Hello Nicole,

Although Lichen Planus generally affects the skin and mouth, it can affect hairy areas such as the scalp in rare cases. This is called Lichen Planopilaris, and can lead to redness, irritation, and in some cases, permanent hair loss.

I will tell you that although the cause of Lichen Planus is not known, there are many theories to explain it. Most health care professionals believe it can be classified as an autoimmune disease. This means that white blood cells which usually fight germs begin to attack the normal parts of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails. There are cases of lichen planus-type rashes which occur as allergic reactions to medications for high blood pressure, heart disease, and arthritis. Identifying and stopping the drug helps clear up the condition within a few weeks. Some people with Lichen Planus can also have hepatitis C which, of course, can be checked for it.

Steroid creams, steroid shampoos and ingestible steroid drugs not only DO NOT heal this condition but also have many harmful and devastating side effects. These side effects can include: thinning of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system.

My suggestions that I will share with you will include both internal as well as external recommendations in order to build your sister's health inside as well as outside.

1) It is important to take our INTESTINAL BOWEL CLEANSER (capsule or powder form), twice daily, to remove impacted waste matter and toxic build up as well as assist in cleansing the liver and kidneys. This will greatly help by building and strengthening the immune system.

2) Ingest our GREEN POWERHOUSE, several times per day, to provide the body with the widest array of vitamins, minerals and enzymes needed by the body to repair and replenish. This formula also contains the highest amount of chlorophyll which further cleanses every cell as well as promotes healthy cell growth, functionality and development.

3) At night before bedtime, rub in our specially formulated therapeutic DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM into the parts of the scalp affected. This double strength formula is all natural and penetrates the thicker skin of the scalp deeper and faster and has tremendous anti-itch properties. Allow the cream to absorb overnight into the 7 layers of scalp tissue.

2) Next, wash the hair and scalp with our HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT which is hypo-allergenic and filled with nutrients. These 2 products, together, will unpack dry damaged cells to the deepest part of the scalp and restore much needed moisture and regain a healthy balance once again thus preventing hair loss.

Once her scalp condition is repaired she need only use the HERBAL SHAMPOO TREATMENT to keep her scalp healthy and problem free.

Please keep me posted as to her results Nicole.

Warm Regards,
Nanette

Hello Penney,

How wonderful that you are interested in bowel cleansing for your children. I will say that our INTESTINAL BOWEL CLEANSER is actually formulated for adults 18 years and older. I would recommend searching on the web for a colon cleanser that is specially formulated for children and hopefully you will find something natural and great for kids.

Best wishes in your search!

Warm Regards,
Nanette
