MSRA - Eczema - Steroid Creams Don't Help!

(Scotland)

Hi Nanette,

I write this email to you from my hospital bed in a dermatology unit here in sunny Scotland, having just discovered a MAJOR FACTOR which answers many questions about my eczema; indeed I feel I have discovered a cure (for myself at least).

So let me start at the beginning....

I'm 40 years of age having suffered from eczema since the age of 15. I would grade my eczema as medium severity with occasional severe flare ups. 3 months ago I suffered the mother of all flare ups. Despite plastering on potent steroids and avoiding other allegedly aggravating factors such as dust mites, processed foods, dairy products, soaps/gels etc., my skin continued to deteriorate until such time as I had little skin left. I was a burning mass resembling a Chernobyl fireman and my body was starting to shutdown. By the time my family got me to hospital my body was in shock; high blood pressure and heart rate etc. - the doctors recommended immediate intravenous steroids and antibiotics. I declined the steroids insisting instead that the root cause must be investigated; I felt that the answer may lie in bacteria on my skin; my justification for this being that I had ruled everything else out. So they took skin swabs which revealed the presence of MRSA. I started on anti-septic baths and within 4 days my skin was revolutionized. THE FLARE UP WAS CAUSED BY THE PRESENCE OF "BAD" BACTERIA ON MY SKIN. KILL THE BACTERIA AND YOU WILL CLEAR THE ECZEMA. No steroids required!

PLEASE PASS THIS INFO ON TO OTHER SUFFERERS AS I SURELY CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE AFFECTED IN THIS WAY.

Regards,
Mick

Hello Mick,

Thankfully, you are now recovering from such a life threatening situation! You mentioned that you suffered with eczema, of medium severity, for 25 years. In this amount of time, you have used steroid creams and ointments and I would imagine that the strength of these prescriptions became more and more potent over the years. You have likely discovered that there are so many dangerous side effects from using steroid creams. These include: thinning of the skin, discoloration, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system.

You mentioned you were diagnosed as having MRSA. For our website viewers let me explain that MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. This organism is known for causing skin infections in addition to many other types of infections. There are two major ways people become infected with MRSA. The first is physical contact with someone who is either infected or is a carrier (people who are not infected but are colonized with the bacteria on their body) of MRSA. The second way is for people to physically contact MRSA on any objects such as door handles, floors, sinks, or towels that have been touched by a MRSA-infected person or carrier. Normal skin tissue in people usually does not allow MRSA infection to develop; however, if there are cuts, abrasions, or other skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and many other itchy, dry skin conditions, MRSA may proliferate as an opening in the skin allows this bacteria to infiltrate the body. One major problem with MRSA is that occasionally the skin infection can spread to almost any other organ in the body. When this happens, more severe symptoms develop. MRSA that spreads to internal organs can become life threatening. The anti-septic baths you had for 4 days helped to destroy the MRSA bacteria wreaking havoc to your skin and the antibiotics worked on removing the bacteria internally.

Although, not every skin condition is caused by bacteria, every skin condition can be worsened by this dangerous addition. Scratching and bleeding are typical results of trying to endure itchy, dry and inflamed conditions which unfortunately, makes an opening for bacteria to enter. This is why the right remedy is so very important in the repair and care of the skin. Natural creams, cleansers and shampoos that have anti bacterial, anti microbial and anti fungal properties are critical when eczema or any skin condition needs to be treated. This is how we have formulated all of our products so that they protect the skin from becoming infected while they repair the condition.

I am thrilled that you are recovering and please continue to protect your skin from any further bacterial infection and do keep me posted on your progress Mick!

Warm Regards,
Nanette
