I gave her lysine and the rashes seemed to clear up. Her hands and feet dried up and peeled off in big layers.
Then in December she had itchy red patches behind knees and in elbow bends. Soon it was all over, face, trunk, legs, ankles, feet. She was dx with eczema.
We have ruled out food allergies, asthma, don't use scented products or dyes. No fluoride etc. Her ensiniophils are high. She tested positive for h. Pylori but is asymptomatic. Test shows she has a non-classified parasite.
We have gone to a naturopath who gave us creams, but no internal treatment.
I read about mezereum and gave her 5 3x a day and it cleared by the next day. However, I continued with that dosage and within a couple of days it came back with a vengeance.
I am desperate to help her. She has an appointment next week at UC Davis. I would much rather treat her naturally. But need some help.
Thank you, Debbie
Coconut oil is a good choice for both topical applications and to take internally to treat eczema. You can use coconut milk if your child refuses to eat regular coconut oil. If applied topically it's important to test out an area first, in some cases it can aggravate the condition.
*Using coconut oil is more of a way to treat the symptoms as they arise and to reduce recurrences.
Many people with eczema have been helped by following whats called the GAPS diet. The primary idea behind it is to restore the gut flora and intestinal lining integrity by eating things like sauerkraut (with bacteria, not the canned vinegar stuff) and kefir. This diet generally takes several weeks to work, but it seems to prevent future breakouts. The diet also highlights use of omega 3 fats. Krill oil is best source for this if you can get it. The astaxanthin in the krill keeps the omega 3 from going rancid, and it has a much better shelf life. It will last as long as olive oil before it's considered to have gone "bad."
I've personally given just sauerkraut to one of my patients and his seborrheic dermatitis (a form of eczema) cleared up in about 3-4 weeks and hasn't come back in 6 months.
And please continue to go see the doctor if only to rule out other conditions such as impetigo.

Personally I think that your daughter has more than just an H pylori problem -- their must certainly be more pathogens and other reasons involved. There is also an unidentified virus that has caused fever and other problems.
When I had systemic candida 5 years ago, I had many skin problems as well -- including eczma, tinea cruris, athlete's foot as well as psoriasis. In the Merck Medical Manual. Which is used as a reference for doctor training, they openly state that you cannot ever get rid of psoriasis. They also state that psoriasis is a pre-cancerous condition. But I think that they are completely wrong in their poor assessment of psoriasis.
After I cured myself naturally of my own candida -- all my skin conditions -- incuding the psoriasis -- just disappeared and not one of my skin conditions, including the psoriasis, has ever returned -- nearly 6 years later. So the medical research is completely wrong on two counts. First, psoriasis is curable(I'm living proof) and, secondly, psoriasis is not a pre-cancerous condition -- candida is the the real pre-cancerous villain here.
Candida and H pylori are well known co-exist as well as to associate with other bacterial and viral pathogens because they both have a great ability to drag the immune system down to allow other pathogens to become established in the body. This is why doctors are having such a difficult time diagnosing or treating your daughter's problems.
It would also probably also help you if you had a hair analysis done on your daughter's hair. This will tell you exactly what what is lacking in her diet and will also reveal any excess heavy metals, halogens or other poisons in her body that might also be associated with and/or contributing to her problems. It might also be useful to have a urine test for excess halogens like fluorine or bromine in the blood.
My own view is that some viruses are very good at hiding in the body. Usually they hide in areas such as the fluids in the backbone and in the lower regions of the intestines, which makes them even harder to locate and kill. Internal use of Humic acid as well as oral Bentonite(food grade) will gently help to remove toxins, heavy metals and help to kill pathogens in the intestines. The use of other natural broadband pathogen killers that can kill bacteria, viruses and fungus such as tumeric, coconut oil and nascent iodine should also be considered. The use of sodium bicarbonate, Magnesium Chloride(or Sulphate as Epsom Salts), Sea Salt, Borax and Hydrogen peroxide in baths will also help to kill any pathogens topically. You should investigate all this on EC.

