Re: Part two of my message - reply to ur questions

Hello Elton,

It has taken me too long to get back to you. I apologize.

Before I get into demonstrating how the wisdom in healing the body of eczema is applied, I need to answer the additional questions you posted. Regarding the multivitamin, I do recommend taking a good multivitamin supplement (only 1 pill per day) to replenish any vitamin/mineral deficiencies. I don't like the idea of people taking so many pills; therefore I prefer that you would focus on getting the nourishment you need from the actual whole foods and water consumption.

There is a lot of dispute regarding the daily recommended dosage of vitamin C for U.S. standards (mainly too low a dosage 100-200 mg.). 2500 mg per day is a good standard daily dosage. Should you want to increase your dosage, I would focus on consumption of vitamin C with food choices; as opposed to more pill consumption.

Regarding bathing in the sea, eczema sufferers have reported that their skin showed improvement after coming into contact with the salty sea water. For an alternative which can be implemented at home, you can try bathing in Epsom Salt or bath salts. It may be unchartered territory for you (mostly used by women); however you may want to consider visiting a spa to inquire about their bath products. If you've been having trouble finding natural skin care (cleansing/bathing/moisturizing) products, this may be the place to look.

For someone who has had to leave their job due to illness, you don't sound defeated at all. I love your planned attack for improving your health; yet, your water consumption still needs work (smile). Having to leave your job due to illness can make a person feel extremely defeated; however, your decision to leave your job to focus on your good health is a good investment: both personally and financially. Therefore, consider this investment in your good health as an investment towards a successful future.

As promised, I want to demonstrate, to you, how the 3 step wisdom is applied regarding healing the skin of eczema.

Focus points: Internal (immune health), External (skin care/rehydration), & Foreign (identification & removal of the allergen/irritants).

Elton Case Study:

FOREIGN (IDENTIFICATION OF ALLERGEN/IRRITANTS)
- Pet dander, dust mites, and other airborne allergens
- harsh soaps/detergents/household cleansers
- perfumes
- Toxic chemicals in water

FOREIGN (REMOVAL OF ALLERGEN/IRRITANTS)
- Not having an allergic reaction upon your initial and previous years of cat ownership doesn't mean that you can't be developing an allergic reaction to the cats in your environment today. In actuality; it is the pet dander (dead skin shed by the animals) that would bring about an allergic reaction. A digression in your immune health would explain why you would now show a vulnerability to the toxic dead skin that is shed; as opposed to no allergic reaction earlier on. Also, cats in particular, have a protein in their saliva that is known to cause allergic eczema reactions in humans. There are animal shampoos on the market specifically formulated for pet dander and mites. Keeping your filters changed on your heating units, vacuuming regularly, and the purchase of an air purifier system are several of the ways available for ridding the air in the home of the airborne allergens (like pet dander, dust mites, molds, bacteria, & mildews).
- Using natural products (free of harsh perfumes, dyes, & other toxic ingredients) aide in remedying the effects of drying soaps & detergents. Bi-O-Kleen is a company that produces a whole line of natural household cleansers (free of the toxins that cause the havoc to the immune system).
- Probably one of the biggest instigating factors are the toxic chemicals in the water supply. To remedy this, there are shower filters and whole house water filters that you can purchase.

EXTERNAL (SKIN CARE/REHYDRATION)
Since perfumes are an issue for you, I suggest the fragrance free Moisturizing Bath/Shower gel, the Borage Skin Therapy lotion and the Everyday shampoo and conditioner by Shikai. Because you've mentioned that you can't access these particular products in Hong Kong, I suggest adding vitamin E oil to your bath water (which you should be able to purchase at your local health store). Also, the company (Flora) that I mentioned regarding your implementation of the medicinal teas, has two options for skin care that you may want to consider. They are the Calendula Cream with Flax Oil and the Aloe/Comfrey Cream.

INTERNAL (IMMUNE HEALTH)
- Water, water, water. You need to drink more water. Bottled waters may help you to acquire a thirst for more water consumption.
- Refer to the food list on the wholehealthmd.com website for the foods that provide the nourishment needed for eczema sufferers. Again, those nutrients needed are beta carotene, zinc, quercetin, essential fatty acids, vitamin C, & vitamin E.
- Stay away from junk foods, foods high in saturated fats & processed sugars, and soft drinks/alcoholic beverages.
- Implement a detox/cleanse. I recommend the Flor Essence cellular regenerator & detoxifier by the Flora company I've mentioned earlier. (I've emailed you their address).
- To aide in the healing process, opt for the Flora Medicinal Teas. In particular, the Hautex (skin cleansing) tea, the Diulaxa (blood cleansing) tea, and the Nerval Tonic (stress/anxiety relieving) tea. The latter is to provide you a good night sleep against those itchy nights. These are all natural products.

This is an example of how the wisdom regarding healing the body of eczema is applied. The six points that you made are basically you applying the wisdom naturally. I'm pleased with your plan. I especially think that it is good that you get out in the morning with nature (this is my favorite thing to do). Also, thanks for clearing up the asthma issue. I misread the post.

It has been my pleasure to help you in any way I can and I thank you for taking the time to share your information. I'm sure that you will come to find that this investment in 'you' has been the best investment you've ever made.
