Well, the program I'm on does sort of a slower more mild detox of the system than a cleanse. But no, I have not done the any of the major cleanses. Sounds to me like the program you are on has many similarities to the recomendations you will find in Dr. Youngs book. I'd be happy to talk to you about it when you get it and go through any questions you might have. Also, if you decide to try the supliments he suggests, come back and talk to me, and I can get you set up with your own system for getting them whole sale. Talk to you later, Mike

Hi Livey and sister,
Well I'll tell you what I did. I got lucky, and happened accross a book that at least for me seems to have hit the nail on the head for what was causing my eczema. There were actually two books, but they are both very similar and by the same author, Dr. Robert O. Young, micro-biologist and nutritionist.

The first one I read was called "the pH miracle." And it really changed the way I look at health, but I was left wanting a better scientific background for what he was saying. So I found that he had written another book, more recently called
"sick and tired? Reclaim your inner terrain."

So I read that one too, and I liked it a lot better because the section giving the historical and scientific background was much more comprehensive. I also think it has a better overall organization of the information. What he explained (very breif paraphrasing, so maybe not entirely accurate) is that one of the dominant, if not the dominate cause for eczema, along with a number of other skin irritation problems, is when through diet, life style, drugs, or whatever means the pH balance of your body becomes too acidic to the point where your body cannot correct for it through it's primary means. What happens then is your body begins to pass the acids off to all your organs in an attempt to get it out of the blood, and hopefully out of the body. Your skin is just another organ, but as the acid is passing through and out of the body it can irritate, dry out, and crack open the skin. Then you're open to other infections, and irritations because the structural integrity of the skin is compromised.

For years I looked at my dry skin and thought, ok I need to put some good mosturizer on that, and it will go away. The thing that is deceptive about that is that for mild enough cases it can be true, but it will usually flare back up again after not too long, or as soon as you stop putting the mosturizer on. The Doctors of course always recomended things like hydrocortizone or some other steroid based immune supressant cream. After reading Dr. Youngs book, I ordered a months worth of two of the supliments he recomended for helping to get your body's pH back in balance, supergreens (concentrated powder of grasses and leaves high in nutrients and minerals) and prime pH (an oxidizing agent consisting of a 5% solution of sodium chlorite NaClO2, to be diluted in water to about a 0.01% solution, checked up on it, very safe). I started doing as they suggest adding the supergreens and prime pH to water and drining it each day.

The first day I had some cleansing symptoms, basically a dull headache that lasted about 6 hours. The same day I started on the supliments I decided to stop putting on mosturizer to so I could see just what the greens where helping with. when I started my hands were really bad, cracked open, bleeding, and infected. I couldn't keep it under control even with mosturizer 12-15 times a day really heavy. But after four days with the greens the cracks in my hands had healed over (they were still very dry of course), after about two weeks much of the skin was nearly normal. I started to lightly put mosturizer on just after showers, and continue with the green drink, and now, one month later, my hands are almost completely normal.

Now I tend to be a paranoid kind of guy, so I'm reserving my judgement of calling this a perminant cure until I've seen no more outbreaks for at least a year. But I can certainly say that it seemed to turn this one around faster than I had been able to in any other way before. After seeing this, and several other benifits very clearly (more energy, better sleep and more rest in less time, faster recovery from exercise, less pain in exercise, lost 15 lbs and now settled at my ideal weight of 212... email if you want details on these)

I decided to make sure that I didn't have to rely on anyone else to get these products, and to find a way to get them at the cheapest price. I discovered that if I signed up with the company as a distributer then I could get them for me, my family, and friend at whole sale. I'm also willing to help anyone else get set up to get the same deal. I just hope that what I've found can help other people who have fought with similar issues for so long. If you want any other details, or have any other questions, or want to talk in private about how to get started, or what other things I've found you can do beyond the supliments, or with or without them, feel free to email me.

To get started shifting your pH back to more alkaline levels, one thing you can do is drink more water, and add all the juice you can squeeze out of a fresh lemon to the last glass you drink before going to bed. Talk to you soon, best of health, and God bless, Mike
Post Script: sorry this is so long :-/

Eczema color therapy treatment

Hello again,

Clearing your body of the harmful toxins that have accumulated over time is a very positive step in your direction towards healing. The flushes should be of great benefit. I wish you much success!

Hello,

I completely understand your frustration and it is the reason I joined the excema message boards in the first place. We have experienced healing in my nieces (who suffered with the excema as infants) for 4 years now. It wasn't until I had an episode of a poison ivy breakout, that I remembered the suffering experienced by excema sufferers. Because we have experienced healing for so long, I had forgotten the pain and decided that it was my duty to tell others about the healing that we found.

Eucerin was what the doctor prescribed for my nieces excema breakout and it just irritated the skin more. We stopped using the Eucerin and used the Burt's Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion ALONE as a moisturizer. It is not a heavy cream; therefore it is providing the moisture that the skin craves without clogging the pores. The skin is able to absorb the moisture, retain the moisture and still breathe; as opposed to heavy creams that sit on the skin, clog the pores, and disrupt the oxygen flow. Your baby's skin needs moisture and the natural lotion is safe to apply as often as needed; however not in conjunction with the Eucerin. We totally eliminated that lotion from the moisturizing regime and the healing began immediately. My niece was covered with excema and in 2 weeks there was not even a trace (no scarring) of excema on her skin.

Feel free to post me another message if this didn't answer your questions sufficiently. It is the suffering of babies that prompted me to join the excema message boards in the first place. I sincerely want to help direct your family on a quick, immediate road towards healing. In two weeks my second niece's severe excema breakout was completely healed. She is now 2 years old, still excema free, and we still use the lotion as a daily moisturizer for her skin. If you've noticed from the beginning of this message to you, I mentioned that we have experienced 4 years of healing from excema. My oldest niece is 4 years old and we first saw the evidence of the effectiveness of the Burt's Bees lotion on her skin. However, despite that healing, when my second niece was born to my brother and his wife, they reverted back to doctor prescribed medications and the second niece suffered the most severe excema breakout. Like your husband, they were skeptical of the lotion (even though they witnessed the healing) because a doctor didn't prescribe it. After the horror that my niece went through, they don't question us anymore and are now the biggest advocates of the lotion to other suffering children they encounter.

The only way that you would have unsuccessful results with the lotion is if your child is allergic to ingredients in the lotion. I hope that this is not the case for you; but should it be, I will look for and research another non-steroid lotion as an alternative.

There is more to the successful treatment of excema than just the moisturizer and I am glad to hear that your child likes water. Your child is actually craving what her skin is thirsting and water is a major player in the road towards her healing. Our nieces craved vegetables (also integral in the healing process), because their mother is not a big vegetable eater and their bodies were lacking the nourishment that the vegetables provide. My nieces already understand the importance of vegetables and water to their diet and are constantly complimented on their beautiful skin. The awesome part about this whole healing process is that you are going to witness that your daughter doesn't have bad skin, it's just that something bad has happened to her skin. Her healing is definitely going to come from your persistence and your fight. I have total faith in your abilities as a compassionate parent.
