Can living on the coast help eczema? | From sallylforrest [Log on to view profile] | on 2005-05-03 |

Can anyone tell me if moving to a coastal/beachy area will help reduce eczema flareups? We're seriously contemplating on moving to CHARLESTON, SC to help our 2 yr old who has severe eczema. He also has Reactive Airways disease and fatal nut allergies.
PLEASE POST ASAP!! We're desperate!

Hi Sally,
Rather than moving to coastal area, why dont you try homeopathy?
Homeopathy has real good remedies for skin conditions.
As far as moving to coastal area is concerned, he might be helped, or not atall. Also, its effects on his respiratory system should be considered. Indivisual responses always vary.
Take care... | | |

I have tried some homeopathy possibilities in the recent months. The problem is, he was in such great distress that needed a lot of medical help, that I'm not sure which help gave him more relief. We have talked to several people who have severe allergies (such as sinus infections, not eczema) who swear that coastal areas clear them up instantly. There is too much to list here to say all that we have gone through. I've just been reading as much as possible to try different things. I'm also currently giving him Flax Oil daily as that was another good source for many eczema patients.
Thanks for your input!

Please do not expect instantly. High hopes can be crushed and too traumatic.
If you go to the east coast, remember that one can burn in an hour at the beach. Must take small doses at first. White T shirts not a good idea. Darker colors are better. A black umbrella is good. The burn comes from the reflection on the water more than the sun.
The sun-block lotions may not be good for the child's skin condition.
The humidity can be both good and bad. It depends how the child reacts.
Homeopathy is really good for conditions like this. It is the result of vaccines, i.e. "baby shots" full of mercury. And antibiotics and steriods.
Also all the allopathic meds will give temporally relief because they suppress it inside the body, to bounce out later and one thinks it is just another outbreak. It is the same outbreak.
The more allopathic antibiotics and steroids given, the longer it will last.

IN addition, I can "hear" your anxiety in the writing and I must tell you that the child reacts to this even if you think you have been calm.
I had an asthmatic that nearly died before the age of one. If I was anxious at all, he was seriously worse.
Children respond to the parents anxiety. All things must be dealt with in a "matter of fact" kind of attitude, while you are secretly watching carefully.
Remain cheerful and distract him often. My son had a rocking chair and a blankie, and special stuffed toys that was to comfort him. We would set him in the middle of the room so everything was moving around him, distracting him.
Having 3 sons and he was the youngest, we had a lot of animals. Some pet rats too. Wesley would rock a rat and it was very distracting. Stupid rat would lie on it's back and go to sleep.
When he was 18 he asked me why he had an urge to buy a rat??? I reminded him of the rocking rat, and he saw that he didn't really need one. We had rats to breed to feed the babies to the snake! Ahh, yes, the boys had a bunch of this and that.
