Eczema-treaments Tips #2

How to deal with Eczema?

Eczema is an allergic reaction that people are genetically predisposed to. Allergies cause inflammation, which can happen anywhere in the body . If you have allergic inflammation in your lungs, you have asthma. if you have it on your skin you have eczema.

To treat adult eczema, We prescribe a cleanse and diet changes. If you do the cleanse and not the diet, it takes longer for the eczema to clear up; if you do the diet without the cleanse, it takes forever. Cleansing the liver involves taking supplements, such as artichoke or dandelion, and cleansing the bowel is done by taking magnesium oxide. Then our patients go on an elimination diet: no dairy, sugar, corn, chocolate, gluten, strawberries or eggs. After four to six weeks , the patient is allowed to reintroduce the foods back into her diet, one at a time, a week apart, so we can tell that she she's reactiong to. the patine can use soothing coconut oil or vitamin E on their skin. but that's not a treatment; it's just a band-aid. Eczema comes from inside the body so we treat it from the inside.

After the cleanse, the patient can use digestive enzymes and a probiotic called acidophilus, which repopulate their gut with friendly bacteria. And we recommend that they take fish oils, which contain anti-inflammatory omega-3s.

The diet isnt's easy , but most patients who follow it will see their eczema clear up, without medication, in four to six weeks (it takes that longer for the skin recover).
