It seems like the easiest way to find out if it's a food intolerance is to go on a juicing diet for a week using only fruits and vegetables, which don't seem to cause as many intolerances as other foods.

One of the posters used algae for protein, which didn't cause problems like other proteins.

I never exfoliated, bitten, sucked, or licked my lips. I got EC from either the food I ate (caused inflammation), the overgrowth of yeast which celiac disease often causes, or sluggish liver. A sluggish liver works harder to clear toxins from food that is toxic to you.

I think most people with EC have stopped these bad habits (if they ever had them) to give their lips a chance to heal, but their lips have not healed. So, it has to be something more.

palacima,

the only way you can make a claim that your EC has nothing to do with diet, is if you go on 10 days water fast, and you report no improvement on your lips.

And even if you do, the claim will only be about you, one single person on this forum, and it will be nothing about other people.



So, how many days have you been water fasting?

I have been fasting on water for 10 days, so I KNOW what I am talking about.

So, what do you really know from your personal experience?

Until you try Water Fasting experiment, you should better shout up and leave this forum!



If a condition EC was caused by repeatedly exfoliating, biting, sucking, and/or licking, it would have been cured within 7-10 days of leaving lips alone.

That is what happens with the rest of the skin, if it is exposed to constant exfoliating, biting, sucking, and/or licking.


So far, I remember just reading about 2 people reporting complete cure or significant improvement by leving lips alone and not making any other major changes in their diet and/or lifestyle.


I believe at least 200 people on this forum must have tried lieving it alone for at least 7-10 days, as that is the easiest of all procedures, and most report trying it.


If leave alone and do nothing was the cure, this page:

would have been covered by similar stories.

It is even hard to find a few.

And even those few may have been doing something else, like healther diet, less stress, healthier lifestyle, etc.




Instead, people who cured EC are either those who improved their food tolerance by improving the condition of their intestines and their liver, or people who eliminated from their diet or environment things they have problems tolerating, like changing diet or getting rid of a cat.



Use logic!


Buy the way, what are you doing on this forum, if your condition is caused by biting, and if nothing else helps?


Are you here to take away hope from those who do have some hope left?




Are you here to help people, or are you here to troll those who are realy helping?



longterm has posted a huge number of educational and helpful messages.




Read your own messages here:

//www.curezone.org/forums/s2.asp?f=762&ob=d&m=palacima&p=1

and make conclusion on how many people you helped?



Instead of supporting people in searching for the cause and the cure, all you do is bitching about it having nothing to do with diet.






Everything about our health has a lot to do with our diet and our lifestyle and EC is not exception to that rule.

Yes, 1-5% of people may cure it by eliminating som other allergens not related to diet, but what about 95% - 99% of people?



Making generalized statements about diet not helping EC is ridiculous.

Everyone has a different diet.


Everyone has a different food tolerance.


If one person was not helped, it says nothing about someone else.



Diet a person tried may have been wrong.


May stil be containing one or a few foods that person should not have been consuming.