The easiest remedy is to use magnesium supplements or, easier still, just rub magnesium oil over the backbone area(this may sting a little) or simply add two cups of magnesium sulphate(Epsom salt) or magnesium chloride to her bathwater when you bathe your daughter and the magnesium will be quickly absorbed transdermally.
Personally, I would not believe the doctors when they say that your daughter does not have candida. Here is a recent post post by a man who was told exacty the same thing by his doctor and yet he is convinced(and rightly so) that he has candida. Doctors are very bad at recognizing the many signs of candida. If you daughter has a white furry tongue, low energy and any digestive problems then these can all be signs of candida. Also, if your daughter does have candida and you do not cure it, then it will be very difficult to treat and cure all the other problems that are also associated with your daughter's condition.
So the best thing to do -- to absolutely confirm whether candida is part of your daughter's problem or not -- is to go to a naturopath and have a hair mineral analysis done. Also ask the naturopath to check whether your daughter definitely has candida or not. Naturopaths are far more sympathetic, aware and capable of recognizing the dangers of candida on health than doctors.
Debbie
We have decided to treat her eczema as if it were a virus and IT IS CLEARING UP! We are giving her L-Lysine and Silver (internally and a gel topically).
I am not sure if there is something else I should give her or what may work better. But so far we like what we are seeing.
She does take vitamin D and probiotics daily.
In her baths we add H202 or ACV (which soothes the itch).
Again, Thanks. Debbie

At age two he had a febrile seizure and was diagnosed with pnemonia and from that point on he started to loss miles stones gradually. He was talking and walking now he was walking with assistance and losing his words.
By the age of four he was crawling and not talking. He also was having abnormal movements of his body. He was diagnosed with seizures and put on medication but still having the movements only when he got excited or tried to use his muscles. He was taken off seizure medication two years later. Doctors were still baffled and thought is was the sepsis until his younger brother started having symptoms of the same thing. Now they figure it was genetic. So now all the testing started with all coming back normal but only thing found was the MRI showed lesions in the part of the brain called the Basil Ganglia but still nothing specific that they could diagnose. It presents itself with hearing loss, dystonia type movements, not able to talk walk or control his muscles and he has been the same way since four years of age. They just gave it a generic term for it familia infantile bilaterl stiatal necrosis. Both boys had the same MRI results. His younger brother did not start losing his mile stones until he was 6 years old and unexpectedly passed in 05 at age eight and autopsy could not show any cause of death and brain biopsy didn't show anything.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to something that would help my son to improve or anyone know of someone who has the same condition. Thank you.

Now 13 years later I still wonder what was in that medicine that seem to cure his condition while he was in the hospital and he has been the same since that hospital visit, no degeneration since. If anyone have any ideas as to what else I can do please help.

Symptoms:
- complained of a sinus problem/pain 2 weeks ago
- dizziness
- chills, constantly cold during even when bundled
- stiff neck and shoulder, excruciatingly painful; ice pack and hot pack helped relieve pain, especially the ice pack
- night sweats
This has been present for the last 5-7 days. He had blood drawn. He's not anemic, not diabetic, his Thyroid hormone is being checked, he doesn't have an infection, but the doctors mentioned that it could be an unknown virus.
Any ideas on what it could be so that we can ask his regular doctor to test for? Any recommendations for remedies?
I've been giving him electrolytes to prevent dehydration and ginger tea for his dizziness. The poor man can't seem to get warm. He's so miserable.
Please respond to: the_murdocks2004(at)yahoo.com
It could be an MSG toxicity problem.

