Itchy skin with rash – a wholistic pharmacist’s perspective.
Itchy skin with rash
This vexatious condition can respond well to the approach we follow using complementary medicine. The important point to remember is that you need some patience in going through the process necessary to achieve a wellness outcome. That is because we need to not only treat the symptoms of Itchy skin with rash (the inflammation and the itch) but also we need to identify and tackle the underlying causes (as with all of our treatments of chronic illnesses).
That is why we have developed Wade’s Itchy skin with rash Cream .This exciting all-natural breakthrough in the treatment of Itchy skin with rash works by addressing major underlying causes of the disease at skin level as well as the inflammation itself.
You will also need to be treated for leaky gut. Email us for information on the best way to go about doing this and ask our practitioner why we recommend that you do it.
Itchy skin with rash is a scourge that seems to be growing in incidence and severity year by year. Childhood Itchy skin with rash is the “canary in the birdcage” of tendency to auto-immune disease generally. It may be associated with leaky gut. Further, those born with Itchy skin with rash will tend to develop an auto-immune disease as an adult. This article is designed to show how this development may be prevented. Natural therapy is useful in addressing the underlying causes and helping to eliminate them, thus offering a chance of a cure.
Many of my observations have been made from 25 years of seminars given by professionals from Robert Buist and David Rutollo to Ian Brighthope, Archie Karakinos, Jeffrey Bland, Ewen Cameron through to the modern era of Paul Mannion, Brendon Penwarden, Henry Osiecki, and a number of industry-sponsored “schools of the air”, all presenting peer-reviewed works. Nutrients that spring to mind that have been associated with skin health in the past include the following.
• Zinc. Whether applied topically in a cream or ointment base, zinc has been listed as an anti-inflammatory in relation to skin disorders since Martindale was a boy. Zinc tablets and solution are now recommended as supplements. The dose varies according to age. One precaution might be that, in significant doses, it should be taken on a full stomach. It’s good to remember that zinc solution was used as an emetic way back in the age of Dinosaurs when I graduated. The properties of zinc are diverse. Its universal utility value resides in the fact that it activates 120-plus enzymes somewhere in the vast molecular network of gel trabeculae-bound organelles bathed in the amino acid soup firing off up to 24,000 chemical reactions simultaneously that is one of your 50 trillion cells. It binds protein, makes prostaglandins, activates leukocytes, activates insulin and makes taste buds taste. Therefore it is safe to say that it’s action is supportive to homoeostatis.
• Omega-6 fatty acids. Evening Primrose Oil was discovered to be valuable in Itchy skin with rash as an internal nutrient by none other than Alexander Fleming, co-discoverer of penicillin. [According to tongue-in-cheek colleague David Horrobin, he turned to other natural discoveries that he then patented as nobody thought to reward him financially for discovering the wonder drug of the century – penicillin – and thereby being responsible for saving countless millions of lives. Legalism had struck and he didn’t take out a patent on it, preferring to give it to the world].
There is much literature support for the benefits of this humble oil being successful in reducing inflammation when used topically or internally.
• Marine Lipid omega-3 oil. According to the Nutrition Almanac, omega-3 oils should provide 50% of your dietary intake of lipids yet it struggles to make 1% in today’s society. Taking EPA/DHA and even also applying creams containing this can only help produce lovely walls in your lipid-loving skin cells (or any cells for that matter).
• Vitamin A in small doses aids in healthy skin cell construction. We know that because deficiency can lead to breakdown of skin tissue – just the same as an overdose can. Being a fat-soluble vitamin, it works with zinc (again!) as its retinol-binding protein ligand.
• Vitamin C – the traditional anti-scurvy factor. What do you finish up with when you get scurvy – Itchy skin with rash. Enough said really except to say that vitamin C deficiency in our bountiful society is more common than you might think. I refer you to studies occasionally trotted out – initiated by Emanuel Cheraskin and Archie Karakinos in the eighties but performed regularly since – to show, amongst other things, that some oranges from THOSE supermarket chains contain zero vitamin C.
• Bioflavonoids are always useful in diminishing inflammatory response. They block histamine and assist the absorption and action of vitamin C in your cells in supporting the healthy growth of tissue as well as quench free radicles. They occur in fruits, pith, citrus seeds and green tea.
• Biotin. This turns up in the pith of citrus fruits but is deactivated by the avidin in egg white. So, if you like OJ and eggs, be prepared for diminished biotin absorption to add to the possibility of zero vitamin C.
• Colostrum. This will start to mop up gut overgrowth of unwanted pathogens, such as anaerobes, strep, staph, enterococci, TB, parasites and protozoan flagellates. It also helps to re-build the gut mucosa and helps add active tissue mass generally as the 100% NUP value of its amino acids are in perfect proportion for tissue construction. Also, as its antibodies are identical to human antibodies, there is no potential for immune complications. Additionally, because there is less demand placed on endogenous TH2 production, then by default it reduces systemic inflammation.
