My 9 month old son has horrible eczema and I feel very frustrated by all the dr.'s he has seen about it. Since I live in a small town my resources feel very limited. Would love to hear more!

As much as I appreciate doctors, I am so indebted to those who have showed me about nutrition. Otherwise it might have taken years for us to figure out about Lane's celiac. Doug's doctor had put him on heartburn medicine for a year before we realized he had a milk intolerance. It's funny how food is usually the last thing to be suspected or changed. I love this story.

I completely believe you that the changes in diet have made such a huge difference. It's too bad that most doctors aren't willing to accept that. :( Praise God for leading you to learn more about nutrition for your son's health! Lord willing, it sounds like there could be complete healing over time! Stephanie, what an amazing story! I completely believe you that the changes in diet have made such a huge difference.

When our son was 2 he got the typical cold but also a rash that wouldn't go away. We went to doctor after doctor, tried all kinds or medicines and finally two years later found out that he has a rare skin disease and evidence of pre lymphoma. Have you ever heard of "pre" cancer? I didn't until then,but essentially they found cancer cells in his biopsy that were above normal. We are in a time will tell state, and hoping and praying nothing ever develops. We began to eliminate all processed foods, dyes, anything with high fructose corn syrup, msg, nitrites etc and noticed an improvement pretty quickly. Then we began giving him cod liver oil daily, along with light therapy that he recieves every other day. Our latest doctors visit revealed that his lymph nodes were almost normal, which I absolutely contribute to our diet changes. I really believe the wrong foods were feeding those cancer cells. He also has excema, which up until now has been the least of our worries, but I have found that the cod liver oil has done wonders for it. He still has the skin disorder (called PLEVA) all over but it has been contained and is being managed now. I have learned so much about health and nutrition in the process, and although the doctors would never agree with me that diet changes have helped, I *know* that it did. I have a story for you!

Eczema runs in my family, and we've only ever treated it with steroid cream. I have flare ups several times a year and I am keeping an eye out for it on my son. I am going to take note of the remedies you described. I am curious about the resources you used while learning about holistic health and natural living. Have you ever done a post about that? I know I would definitely be interested in knowing where to start researching as I am just beginning this journey. I'm going to have to bookmark this entry.

My 3 1/2 year old is having an awful time with her Excema. We had it under control for awhile but it has gotten awful, we are taking her to the allergy doctor tomorrow. I hope that we can see what's bothering here and I really like the idea of using grapeseed extract, and colloidal silver. What brands did you use? And did you use an adult form but just give her small doses? We already use probiotics. I would love to know what children's brand you use in that as well. Thanks!!

One similar to the one Stephanie described as a baby and one on her arms the past 8 months. She is finally better. Unfortunately, I did not find any natural alternatives in my original search via the internet. When she went for her yearly check-up in January, the doctor suggested a steroid cream, which I DID NOT want to do. However, we were very concerned about a skin infection because of how weepy, nasty, and itchy her arms were, so I went ahead and did it. It started to get better with in two hours and gone in 3 days. Now, I really don't want to do this again, but in this situation I am glad we did. It just had gone on so long and I didn't know what to do. We had tried to cut foods out of her diet, but nothing seemed to be working. We have only had one short outbreak of it when she used some of Mommy's special bath soap when she wasn't supposed to, but it quickly went away. (Thank you Lord!) We had a follow-up visit with the allergy doctor, where he was very understanding that I wanted to find the root cause, but happy that the exczema was better. He gave me the papers to get Abigail tested by the SAGE test (which tests food sensitivities). We're in the process of getting the paperwork/doctor/insurance stuff done than getting the test. This test was the only alternative hope he could give me for discovering something. I would really love to read some solid research on these areas of traditional medicine versus alternative medicine. I have a nurse practitioner friend who won't even hear the talk of alternative ideas, saying they are not based on factual evidence, but I have heard so often how these natural remedies have not only been helpful, but life-changing for individuals as well. It is a real dillemna for me because I lean more towards trying natural alternatives, when my husband is just starting to lean a little bit towards those ideas. It is hard when you are fighting the "mainstream" thoughts of society. Abigail has had 2 outbreaks of exczema that have been terrible.
