eczema: blistering, weeping, wet, peeling, red flaky skin
- dermatitis: dry, sensitive, itchy skin rashes (not moist like eczema)
- swelling on the face (edema): eyelids, lips, ears, scalp
- a "hardened" feeling of the skin, like being "encased" in it, as in scleroderma
- premature wrinkling from a thickened skin at the eyes & forehead
- chronic yeast infection (from candida albicans)
- painful scalp: itchy, blisters, dandruff, hair loss (incl. eyebrows)
- migraine headache: very sensitive to light; nausea
- swollen, painful joints: especially ankles, knees, hands, elbows
- hives (urticaria): popping up in different areas on the body
- inflamed fingernails and toenails; hangnails
- soles of feet: peeling in many layers, wet bumps and blisters
- hands: tiny itchy bubbles, peeling palms
- deep acne, with a strange combination of oily & dry, flaky skin
- feeling of chronic fatigue syndrome, ADD, sleeping much more than usual; sleeping through a loud alarm; drooling in your sleep
- varying effects of diet, especially food allergies and candida, on
eczema, with no apparent rhyme or reason.
If you've had no luck with doctors, allergy drugs, cortisone cream, or other eczema treatment, try changing your diet: not only is there contradictory advice on eczema online, but I've also heard it from the many doctors I've seen for years for dry skin, eczema, dermatitis, candida, asthma and food allergies, from New York to California to Canada. They're trying to help, but there just does not seem to be enough conclusive research on skin conditions yet, so they end up passing on bits and pieces of information that, at least for me, never added up to a complete picture of health until I took matters into my own hands and developed a natural diet.
I did a lot of research and trial and error: I cured my skin's health, overall health, and most of my allergies (or at least have been in a long remission!) with a natural diet, natural antibiotics and anti-fungals to fight candida albicans (a yeast infection on, or just under, the skin -- subcutaneous -- like having athlete's foot migrate to different parts of your body, putting extra stress on your general health and causing various types of skin conditions). Fungal overgrowth in the intestines is currently being cited as a cause of many seemingly different but similarly elusive diseases from asthma to ADD (attention-deficit disorder).
