Dry skin

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeannie,

It was many years ago that I was told to stop the fabric softener,,,back

when the dryer sheets were the most popular one to use. Perhaps the liquid

ones aren't as bad, or have been improved over the years. I just got used

to not using anything, and still don't. As for the baby oil,,,,,yes, it's

much cheaper, so is worth a try at least. You are soooo right about all the

advertising " promises " ,,,,,,,,promises that allow the manufacturers to put a

high price on their product!! I don't mind paying extra for something if it

truly is better than the rest, or works better for me, but I spend a fortune

looking for the one that works!! Eucerin and Aveeno seem to be a little

better for hand lotion, at least for me. So many of them just soak into my

skin and within minutes I can't tell that I even put lotion on. It's a

never ending battle at times, especially in the cold weather when the heat

is on!

What was the name of the lotion that Dee told us about? I forgot to write

it down,,,,,,,

Good luck, hugs, Barb

[Guest guest]

Hi Babs,

I have the same problem,,,,blame it on running barefoot for all those

years!! lol Have you ever tried the Avon Creme for Cracked Heels?? I just

ran out of mine, but it did seem to help. My heels still have callouses,

but they aren't cracked anymore. After every shower I used it, and then put

socks on right away. It took a while to get used to wearing socks all the

time, but now it is automatic for me. The " barefoot girl " is gone,,,finally,

at 57 years old!! rofl (that is a lie,,,,absolutely no way I can roll on

the floor!!)

Hugs, Barb

-- Re: Re: dry skin

I have a terrible time with cracked heels.. I try to keep socks on and rub

them down with Lamsil to heal them. But they get right back cracked. They

can be painful at times. It is a continuing battle with them.

Hi Barb,

Maybe I should look for a fabric softener without any perfumes?

The name of the lotion that Dee mentioned is Aquaphor dry skin

ointment in a jar. I've tried Aveeno, that seemed pricey and didn't

help any more than a regular lotion, to me anyways.

Something Sharon mentioned struck home though, this is the first year

I have not used a humidifier, my husband was complaining a few months

ago it seemed to make him more stuffy, but he was having a lot of

sinus problems then. So I mentioned the humidifier, he doesn't recall

making that statement of course-but anyways, it's back up and

running, so I'm hoping to feel some effects from it soon.

I've been staying indoors because of the cold, I know people laugh

when they here me say Vegas is cold- you wouldn't think a place that

gets up to 110 degrees or more in the summer would get cold, but to

us , 40 degrees is cold. But it's supposed to warm up this week, and

i plan to look for that Aquaphor. If you see it soemwhere bedore I

get out and about, would you let me know where? Thanks-and take care

Jeannie

[Guest guest]

Hi Jeannie,

I'm sure you will tell the difference with the humidifier running! Those

are a great help with dry skin! I am going to WalMart today and will look

for Aquaphor while there,,,,,they usually have whatever I'm looking for, but

if not we have a Walgreens also, and they should have it for sure.

Take care, Barb

HI BABS,HI BARB,

Have either of you ever use homemade soap? It's really better for your

skin than what you get a store.I have a sister-in-law that makes soap

at her home. She gave me some shaving soap once that had olive oil in

it.I used it to bath with.It really did help my dry skin.

I have diabetes and have really dry

skin because of it.

She also makes a skin cream with the african shea butter in it. It

really does help my dry skin.

Now I'm not trying to promote my sister-in-laws soap.

I just wanted to tell you about another option for you to consider

There are tons of sites that sell homemade soap,and skin creams.

WELL,I'VE SAID ENOUGH SO I'LL SAY BYE FOR NOW. MAY YOU BOTH HAVE A

BETTER DAY TOMORROW THAN TODAY.

TAKE AS BEST CARE AS YOU CAN AND BE SAFE

Na-PCA spray is good, or if not concerned about petroleum products, use Corn Huskers lotion.

Does anyone have any ideas for dry skin while on this diet. I am using an aloe product and doesn't work well.

You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.

> Is anyone else experiencing really dry skin with this candida? It's

horrible, feels like my skin is ripping apart and my hands are like

sand paper. I put lots of coconut oil on my skin but is seems it's

not doing any good. Also Bee, I was reading about how having an

acidic system is not good for the adrenals and candida, as an acidic

system feeds candida, it's better to be alkaline. Is there anything

we can do or take to help our system be more alkaline as it may help

in getting rid of the candida. I read that beef, pork and chicken are

very acidic. The other day I had a few test strips and tried them and

mine is very acidic. What are your thoughts on that Bee?

