What Does Dermatitis or Eczema Look Like?
Eczema or dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition marked by redness, itching, weeping, crusting, and skin pigmentation. Environmental factors such as soaps, detergents, shampoos, dust mites, pets, pollens, mold, bacteria, viruses, and fungi are a few causes of eczema. Heavy metals such as mercury and lead can be the root cause of systemic inflammation and eczema. Sensitivity to dairy, soy products, eggs, nuts and seeds, and wheat can cause eczema.
Emotional stress can also make your symptoms worse. Hormone imbalance affects the skin and worsens eczema. Many patients may suffer from dermatitis for years and go from doctor to doctor using only topical steroid ointments, salves and antibiotics but never get to the root cause of the condition.
Most patients with dermatitis suffer from leaky gut syndrome and dysbiosis (imbalance between good and back bacteria in the gut). They may have an overgrowth of yeast and sensitivity to it. It’s essential to rule out leaky gut syndrome, if present, treat it completely. Antifungals are sometimes used to treat candida and other fungal infections, which may be the underlying cause of dermatitis.
IV Chelation Therapy: An Effective Natural Treatment for Chronic Dermatitis.
We encourage patients to replace amalgam fillings safely and undergo IV chelation therapy to remove all heavy metals from their system. High-dose IV vitamin C protocol is also utilized in treating dermatitis. The intestinal function is optimized with supplements for eczema by using digestive enzymes, probiotics, glutamine, and aloe vera.
Holistic Treatments to fight Eczema:
- Strengthen your gut by taking probiotics and eradicating yeast and bad bacteria
- Take a high dose of Omega 3 fatty acids
- Chelate heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and aluminum
- Take digestive enzymes
- Treat parasites and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
- Take Glutamine and Zinc
- Eliminate allergenic foods such as gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs, or citrus fruits
