skin problems


Question Posted Wednesday August 9 2006, 3:53 pm

I've had severe excema for 17 years, seen lots of western and alternative doctors, with no results. IGe levels are 14000+ (normal is 0-158). Does anyone know a really good health practioner with success with severe skin problems? Most things I eat, breathe, drink cause problems (organic food etc doesn't help much). Associated asthma. I've stumped some of the best. Any feedback on the Allergy Associates of Lacrosse, WI? This has ruined my life, and I am seeking help to find health. Thanks a lot.

Eczema tends to run in families who have a history of allergies and asthma. It can be triggered by the immune system over-reacting to something in food or in our environment.

There is no cure HOWEVER there are three things that can treat it. You just need to find what works for your body.

1) People with eczema dont process fatty acids from food normally. Suppliments can (after around 3 months) have a dramatic effect. Evening Primrose Oil, Starflower oil and Blackcurrent seed oil are available at health food shops and dont taste so bad either!

2) Herbs are traditionally used to treat eczema and have done for centuries. Liquorice root, Burdock root, Chamomile and Calendula and lastly Witch hazel are some of the most affective.

3) Skin calming fatty acids are in oily fish however if you are veggie then pumpkin seeds also contain this. Not to mention hemp, walnut oil and flakseed oil. Pumpkin seeds are good in soups and salads!


Hope I helped you, good luck! x
