seven month old baby w/exczema... really bad

[Guest guest]

I was at a friends house this past weekend,and was disgusted at see the

grandbaby seven month old Eric had socks on his feet that went up past

his knees to reach his thighs and socks on his hands and they went up

past his elbows. I asked why he had them on they said because he

scratches his face real bad. being a mother of four children I thought

well it can't be that bad as I sat there and slowly pulled down the

socks which were sticking to his skin as the sock came off. his arms

and legs were covered with exczema.severely. My question is. Is there

any herbal practice that can help with that first? it seems like the

young mother was just covering it up and not letting it heal with the

air. anybody have any suggestions? they took him to doctors but the

doctors seem to just keep saying the same thing over and over. just

apply this cream.

thank you sincerely ME

This baby is allergic to something he is ingesting. My guess is that it is

soy milk. I have seen this in many of my clients, especially as a red rash on

the face or sometimes on the inner legs. When I suggest that the mom please

switch from soy formula, the little ones rashes go away.

If he is nursing, then check the mom's diet and see what she is ingesting

that might be causing the problem.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

 

Two things I would ask...

 

Have the tried a Naturopathic Doctor?

 

And, is the child drinking cow's milk formula? Perhaps a soya

alternative needs to be sought out.

[Guest guest]

When did it start? Is the Mom breastfeeding? If she

is, then there can be something in her diet, something

in babe's diet, laundry detergent, soap, lotion,

environmental (pesticide, etc.).

 

If Mom is not breastfeeding and dairy-based formula is

used, then it's probably due to a dairy protein

allergy, although it can still be laundry detergent

and the others I mentioned.

 

All the creams in the world will not uncover the root

of the problem, they will only mask it. There is

something called Wet Wrap Therapy

http://ezinearticles.com/?Wet-Wrap-Therapy-for-Eczema-Treatment & id=345074

 

that just may help him while she figures out what's

causing the problem.

Our baby broke out in moderate to severe eczema last November. We had

changed nothing in out diets. I had him tested last week for food

allergies - all came back negative.

 

In the last three months I systematically started removing all

cleaners that contained surfactants and petroleum based detergents and

soaps. Which, was basically every cleaner - laundry soap, dish soap,

automatic dish detergent, all commercial shampoos and conditioners -

pretty much anything I bought at WalMart or grocery stores.

 

We started suspecting the quality of his digestion. We eliminated all

processed foods and white sugar, white flour and vegetable oils that

are all made from GMO ingredients. I started soaking our grains and

looking for free range eggs - the kind that had lots of nutrients. We

also started our baby on probiotic, cod liver oil then high vitamin

butter oil.

 

We use a cream called Florasone, available at the health food store

and also at various online stores.

 

Any creams or topical solutions will help the symptoms, but to relieve

the underlying cause you need to look at digestion and probably have

the child tested for allergies then remove the foods he is allergic to

for awhile. If the tests come back negative it is probably a

combination of poor digestion and chemicals in the home - which are

everywhere; on the dishes, in clothing, in hair, etc.

 

Soy milk is a poor choice for infants and humans and should be avoided.

Keep in mind though that the only true test for an

allergen is an elimination/addition diet. There can

be both false negatives and false positives on the

traditional allergy tests.

Samantha:

 

I'm not sure which health group I got this information from, but those

that I have told about it have success. It's cinnamon and honey. If

anyone in this group knows the email I'm referring to, please resend

it...for exczema the ratio is 1:1. So mix up say 3 tablespoons of

honey to 3 tablespoons of cinnamon, make a paste. Apply the paste to

the rash and leave on for as long as it will stay on. Maybe wrap the

area up in cotton gauze to keep it in place since we're talking about

a baby. Keep applying the paste as needed or until the rash goes away.

 

 

Honey and cinnamon in different ratios and ingredients help alleviate

or gets rid of symptoms, etc. quite well. Neither ingredient will

harm your baby and from what I've been told it really does help.

Hi Samantha:

 

Here's the email I was telling you about on the cinnamon and honey.

 

Karen

 

Now,this is something I can swallow!!

 

Cinnamon & Honey

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on

honey and cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon

cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of

the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a " Ram Ban " (very

effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used

without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

 

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the

right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.

Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, on its issue dated 17

January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases

that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western

scientists:

 

HEART DISEASES:

Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of

jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the

cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack.

Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process

daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of

the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart

beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated

patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and

veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon

revitalize the arteries and veins.

 

ARTHRITIS:

Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot

water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon

powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a

recent research conducted at the Copenhagen

University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients

with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon

powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200

people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of

pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk

or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

 

BLADDER INFECTIONS:

Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a

glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the

bladder.

 

TOOTHACHE:

Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of

honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three times

a day until the tooth stops aching.

 

CHOLESTEROL:

Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed

in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient were found

to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within

two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times

a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information

received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily

relieves complaints of cholesterol. (By the way. if you're taking

cholesterol medicine STOP! They all contain STATIN which weaken your

muscles...including YOUR HEARTand none has been shown to stop heart

attacks or strokes!!!!

 

COLDS:

Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon

lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days.

This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

 

UPSET STOMACH:

Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears

stomach ulcers from the root.

 

GAS:

According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that

if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

 

IMMUNE SYSTEM:

Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system

and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have

found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts.

Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight

bacteria and viral diseases.

 

INDIGESTION:

Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before

food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

 

INFLUENZA:

A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural

Ingredient which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from

flu.

 

LONGEVITY:

Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests

the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of

cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea.

Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and

soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increases and even a 100

year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

 

PIMPLES:

Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste.

Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next

morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes

pimples from the root.

 

SKIN INFECTIONS:

Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected

parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

 

WEIGHT LOSS:

Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty

stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder

boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight

of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly

does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the

person may eat a high calorie diet.

 

CANCER:

Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced

cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully.

Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one

tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month

three times a day.

 

FATIGUE:

Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more

helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body.

Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts,

are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says

that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and

sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the

afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts to

decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

 

BAD BREATH:

People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one

teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their

breath stays fresh throughout the day.

 

HEARING LOSS:

Daily morning and night honey and

cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restore hearing. Remember when

we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on

it!
