Off Topic: A Cure for Eczema and Psoriasis?
Caroline has suffered from both severe eczema and psoriasis for the last several years, mainly affecting her scalp. We took her to the dermatologist several times and got prescription creams, gels, shampoos but nothing would solve the problem. If she missed one application of anything, the inflammation would come right back in a day. A few weeks ago, I introduced a Hair/Skin and Nails supplement, thinking it might help her acne. Well, it hasn't had any effect on her acne, but her eczema and psoriasis have disappeared completely! This supplement, found at most drugstores, contains high levels of B vitamins as well as Biotin and other things not found in a daily vitamin. Whatever it is, one or more of the ingredients has had the dramatic effect of healing her skin. Just passing this along to anyone who might be interested.
Megan,
ReplyDeleteThank God I just vented in the Jete store about my daughter's SPD!!! Your advice was great and I'm thrilled to read your blog. I have a daughter with sever eczema and I make (from scratch) soap and creams for her. Nothing the doctors ever gave us helped, but she is now free of eczema. I want to give you the gift of some soap and cream so I'll drop them by to you. Blessings, Summer
Thanks Summer! I am glad you spoke up, and I hope that you will find others through my blog who can be an encouragement to you as well! I would love to try the soap and creams you have made. Isn't it amazing how sometimes the simpler remedies are better than the docs? Not always, but sometimes for sure.
ReplyDeleteFor acne my nephew and another friend too have had great success with Pro-Active! Seems like you can get it everywhere these days and will be my program of choice when Em starts having those issues.
ReplyDeleteMiss you!
