What is the defintion of Eczema?

Eczema is characterised by repeated eruptions of extremely itchy red rashes on the skin. It can affect almost any part of the skin - but is common on the hands and face and in the creases behind the knees and inside the elbows.

Each distressing outbreak can last many days - or even weeks. Eczema sufferers can be burdened with such discomfort they may be unable to sleep soundly, miss work or school and suffer low self-esteem. It is estimated eczema sufferers spend $2000 per year on temporary relief treatments.

We now know from research that many cases of eczema arise from the inflammation caused by the action of food toxins. 

How prevalent is Eczema?

• Eczema usually first appears in babies
• Up to one in three children are affected (33%)

Eczema is characterised by repeated eruptions of itchy red rashes on the skin. It can affect almost any part of the skin - but is common on the hands and face and in the creases behind the knees and inside the elbows.

Each extremely itchy outbreak can last many days - or even weeks. Eczema sufferers can be burdened with such discomfort they may be unable to sleep soundly, miss work or school and suffer low self-esteem.

It is estimated eczema sufferers spend $2000 per year on medications for temporary relief. We now know from research that many cases of Eczema arise from inflammation caused by FOOD TOXINS.

There are some foods which we humans should not eat - because they contain low levels of poison . . . food toxins. They include casein, gluten, alkaloids, saponins, solanines and others - and they all act together in various combinations. We recommend going to the source of the problem ... a LOW TOXIN DIET for relief of long term eczema. 

Eczema is a life long miserable ailment - so isn't it worthwhile to learn more abut food toxins? 

Even though not widely understood or appreciated - new research (ref.s below) shows Eczema is commonly caused by poor reactions to food toxins. 

A dairy-free diet or fgluten-free diet may bring some relief. But becasue food toxins collaborate - we recommend a low toxin diet for best results

The bodily disruption caused by food toxins damages the small intestine. This lets other toxins to leak through into your bloodstream - a medical condition called Leaky Gut. The toxins are not recognised as 'friendly' by your immune system . . . and its immediate response is to set up inflammation in your body:

• Inflammation at the joints causes stiffness and Rheumatoid Arthritis

• Inflammation in the lungs or nasal passages: Respiratory congestion, asthma and cough

• Inflammation in the digestive tract leads to Colitis and inflammatory bowel disorder

• Inflammation in the membranes of the brain causes Headache and migraine

• Inflammation at the skin can cause Eczema, Hives and Psoriasis

The Power of a Journal to find Your Food Intolerance

A journal puts system into your exploration. It's easy. All you do is track your symptoms as you switch a few foods.

We recommend the purpose-designed Proving Journal in  the foodintol^® LoTox Living Kit

Temporary relief treatment: You can keep taking daily medications like anti-inflammatories or supplements from the pharmacy for a few hours relief. Some people choose to keep using creams and lotions. Unfortunately - few doctors ever realise there could be food toxins behind the outbreaks - because food intolerance is not taught extensively in medical schools. So doctors miss a real chance to help  their patients.

Permanent cure: Choose the natural no-drug alternative. Start avoiding the actual cause of your eczema by learning how to substitute for other yummy things. These days there are so many great substitute foods - it's easy to avoid the problem ones. And the good news is  - eczema can begin healing within a week or two, and no new outbreaks begin.

You can choose to do nothing of course. But untreated food intolerance leads to chronic symptoms (those you suffer every day of your life) which can develop into chronic inflammatory disease.

In fact eczema is actually a valuable warning sign - like a Red Flag - that you will develop further symptoms later in life.
