[Guest guest]

I have this itchy fungus on my back, torso and arms- I understand it is a type

of jock itch or fungus growth- I have been on the calicum bentonite clay for 4

weeks and it has not even put a dent in it- I eat mostly organic- yes, I love

sweets, but try not to indulge- I use stevia in my tea or coffee- and most baked

goods. I am not over weight and am strong as a horse(so I am told).I saw an

article that sodium barcobinate is good for this? please tell me how to use it,

as I am willing to do just about anything to relieve the itching- I live in

florida and am on a tight budget, so I deal with the heat quite often, I know

this does not help matters, but can't run the air as cool as I would like to.

So, any help is appreciated! I have tried pau'd arco, garlic, and probiotics-

they seem to help, but then it comes back, even in the winter I battle it!

help!!!!

HI;

 

I feel for you. I struggle with eczema. I have been told to bath in cold to luke warm water and stay away from hot water. I gave up my hot tub for that reason. I also know that vitamin E is good for skin conditions.

 

That's all I have to offer.

You might consider doing a series of liver flushes, and also make sure your

bowels are moving regularly.

 

Rashes and other outbreaks on the skin are often an indication that the body's

main pathways of elimination are congested, stagnated or perhaps even obstructed

in some way. If certain internal organs, particularly the liver or colon, are

not flowing and functioning at peak efficiency, the body will often try to find

another way to get rid of its daily load of toxins and wastes, and may attempt

to push them out through the skin. This can cause things like rashes, acne,

boils, eczema or psoriasis to erupt.

 

Besides taking hydrated clay internally, (which is very beneficial) you can also

put powdered clay into a bath and soak in it. Taking clay baths is an excellent

way to support the body's eliminatory functions while also begin very soothing

and healing to the skin.

Thousands of patients - both adults and children - are enjoying healthy skin, free of irritations caused by foods to which they showed intolerance. Traditional medicine recognises food allergy if the result is an immediate skin rash. However when the reaction is delayed, as it often is (by up to five days!) in food intolerance, traditional doctors tend to ignore the possibility of food sensitivity as a cause of the skin problems. This is true despite success stories and many research studies by respected medical professionals. http://searchwarp.com/swa257988.htm

The occurence of eczema has often been linked with environmental triggers - food in particular. Lynette Lamb, of Food Fitness, was a sufferer of severe atopic eczema for 30 years. She has now controlled the condition successfully with food management for over 11 years.http://www.bubhub.com.au/newsletterfeb0602.php

Introduction to Eczema

Eczema is a descriptive term that refers to itchy, red, thickening and scaling skin eruptions. Dermatology texts will list a number of conditions under the term eczema and the classification can be confusing. Itching is the dominant symptom and can be severe.

Atopic dermatitis is the prototype of food allergic skin disease. This type of eczema often appears on the face as patches of reddish, scaling skin. As eczema worsens, the skin becomes itchier, red, thickened, grooved, and may blister, weep, and crack. The typical distribution of eczema is on the face, behind the ears, on the front of the elbows, the back of the knees, the hands, neck, and trunk. Food allergy probably accounts for much eczema; the rest is external allergy-irritants, infection, and injury to the skin through vigorous itching. House dust mite allergy is an important external cause of eczema. Infection with staphylococci is a common cause of sudden worsening of eczema.

Eczema can become a severe disease that involves generalized symptoms of food allergy and symptoms from complicating infections. Atherton summarized food allergic skin disease in 1984 putting urticaria and eczema at the top of his list. Eczema has always been included with hay fever and asthma as an atopic disease. Atherton emphasized the distinction between immediate and delayed food reactions and recommended a trail of an low-allergy diet; a simple set of foods that have low allergy risk. This approach is taken in the Alpha Nutrition Program.

Eczema begins in infancy and is common in toddlers. The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis and occurs in people of all ages with an allergic disposition. Some people have a life-long tendency to develop eczema and tend to have periods of skin activity lasting months to years, interspersed with normal periods. Eczema sometimes merges with other skin conditions - hives are common and occasionally psoriasis and eczema will overlap. Diaper rash is commonly associated in infants. We find it helpful to think in terms of the origin of the problem and classify eczema in a simple way; the skin condition is either allergic (immune -mediated) or something else is going on. If allergic, the triggers are either food or surface contact materials or both.

If the skin is reacting in an allergic manner, you ask; where is the trigger - on the surface or in the food supply? Your speculations should lead you to a solution by eliminating the cause. Sure, there are treatments, but none of the treatments are satisfactory and all are short-term. Removing the cause has to be your best bet, even if the task seems difficult.

Solution - Diet Revision and Alpha ENF

Villaveces and Heiner reported remission of symptoms in six patients with severe atopic dermatitis by replacing food with an elemental nutrient formula for at least a week and then reintroducing foods to determine reactivity. Ratner et al reported similar success in 16 children and 14 adults with moderate to severe eczema. Sixty percent achieved significant remission after 3-12 days on an elemental nutrient formula. They noted that half the food challenge reactions were immediate and the other half delayed

