Skin Condition ?

My husband has had a skin condition for over 20 years and seen many doctors, none of which can tell him what he has. If his chest or neck gets scratched or his skin rubbed off it develops into what looks like a blistering wound that grows and oozes yellow puss. He has ended up with a staph and strep infection two times in 6 months. We have drastically changed his diet the past few years, but when his skin is really bad he ends up with a prescription steroid cream. I just read today about the dangers of these creams. This go round he has taken goldenseal and oregan grape root to prevent infection and applied a salve with myrrh and goldenseal, yet it would not heal, hence he ended up with the cream. These places on his skin can grow to as big as his hand and when he moves his skin cracks and bleeds, it looks very painful and as a highway patrolman he has to wear a bullet proof vest which causes heat buildup. Do you think any of the creams you recommend would help? His condition is not dry skin, but oozing wounds that will not heal, that either come up on their own or when he gets scratched or bumped and his skin rubs off. Also, today he noticed bumps under his skin on his fingers that he sometimes gets, they are tender. What could that be? We feel after reading the article about steroids creams and the rebound effect that another break out is likely to occur soon. We really desire to get out of the cycle and only use natural things and see his skin heal. I am sorry this is so long, but I really long for some advice and direction. Thank you for any response you could give.

Thank you,
Hope

Hello Hope,

First, please do not feel the need to apologize for a letter of any length as I am here to help! I also commend you both for turning to natural remedies to resolve your husband's condition. Although I can't be sure without certain tests, it sounds as though your husband may have an ongoing case of bacterial infection such as impetigo.

Impetigo is a contagious skin infection that usually produces blisters or sores. Impetigo is generally caused by one of two bacteria: staphylococcus aureus or group A streptococcus. You mentioned that your husband has had a staph and a strep infection several times in the last 6 months. Most medical doctors will prescribe stronger and stronger antibiotics and steroids to try to destroy the bacteria but this only causes the bacteria to become more "resistant". Further, the side effects of steroid use are many and include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. Not only this, but steroid use almost always produces a "rebound effect" of the very symptoms you are trying to get rid of!

Since your husband's condition seems to be systemic, I am going to give you both external and internal recommendations.

Externally: Wash the affected area with our FACE & BODY WASH which is a hypo-allergenic and gentle wash which contains absolutely no chemicals or ingredients that can be toxic to the skin. Effective and deep down cleansing is important especially in a contagious skin condition. Then apply our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM which is a rich and natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-microbial cream that will help repair and restore the skin. It will also provide anti-itch properties and add a layer of protection again environmental influences. All of our products contain the very important ingredient, urea. In clinical studies, urea has been proven to heal serious wounds quickly and without any scarring. Further studies have shown tremendous anti-bacterial and anti-septic qualities which is critical in preventing skin infections.

Internally: To cleanse the bowels, our INTESTINAL BOWEL CLEANSER effectively removes impacted waste matter and toxic build up as well as assist in cleansing the liver and kidneys. This will greatly help to reduce bacteria growth as well as build and strengthen the immune system. To build the body systems, our GREEN POWERHOUSE provides the body with the widest array of vitamins, minerals and enzymes needed by the body to repair and replenish it and further causes lactobacilli, the good bacteria to multiply. This formula contains the highest amount of chlorophyll which further cleanses every cell as well as promotes healthy cell growth, functionality and development.

Please keep me posted on your husband's progress Hope and be sure to contact me with any further questions you may have.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
