Eczema Free Forever Scam Or Really A Cure?

Nov 242011
 

When I saw Rachel Anderson’s Eczema Free Forever ad on the internet I was very skeptical. A natural cure for eczema, really? I had eczema all my life just like my mom did and grandmother as well. My ears and hands would crack and bleed and I found out my grandmother’s hands had done the same. I had tried everything I knew to try to treat eczema, including the advice of doctors who told me there was no cure. Although not as severe as Rachel and her son’s eczema, I knew I passed it down when seeing the first signs on each of my children’s skin and recently noticed them on my granddaughter’s skin. With winter fast approaching and my 8 year old son’s eczema in full swing already, I knew I had to do something fast. I was so tired of trying to mask the symptoms of eczema, knowing it would only be back again or never go away at all, so I decided it was worth a try. I liked the fact that Rachel is a skin care specialist in natural and herbal medicine with a medical background. The price of only $29.95 would be a bargain if it worked and the 100% money-back guarantee eased my mind so I reluctantly purchased it, fully expecting to get my money back since I figured it was just another scam.

Simply put, reading Rachel’s 86 page book blew me away! Eczema Free Forever is NOT A SCAM!! Besides being well written and super simple to read, I got to start the same day on our individual remedies for eczema. I learned that the root cause of eczema is not a skin disease but actually a problem with our immune systems that causes everyday things to make our skin flare-up. It made perfect sense that you couldn’t change a problem on the outside if the actual cause came from the inside and by eating fresh natural foods we can boost our immune systems and fight the effects of eczema. I liked how she explains each type of eczema and gives a specific treatment for each kind. She not only gives the foods you should or should not eat but even provides recipes. One of the best things I liked was that she has a section specifically for children. Honestly, the only thing I wasn’t crazy about Rachel’s book, was seeing the types of foods needed to be eaten to produce the resulting cure knowing my child’s picky eating habits. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find he didn’t mind trying new things in order to cure that irritating constant need to scratch his itchy skin. Now, he likes the new food choices and my family is much healthier and happier because of it.

I’ve learned tons of awesome information by ordering Rachel’s book and had no need to use the money-back guarantee because it simply works and I would recommend it to anyone suffering from any type of eczema or skin condition. Remember, when dealing with eczema…one size does not fit all! Not everyone has the same type or degree of eczema. Rachel reminds us that everyone’s biology is not the same so even though her cure has been proven to work in as little as 3 days, your eczema treatment may take longer, so hang in there. If you truly want to get rid of eczema, like me and my family, it’s definitely worth the money to be Eczema Free Forever!

What Type Of Eczema Do You Have?

Nov 242011
 

Eczema is a broad term used to describe a range of persistent skin conditions which can cause dryness and recurring rashes that can make the skin red, swell, itch, crust, flake, blister, crack, ooze, or bleed. The word eczema is often used interchangeably with atopic dermatitis but there are several types all together. Different things can trigger or worsen your eczema such as stress, weather, infections like the common cold or flu, seasonal allergies, food allergies, irritants and allergens. Usually allergens are animal or vegetable proteins from foods, pollens or pets and can trigger a flare-up of your eczema. Irritants are things that cause burning, itching or red skin such as chemicals, detergents, course fabrics, acidic foods, skin care products, soaps and fragrances. Food allergies can cause flare-ups either by eating the food or by skin contact during food preparation. Citric fruits like lemons, limes and oranges may cause a flare-up when you are exposed to the sun. The saps of certain trees and the stems, leaves, and flowers of some plants can trigger flare-ups.

Atopic dermatitis can occur at any age and is associated with people who have the three associated conditions of eczema, allergies, and asthma but not necessarily all at the same time and it can be inherited from parents. Atopic dermatitis almost always begins in childhood, usually during infancy. Skin becomes extremely itchy and inflamed causing redness, swelling, cracking, weeping, crusting, and scaling on the face, behind the ears, arms and legs but can cover the entire body.

Contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes in contact with irritants like chemicals, detergents, course fabrics, acidic foods, skin care products, soaps and fragrances or allergens such as pollens, or pets that can cause inflammation, burning, itching or redness.

