~This is a huge subject and it took me months to figure out what I needed to
do to help myself.
I noticed that aspartame in some of my medication was the worst offender so
everyone should watch out for it in things like chewing gum and diet
drinks,(there should be a law against it)
I bought a juicer and I juiced just about everything green that I could lay
my hands on including grass and dandelion leaves...mixed with pine apple it
tasted OK.
I made my own Kefir which is a kind of yoghurt drink you can make yourself
(Google on it)
I had Epsom Salts bath by buying huge sack of it from the Agriculture co.
then put two cupsfull into a hot bath and soaking...very sweaty - very
relaxing. Epsom Salts is magnesium and helps a lot. I also swam in the sea
when ever possible.

Stress is bad for rashes - but it is not fair to say to you "cut out
stress" because it is not that easy. However you can be very kind to yourself.
I found that when I was really itching all over and could not sleep one Valium
now and again to get some rest was probably a good thing as i awoke refreshed.

If the lesions get infected put iodine on them - but it is a stimulant so
don't do it at bed time.
Although i had sworn to keep of the steroids if possible there was a point
when I used the strongest possible cortisone cream just ONCE and it was
excellent for removing the heat form the rash and in fact it was a turning
point. After that I did the Natural therapies and the juices etc . I also
studied the Eat For Your Blood Type Diet (Get the book from Amazon) which at
first i thought was nonsense but as I got worse I decided to give it a go.
My Blood type 0 positive the book said was intolerant of all wheat products and
dairy = and gluten ...I felt so good when it began to work that I gladly gave
up the yummy toast dripping with butter etc.I am completely cured now and do not
have a single patch of rough skin ! In fact although I am 75 I get many
compliments on my smooth golden tanned skin. ... and I lead a "normal" life
eating most things in moderation.

Do a detoxs diet with 100% neutral ffods for 10 days, then figure out which
foods /dinks chems trigger your eczema.

Once you've IDd them, you will learn to cope.

Life gets much better.

For me it is corn products (as in soft drinks- cheap fruit drinks - chocolate
bars - ice cream - most US processed foods because of hi.fructose syrop, corn
starch and MSG/ Aspartame), eggs, soy, nitrates, sulfates in processed meats and
wines. Cigarette additives -

Clean up these things and eczema goes away. I'm not perfect with my diet, but
I know what to stay away from wh3en the eczema comes back up.

The time I did a ten day neutral diet ( lamb, peeled fruuits and veggies,
rice, oats, buckwheat, olive oil, clean water ) I went through the first five
days with it gradually getting worse and worse, but through day 5/6 it started
to clear, and before I broke fast on day ten or so, my head was cleaner than
ever before or again) and I had this feeling that I could read pages with a
photographic memory. WOW.

But I've never mustered the courage to undertake it again. Off of HOOCH and
Nic for almost 7 years, I'm a coffee and tea junkie.

Subject: [eczemapsoriasis] Eczema and probiotics?

I've read the glowing information about probiotics, but what's the best
way to include them in my diet? The pills seeem expensive, and there
are various ones in yogurt too. Do some work better for eczema than
others?

My background: I have patches of eczema on my arms and it's starting
behind my knees too. I had a dose of prednizone not long ago and am
looking into non-steroid help b/c the creams are not working as well as
they used to. I'm also still looking into what foods trigger outbreaks,
with little success.

From ya'll's experience, what works best? What might be the best plan
of attack for me?

Thanks, Christine in Maryland