Also was thinking possible thyroid while reading.... Which Organic Virgin Coconut oil is good for the support of, as is Zinc. Maybe read about it on here under the ailments page. Lots of good info on here re MSG also.
Good luck, and please keep us posted as to how your husband is and what they figure out! Carly

My husband is still experiencing coldness at night and sweats. His stiffened neck and shoulders have relaxed -- alternating cold and hot packs have helped with easing that. I gave him a very small dose of niacin the night before and he only felt chilled once that night; forgot last night and he was up in the middle of the night changing clothes again due to sweat and chills.
He was tested for meningitis; nope.
It could be stress with other physical problems. I asked him to get his hormones checked, adrenal and thyroid.
We are strictly off MSG, aspartame and other additives at home, so unless he's sneaking nasty foods, I don't think it's currently his food. We cook regularly at home and use organic and primarily non-gmo foods, lots of fresh. We're also minimizing plastics.
It'd be nice if it weren't so much a mystery. If it is viral, I'd like to know what it is!
I'll look into the vit C recommended.
Please post anything else you can think of.
Appreciate it,
Sheila

Another one is chemical exposure prior to the symptoms.
Sweating does help get rid the body of toxins especially if your liver is not functioning at its peak. Did they test (blood) for liver function? Some support for it would be helpful for chemical exposure and for when killing viruses etc.
Magnesium oil rubbed over the stiff areas 2-3 times a day may help.
Do you eat a lot of corn? The reason I ask is that your husband received benefit from niacin. Which can become deficient in those eating corn/maize products regularly. Unless of course you are doing the ancient way of cooking it with lime (not the fruit). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization

I have had a few things occur concerning my health and I wanted to share to see if anyone can help, its been really worrying me.
Last at Christmas I came down with a cough and cold and then the day after new year in January 2011 I came down with acute sinusitis and pain in the legs, then my stomach was upset and I felt sick and could not eat. I then began to notice my eyes go yellow and my skin was itching I then had jaundice.
This is the point that I went to a doctor and had blood tests.The tests came back in Jan 2011 with high liver enzymes pointing to a hepatitis of some sort, the tests for hepatitis B and C were negative and for hepatitis caused by a virus ( hepatitis A ) the results were negative for an active virus ( present in the body ) but the blood tests were positive for IGG which shows that I have had hepatitis A and was in the recovery stage.
It all pointed to the hep A at this stage. I also had a scan and they said there was nothing there only the liver and spleen a little enlarged due to an infection possibly we thought related to the hepatitis A virus? I then began to get better slowly thoughout Feb, March and April. The eyes and skin recovering and the yellow going.
Anyway I had more blood tests again in June and July so to monitor my recovery ( assuming I was recovering from hepatitis A which they say you recover from in 3-9 months ) and although the readings were going down they were still quite high in June and July, I was still getting tired with little night low grade fevers here and there but was functioning ok with all my duties.
I also, in July went to see a hepatic specialist. However, she was quite negative after seeing the blood results saying I may have autoimmune hepatitis and it was not Hepatitis A virus as you recovery quickly within 3 months with blood values dropping quickly .. She then said to have tests on the immune system, which I did. The results came back mainly negative except for one- ANA necleo which was 1.329 which another medical person said not to worry about.
I then, this December 2011, went to have another blood test to see how it was looking as I have been having low grade fevers in the early morning between 4-6am and sometimes aching muscles in the legs etc. Anyway the reading this December said that the enzymes related to the liver were still high ( however they were lower than the blood test readings in June and july 2011 ) they were going down gradually but not back to normal. The doctor then said to have another blood test to see for any special viruses or bacterias that could be causing the infection and most of these were negative except it showed I had had in the past the Epstein barr virus.The doctor at the blood test place then said maybe there was a blockage from gallstones etc. and so we decided to book me in for a complete body scan 3 days ago ( very advanced scan you go in a tube, not nice :( ) After the scan they said no blockages or tumors or growths but the liver and spleen still a little enlarged from a virus maybe or the doctor there said some form of hepatitis.
So we returned yesterday to a visit with the lady Hepatic doctor who looked again at all th blood results and autoimmune blood results and again she said she was 100% convinced I had autoimmune hepatitis and was not recovering from Hepatitis A. It could have been the Hepatitis A that caused some damage and it brought something I already had dormant in my system which is Auto immune hepatitis ( which basically is the immune system attacks cells from another organ such as the liver.. She also said it's genenic but none of my family as I know have it or had it??? She said I need to have a liver biopsy to see the damage and then treatment of steroids ( cortisone ) to help the liver recovery and keep the autoimmune system in remission. I do not really want to take steroids as they have side effects?
Also I am not sure I have autoimmune hepatitis so I am going for a second opinion. Can anyone suggest anything? Is it slow recovery from Hep A as the blood values for the liver are going down or does it suggest autoimmune? Although it all started after a common cough and cold and sinusitis.. Many thanks

