The only thing that seems to work at the moment is Anthisan cream, an antihistamine. Whenever I stop using this the eczema comes back within a day or two. I have tried E45, Diprobase, Eicosanoil, Dermol, Cetraban and various other products and none seem to help much at the moment, even hydrocortisone does not seem to be overly helpful at the moment.
If the only problem with using anthisan is that I'll eventually become immune to its productiveness then I'm not worried - I'll just use it until I have to find something else. However, is there any other reason why it shouldn't be used long term?Is there any reason not to use antihistamine cream for a prolonged length of time to treat eczema?
Why not solve the problem rather than just trying to treat the symptoms?
If you live in the U.S., you are not going to solve the problem by going to doctors. Doctors in the U.S. can only follow this protocol or they will lose their license: First diagnose the illness and then treat it ONLY with drugs or surgery. They do not understand the body from a nutritional stand point and only follow allopathic medicine approaches and treat the symptoms.
The reason you have Eczema is most likely an adrenal gland and fat metabolism problem. You can get rid eczema forever and it only takes a few months.
If you are not getting good sleep at night ( 1 - 2 REM sleep periods ), this will not allow your adrenal glands to recharge properly and cause them to not work properly.
You need to eliminate ALL hydrogenated oils and especially genetically modified oils like Canola, Soybean, Cottonseed, and Corn. These are all being genetically altered and wreak havoc with your bodies immune system and fat digestion. Don’t be like a lot of uninformed Americans that eat these “vegetable” oils that are creating huge digestive problems.
Your liver and gall bladder need to be taken care of because if they are not working properly, you will not digest your fats correctly and this will cause the problem. Drugs like the Prednisone will damage your liver and the Magnesium Stearate are found in the ALL tablets will suppress your immune system. If you are eating a diet high in carbohydrates and low in fats, this is a big problem because the low fat diet will cause the bile in your gall bladder to become very viscous and not work properly, hence, not digest your fats properly. You need a diet that is balanced at 40% protein, 30% carbohydrates, and 30% fats to be healthy.
To correct the Eczema problem, if it were me, I would do the following and expect results very quickly.
Stop all medications, but make sure any steroids you have taken or are taking is slowly eliminated if you are taking these. Once you have stopped them, you are going to have to deal with lots of other digestive issues they have messed up.
Buy some ';pink sea-salt.'; This is salt that contains minerals and other ingredients that will help your problem. Take at least 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of this per day. Pink sea salt is a mixture of Hawaiian and Mediterranean sea salt.
Any drugs you have taken, killed your intestinal flora and you have Candida Albicans (yeast problem) that you are now going to have to deal with. This has stopped your body from producing “B” vitamins naturally. If you are itching, getting styes, ringworm, etc. this is most likely a good reason for this. It's not enough to take B vitamin pills to fix this, it won't, especially if you get the “B” Vitamins in a tablet from from drug stores or health food stores. This form of B vitamins will just be excreted by your kidneys as is evident by the yellow urine. You need to eat lots of fermented foods, like keifer, sauerkraut, miso (a good brand is Yamabuki), yogurt, etc.
I stongly suggest you go to this web site: www.healthline.cc (not .com) or call them at: (310) 320 – 1123 and order the ';Max Stress B'; product. I would take 1/4 teaspoon day one, and then increase it daily up to 2 teaspoons after one week. This is a very potent form of “B” Vitamin source that contains the ';end chain'; B's and is highly assimilated by the body. This will stop any itching you may have also within a couple days.
I would also purchase from the same company a product called Adrenal Complex. I would take 9 of these at breakfast each day. I know it sounds like a lot, but you need these herbs to go to work on your deficiencies.
If you follow this routine, you should be over the Ecxema problem within about 2 months and it should not return.
I would also change my diet to heavy omega 3 fatty acid foods such as WILD fish (not farm raised), Beef from grass fed cows (very high in omega 3 fatty acids), unlike the high omega 6 fatty acid garbage beef from grain fed cows sold in commercial grocery stores, flax seed products. Eliminate sugars, especially sodas (even diet sodas), white flour breads. This feeds the Candida and the phosphoric acid in the sodas is binding the calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, etc. preventing absorption.
I would also purchase from that company the Betaine HCL and activator, as well as the digestive enzyme and take 2 to 3 Betaine HCL and 1 to 2 activators and take after each meal, and one digestive enzyme with each meal. I would also purchase the probiotic and take one in the morning and one at night. I would take it with keifer milk. You can take this even if you are lactose intolerant.
All this will change your life and you should not ever have to deal with that Eczema again. It really works. Then when you are cured, tell your doctor and educate him on how the body works. I hope he appreciates the advice, because you will not be going to him for medications and his services anymore for this problem.
good luck to youIs there any reason not to use antihistamine cream for a prolonged length of time to treat eczema?
My answer is a comment on ';onlymatch4u';'s answer.
This is a thorough and amazing post. I will be passing it on to a friend who suffers from eczema.
I fully agree with your analysis of medical treatment methods by doctors. My point is, that it is exactly the same in Australia. No one gets quality medical care in my experience. I am a sufferer, and have got nowhere in eight years and 17 visits including two hospital stays. Over $5000 wasted and I just gave up and decided to find the solution myself. Not to mention a prescription drug Lamasil tablets (for bad tinea) caused my intestinal problems in the first place. Its criminal in my opinion.
Some points:
Enzymes frighten me. My Gastro infection spread rapidly and seriously days after taking enzymes. Felt like I was urinating glass, and could feel ureters were infected. Never gone away just eased off.
Probiotics actually make a big difference to digestive discomfort.
You might mention smoking cessation is important. If you agree with this.
