Here is a great testimonial. For more of them, check the link on the end. My testimonial of Healing My Lifelong Eczema With Natural Meansby Shirley Liipschutz-RobinsonI have been suffering from eczema/psoriasis for 49 years, since I was one year old.(The reason that I write eczema/psoriasis is because I have been given both diagnosis by various dermatologists.) I learned later that eczema was caused by vaccines and cow milk baby formula allergy.

My parents had taken me to dozens of dermatologists which were unsuccessful in helping me. As a teenager, I used to spend my vacation time in a hospital in Leiden, Holland, where nurses would coat my entire body with a strong smelling sticky black tar. The tar treatment only temporarily reduced some of the inflammation.

Finally when I was 17, a doctor in Belgium gave me a prescription for cortisone pills and cream (Kenakort) which rapidly cleared my eczema as by "magic". I thought I had finally found the "miracle cure" and was elated but totally unaware of the danger of cortisone (steroids). I continued to take this medication for 9 years to keep the eczema in check, not realizing that in the process the cortisone's nasty side effects was destroying my immune system and slowly killing me.

(learn about the nasty side effects of steroids. )Worldwide, more and more people develop psoriatic and eczematic symptoms, with the highest rate of increase observed in the “developed industrialized” world.My heart goes out to anyone out there who suffers from psoriasis, eczema, scleroderma, and many other painful diseases and think that there are no cures. I too believed that there was no cure.

That's why I decided to share this story on the internet. Treatments that are recommended by doctors and pharmaceutical companies worldwide amounts to futile attempts at mere symptom treatment instead of the trying to address the root causes of the condition. There are various creams, ointments, and UV light treatments but none of them appear to have any lasting effects on the vast majority of sufferers, and many of the remedies cause undesirable side effects.

Why elimination of the symptom is NOT the same as elimination of the disease.In my little biography "A light at the end of the tunnel part 1" I describe my struggles with years of debilitating health problems, how I overcame a lifetime of chronic diseases and addiction to prescription drugs, and how I lost 60 lbs in 3 months effortlessly. Even my eczema/psoriasis had improved over 80% with the homeopathic treatment and by switching my diet from the SAD (standard American diet) to a wholesome diet of fresh, organically grown fruits, vegetables, and nuts, mostly in their raw form.(I delighted my taste buds with nutritious raw food recipes ) The hardest part of this diet was to keep away from meat, dairy and grain products to which I was adddicted to. I drank ONLY ion microwater and abstained entirely from carbonated sodas, sugar, etc.I have maintained this diet to this day and have no desire to return to the SAD diet.

However, my eczema was not completely cured and the following 15 years I continued to experience small flare ups of this stubborn skin disease in the form of a few small spots on my hands, arms, my back and my face with periodic improvement and relapses. I didn't worry about those ups and downs because they were mild compare to what it used to be.In my never ending search for for healing my eczema naturally I learned about uropathy and auto-immune urine therapy which has a reputation of curing some of the worst chronic diseases, including the worst of skin affections. I read several books about UT and was so impressed with the case histories of amazing cures that I hesitated no longer to try it for my own health.

I practiced UT for about one year. I knew that as part of the healing process my body would begin to discard toxic residues which had built up over the years and I was aware that my eczema may reappear or get worse for a period of time as my body eliminates toxins through the skin. This process is known as a healing crisis.

Some people experience mild healing crisis while others have a more intense experience. I think that I may have had a very intense healing crisis in December of 1996 when I experienced the worst case of eczema/psoriasis ever...or was it merely the result of a severe deficiency of a vital nutrient as I learned later? At the onset of this relapse, my entire body looked like it had a second degree sunburn or radiation burn with bright red, swollen skin.

The next day my entire body was covered with the raised, thickened skin of eczematous condition. Even my feet and other areas of my body which had previously remained clear were now affected. In addition, my feet and ankles had swelled up to twice their original size.

To this day, I can't say for sure that this was a healing crisis brought on by uropathy or by something else. The condition was worse on my hands, arms, legs and feet where the swollen, inflamed skin caused intolerable itching and burning pains day and night preventing or disturbing my sleep. The itching became unbearable when my body would overheat and sweat during exercises or in the heat of the bed.

