Re: Please can anyone give help on eczema, I am so lost...
Hi, My daughter's story:
About 6 years ago our daughter who was 3 months at the time developed eczema. It got to the stage where the skin was thin and she bled in various areas - wrists, crease at elbow, leg creases, behind ears, face etc. Why? Well it started soon after she had her first jabs. Being caring parents we let her be vaccinated (MMR). We were at our wits end and the doctor gave us various 'tar' and steroid creams and when that did'nt help, an offer of putting her into hospital.
One day I came home from work and my wife was there rubbing steroid cream into her and it suddenly dawned on me - 'this is not working' and 'I think the treatment is feeding it' a gut instinct that my wife and I shared.
So, enough 'story', what we did after advice from a homeopath was:
STOP the creams, even though it was hard to watch the condition and do nothing.
Use wet-wraps to both cover and protect from scratching fingers and to alleviate the pain. (Wet-wraps are wet with water cotton wrapping applied over problem area, including cotton mittens as anti scratch device). The wraps also kept her moist and helped heal her skin.
Empty the house of carpets and lay hardboard over the floorboards, we kept lino floor coverings. Bought new curtains and bed clothes.
We had to give away our pet cat before the above.
After around 2 weeks we saw improvements in her eczema and after 2 months it was 99% gone. A year later gone 100%.
As to the cause of the eczema I do not know, but I have a strong opinion that the jabs at 3 months were the route. Poisoned at 3 months! Her immune system could not cope and it went into overdrive to compensate - hence the allergy to cat fur and the like. I forgot to say that she was allergic to raw egg until recently I noticed that she ate meringue OK (made with eggs). She is still allergic to animal hairs.
I read somewhere that as long ago as 1950s, it was known that tar based creams only suppress and do in fact feed the problem. This may be true for some people?
I am a recent member of this site but it occurs to me that it might be worth doing a
Liver Flush for my daughter. I say this because although she is rarely victim to usual coughs and colds etc, I sense a weakness from her. Two traits that I notice about her, one is that she occasionally gags on dryish food and two that she has slightly sandy feeling hands to the touch - anyone had this in a child / adult?
