As mentioned, the eczema is a symptom of what’s really going on. The body is trying to eliminate toxins in the body. For children, they probably received the toxins from the mother as she would have passed some of it on to her child (probably from father as well). Vaccines also contain toxins, such as mercury and other metals such as aluminum. Doing a cleanse would help… clean the blood through drinking certain teas such as stinging nettle tea or dandelion tea (would have to look more into it). For metals, one could take selenium, wild garlic, and chorella (in powder or tablette form). Then eventually cilantro to remove the metals from the brain. These are natural and non-invasive.

Aww! I wish I could give you a hug. No mother should have to watch her baby suffer with ANYTHING. :( I do think, though, that I understand a bit more of your dedication knowing your motivation. If my baby’s health and comfort depended on me to purify my diet and home 99% of the time, I would be on it!

I am making baby steps of progress though. If I could defeat the sugar monster, I would be so happy!

I’m so enjoying this series! My son doesn’t have excema but we have had digestive and skin issues since birth. He is also a horrid sleeper and I’ve often wondered if food plays a part there. I SO want to be healthier and I do think that compared to others we are. We just have financial restraints. I’m hoping you’ll share a little more about that in your future posts! Thanks for all of the information thus far!

Hi Holly. I saw the word “gobsmacked” and wondered if you’re in the
UK, since this is the only place I’ve heard that word. :-) I’d love
to know of others here who are eating natural foods.

Thanks, Laura, for sharing your wonderful ideas and recipes with the
world! It is making my family’s journey to healthy eating so much
easier. You are a blessing.

Thanks for this post, Laura. We got a lot of criticism from all sorts of people, too. Even the doctors were amazed, though, when my baby with “bad excema” turned out to have multiple, severe food allergies. I’m glad you figured out Malachi’s problems, and I am so happy that you are helping other parents and their children!

P.S. I am on the edge of my seat waiting to hear how you gave up Pepsi! I love Diet Pepsi -I know, I know, it’s terrible!- and I have cut down significantly but I haven’t been able to give it up. My kids have never had pop in their lives but it just picks me up like nothing else. I did order the big thing of lemons from Azure and am hoping some fresh lemonade will be enticing enough.