+++Hi Maddy. The Acidity/Alkalinity (pH levels) Theory is totally

false - see these article and read the references given:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/acid1.php

+++I believe toxicity of the body is mistakened for acidity issues,

which is doesn't have anything to do with balancing pH in the body.

+++It is absolutely false that meats are acidic in the body - they

are only acidic when tested in a laboratory. See this article " Myth

& Truths About Beef " ;

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/meat2.php

+++Also meats are very important buffers (alkaline) as Dr.

Bookallil's studies found:

1) " The pH at any particular site [in the body] is that pH which is

optimal for enzyme action. "

2) " Why do all reasonable medical scientists expect and believe that

all or almost all stable human organisms will have a blood pH of a

particular value? "

3) " It is erroneous to assume that a deviation from the 'normal

range' is abnormal. "

4) " There is uncertainty in the questions: a) Whether changes in

temperature produce changes in pH? and Whether pH can be modified

by adding substances? "

5) " It appears to me that pH itself is a controlled variable [within

the body]. "

6) " The kidneys excrete most excess acids, thus restoring pH to

normal. If the pH is low the kidneys raise the blood pH towards

normal by excreting certain acids. "

7) " If there is an abnormality in the acid balance, i.e. acid is

added faster than it is removed. "

8) " Proteins are the most important buffers in the body. "

+++Therefore you cannot rely on any test strips for testing pH

levels, since the body regulates pH at different levels for different

areas as noted above.

+++Hi . Good fats are the most important when you have dry

skin - see this article by Dr. Tom Cowan:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/skin2.php

My program provides plenty of good fats along with oil soluble

vitamins A, D, & E, and Omega 3 (all of the fats work together with

other nutrients).

Dry skin is also caused by adrenal and thyroid malfunction due to

candida toxins (and other toxins), which causes all of the cell

membranes to become rigid/stiff. This interferes with the

functioning of all organs, and also means nutrients, hormones, and

even water aren't as able to get into stiff cells. See Candida

Causes Cell Membrane Defects:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/cabout1.php

Therefore the most important treatment is the diet plus all

supplements, and allowing enough time for the body to build up its

immune system so candida will " change back " into the friendly

organism it is supposed to be.

Is it ok to still apply the Shea Butter to my skin? This is rich in vitamins A,

D and F. Can these be absorbed through the skin to provide nutrients as well or

the approach to heal dry skin is internally (diet)? Will dry brushing also help?

+++Hi . Did you meant A, D and E? I doubt that product will

contain " true " A, D, and E. In any case you shouldn't count it as

part of your intake of those vitamins since they are too critical for

health.

The " true " source of vitamins A and D are fish liver oil, and omega 3

is also important (found in fish oil or fish liver oil). Also they

work together with the other good fats like butter and coconut oil,

as well as many other nutrients on this program.

+++It helps indirectly - see this article on it:

+++Hi Janelle. Dry skin isn't caused by ketosis for sure! Ketosis is when your

body is running on high good fats, and good fats are also needed by the cells in

order to be healthy, and they are necessary in order for water to be utilized by

the cells.

Dry skin is usually because of toxins coming out, which isn't a bad thing. Also

when you have candida, your body cannot concentrate on skin health when it has

many more important areas of the body to deal with, i.e. vital inner organs.

Hering's Law of Cure also states: " All cure (healing) starts from within out,

from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been

suppressed. "

I suggest you take baths with 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of Epsom salts,

and after your bath or a shower rub unrefined coconut oil into your skin, and

also at other times during the day.

All the best, Bee

[Guest guest]

Bee,

Good to know.

And I am aware of what ketosis is, and have read all the good {though some sites

say it isn't good} things about using fat instead of carbs for energy.

But I also read the symptoms that your body can go through, and I am

experiencing many of them, that's why I thought maybe it was the ketosis that

was making my body so sick.

See, last year my body slipped into ketosis without my knowing it. I was

pregnant and wasn't gaining enough weight, eating enough carbs, and I got sick.

So sick I ended up in the hosp.

I was feeling many of the things I started feeling a few days ago. They found my

urine full of keytones and put me on eating every 2 hours and upping my carbs. I

slowly began to feel better and soon enough was feeling back to normal.

I'm hoping my body isn't somehow damaged and can't handle being in ketosis? Are

you always in ketosis when eating such low carbs, or does your body get used to

burning fat and then you're out of ketosis?

