Hi Newho17,
welcome to this lip community!

What methods have you tried other than topical treatments and "leave alone method"? So far, it appears, very few people have gotten any positive results out of the pure "leave alone method" or pure topical treatments.


It appears, based on messages posted online, that thousands of people with EC have tried pure "leave alone method" and pure topical treatments and have miserably failed to achieve any cure or any significant long term improvement. Thousands have wasted their time and their health.


Here is a rather short list of things I would have tried if in your shoes:



- water only fasting followed by Elimination-Rotation Diet (including elimination of not only all foods and all medications, but also elimination of all cosmetics, all toothpastes, all laundry detergents, all common home chemicals like cleaning liquids, dishwashing detergents, shampoos, soaps, mouth washes, carpets, furniture washes and furniture treatments etc... )

In other words, you wash all your clothes and bedsheets with clean water or with clean water and borax before you start the fast. That way you are not affected by airborne laundry detergents during the fasting phase.


- Liver Flushing (series of at least 10 - 50 Liver Flushes ) to significantly improve liver health

- research the FMT and see if that is something for you

- research the Blood Type Diet and stay away from foods not friendly to your blood type


- do some allergy testing if possible
- intolerance testing

- research the candida cures:

- research the coffee enema
- research the yogurt enema
- research the nystatin enema




You know, health is a way, it is not one thing fits all. It is a constant search. You have to find your own way. Health is a moving target.


Nobody can really tell you with any high certainty : "If you do this, you will get cured."


Those who say so, often have no much experience in healing, other than maybe personal experience which they use as a starting point.

You will have to find your own unique way, and it often include change in diet and lifestyle, at least that is what cured those other people with EC .


But, by learning about experiences of other people, you will be bridging the huge gap that exists between complete ignorance often represented by countless topical treatments , and serious knowledge often represented by understanding the health of your liver, intestines, diets, allergies, chemicals, etc.


Most lasting EC cures were somehow related to elimination, intolerance, allergy or lifestyle and diet change.
Elimination of gluten , Sugar , alcohol , smoking , SLS , junk foods , cow milk , food additives , food preservatives , nuts , airborne things like dog/cat dander ... seems to be very high up on the list of those "cured" or those who are in control of their lips and skin symptoms .


Good luck!