Asteatotic  eczema is dry skin that becomes so serious it turns into eczema. It worsens in dry winter weather, and limbs and trunk are most often affected. The itchy, tender skin resembles a dry, cracked, river bed. It’s very common among the older population.

Seborrheic  dermatitis, or cradle cap in infants, produces yellowish, oily, scaly patches of skin. The scalp, sides of the nose, eyebrows, eyelids, behind the ears and middle of the chest are the most common areas affected.

Dyshidrotic dermatitis, or hand eczema, is a blistering type of eczema, which is twice as common in women. It is limited to the fingers, palms and soles of the feet. Your hands may have itchy, scaly patches of skin that flake constantly or become red cracked and painful.

Do Steroids Get Rid Of Eczema?

Nov 242011
 

Eczema products such as topical steroids are what most people use to treat eczema but what if there were a way to cure eczema? That is exactly what Eczema Free Forever does! When my eczema flared-up, I was told to apply topical steroid creams to reduce the itchy, irritated, inflamed skin, and that incredibly overwhelming need to scratch it, which was supposed to allow it to heal. Steroids naturally occur in our bodies to regulate both growth and immune function so I figured it was safe to use like most people do. After years of using those nasty, greasy, smelly steroid ointments and creams that would either work for awhile or never work at all, I decided to do my homework. Through research, I found that health experts have associated topical steroid use with:
•Skin atrophy
•Permanent stretch marks
•Liver damage
•Eye damage
•Birth defects
•Cancer
•Adrenal suppression

Well that’s bad enough for an adult like me, my spouse and my 20 year old son but what about infants and children?  I also have an 8 year old son and a 2 year old granddaughter and what I found out next scared the pants off me!  Children and infant have a higher ratio of body surface compared to their body weight, so they are more susceptible to steroid absorption. So, if large quantities of these steroids are use too frequently, used inappropriately under a diaper or other covered area, or is on certain areas of skin such as raw, thin skin on the face, genitals or areas that rub together, then it increases the potency and absorption into the skin. Also, if a child is given steroids by mouth, in large doses or long-term, then the absorption into the bloodstream can cause prolonged adrenal suppression, growth suppression (height), weakened immune responses and reduce the body’s production of natural corticosteroids.

If that wasn’t bad enough I also discovered if topical steroids are used for long periods, they can occasionally cause a temporary, mild increase in fine hair growth in the treated areas, although this is rare, and frequent scratching can also cause a temporary, mild increase in fine hair growth.  Ladies we all know that the only place we want hair growth is on top of our heads!  That was the last straw.  I had to find a natural eczema cure!

How To Treat Eczema Tender Skin

Nov 062011
 

A daily skin care routine of bathing and moisturizing is an essential part to your eczema relief because your skin gets dry mainly due to its lack of ability to
retain water. Water hydrates the top layer of our skin and at the same time
cleans, removing irritants and allergens, removes crusted tissues such as dead
skin cells and softens skin so moisturizers can be absorbed. Using harsh,
drying soaps, excessive washing without moisturizing, cold temperatures, wind,
and low humidity can also aggravate your eczema and cause dry itchy skin.

Daily short baths or showers (no more than 5 to10 minutes), using lukewarm water, not hot, is preferable because hot water tends to dry your skin out faster. Use a gentle, non-soap bodywash or bar if possible, but if you feel you need to use a soap,
use a fragrance and dye-free, neutral-pH (pH lower than 5.5) type of soap. Do not rub or scrub your skin excessively with washcloths.  When through, do not dry your skin completely after your bath or shower, instead pat your skin lightly with a towel and moisturize immediately. Moisturizers improve skin hydration, provide a barrier against moisture loss and come in ointments, creams and lotions. They are most effective when applied to skin that’s been soaked in water, so it’s very important
to properly apply them within 3 minutes of showering or bathing and while your skin is still wet. Use a generous portion, soften by rubbing it between your hands, and apply using the palm of your hand in a downward direction. Do
not rub skin in an up and down motion or around in circles. Be sure to
reapply throughout the day and whenever your skin becomes dry and itchy.
