natural remedy for eczema?

[Guest guest]

Liz,

 

I'm sure you'll get lots of responses to your message. Here's mine.

 

In my experience, eczema is the outcome of a food allergy. I would say that 80%

of the cases are caused by allergies to grains, particularly wheat. It is also

increased by sugar use.

 

I know it's bloody hard to avoid these things, but I have been treating my

eczema effectively this way -- meaning I only have outbreaks when I go off my

diet. In my case, I have gotten to where I can usually eat grains if I keep it

down (way below the American average consumption) but if I have any significant

amount of sugar at the same time, I have an outbreak.

 

There are a number of doctors who can accurately diagnose this issue. They have

their own group -- it used to be called the Society for Clinical Ecology, I have

no idea what the present name is. But their methods are considerably more

accurate than your standard allergist. Even so, it's a lot cheaper to try

elimination of the potential food sources... but you have to read labels

carefully, you'd be amazed what they sneak wheat and sugar into.

 

That's my $0.02. I hope it helps.

 

Hugs,

Moss

Hello, my name is liz and I am brand new to this board. A little bit about

me...I am 25 and a massage therapy student. I graduate in august Yayy!! Anyways

I came here specificaly to see if I could find a natural cure for eczema. It's

been recuring since I was a kid generaly brought on by stress or harsh

chemicals. In massage I am constantly using lotion and germicide which seems to

be aggravating it. I'd like a way to control it or make it go away completely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