Maybe all my symptoms are just the result of candida dying off, but I'm a little

fearful because of my experience last year and how similar my symptoms are now.

I'll admit it, I'm afraid of damaging my body beyond repair if it's one of the

few {I've read it can be dangerous for some folks} that can't handle it.

Any thoughts?

Janelle

Hi Janelle,

I'm sure Bee will chime in, but I wanted to say that it sounds like you were

retracing to me. If you had those symptoms last year and again now as you are

progressing on Bee's diet, it only makes sense. I retraced labour and child

birth a few months back, so I know how strange 'retracing' is, but if you

understand that that is what is happening in your body, you won't feel so

scared.

The reason you felt better when you increased your carbs at the hospital was

because you stopped the healing reactions from being on Bee's diet. When you

fed the candida again, they got happy and left you alone so you felt better.

You will always be in ketosis if you are following a high fat, low carb diet.

Ketosis means fat burning. So unless you are eating a lot of carbs and your

body is running on glucose, you will be in ketosis and the ketone bodies will

show up in your urine.

All the best,

Hi Janelle;

I'm sure Bee will answer your questions, but your post caught my eye because you

said the following:

> >

> > See, last year my body slipped into ketosis without my knowing it. I was

pregnant and wasn't gaining enough weight, eating enough carbs, and I got sick.

*** I'm wondering if, at the time you got sick, you were eating 80% fat and 20%

proteins (which I believe is the ratio Bee has posted if you are doing an " all

fat and protein with no carbs " diet) and I mention this because you probably got

sick, in part, because you weren't consuming the necessary amount of fat. So

your reaction then will not be the same as now since you are following Bee's

guidelines. (You certainly don't need to cut out all carbs, it just sounds like

that is what you did back when you were sick and pregnant and went into an

unhealthy version of ketosis).

Anyway, that's my two cents about how these two versions of ketosis-producing

diets differ greatly... and so you don't need to be afraid of getting sick like

you did then. You will experience the die-off and the switch-over symptoms but

you won't be entering ketosis in an unhealthy way that will harm you. In fact,

Bee explains that the body prefers to run on fats for fuel.

Hope that helps you,

Marissa

+++Hi Emma. Dry skin is caused by toxins coming out through the skin and also

because toxins make all of the body's cell membranes rigid/stiff (including

candida toxins because of die-off). Also our bodies aren't even able to utilize

water if we don't have all of the good fats, the right kinds and the recommended

amounts, including oil soluble supplements like omega 3, vitamins A, D & E. Of

course all nutrients work together.

But healing comes from within. In the meantime you can apply unrefined coconut

oil or extra virgin olive oil to your dry skin. At first they may make your

skin get a rash or become worse, but that is expected to occur at first.

It takes time and patience to heal your body naturally so stick closely to this

program.

All the best, Bee

I had very dry skin on my legs. I use to eat no butter at all (as part of dairy

free diet) and use a lot of olive oil. A few months ago I cut olive oil to

seasoning, using coconut oil for cooking (which by the way works so much better

for frying onions or potatoes, the taste and texture are unbelievable :-P ) and

butter on my rice cakes, and taking cod liver oil supplement. . The skin on my

legs became smooth and healthy. Lately I was in Africa for a month, mostly on a

rice, fish and fruit diet. I kept taking the cod liver oil supplement but I had

no access to butter or coconut oil. The skin on my legs has become really really

dry again. I'm just back, we'll see how I get on going back to my home cooking.

Have you tried Emu Oil?It works very well.From: alis2babaa <slevinalison@...>thyroid treatment Sent: Thu, June 2, 2011 2:37:45 PMSubject: Dry skin

Sheila i read the post about the eyebrows as mine are a bit thin but had seen what you had wrote about the dry skin, before i went onto erfa i was taking nutriwest t-lyph, when i was first diagnosed that was the worst symptom of mine as my face was so dry it was like weetabix, within 4 days of going onto t-lyph my skin cleared up and i was so pleased. I have now come off it as i dont want to take too many supplements as it can get costly for me and my skin has became a bit dry again not as bad but if it doesn't get better once i am on the correct dose i am going to take them again. I read in a book called Why Am I So Tired?: Is your thyroid making you ill? [Paperback]

, N.D., D.O. Budd that you can take Nutriwest t-lyph with thyroxine to get a fine tuning of the thyroid so maybe it can work good with NDT