As I served up a meal of fried lamb, steamed carrots, peas and broccoli the other night I had to chuckle as my 3 year old daughter exclaimed “yum broccoli, thanks Mum”. It’s not what you think, she is no poster child for veggie eating. She is instead a child who exists on a modified diet. Seeing a bit of broccoli on her plate was not a disaster in her mind, it was a tremendous treat because she is only allowed to eat very few fruits and vegetables.It all started with her younger sister, baby number two who woke regularly 8-9 times a night, hysterical and often inconsolable. Each morning I would find her skin red and often bleeding in her cot, having scratched herself like a madwoman through the night. Early on I took my poor little mite to see my GP who diagnosed eczema and prescribed Cortisone cream which I applied religiously. I changed the washing powder I used, the soap I bathed her in, the lotions and creams I moisturized her skin with or used to treat nappy rash. Despite all the effort lots of areas on her skin were regularly red raw, inflamed and itchy, no matter what I did. The problem soon got so bad I had to sew up the sleeves on her clothing and sleeping bags and had to watch her like a hawk throughout the day to stop her hurting herself. Several trips back to the GP produced the same diagnosis and prescription. The baby’s older sister had suffered with red itchy skin for sometime too but nothing like this. Cortizone cream prescribed for her too did little to help her either, but it was all I had.Finally as I was plumbing the depths of despair a friend mentioned that her cousin had three kids with similar problems. She said the cause of their red skin and eczema had turned out to be food. Skeptical but desperate I made an appointment with an allergy clinic.By the time my appointment came around both my children were in a bad way. My then 2½ yr old had developed large red itchy patches behind her knees and on many other areas of her body and was often in pain with it. The baby continued to scratch herself at any opportunity because her skin was so itchy and cried constantly with the discomfort.At the allergy clinic both girls were tested for food allergies. The older one came back with a no allergy result, whilst the baby showed evidence of a milk allergy. The clinic explained that it was very common for food to aggravate eczema and other conditions including behavior amongst the children they see. They suspected a food intolerance may very well be at the bottom of the severe eczema the baby had and also the cause of her self mutilation habits and sleep problems. Her older sister was also suspected to have a food intolerance.It turns out that a food intolerance (a non allergic reaction to a food) is very common. To find out if my kids had a food intolerance the allergy clinic recommended a food challenge. This entailed going on a limited diet of low allergy foods for a short time to see if the eczema calmed down. That meant I had to go on the diet too (as my baby was then 7 months and fully breastfed and getting what I ate through the breast milk) along with my older daughter. For what seemed like an eternity (and was actually only 3 weeks or so) we ate bland foods such as, preservative-free bread, pasta and rice with bland vegetables like cabbage and choko with no herbs, oils or sauces to flavour them. It was tough to say the least but what happened next was life-changing for us all.Two weeks after cutting out everything coloured, flavoured, processed and with high natural chemical content, the baby’s skin began to calm and her sleeping started to improve. Her sisters skin, that had shown constant irritation and caused her a great deal of pain was clear of eczema and normal for the first time in months. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I kept a food diary of everything that went in our mouths and the result of this if any on their skin and general disposition.Back at the clinic, after pawing over the food diary in intricate detail, the diagnosis by the professionals was that it looked like both girls had an intolerance to salicylates. Yes, I know what you are going to say next “what are salicylates? I had no idea either. Salicylates are natural chemicals that occur in most fruit and vegetables and are not harmful at all to the general population. Some people can tolerate large amounts in their diets, my daughters unfortunately can’t tolerate much. They eat fruit and vegetables in small quantities unless they are bland tasting ones like potato and cabbage.You may think, if you have read this far that it sounds like a nightmare to modify your whole diet. Well, truth is it is not easy but the life of my entire family has changed for the better just by altering what we eat and the trouble has been entirely worth it. My kids are now happy, healthy, almost eczema free and sleeping through the night. I am a much nicer person to be around too, not the crabby, snappy, frustrated, tired wreck I used to be.There is lots to know. Apparently kids with food intolerances often grow out of them in time and the good news is that a food intolerance is not as life-threatening as an allergy can be. It’s also good to know that changing diet can alter behaviour, skin problems, headaches, bloating and lots of other problems in children. That in itself is empowering for parents and good news because none of us like having to give kids medicine if we don’t have to. When you think of it like that, changing food is no big deal really. I recommend for those wanting to know more that you talk to your GP about your concerns. Most allergy clinics need a referral from you doctor first before you can see them. You might also like to read the book by dietician Sue Dengate “Fed Up with Food” and the “Failsafe Cookbook” or to visit her website http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/ where you can find lots of information.In the meantime it’s “no veggies please” for my two, that is of course unless they are on my special list!http://www.shophouse.com.au/2008/10/kids-eating-vegetables-allergies-eczema.html

You can try these things...

 

Take 1% Magnascent iodine internally starting at one drop per morning on

empty stomach, followed by 1/4 tsp MSM about 15 minutes later. Work up to 10

drops in the morning then start working up to 10 drops 3 times a day on

empty stomach, followed by MSM, then once a week take 1/4 teaspoon of DMSO.

This will build up iodine in your tissues then pulse it into places it

wasn't getting.

 

You can try painting the afflicted areas with Magnascent but that may cause

quite an itch. Tea Tree Oil will kill surface fungus but you want to do

that when you're not going to be around people. You might follow it up with

a bit of external DMSO but be careful with trying to do too much of that at

one time. TTO has terpenes in it and you don't want to slather it all over

the place followed by a full slathering of DMSO because you could get sick

from all the TTO being carried into your system. I would do that in small

sections at a time.

 

We have just begun to use clay internally and externally. Already we can see

very obviously that it is very good for the skin.

 

You have to get skin fungus from both sides of the skin or you have to use

DMSO to carry whatever agent deeper into the skin. Otherwise you only kill

the surface manifestation and it comes back.

 

I had horrible jock itch for years and years but have *cured* it by using

these methods. However, it is a human condition and you never totally cure

it. You can knock it down 99.9% but eventually you will get some of it back.

 

 

I used to spend gobs of money on this problem. So far this year I've had to

dab TTO on a little itchy spot only twice.
