Please help me help my 3 year old son!!!

[Guest guest]

Help!

 

My family just returned from Florida on Sunday. While we were

there my 3 year old son woke up in the morning screaming and crying

saying his hand itched while he was repeatedly scratching his hand.

When I looked at his hand he had a horrible red rash all over it

along with between his fingers and his hand was a little puffy as

well. He also had a little of this on the bottom of his left hand.

It got better throughout the day so I thought it was a fluke. This

was last Wednesday by the way. Since then the rash has not gone

away and is always the worst write when he wakes in the morning. He

has also woken up at 3 in the morning three times so far screaming

and crying about his itching hand. My pediatrician said he thinks

it's a virus. THe dermatologist said it's not a virus it's eczema

or an allergic reaction to something on the beach or in the

seaweed. I asked him why then does it get so much worse in the

morning or after sleep and naps. He couldn't give an answer for

this. I am wondering if he picked up a parasite or scabies from the

beach or something. I have made an appointment for him for a 3rd

opinion on Monday but until then I don't know what to do. To

describe his hand a little bit better, his hand is completely red

with little bumps that are slightly raised all over the palm of his

hand and between his fingers a bit. There also seems to be a 3

milimeter patch on his chest and foot. My son has never had eczema

or dry skin so I don't think it's that. I am thinking about

ordering this natural scabies cure on line in case it's that but

does anyone have any other ideas because I am completely frustrated!

 

Thanks a Bunch!

Sheryl,

Go to doctoryourself.com and look under natural healing skin (or

something like that I was just there reading that) and look around

at all that can be done. I think Vit E-D-alpha-tocpherol is what he

used on himself and his children. I never use anything on my skin

unless I can eat it. He must have picked up something on the beach

or from the water. I live in California and one of our beaches was

shut down fron nasty stuff, of course this was after hundreds of

people swam in the water for 4 full months!! Yuck!!

I wish you the best and dont panic his body is trying to GET RID OF

IT!! That's why his skin is reacting like that.

Take care Melinda

Thanks Melinda,

 

I will check out that site now. I might also mention that my son

is on the autism spectrum although extremely high, high

functioning. He has never had eczema before although had grand mal

seizures for the first and last time after his 4 month vaccines,

which we completely stopped altogether after that. Anyway, I'll

check it out. I also ordered some all natural remedy for skin

parasites, including scabies. Thanks Again@

Do you know about oxalate sensitivity? Oxalates in diet negatively

impact some people far more than others. Among those most impacted

with high oxalatre diet are people with Autism, those with Asperger's

Syndrome (like me), and those with a leaky gut.

 

Going on a low oxalate diet and taking various supplements really

helped me. I used to get painful leg cramps when I ate spinach.

In summer I got skin rashes. Both rashes and cramping were worst late

at night while I was sleeping.

 

You might want to check out the Trying Low Oxalates e-list on .

The list is very high traffic, with over 1,000 members -- so if you

join, you may want to specify no-mail option and view the posts in

your browser.

Try ozonated olive oil. It works great for all kinds of skin

problems. I recently made a batch and can send you a jar if you want.

Email me if you want some. Steve <><

Hello Sheryl,

In the mean time you can try an oatmeal soak. The commercial brand

would be Aveeno. or another is Domeboro soak, it's not oatmeal, but

does seem to do the trick for general skin irritations. poor kid. my

thought was maybe scabies also, it kind of comes and goes, but you

might also notice it spreading. by any chance does it look like

ringworm? Especially the patches on the trunk. Itches are sometimes

hightened by heat, so while sleeping or after bathing more itching

would occur. Good luck

Thank You!

 

Unfortunately, he is allergic to oats so that won't work. I have

been giving him tea tree oil baths each night.

What are Oxalates? And want purpose do they serve? Are they synthetic

chemicals made in a Lab?

