Corticosteroids, the most common conventional treatment, work by suppressing the skin’s natural reactions. They can cause thinning of the skin, infections, stunted growth in children, stretch marks, and more serious problems. “The detox that the skin is trying to express gets suppressed, so it gets driven into a deeper layer of the body, and the next layer in from the skin is the lungs,” says Robin DiPasquale, ND, RH (AHG), chair of the Botanical Medical Department at Bastyr University outside Seattle. “That’s why we see people treated with cortisone cream show up a few years later with asthma.” In fact, approximately 75 percent of children with AD will go on to develop asthma or hayfever.Technorati Tags: eczema, skin care
Instead of stifling the body’s responses, DiPasquale tackles the problem at its source: the immune system.
Cathy, I love your site! Our little boy who is four has suffered from severe food allergies and Eczema since he was a baby. It has been so hard for all of us to go through and we tried everything to help him. He saw doctors of all kinds, children's hospital, holistic approaches, herbs, meds and creams and steroids. We became more and more frustrated to see our little one on these potent creams and meds and no other options in sight. We found a doctor who was terrified of the high doses of steroids that an allergist had been giving him and we knew we had to find something safe. He started on a children's chewable probiotic called Vidazorb and we saw relief very quickly from it. He loves it like candy and we love it because our son is no longer so sick and itchy. I think these drugs were hurting his body and feel so blessed to have found help in treating the cause and not just symptoms.
