Re: Aquaphor

Hi daniel, I'll try and reply to you as clearly as possible to try and avoid miscommunication.

I check this site from time to time. To see if I can help anyone, whenever I am not super busy. I did say my last post was going to be my final post, but after reading what you just wrote about me, I have to say I was rather annoyed. More like I wanted to punch a wall for reading something so ignorant.

You are annoyed? Perhaps this is because you don't explain yourself well enough. If enough people have had trouble understanding your instruction then perhaps you are the problem and not them. I'm not sure where ignorance comes into it.

Before you talk about someone, please DO SOME RESEARCH before writing. What you are talking about is YEARS old information from my site. You clearly didn't go on it recently, meaning within the last 2 years, and if you did you obviously didn't read ANYTHING at all.

I've watched mostly all of your videos which is difficult because you ramble about irrelevant things a lot of the time. A brief summation (5 minute video) would have been so much more useful than some of the saga-like videos you post up. Sometimes the more you talk the less you say.

I made one cured video explaining everything. And then in October of last year I made a 2 year update video nit picking every single little thing I did EXACTLY to become healed. Just for people like you who keep trying countless different things. Obviously I tried tons of different things in the beginning because I had no idea what to do. But by the end I figured out exactly what I needed to do, and clearly you weren't around to see, because here I am 100% healed, NO WHITE "GUNK", no buildup, no peeling. Aquaphor was my savior, and it says EXACTLY why in the first post of this thread.

If you are making claims you need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you are correct in what you say, otherwise it is hearsay and conjecture and causes more confusion amongst desperate people looking for answers. I'm not strong willed enough to trawl through all your videos again where you mention the white gunk, but I'm almost certain it's one of your last few videos. If I'm wrong about that one thing then fine. It's not that relevant.

It's seriously so frustrating when you literally go through HOURS and HOURS of work to help people and here they are still crying because I had no idea what I was doing. If you can't do proper research then you honestly have no help of ever getting rid of this condition.

It's very brave and noble of you to make a blog of your progress from the start to the finish and I admire you for that. I wouldn't have had the courage to do that, in fact I've struggled to leave the house many times over the years because of how bad my EC can get. It's important that when questioned you don't take offence, because it's not intended to be personal. If you are claiming something cured you, it will need to stand up to scrutiny.

I wrote in BIG BOLD text on my site that leaving your lips alone DOES NOT WORK. I even took a screenshot of it for you here: http://danielcmiller.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-10-1.png

I'm not of the opinion that leaving them alone will work. I don't believe I said that anywhere ?

Since you clearly haven't watched my newest video, I invite you to watch it. And hopefully you can stop writing negative things about how carelessly I tried to become cured, and how I have no idea what I did.

These are your words not mine. You are taking personal offence to something not intended to be personal. To parrot what I already said, you don't make it easy for people to understand you. You are not clear a lot of the time, this is why you are getting frustrated. To give you an example of why I think this see below :

The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH7crA0q11s

 Here are all the co-factors you mention in bullet point form from that video, not in order of appearance:

1) re-applying aquaphor constantly
2) being in the sun
3) not eating junk/processed foods
4)  eat organic, non processed, non-GMO
5) gluten free now
6) be positive/happy
7) exercise
8) lips feel dry when not using lip balm
9) used steroid cream for several months, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off (2-3 months) - thought it was a big help

Answer me this, how can you draw the conclusion that aquaphor healed your lips when there are all these other co-factors ? ... please respond to this question ...

I also talked a lot about my diet throughout my cure attempt and definitely mentioned it in this final video as well. I did change my diet yes. I quit eating tons of junk food, and I started eating healtier food. I also said I don't think it's a major factor in healing, but that it did play some role. You could probably eat Mc Donalds everyday if you truly wanted to and still become cured using my method.

For me your dietary changes are a vital piece of the puzzle which you seem to want to overlook for some reason. You don't think eating healthier foods were a factor in your healing, I do. I'm trying to find the true causality in this and I think your dietary changes played the biggest role in healing your peeling lips not aquahor. I think aquaphor worked for you the same as the steroid cream or any other ointment would have, it merely masked the problem and for a time. I think aquaphor happened to be the cream you were using at the time when your lips stopped peeling from dietary changes, making you think it was the cream itself that did the work.

To say that a person could probably eat mcdonalds everyday if they wanted but still become cured using your method (constantly re-applying aquaphor), I think is misleading to people and irresponsible because it's untrue. It's especially interesting that your dietary changes coincided with your healing, gluten intolerance/sensitivity has become more talked about in recent years. Processed foods contain a higher percentage of free radicals, harmful pesticides, flavourings and preservatives, some people have sensitivites to food flavourings that could result in an episode of peeling or sore lips/gums, there are many anecdotal reports of such a thing on the internet. The debate is still on-going as to whether GMO product is actually fit for human consumption at all. You switched to organic, as per your video, but given no regard to this as important, why? I'd be interested to know if you eat dairy products still? and whether or not you were eating them prior to your EC being healed?

I also never once gave the impression that leaving them alone was the cure to this. I said leaving them alone WHILE applying constant moisture (Aquaphor) was the key to solving this issue. That doesn't mean you'll be cured in a month, so people who try this and give up after a short term obviously won't be healed. it took me almost an ENTIRE YEAR. Of never once peeling my lips. Ever.

I'm not of the opinion that leaving them alone will cure them.

On the subject of aquaphor again, what exactly will this cream that consists of mineral oil, ceresin and lanolin alchol do for your lips that coconut oil won't? My gut instinct tells me to avoid these weird and unpronouncable chemicals as best I can because the best tool we have at healing our ailments is our own body. If anything must be used it should be food grade, if you can't eat it why would you put it on your skin? There are thousands of lip balms, ointment and creams with very similar properties to aquaphor on the market. 

Enjoy the video. And please do some research before you talk bad about someone next time, because you just might not know what you're actually talking about.

I empathise with you having gone through this and the impact it's had on your life, and I'm genuinely happy you have overcome it, some of us are not so lucky. I've tried many approaches, aquaphor being just one, for me it was useless. I am positive though that I will find the solution to this. I'm not convinced the lips should need such a long time to heal, as even if the lips were damaged from physical injury (constant picking/biting) common sense would tell me that the body would want to heal such an injury as quickly as possible what with all the bacteria found in the mouth - the potential for infection. I believe from an evolutionary standpoint the body would not have left such a backdoor, so what you say about weeks/months of healing makes no sense. Where else would a superficial scab/wound need months to heal? It wouldn't.

Will my method heal everyone? Who knows. But it's healed me, and I've gotten countless emails since I made my newest video about how it's stopped peoples build up considerably, and can live half way normal lives while they are waiting for their lips to completely heal.

Applying this gunk may prevent the build up for as long as you use it, but it may even stop the lips from healing up. Basic understanding of biology would say that if the lips are peeling and trying to crust/scab/heal over, they are doing so for a reason. The emphasis for me is on why this is occuring. The skin of the lips and that of the digestive tract are interlinked. My peeling begins with a slight red/inflammation on the inner lip followed by dryness/peeling/flaking. It is either something coming into contact with the lips or something I am ingesting, and I believe this is true for most here, just that most haven't figured out what yet. I intend to find out.

To summarise I think you are a good person and your heart is in the right place, but you should stop making claims about aquaphor you cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt. All it serves is the company that makes this product, it does not deserve any praise or attention as there is no proof that it cured your peeling lips.

Have a great day,

I will

Thanks.

You're welcome