Scratching caused bleeding and oozing of a clear/yellowish viscid fluid which would form crusts and caused massive scaling when scratched. I also developed extremely painful deep cracks on the bottom of my feet and on my hands, palms and fingers. The skin on the rest of my body had become thick, tough, and indurated.

I thought that it looked like that of an elephan's thick skin and it felt rough like sand paper to the touch. Eventually the skin of my face, throat and neck had also become swollen and felt stiff as though it was made of cardboard and glue. I wondered if I had developed scleroderma.

I was constantly cold, even when covered in layers of clothing and tucked under the covers in warm room. Only very hot baths afforded me relief from the cold, the pains and the itches and temporarily softened my skin. The hot water initially made myskin itch terribly for the first few minutes.

Brushing my skin vigorously with strong nylon hair brushes (one in each hand) for a few minutes caused the itch stopped completely and afforded me total relief and relaxation. The brushing of my skin also helped removed dead skin cells and gave my lymph glands a great massage in the process. I had to stop using soap of any kind.

Here is what R. Lincoln Graham, M.D. Writes about soap: "If soap has an excess of alkali-and most of them do-this alkali promptly unites with the delicate fatty substances secreted for the protection of the skin, and removes it, leaving the skin surface dry and harsh. Cracks then form in the skin, and dirt works into them, frequently requiring the use of even stronger soap the eradicate.

This still further deepens the cracks, and so it goes, from bad to wrose"Soaking my body in kelp and bentonite clay infused water was very soothing and detoxifying and cleansing to me, I had no need for soap. Occasionally I also had a colloidal oatmeal bath. After the bath, I massaged my hands and feet with castor oil mixed with calendula extract and wrapped them in plastic bags for a few hours to keep the skin and the cracks as soft as possible.

Later I discovered colloidal oatmeal/coconut butter lotion and Shea Butter (derived from the seeds of the Karite Nut of the Mangifolia Tree in Africa). These 2 lotions soothe and moisturize my skin without clogging my pores. The pain and discomfort from my swollen feet and ankles and from my painfully inflamed skin had debilitated me so that I could barely function anymore.

I made every effort to avoid perspiring (which was very difficult in the hot summer days) because sweat burned my diseased skin as though pure acid was poured over it.It had become very difficult for me to do computer work or any other work. The slightest task seemed like a huge chore. Exhausted and in pain most of the time, I thought I had reached the end of my life and would die soon.

I'd lie in bed for hours staring at the TV or resting. I didn't want to seek help from a dermatologists because I knew that they would put me back on dangerous anti-inflammatory drugs (steroids like cortisone or prednisone) and antihistamine and I knew from past experience that these would spell BAD NEWS for me in the long run. I wasn't about to interfere with my body's self cleansing and healing process by suppressing my symptoms with drugs as I had done in the past.

I learned from my son's pediatrician, Dr. Paul Fleiss, that my eczema was directly the result of blood toxicity (leaky gut syndrome) and a deficiency of essential nutrients (mainly the omega 3 oils, which are found in abundance in Marine Phytoplankton and flaxseed oil. Certain types of fat-metabolism malfunctions are more often found in patients suffering from eczema and psoriasis than in the rest of the population.Dr. Fleiss gave me a bottle of flaxssed oil and advised me to take two tablespoons of that oil everyday.(Healing is impaired and immune function decreased when there is a deficiency of omega 3 fatty acids). I also suffered from a deficiency of glyconutrients and trace minerals (Marine Phytoplankton product offers full Spectrum 72 natural ionic sea trace minerals)I also I used herbal remedies as outlined in Dr. Pagano's book "Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative" and I had chiropractic treatments (outlined in Dr. Pagano's book).

I had accupuncture to stimulate the "Chi" to help my body heal itself, and I supplemented my diet with essential oils and other important nutrients. Seven weeks later my overall condition had improved markedly. The swelling was completely gone, Sources: http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/eczema.htm .
