Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Excema: I noticed no one had responded to the parent with the excema problem so I thought I would give it a try. My daughter has a little eczema also. Hers gets worse when she eats sugar, transfats, white flour, and pasteurized cheese. It gets better when we are eating at home more and getting more salads, raw veggies and raw fruits than when we have a hectic week and have fast food french fries or nachos. Juicing (making my own juice with a juicer) also helps, an Omega 3 oil supplement and probiotic supplements. Oh, and she was muscle tested recently and we found she is allergic to citrus -- so we have been avoiding that. I believe eczema usually can't be cured by applying something topically. Cortisone cream doesn't cure it (you probably already know this) but it does suppress the symptoms by suppressing the immune system. I agree with a saying (and I can't remember how it goes) about the fact that whatever is happening on the outside is indicative of problems on the inside. This can include a leaky gut, liver overloaded with toxins, acid body state, allergies (caused by one of the previous problems or something else). Topically, though we have been applying Aquaphor by Eucerin lately and it helped heal her knees to the point that she couldn't pick at them anymore and keep them from healing on their own. I was thinking about trying Traumeel (a homeopathic ointment) when the Aquaphor is gone. I have also found, in the past, that Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (some D.O.s are trained in this) has help. In fact, one time after one OMT appointment her eczema disappeared from her lower legs within a week and was gone for a year. Now it is back, but it is a small patch on her knees and elbows and usually doesn't itch. I was thinking about taking her to a Craniosacral Therapist this time (there is one nearby that I take my son to) because it is similar to OMT. If anyone else has any thoughts on this, please let me know. I am always trying to learn new and better ways to help my daughter with her excema.

I tried to do some research on the net but i didn't find much except for a 1999 story on one hospital with a very low rate. Does anyone know of a website group or such that can point me in the right direction. My first son was born vaginally but i had to fight tooth and nail for it. I had to face an entire staff that was intent on cutting me up injecting me and drugging me. I would appreciate the input... - Stephanie Tuesday, April 29, 2003 3:29 PM Re: Exema I don't know exactly what herbs are in it but I strongly recommend using a hepi cleanse douche. A good freind who tested GBS positive used it and 3 weeks later tested neg. Three weeks after that she was still neg. Now, for planning to use antibiotics during labor. That's not evidence based care. In other words " it ain't broke, yet your doctor wants to fix it " . The situation in which being GBS positive is a risk is if you've experienced premature rupture of membranes. In that case you can safely go up to 12 hours before there is a legitimate cause for concern. To place you on IV antibiotics when it is not medically indicated is as I said before not evidence based care and can in fact do harm. The fluid IV can increase your fluid levels to the point that it will decrease your heart rate and/or that of your baby. That's when the cascade of interventions begins. A dropping heart rate leads to the physician rupturing your membranes and/or pitocin which leads to an epidural which leads to your labor slowing which is dangerous because you're GBS positive which than leads to the surgical birth of your baby. This may sound like a gross exaggeration but sadly, it happens every day. I encourage you to look into hepi cleansing, I encourage you to refuse all vaginal exams which are also not medically indicated and will give the GBS bacteria a free ride right up to your cervix when it probably wasn't there to begin with (Trust me, if you're in labor you'll know it you don't need a digital exam to tell you). ask your doc what their c-section rate is, better yet, consider switching providers, after all you're buying a service, it should meet your needs. Most importantly I strongly encourage you to read anything and everything you can get your hands on about GBS, pre- natal care and birth choices. I wish you and your babe health and hapiness.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 In Sandra's message hb stands for Home Birth. The ever growing body of research done by the medical establishment (among others) concludes that home is the safest place to give birth for both mothers and babies. Anyhow, a good resource for finding out the rates of cearean births is ICAN the international cesarean awareness network. Their web address is www.ican-online.org If you have done your research and still believe that a medicalized birth is best for you and your baby having a mid-wife attend your birth will greatly reduce your chances for an unnecessary c-section and may reduce other unecessary medical interventions as well. Best of luck to you and the little vegetarian Stephanie , " Hembadoon Foluke " <ayiti_cherie@h...> wrote: > i suppose mw=midwife although clueless what hb stands for, but please recommend away! > - > Sandra Mort > > Monday, May 19, 2003 11:37 AM > Re: Re: Exema > > > May I recommend a lovely hb mw in NYC? > > Sandra > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