I have little experience with this, BUT until someone with more experience does reply; I will offer this advice:
1. the symptoms suggest you are correct; that she has been poisoned; specifically the liver organ is poisoned and stopped digesting activity.
2. the most important thing to do is find the source of the poison in her environment, and remove it. After you do that, then treat her for poisoning.
3. Stop all solid food intake to her, she can not digest it, and it will rot inside her and cause her to be poisoned by un-digested food. give her only clear vegetable broths, & clear herb teas if she can tolerate these. No solid food of any kind. The one exception being psyllium seed mucillage.... which is not a food, and will pass on thru the gut without being absorbed thru the gut wall.
4. Treat her for poisoning. assume pesticides, fungicides, chemical solvents, arsenic, fluorides, food preservatives, food grain pest treatments, etc etc etc. treat thru the gut to try to get the poisons out thru the bowel. Expelled thru the bowl.
5. Try these agents:
a. food grade wood charcoal powder, mixed in water as a slurry, and drank. possibly mixed with psylla seed powder in water mixture. This is used to absorb toxins in the gut, and transport them out of the body, via the bowel.
b. food grade clay powder, mixed with water and drank as a slurry, possibly mixed with psylla seed powder, as a drink. This is to absorb toxins out of the gut and transport them out of the body.
c. psyllium seed powder, to be mixed with water and drank quickly before it gells. This is used to move the bowels, and cleanse the food tube. To transport toxins out of the gut.
d. Alpha Lipoic Acid pills: specific to detoxify the liver of poisons. very powerfull. Very effective. Much research behind it. Safe to use. non-toxic substance.
e. silmaryn extract pills; from milk thistle seeds: used to remove toxins from liver. Very effective. Very powerfull. Safe to use, non-toxic substance.
f. Castor oil packs put over the liver area. Research Edgar Cayce treatments using it. Very powerfull. Very effective. Safe to use. Non-toxic when used externally in a liver fomentation.
g. Coffee enemas: used to detoxify the liver, thru the bowel. Coffee enemas cause the liver to expell wastes and toxins into the bowel, where they can be expelled out the bowell. Research especially Max Gerson method of using them.
f. seek out and try to use local african herbs that are traditionally used to treat the liver. Choose one or more liver herbs to support the liver, and give as liquid teas.
6. Use the above substances by researching them on the internet, and finding the specific amounts and dosages to give, and the proper way to prepare them..... or by finding a herb doctor , or naturopathic doctor who knows how to use them.
7. If you can not find out the specific doses, etc, to use, then reply back to this forum and ask for more help, and I will try to help you determine the specic dosages to use. Or other members of this forum will.
There are no doubt many more substances you can use for internal poisoning antidotes, but the above ones can be a start. Tumeric is probably also a powerfull blood cleanser. Research it also. Also research the sweating herbs, to get a pathway for the toxins to go out thru the skin. Same for the diuretic herbs, to get the toxins expelled thru the kikneys. Perhaps also lay the patient in a bathtub of warm water with 2 quarts of epsom salts dissolved in the water, and try to pull the toxins out thru the skin, into the bath water, by osmosis of the epsom salt water.

