed something a little scary.

I'm almost positive it caused problems. Now there's no carpet in the house and I clean the rugs with Nature's Miracle (enzymes!) or every once in a blue moon I rent one of those steamers and just use water. Now I'm much less afraid of dirt than I am of the chemicals to get rid of it. Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 LOL Nell me too! No carpets at all and only one rug in our house. We have tiles and underfloor heating now - so much easier to keep clean anyways Mandi in UK > .
