Do you have Eczema or suffer from it?

Did you try drinking alkaline water for a period of time, and see how it has improve on the skin and Eczema issue.

If simply drinking more water can solve the Eczema problem, then all the parents in this thread wouldn't have face that issue and talk about it here.

Btw, I don't believe in paying $3-5k for those high end alkaline water machine.

I do not suffer from eczema as I drinks at least 3 litres of plain water each day, everyday.

Anyway I should correct what I said earlier, I meant to say that there is no scientific proof that drinking alkaline water has any more benefits to our bodies than drinking plain water.[/quote]My elder boy used to hv very bad skin condition as a toddler. Really heartache to see the redden skin patches, scratching, etc.

A China TCM physician told me as long as we build up the immune system, skin irritations will lessen in frequency and severity. If we adopt a restrictive diet but do not get the necessary nutrients from other safe sources, then the body will not be able to renew itself quick enough to fend off allergens causing skin irritation.

I myself suffer from eczema on and off, esp so if I eat sth that contains artificial sweetener.

Alkaline water might be a safer alternative to normal tap water for some of us.

In my humble opinion, scientific research are never conclusive.

Although this is out of context, I know of 2 cancer patients who went for quality supplement to cure their cancer and not chemotherapy (as it is harmful) as they believe in the quality of the supplement. If they were to depend on scientific proof on the supplement then they would have died from cancer.

Right food source, right nutrition, right water intake etc can and help us improve or cure the root cause of problems like Eczema.

Just like this famous doctor who wrote many books on nutritional and preventive medicine, can find his books in the book store.

Harlequin:

After she started playing tennis, things got worse, she literally scratches herself bleeding.... :sad: Then we brought her for another allergy test, this time, it turned out to be she is allergic to her own perspiration :faint: ... (that's no way to avoid sweating.)

A few years ago, I had very bad flare up during the hot months that I had to ask the doctor for steroids injection. Realised that some of my T-shirts were not 100% cotton. I threw all those away and bought new ones which are 100% cotton. After which, I suffered once a year during the very hot months. Now the condition sometimes come back, but severity is definitely lesser, no need for steroid injection, topical cream is able to rid the condition.

My sister has very bad eczema. She uses natural products, goes on an organic diet, almost no meat, only takes fish. If I am not wrong, she also avoids diary product. Her condition has improved substantially with the lifestyle change as well as relocating to the UK. The cooler weather also seems to help.


A friend’s kid’s condition improved after switching to alkaline water as well as wearing clothes infused with negative ions. They opted for alternative therapy as the skin is thinning from the steriod cream.

A family member’s condition improved after using La Mer.

Just wondering has anyone tried manuka honey for eczema?

[Coolkidsrock2]

Now that you mention it, it strikes me that my kids have less rashes (even on very hot days) when they take manuka honey. But experience a flare-up when they take raw honey.

My two gals suffered from eczema but the remedy for them is totally different. Some worked on both of them while some worked on one but not the other. Rice water is a cheap and good way to help reduce eczema flare ups.


Also, i had brewed sea horse & sea dragon for my #2. It does help but the sea horse is expensive and tough to get in Singapore.

my son has eczema… saw doc and was told to put moisturiser right after bath when body is still a bit wet after towel dry.

skin is indeed getting better now.

I never used to have it, so I thought it was normal rash until doctor told me I have eczema on my fingers triggered by constant exposure to washing detergents.

It comes back every time it seems to heal when I finishes the ointment prescribed. Was told to use gloves for washing purpose to minimize exposure, but can someone recommend a dishwashing detergent that is not too harmful? I am currently using UIC.
Thanks!
