Xanthelasma Image Gallery

I am trying the soya lecithin again for my lipid deposits. I thought it was affecting my temps before, but not sure if it was the lecithin now. I won't use the milk again though as it is not necessary.
Did you say 3 tablespoons a day. On the tin it say one teaspoon three times daily. Would that be enough?
Yes, one tablespoon 3 times daily.
I have the orange eyelid problem, name escapes me, and lumps under skin on arms.
You are probably talking about xanthelasmas around the eyes. Lumps under the skin and arms are most likely lipomas.
How long do you think it will take to dissolve these? I'm assuming it will help a fatty liver if i have one too.
I have no idea. Each individual is different. Different chemistry, different immune systems, different diets........ They all play a role in how people respond.
It is high in phosphorus? isn't that the one, that too much is not good for bones?
Yes, lecithin contains a lot of phosophorus, which is why it is recommended no more than 3 tablespoons daily. If you are getting a lot of phosphorus from additional sources (red meats, colas, dairy) then you can increase your intake of green leafy vegetables or seaweeds for the calcium to counter the excess phosphorus.
What are the brands, or ingredients, you use or would recommend?
Thank You!
Auromere is one of the better toothpastes I have found.
As for lotions I don't like these at all. Lotions use either waxes or polymers as thickening and binding agents. These just sit on the skin blocking absorption of beneficial compounds and blocking the pores. A lot of lotions also contain mineral oil, which is crap for the skin. And there is a lot of hype with some lotions such as the ones that claim to contain a vitamin C serum. Synthetic vitamin C is very unstable in the presence of water. There won't be any vitamin C left by the time the bottle gets to the end of the assembly line.
Better choices that lotions include the citric acid spritz I have mentioned a few times followed by either walnut oil or unrefined avocado or sunflower oil. All of these oils are very penetrating and you don't need much since a little goes a long way. These are best applied after bathing and toweling off while the skin is still moist.

That toothpaste sounds great. I will get some asap, (or maybe I can use yours
?)
I have ascorbic acid powder. Is that as good as citric acid for a body spray?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and citric acid crystals. Ascorbic acid is an organic acid found in citrus fruits and an antioxidant also known as vitamin C. Primates (including humans) and a few other species, such as the guinea pig, cannot synthesize vitamin C from glucose, resulting in the deficiency called scurvy. Ascorbic acid is a natural preservative. Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits. It is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to foods and soft drinks. In biochemistry, it is important as an intermediate compound in the citric acid cycle and therefore occurs in the metabolism of almost all living things. It also serves as an environmentally friendly cleaning agent and acts as an antioxidant.My friend uses baking soda to brush her teeth and never has any problems.
Thank YOU!
Ascorbic acid will work, but is going to be a lot more expensive and is very instable. I would go with citric or malic acids, which are only about $4 a pound. And a pound will go a long, long way. If there is a wine or beer making supply close by you can get these there. Citric acid is also available in Indian markets, and cooking supply or possibly craft stores in the candy making supply section.
I have always heard that baking soda is too abrasive and can damage the enamel. I guess using a soft bristle brush will help if using abrasive tooth cleaners.
What do you think of Emu Oil
Only tried it once about 15 years ago. I remember it gave a nice warm feeling, but I don't remember anything else about it.
or Jojoba Oil as moisturzers?
Jojoba oil is actually not an oil but rather a liquid wax. It is very similar in structure to our natural sebum, but I have never cared for it. I find that it sits on the skin too much for my liking. I don't like the feel of waxes or polymers on my skin, so I tend to use things that are penetrating like the oils I mentioned.
I like fresh aloe vera too... It is a good moisturizer if you are careful not to get the bright yellow coating that is under the skin of the aloe. The clear gel is great.
That yellow layer is the anthraquinone rich laxative portion of the aloe.
Aloe vera is good for the hair as well... (applied to wet hair - when the hair is dry you can't tell it has been used except for the shine and manage-abilty)
Malt beer is also good for the hair. It is actually the malt itself that does the job. I found malt powder recently at the Chinese market, but I have not tried it for the hair yet.
I don't know. I have heard that about the glycerine, but I have never seen any evidence to back the claim. And I have never heard that about SLS. Although being that they do not stay on the teeth I doubt the claims.
It depends a lot on the toxin. Some can be slow to present problems, and some fast. Some are readily dealt with and others are not. Some are produced as a byproduct of our own bodies, and others we ingest or are otherwise exposed to . And what is toxic can also be beneficial. For example water and oxygen are both essential for life, but they can also be toxic to the body. So it is not an easy thing to answer.
Our bodies also have various means by which to detox. The liver plays a primary role in detoxification as does the excretory system. The flora help to break down some toxic substances. Certain foods can help bind heavy metals, can help build the flora, and can help with the elimination of toxins. Breathing helps increase oxygen levels that can help oxidize certain toxins.
So the best thing you can do is to eat well, avoid stimulants, keep your stress down, avoid any pharmaceuticals that are not absolutely necessary, and cleanse your liver with bitters at least once in while if not regularly. Deep breathing exercises also help, and don't forget plenty of mineralized water.

Sally, yea I hear ya. I only had basically ONE major issue prior to menopause and that was being overweight. Since menopause it seems everything is spiraling downhill!!!
By orange discoloration on the eyelid, I do have something similar sometimes although I'm not sure if it's the same thing or not. I took a pix once when I got it. Does it look like this?
I have always wondered what this is!!
wow! so it is a hypo symptom. I wasn't sure. Mine isn't as dark but exactly in the same place, but more of a light orangey colour.
I wonder what actually causes it. A deficiency caused by the hypo? I have short eyebrows too which i know is a common hypo symptom.
I suspected it was to do with the hypo. It is a bit of a relief to know i'm not the only one with it.
The condition you are referring to is called Xanthelasma palpebra, and are lipid deposits in the skin. It can occur with several conditions including hypothyroidism and liver disorders.