• Probiotics. Acidophilus and Bifidobacter lactis were used for this purpose. But bear in mind that I have heard various quotes at gut conferences from120 to over 400 different organisms constitute a good hierarchy of gut flora, so restoration of bugs will remain an unfinished symphony in any atopic child’s life. LGG strain has been discovered recently and is a specific for atopic skin rashes.
• Glutamine. This is added to the colostrum as it is said to be the major amino acid of significance in gut repair.
• Phytosterol complex – conifer. This is used in natural therapy as an anti-inflammatory and is said to also have antihistamine properties.
• If one works on the commonly held hypothesis that one inherits an atopic gene by choosing the wrong parents, then one may observe this in living action in the case of a mother and child. When I am asked such a question of a child, it is often a secondary enquiry from a mother who is seeking nutritional advice for herself. Take the case of 2 ½ YO baby, K G. His mother asked for a good nutritional regime to prep her for a second pregnancy. Meanwhile, during our conversation, she popped the question to me regarding an Itchy skin with rash treatment as she had “tried the usual prescribed creams but it kept returning” and being reluctant to use the steroidal applications indefinitely on the child she was anxious to “try something natural”. In researching this issue, I have to report discouraging news from the pioneer homoeopath Hahnemann who stated that the skin itch is the hardest pathology to cure (or words to that effect). However, the latest breakthroughs in nutritional therapy by Metagenics and others indicate that Itchy skin with rash was treatable using a more fundamental approach – treating the condition by using the usual nutritional approaches but assuming that the underlying cause was “leaky gut”. So, I approached it from that angle, knowing that the “kids are quick” philosophy of mine stemmed from Herring’s direction of cure, that, in summary, says that the longer you’ve had something the longer you’re stuck with it.
Wade’s Itchy skin with rash cream. Contains ingredients as described above. It costs $37.00
Supplement with all 105 elements at once in a smoothie
Our Green Smoothie contains every element that is mentioned above. It is a complete food in that sense. It tastes very nice, according to our consumer survey. These are all elements that your body cannot make for itself. You rely on the diet and water supply entirely for these. Read more.
Restore mineral balance. We suggest that the most efficient way to do this is with our Wade’s Mineral Capsules. These capsules have been formulated to provide all 72 of the minerals or trace elements that your body needs – not just a few that are seen in popular “multivitamins”. And they are made in our own lab. Our mineral capsules give you your daily calcium needs also as well as the dozens of trace elements that drive your body’s myriad of chemical “systems” within your cells that are critical to health. Importantly, they are balanced in the proportion that the body needs them. They cost $59 for a month’s supply.
Treat leaky gut. A simple test determines whether or not you have this condition. If you do, it is well worth finding out and treating it with Wade’s Healthy Gut Mix. This Gut Mix is also made in our lab. and is a special “recipe” of ingredients that is designed to treat and restore your gut to normal. This enables normal digestion and assimilation of vital nutrients from your diet. Incidentally, pathology labs charge over $100 for this test. Our price? $26.00.
Eliminate possible food allergy. Food allergy can be a major cause of leaky gut and you may be prone to this issue when your immune system is at a low ebb. A simple in-house test will help us to determine the probable range of foods that you can tolerate and thrive on and also those that are not good for you. The test costs $12
Foods for atopic people. We have especially devised the lists of compatible foods and those that are not recommended for your phenotype. We issue these according to the results of the tests. Cost: $25,00
Test for low zinc reserves. Zinc can be deficient in your diet and your body needs lots of it at this time. If it needs replenishing, then it must be accompanied with five select nutrients that work along with zinc in your body. Supplementing with zinc on its own may be dangerous. That’s why we manufacture our own Zinac capsules in the lab. The test costs $10. The capsules cost $39 for one month’s supply.
Assess for vitamin deficiency. One of the causes of what I laughingly call “teenage schizophrenia” is deficiency of certain of the B group vitamins. We can go a long way to determining if your child or you are suffering from a dietary deficiency of these by filling in our “Nutrition Assessment” questionnaire. You can obtain one of these by contacting our office. If you believe that supplementing with vitamins is for you, we make a pleasant-to-take vitamin powder that is fizzy when you dissolve it in water. The fizzy stuff is all natural. It is popular with children and adults and – you guessed it – is balanced. I have resorted to making this myself because it is vital to ensure that B group vitamins are combined in the correct proportion that the body requires to absorb them evenly. If you include too much of any one, it can crowd out the absorption sites in the gut and prevent absorption of one or more of the others. This may result in an induced deficiency and cause deficiency illness – as well as toxic symptoms of overdose of the offending one included to excess. Our vitamin powder includes traces of all of the minerals as well as the natural bioflavonoids found in plants that always accompany vitamins in nature and costs $49 for one month’s supply.
Children and supplements. Just to ease your mind and put you in the picture, it is known that children over the age of 2 Years Old require 80% of the intake of vitamins and minerals of a grown adult. So, they can have some of the Vitamin Powder as well, quite safely because – you guessed it again – it is balanced for optimum absorption and assimilation of the nutrients contained within.
