Yes I would agree with all that have responded...there is something reacting in
her body...a chemical/toxin type reaction. Go to a local healthfood store and
do a detox or eliminate everything in her diet besides rice and veggies....for 2
full weeks...and nothing but water.

Then add things back for a few days to see if something reacts....there is a lot
of informaiton on the web about challenging foods...

It's all about the gut.

Subject: [eczemapsoriasis] Help my MOM!


HI
My Mom is a VERY active woman (70) who is starting to give in to the
horrible eczema that covers her body. I will describe it to you..it
looks like large circular raised red sores, with a scab on top,
covering arms, legs, feet, back, buttocks. She has had this for 8
years now, not knowing what brought it on, but it is getting worse.
They look horrible so she has to keep her arms and legs covered, even
in the hot weather, or people will be horrified to see it!
The sores are so itchy that she is constantly scratching them as she
says the only relief is when the scab is picked off. Her bed is
covered with blood each morning and she is unable to sleep due to the
severe itching. Right now, the bottoms of her feet are so sore that
she can barely walk.
Luckily.. until now.. the sores have not shown up on her face.
However, she has just informed me that she now has 3 on her face and
that if they cover her face she may not have the strength to go on..
This has me very worried. Her quality of life is being affected.
She has tried everything.. and spends hundreds of dollars a month on
cortizone creams, etc., done the UV exposure, pregnizone, natural
method, diet, and nothing seems to help.
Does this sound similar to anyone else's problems? I really want to
help her get some relief!!
If you have any advice or treatment (that is not a money grabbing
scam), or have something that sounds the same, I'll love to hear from
you. I really want to help my MOM.
Thanks