The only thing I can think of is Bells Palsy. I looked up Bells Palsy under Ailments and found this:
- "I awoke about a year ago with one side of my face severely swollen and paralyzed. My ear was bothering me and I thought it was just a very bad ear infection. When I went to my doctor he said I had Bells Palsy"
If it is Bells Palsy go to youtube and search "Bells Palsy Acupuncture". The acupuncture works to stimulate blood flow back to the area. There is a girl on there who videotaped her whole healing process with bells palsy and acupuncture. It did take her a long time but it worked.
As Oscar said though get a diagnosis first.
Mallyboo013
It could also be an abscessed tooth or sinus infection. Some abcessed teeth will make one side of your entire face swell up and there isn't always pain. When an abcess is bad enough to cause swelling and numbness it can be very serious so don't mess with it either. You might try drinking Jean's Tomatoe Tea which is delicious and helpful for sinus issues and also has garlic and cayenne which is good for your heart.

Either way, I hope this information helps and I do hope you feel better.

As I recall, it took some months to recover, 6 or so. It was slow, and I would forget that some odors no longer bothered me. Of course, some odors are warnings that we should avoid them. I see here that people have made excellent suggestions to you, so I'm just adding the B12 to them. It also lowered my pulse rate, stopped my dizzyness, and improved my lung function, in time. The brain fog can get in the way of remembering to take it daily, so it helps to set it out in a prominent place for a while, and to take it at the same time daily. Morning is a good time.
I have bad candida, beginning of blood clotting with fibrinic threads multiplying too rapidly, my immunity is so low that the doctor could not even believe it. She said it was the worse she has seen in my age, and that my stress level was so immensely high and that in combination with blood clotting, I could die from heart attack or stroke any time. I also have a very bad heavy metal poisoning and there are undigested food particles flowing around in the blood. My metabolism is incredibly slow which is why I probably can ´t lose weight after birth and look bigger than during pregnancy. People keep thinking I am pregnant! Which I am not due to the fact that I am not capable of having intercourse due to pain down there after the birth. My healing is probably slow due to my low immunity. She said I risked rheumatoid arthritis and that she had seen 80 year olds with healthier blood. That together with my lung fungus and the fact that I so often am paralyzed by my multiple chemical sensitivity (or hyposmia, have hard time deciding) as well as chronic fatigue, dizziness, joint and backpain, breathlessness, ocd, as well as bouts of emotional instability after all this (can u blame me?) and aggressivity, sadness, hopelessness and then pain in my heart, my chest and my lungs makes me think I have no future.
The fact that I am aggressive and angry so often, and smash things makes my husband mad, and if I get angry at him for instance for spraying on parfume or opening a room where it smells like paint, I start fainting, losing breath and get rapid heart beat, when I wake up, I get extremely angry at him for exposing me to chemicals, and start screaming and crying, he tells me the worst things, pushes me back really hard if I push him, it ends with me scratching him, screaming in agony and shaking and fainting for hours. Doctor said that even small stress could make me get a heart attack, and he knows it. Still he tells me he hates me, I disgust him, that he wants me to die etc. That does not feel like there is a reason for me to live. I right now sleep on the bathroom floor since the isolation is good, and no smog from outside comes in. He sits outside screaming at me and calling me names. I cannot hold my child since his clothes smell like detergent, no matter if I clean it without. I wash some of his clothes with chemical free soap when I feel ok enough and then I can hold him. He doesn ´t smile at me anymore and my husband said I am crazy and that he feels sorry that I am his son's mother. Hearing this day after I find out I will probably die was not exactly encouraging. I need energy to live and I have none and no real inspiration. Most people we know smoke, and they all think that I exaggerate and that smoke is nothing to complain about. That I keep fainting is just normal I guess. So, nobody comes to us since they can't smoke, I can't go anywhere, since everybody smokes. And not to mention parfumes, detergents, smog and everything that makes me faint, feel nauseous and breathless.
I am so sorry for the depressing post, if somebody helps me to survive, I promise to post a daily joke here, every day, and that I will be the most uplifting person ever ( I usually am). I just feel so alone, doctors cannot help me, and I have no support. Any suggestions are welcome, I will be forever grateful :-) Love u E.C. and all u dear, helpful beautiful people!
