I agree.  I'll pray for her, I was covered with eczema (80%) for some time, and
suffered miserably.  In fact my own 10 yr old son lovingly called me dinosaur
due to my scales.  This is what has worked for me: prayer, loving my over worked
over taxed skin by eliminating suspected toxins(allergist tested): wheat, milk,
soy, beef, processed foods, sodas and chocolate.  It was very hard.  But my
limited choices are worth the smooth skin, I eat: brown rice, all veggies,
potatoes, plantains and sweet potatoes (seasoned with garlic, salt and extra
virgin olive oil), no onions or corn.  Water and organic juices, fish, turkey
and chicken only.  Acidophilis supplements, apple cider vinegar baths (half
water half vinegar-stinks, stings, works), flax, olive oil and exercise. 
Honestly I am not as strict with all areas, but I was in the beginning so now my
body is healthy enough to fight back.  Eliminate is hard, but it works.  Start
with the apple cider
(with mother) careful full strength can burn.  On a wash rag or splash it on
she'll be in itch free bliss.  Smile.  At night before bed.

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.

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
