--answer --Alkaline skin mantle--sunshine --
Hi 76803,
Your questions: I have a 2 year old with eczema, and the alkalizing drink and alkalizing diet is helping tremendously. I recently read that sunshine is alkalizing and have been taking him out for at least 30 minutes each day, but your post mentioned otherwise (or that it depends on the pH of the skin.) His skin is extremely acidic. I found this out because he would scream every time I apply H2O2 to help with his itch, while it does nothing to my skin. I have used this method for a week and his skin is getting a little dry. I read your post for AnnaG regarding dry skin and am wondering whether I should change my method of helping his itch and how. We also started the foot and body baths. So 3 questions:
1. Should I continue the half hour sunshine routine, considering that his skin is acidic?
2. What solution should I use for his itch? (Tried 1:1 and 5:1 water and AVC solution, didn't help.)
3. You mentioned elsewhere that nuts and seeds are difficult to digest (especially for children.) Is almond drink and nut butter any different?
Answer: First about the sunshine: It may be Acid forming or may we say is Acidic in Nature, "but" if the skin mantle has enough Alkaline Minerals in it's Lymphatic Fluids, then the Acidic action of the sunshine may Cause a Reaction against these Alkaline Minerals to Cause the Electro-magnetic Energy to be Released from these Alkaline Minerals, thus Causing an "END" Alkaline condition to then Exist in the skin and body !
But, if the body and skin Lacks in needed Alkaline Minerals, then the sunshine may Cause the condition to become more Acidic and thus Cause sun Burning of the skin !
But, sunshine is very Important, thus even if a person is short of needed Alkaline Minerals to begin with, it may be Best if they would spend shorter times in the sunshine at a time to help their body get a little Release of needed Alkaline Mineral Electro-magnetic Energy and work up to longer time periods as they are able to get more needed Alkaline Minerals !
And you may try using a mix of Take 1 quart of 3% Peroxide and mix it with 1 gallon of water, that has 1 teaspoon of Good Apple Cider Vinegar and 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salt mixed in this gallon of water and use this for the sponge bath or a bath soak to help bring back his skin into the Health it needs to be in ! And if this does not stop the itching for him , then you may increase the amount of AVC in the mix first and see if it helps some ?
I would suggest to do the sponge baths first with these ratios to see his reaction and if it stings him too much then add more ACV, because you would not want to bath him in a solution which would cause him great discomfort and by adding more ACV, if his skin is Acidic, this may prevent the mix from reacting against the Acids as much in his skin and Causing as much stinging ?
Almond drink and nut butter are from nuts, are they not ?
All Nuts and Nut Butters etc "CANNOT" be properly Digested by children below approx 7 years old and may Cause problems for them ?
As usual not everything may be as it may first seem to be !
Smile Tis your choice.