[Guest guest]

Oxalates are in plants. Some plants (like spinach) have lots of

oxalates. Other plants (like iceberg lettuce) have very low

oxalates. Oxalates seem to prevent animals from over-grazing th

high oxalate plants because the animals get sick. In humans, very

high oxalate diet can cause renal stones, leg cramps, imbed in organ

tissues, and make pre-existing problems (like an old muscle injury)

very much worse.

Some people find relief from oxalate problems in the skin by taking

long tub soaks with a cup of epsom salts in the bathwater. Don't

rinse. Just pat dry with a towel. I like to sometimes use epsom

salts and sometimes use oatmeal.

Here is a website PDF with a run-down of high, medium, and ,low

oxalate foods. Some are crap foods I would never use, so some

discretion is required.

Sheryl..

 

I cannot say it is the same thing, but I sure did pick up something similar

several months ago. Have no idea what it is or where it came from. The

itching is intense and reminiscence of the morgelions syndrome, but there

are no fibers. I thought it might be some sort of fungus... It is easing

up some, finally, but I still have bouts of itching. The redness and bumps

are probably from scratching - and if like mine, the bumps will not just go

away.. I was no where near the ocean and am on the opposite coast....

 

One thing that has helped to temporarily sooth mine and minimize the itch

(and I have tried many topical things) is to gently rub in jojoba oil and

the contents of a vitamin E capsule after a warm bath. You might try that

at night and again in the morning.

on the little guy.

 

I have seen recent write ups about red tides and some sort of sea algae

creating severe skin conditions in fishermen - there might be a connection

there - I'll see if I can find some information on that....

 

Also please read this page

http://www.doctoryourself.com/vitaminc2.html

- if it were my youngster I would not hesitate to do this - based on my own

personal experience with vitamin C!! In fact I intend to do this myself

inorder to get rid of this problem once and for all and should have done it

months ago...It may help with his other health problems as well!!!

Sheryl,

 

Eczema can also be caused by wheat, dairy or soy , try cutting those

out of his diet and see if that helps. I have a son on the ASD

spectrum and eating any wheat causes him eczema immediately, dairy

causes aggression , and soy causes a rash. If he continues to eat

wheat he has seizures, he is that sensitive to it.I do agree with

alobar about the Lw Oxalate diet, there is a list for parents with

kids with autism who are trying the low oxalate diet it's called

tryinglowoxalatediet. It's a list, the owner Susan owens is a

world renowned autism reseacher, she's very knowledgeable about many

of the biomedical problems these kids face.

book The Miracle of MSM. I take 4 grams a day for my allergies, recommend up

to 8 grams a day for asthmatics. DOES help! Adjust dosage by weight.

 

3. My husband has psoriasis, and while your son does not, psoriasis and

excema are often mentioned together when treatments are discussed. The best

diets

for psoriasis/excema, in my experience, are Alkaline-Over-Acidic diets. One

can be found in the book Healing Psoriasis Naturally by Dr. Pagano; another

book is the Acid Alkaline Diet, available through www.realityzone.com

 

Hope these help

My son is on the gf/cf diet although I'm sure he had some

infractions in Florida as it was very difficult to feed him being at

Disney for 3 days and not being near a Whole Foods. I am familar

wit Susan Owens. We were actually in Florida to see Dr. Bradstreet

but unfortunately this problem started after seeing him. He didn't

have any treatments there so it wasn't anything from the

appointment. I will look more into the low oxalate diet although

the thought of one more diet makes me sick to my stomach. It seems

like foods are the devil for these kids. I am so frustrated. It

has been a week and a half with no problem and my good sleeper is

now waking up every night screaming and crying from the itching-my

poor baby. I can't wait to resolve this problem. Thanks for all

the tips from everybody! Keep them coming!

Thanks Midgie,

 

WE have vitamin C in the buffered form and I am going to give him

some right now. I am trying whatever a mother can to help her son.

Thanks and I hope your rash gets better too.
