gotten any responses at all so I am hoping someone here will help me

out.

I was given a 10 pound bucket of Dead Sea mud. I have heard it has

fantastic properties in it and I am anxious to test it out. I am

wondering if this can be incorporated into soaps, creams or other

toiletries and how would I do that? Or do you just use it in raw form.

As you can tell, I am completely ignorant of this product other than I

hear people rave about it and I know there must be a way to use this.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

A,

Sorry I don't personally have experience with this ingredient but I put

" dead sea mud recipes " and " dead sea mud products " (with the " s) in google

and came up with a few things. One is the following link :

http://www.soapnaturally.org/c7r.html which I can't attest to (I

don't even make CP soap) but it does answer the question of whether the mud

can be used in soaps!! LOL

here is one link that shows a few products that one company uses the dead

sea mud in. http://www.naturalhealingcenter.com/deadsea.html not recipes

but something to give you an idea.

Hth,

KimG

So, roman chamomile over other types of chamomile? I'm still learning about

EOs. I'm making shea butters and so far I have a bunch of new clients that

are loving it for their eczema. I've been trying to read up on EOs that I

can add that have benefits in this area. I hadn't gotten to roman chamomile

yet. so, is it good b/c it's soothing?

I'm trying to find out which EOs are good for eczema with out having other

side effects like for instance rosemary is said to not be good for people

with high blood pressure. So, still looking into it all. I'm glad to know

about roman chamomile. Thanks for posting.

I would suggest shea butter with some beeswax in it so it creates a

bit of a barrier on your skin. Also I would add the chamomile,

calendula, lavender, helichrysum (if you can afford it!- very pricey)

and neem oil. I would also use some kind of really moisturizing

natural soap (oatmeal and shea butter). No preservatives and no

detergents or alcohols (store soap) because it will dry your skin out

more. >

clients know that they can make a tea of these two and drink it once a

day would be a way of helping them fight this disease from the inside

as well as using your products to fight it on the outside.

Also, if there is some natural way of fragrancing your soaps and other

products, it might be better than using FOs. People who have these

skin conditions may be allergic to the scents.

,

The emu oil is a good choice. Try adding some coco butter, mango

butter, sal butter too. A little bit of each in your soaps will bring

you great results. Also, try adding dry goat's milk. You'll be

surprised how soft it makes your skin feel.

I think I am going to make both a cream and a soap. I do

have the dry goat's milk as well as a source for fresh

goat's milk. Here are the butters I have in addition to the

emu oil

Cocoa

Shea

Kokum

I was thinking about a percentage of all 3 of these. Do you

think this mixture would be a good combination? I was

thinking using this combo for both cream and soap.

I agree. I have used very little fo in my butters (only when someone asked

me for one) but I plan to continue only making unscented and EO “scented”

butter from now on unless someone asks for FO.

Hi !

My son Sam, 5yrs old, with systemic JRA, has been on remicade for

about 2 years now. It worked for a little while but has never put

him into a remission. He was on Enbrel before that which, again,

worked for a little bit. We are hoping to start Kineret soon. As

for the remicade, Sam reacts to the infusion about 75% of the time.

By react, I mean that during the infusion he gets a really bad

stomach ache, or back ache and he usually runs a fever with it.

This only happens for about 20 minutes, midway through the

infusion. The doctors have done a great job in managing his

reactions. He is given a dose of benadryl, tylenol and sterroids

prior to the infusion, then at the midway mark, they stop the

infusion and re-dose him with benadryl and sterroids. He did well

with his very first dose, but then the second dose was pretty

scary. He was in alot of pain, vomiting, fever and his oxygen

levels went down. He was put in the PICU overnight while he

received the remaining dose. Doctors believed that his severe

anemia contributed to that severe of a reaction, so he was given a

blood transfusion to boost his Hgb. He has never reacted so

severely since.

This has been Sam's experience and many factors play a role in how

well children tolerate any medication. We continued his treatment

for 2 years and I do believe it's given him relief, just not enough,

so now we are exploring other options. I wish you and lots

of luck and I will pray for her.

Take care,

--Welcome to the list .

My son has been on remicade for 14 months now and its been

a wonder for him. He is pre-medicated with tylenol, benedryl and

solumedrol and apart for a slight headache the 1st couple of

infusions he does fantastic. His temp, blood pressure, heart rate

all stay within normal limits. Benedryl doesnt have any affect on

him so hes up and playing, watching TV and walking the halls during

the infusion.

He does look pale afterward, but comes home like nothing happened

and is off doing what he usually does.

I hope the infusions go as well for jessica as they do for Nick.

Hi all, I am new here and just starting my journey to ridding my body of candida

after

many years.

I am in the second week of the Gaia Vital Cleanse kit and already see an

improvement in

my skin condition that I have been suffering from for almost a year.

However, my hair has started falling out in handfuls. I have not had any hair

loss prior to

this and it seems to be coming at a very fast rate. It is alarming to say the

least.

I am not going through any hormonal changes that I am aware of, no post

pregnancy/

menopausal type things. Everything I am reading says that hair loss is common

while

battling with Candida but I can't find any information regarding sudden hair

loss during a

cleanse. If anyone has any information that would be wonderful!

Thanks so much!
