Eczema and Lifestyles - Day 16

Detoxing for Eczema is very difficult and the withdrawal symptoms can be unbearable.

This is my 16th day and my feet are drying up and flaking a lot. The most important is routine. Keeping a routine and eating only a plant based diet was difficult. The Lifestyles supplements gave me the nutrition I needed to encourage the self healing process within the body. The dry skin is annoying but it is better then the weeping fluid. I hope to have more good news on the up coming days.

Eczema and Lifestyles - Day 10

Detoxification is very difficult, the flare ups are more intense and sometimes very hard to manage. Cold Intra spray helps but only for a while. You might not believe this but I use a breathing technique, like in Yoga on the Wii.

Relaxation Breathing Techniques

It sounds silly but it works, if you focus and relax all your muscles you actually can stop itching the flare up. Once you scratch you can’t stop, so it is best not to touch it at all.

The feet are looking better, sometimes I am so tempted to use creams but lucky I have some aloe gel. It works better if you refrigerate it. Cold Intra spray and cold aloe gel is a great combination.

High Fructose Corn Syrup

If you love your liver and all its functions. Lifestyles Detoxifier is what I have used daily for the past week. I feel more energy because if you liver is over worked you will feel tired all the time. Then we use stimulates to keep us awake during the day. But people don't understand that we need to drink 8-10, 8oz glasses of clean filtered water a day. Caffeine and sugar dehydrates the body, so the real recommendation is 10-15, 8oz glasses of clean filtered water. Clean water encourages the detoxification process.

More reasons you should not drink milk.

Eczema and Lifestyles - Day 4

Skin feels very dry today, at least there was not a lot of weeping fluid anymore but a lot flaking. While I was cleaning my room I remembered something about dust mites. Even the cleanest home contains many thousands of dust mites, unfortunately about 33% of all dust mites in a typical house live in one of the mattresses. The average person loses around 10 grams of dead skin every week and it is this dead skin, or dander, that is the main food supply for these tiny creatures. If you have cats or dogs, the dead skin from your pet only helps to make the problem worse. Eczema sufferes are not average, I think if I weighted mine it would be 5 or 10 times more the norm.

I sweep my room every week. The picture above is only a weeks worth of dead skin. The throw rug has almost as much. I don't just lose skin in my bedroom, I bet I have much more in my car and computer room.

I found out that dust mites love warm and humid environments and are often more enjoy the fall and winter months, when most houses tend to be heated more. No wonder, I like my room very cold in the winter, when I close the vents my room can get as cold as 15 degrees Celsius. Which cools my “damp heated” skin, making it comfortable. Even though the skin feels dry sometimes, it doesn’t have major flare ups.

For many people, dust mites are not harmful, although they are the leading cause of allergies and can be particularly harmful to a child suffering from allergies. It’s actually the dried feces of the dust mites that causes symptoms in breathing, runny nose, watery eyes and a burning feeling in the throat. Most Eczema sufferers are asthma sufferers too. So when exposed to dust mites the symptoms get worse especially at night if you are sleeping in a bed infected with dust mites; another clue that allergies are caused by dust mites and are not seasonal, is that allergy symptoms are apparent year round. Also we use to have carpet throughout the house and we renovated to put in hardwood floor. After that, my allergies were mostly gone and my mom’s hay fever lessened dramatically.

Eczema and Lifestyles - Day 1

I have lived with Eczema all my life and never really found a remedy that got rid of it. So, I am giving myself the Lifestyles challenge. I am going to develop a Lifestyles routine with the products in order to encourage the self healing process within because as with any disease or condition the body is unbalanced. That is why many of us experience high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, cancers, migraines, abdominal pain and other reason combined.

First is choosing the right supplement that will provide me a balanced nutrition required for daily activities in this fast paced world we live. It will all come from http://myintrasite.com/Daniel It was cheaper and more economical to become an Instant Direct member then buy quality products at retail. It came with a personal “free website” why not? I added the globe for fun.

Second is to stay away from animal based diets. Less or no meat is best because of all the growth hormones and being a vegan doesn’t kill. And no dairy products at all because dairy will aggravate and unbalance my 8 biological systems. You can ask: http://www.peta.org/ about eating meat and if you can endure 90mins of watching http://www.earthlings.com/ you can search it on “youtube”.

Third is exercise a minimum 30mins a day. Either on the Wii or in my rarely used gym. Benefits of exercise as it will reduce stress, protect against heart disease, and many many benefits to count. A fit heart pumps 25% more blood per minute when at rest and over 60% more blood per minute during exertion then an unfit heart. And make sleep a routine, can’t forget that.

Forth is water and lots of it. The human body is made up of 90% water. Replenishing the body with water will help in digestion and cleansing. When detoxing water is very important, so I will be drinking 8-10 glasses of pure filtered water or bottled per day.

I will do my best to drink from my filter in the reusable bottle all of the time to save the environment.

Fifth is to document and have fun doing it. Having a record of my progress will keep me motivated. This blog will help and the Wii is great in documenting my information and weight too. Also I might even meet new people that have the same ideas in staying healthy in an unhealthy world.
