Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hi All! I just found this group in a mad search over the internet to find information that may be of assistance to me...actually to a family member. I am looking for an herbal treatment (or any natural treatment!!) for chronic dermatitis. My mom is from the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific, she is in the States and has been for 30-ish years now however most of her family still resides there. My aunt was just visiting us on her first trip out of Fiji and spoke of various illnesses that run rampant on the islands. I have a cousin in particular that I have never met although we are the same age..we are told that he has terrible chronic dermatitis of some sort that leaves him hiding in the dark in total agony from the itching. I am certain that there are plants/fruits/herbs on land and sea there that can help him as medical treatment is basically unavailable to him. Any and all information anyone can share would be GREATLY appreciated. I know they have Aloe Vera as well as loads of other fruits and plants found in the tropics. Thanks for in advance for any help!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Dear Tammy, Check the files for the Jojoba 9% Tea Tree Oil formula. This should help dramatically. He should also be taking a serious look at his nutrition. Also, does he have any kidney problems. Sometimes skin problems are directly related to the Kidneys as your body can use the skin as a back-up elimination organ if the Kidneys or bowels are not funtioning correctly. Have you ever met a person who just stank 2 minutes after he took a shower??? If you have, you were looking at a Kidney/Bowel problem patient. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2001 Report Share Posted November 22, 2001 A lot of dermatitis is a spinoff symptom of liver or kidney stress. This means dietary changes. In the Fiji islands, there are two markedly different ethnic groups -- the native Melanesians, and the Indians. I'm not all that familiar with Melanesian history, but have some acquaintance with Indian ideal dietary profiles. There could be some problems arising from people of one group falling into eating foods that come from the other. This certainly deserves some investigation. So, which group is your family from? There also may be some geobiological situations in those islands, which would be part of traditional Melanesian folklore. This could be further related to invasion of the islands by foreign plants over the past two centuries, which might trigger some allergies in natives. So i'd love to know more about the profile of new plants there, along with information on ancient sacred sites which may have recently been built over. These things could be more important than we might think at first glance. I have access to a lot of atlases, so feel free to mention some specific locations.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Thank you Dr. Ian. I will look up the files asap. I'm sure nutrition may play a role of some sort although I'm not sure about any kidney problems. IF it were kidney problems, they would probably never know about it due to the lack of proper medical care in the villages. My 44 yr. old Aunt just got her very first pair of prescripton eye glasses when she came to the states and we took her in for an exam...we also purchased her very first pair of tennis shoes that were 'her' size. According to my mom, the dermatitis (if that's what it is) has run in the family for years and years there-some of them just get it worse than others. I'll try to find out more symptoms (if there are any!) and report back! Thank you!!! Tammy herbal remedies, " Ian Shillington N.D.

If so maybe there is something in the environment that is causing it and your family is only more allergic to it than most people.-- Yes, they are all in the same village. We were also thinking it could be some sort of allergic reaction to something in the village- wether it be what they are eating or drinking or anything else.
