Eczema and Aloe Vera

Eczema can be caused by many things; however the exact cause is a mystery.  Eczema can be caused

Eczema has also been associated
 with fungal infections.

by STRESS and other emotional factors …nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, low stomach acidity, low pancreatic digestive enzyme levels and other digestive abnormalities.

Eczema has also been associated with fungal infections.  If using antibiotics as a fungal treatment, the antibiotics kill off the friendly bacteria that usually keep fungi like Candida Albicans at bay …allowing the unfriendly to flourish and get out of control.

As you already know from the other articles about Candida Albicans and other fungi …they secrete a toxin that can cause a long list of health problems …including eczema.

Eczema in most cases are usually treated with prescriptions with cortisone-based creams.  Dermatologist usually prefers to suppress eczema and other skin problems with assorted steroid lotions and creams.

For those suffering from eczema who wish to go the more natural approach in reversing eczema should begin with a diet as fresh and unrefined as possible …avoid chemicals as much as possible …avoid chlorinated tap water, animal products, processed foods, coffee, tea, alcohol and sugar in any form.  Even the sugar found naturally in fruit and soft drinks agitate eczema because sugar feeds bacteria, parasites and fungi such as Candida Albicans already present in the gastrointestinal tract.

On a strict trial bases …avoid dairy, eggs and animal products that may be loaded with drugs such as antibiotics, synthetic hormones, nitrates and other toxins …causing even more skin problems.

However, not all is lost …these nutrient supplements have a history of both treatment and prevention.

Essential fatty acids (salmon oil, primrose oil, flaxseed oil, black current seed oil) a high ranking multi-vitamin (Vita-x-tremes), B complex vitamin (Complex B-100), to name a few.

And one of the most effective treatments used for the past 20 years by Healthy Systems Nutritionals is the combination of the “best tasting aloe vera” in the industry …the properly stabilized organic Aloe Vera …the probiotic (ProEnzyme) and the super anti-oxidant (Complex-50 Plus), a formula using Bivon® Full Spectrum Grape Extract (skin and seeds), L-Glutathione, Quercetin and a Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex. 

Organic Aloe Vera and the skin ...Part II

In the first article about "Aloe Vera and the Skin", I mentioned the skins function, conditions with the environment and some of the many reactions effecting the skin, including allergies.

Your skin has many tell tale signs of a disorder and can be easily revealed simply by looking in the mirror.

The reflection of your face can often times reveal facts about your skin, your over all health and the presence of different diseases than any other part of your body.

In most cases, it can reflect a general problem, such as, deficiencies in your nutritional state and the effects of stress, aging, certain skin disorders, allergic reactions and the damaging habits of tobacco and of excessive alcohol consumption.

Be aware and watch for changes that affect the color of your face, including the lips and the whites of the eyes. Look for any redness, yellowing, bluish shade, paleness or darkening should also be noted.

Believe it or not, even the shape or size of your face may also indicate a skin health problem.

For example, a reddish characteristic butter-fly shaped rash could be the serious inflammatory condition that affects the body's connective tissue commonly known as Lupus erythematosus ...this condition may be helped with properly stabilized Organic Aloe Vera.

Paleness is one of the most common changes in skin color. It may be the sign of anemia caused by iron deficiency, the loss of blood or many other conditions ...even shock.

A bluish hue to the lips can indicate a serious lung or heart condition known as, cyanosis.

And let's not forget the sun. Although the sun is needed for personal health, to much sun over a prolong period of time causes the collagen and the elastic fibers to break down your skin, especially sun exposed areas like you face ...properly stabilized Organic Aloe Vera can help again.

And while we're at it, let's not forget ...aging of the skin.

Your diet, your lifestyle, your habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol and your exposure to the sun, can all accelerate these age related effects...and don't forget about your sleep habit. You need adequate rest for the body to regenerate.

When it comes to Organic Aloe Vera... I always say..."get it in you or get it on you"... especially with the children, because they love to drink the "best tasting aloe vera".

Therefore, I recommend drinking plenty of clean, fresh, filtered water with two-four ounces of Organic Aloe Vera every day.

If you have a skin condition...use the creme, gel or the lotion...get it on you.

Of course, know your supplier!!
