Exactly what I’m having right now…. Currently following a homeopathy treatment besides eating healthy, I feel everything is worse than ever… hopefully it gets better 🤗 thank you for your kind words in this video!
Oh my gosh this video explains exactly what I'm feeling right now. I havent eaten so many of my favorite foods in 5 months and everytime it shows great signs of healing, it will come back full force and put me down so badly. Another thing that makes me frustrated is that literally no one else in my family (I have a twin brother) has this issue and they dont really get eczema and that it's not a linear process like I'm going to get flareups. Im so so grateful for your knowledge that you share through your videos and your support!
Thank you for sharing your appreciation Cassie! It brings me so much joy to know I can support you from afar! It can be extremely lonely when it seems like you are suffering alone, but as you can tell from the comments and my experience, you are not alone and you can heal from inside out and you will be ok, you are ok :)
5 months !😭😭I’ve been eating completely healthy for like a few weeks and I’m struggling so much,and I thought eating healthy would atleast help me a little bit,I thought my body will starting healing slowly after a few weeks,so grateful for your knowledge dawn!😭🥺I have hope because of you
It's so hard to be peaceful inside when my skin flare-up persists and even worsens . However, your encouragement in this video is like "cold water to a weary soul" as it says in Proverbs 25:25. Thank you for the encouragement!
My eczema flared up a few months ago amd I took steroids both pills and creams, it became a cycle of taking steroids, reflaring, until i did research and found out the damage i was doing to myself. Now my eczema is the worst it's ever been and it's still getting worse, I've spent alot of money I don't have on this issue,I'm getting insomnia, I feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, I've fallen into depression, but after watching ur videos I've been inspired to put in more effort to helping my body heal, I just started my healing diet, and I promise I'll be patient with myself. Thank you so much Dawn.
Am literally crying my eyes out as am watching you.. My son has atopic dermatitis and it's infected now.. I try my possible best to help but it keeps worsening. Sometimes I don't let him go to school because it's embarrassing having sores all over his face. My heart aches when I see all the marks on his body but you just gave me HOPE. Thanks so much.. A day is coming i will tell you he's fine now. I have totally changed his diet so fingers crossed
Dear Dawn, I can’t thank you enough for all the support, information and *hope* you keep on giving us with your wonderful videos. To say that I’m grateful to find your account is an understatement. I’ve had eczema since I was a baby, now I’m 20 years and I hate it. It took most of my confidence, i was embarrassed and ashamed of it(I have it on my feet). I still am. But your story gives me hope. If you had it all over your body and cured it, i can. I just need perseverance. Right now, I’m having a *Huge* flare up and I was eating good! I also have stomachache and my stomach feels “funny”. I don’t know it it’s related to my eczema or some kind of food poisoning, when only my feet eczema flare up and my belly kinda aches? I hope it’s eczema related and means I’m healing🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dear Ariana, thank you for your kind words. Comments like that keeps me sharing my experience and knowledge. :) YES! Your body will heal, stay on the right track and be very patient. Do see a functional/naturopath doctor near you so that you will be confident on your path and make sure all is well. Food poisoning or not, make sure to drink enough liquids :) Take care!
This is exactly what I needed to hear! Had a bad breakout the other day and I was so frustrated with my body and diet- what a way to change my mindset! Thank you 😄
Thank you so much for this video, Dawn! I keep forgetting that healing is not a linear process. You're right that thinking positive thoughts will make the journey easier. I appreciate all the encouragement!!
Hi my dear, i am mother of 17year old who is suffering from atopic by birth. Recently it was controlled. But past 1 month he is having flare ups.I am getting mad...after seeing my son suffering. Now dr. prescribed some anti allergens and taking bath with salt water and he is applying steroid oinment alternate days because rashes are their.He is in grade 12 and he couldn't study properly. So i started searching about how to reduce...immediately got hooked up with your videos. Thankyou my dear...its such a relief after seeing your eczema videos..
Thankyou Dawn. I had some breakdown moments this week seeing my 20 months baby suffers every night because of eczema. I feel super helpless that i couldnt do much to ease her pain. I found your video so suddenly last night , i believe this is God's way to tell me that everything is going to be okay. Thankyou for sharing this much. You explain everything so clearly. Wishing you health and happiness with your family!
Very useful to understand our body Cleared many disbelieves Our body heals itself mostly But becoz of our bad food habits and ignoring some body signals , eczema like disorders flare up U explained everything in such a way no one will deny what u said is so true, not only fir eczema , it’s very good for our all over health issues
Keep the area dry and apply a very light skin lotion ( i mix in a little bit of neosporin with lotion). If u have exzema on your hands make sure you dry your hands right away never let skin soak in water for too long. This is my experience.
Thank you for this video. I cried while watching because you understand the healing crisis experience. I have excema on my hands and arms. I have noticed that applying castor oil to my hands and wearning gloves is helping me during the healing process.
There are these things called salicylates, container in fruits and I believe, some vegetables. If you eat these otherwise healthy foods, you will have an eczema tic reaction, until you detox from these salicylates.
Hi Dawn!! Thanks for the video. I have completely changed my diet for the better and starting healing spiritual and emotional wounds. But Ive been hit with a huge healing crisis, and I really want to use a bit of steroid creams (I am aware of how ez they are to abuse) to relieve some symptomatic pain. Do u think healing excema is possible while using some steroids to relieve pain and itch? ❤
I'm not a medical professional so..this is just my experience. Personally, I think topical..mayyyybe not too bad but oral steroids, the withdrawal symptoms were wayyyy worse than the eczema I initially experienced. I won't use it but that's because mine is never so bad anymore..so..I'd say last resort.. Also, consider something that could be triggering or go easier on the detox, sometimes I think too big of a reaction could also mean our liver and kidney are struggling.
I have never had Eczema in my life before. However, after a lot of loss in my life, including the death of my husband, and unbelievable stress, I suddenly had a flare up of eczema on my one leg. I find that using a capful of Betadene (iodene) mouth wash, mixed with a little water (boiled, not straight from tap) and using a wad of cotton wool to Dan and wipe onto effected area, takes the inflammation away, and stops the itch. I do this 3 times a day. The Betadene I use has iodene in it so make sure you are not allergic to iodene if you want to give it a try, or speak to your doctor or medical worker first. It works for me but best get a second opinion before trying it on your own eczema. Bio oil is supposed to help the dryness... Haven't tried it yet...anyone got advice on Bio oil?
Hi dawn! Thanks for all these videos, I’ve been watching all your videos on eczema. Do you think it’s ok to use steroids to repress my flare ups while taking probiotics, changing diet, etc?
Well..that's a hard one..our bodies produces steroids naturally but if we take it constantly, our bodies don't really produce them the way they naturally would anymore..so you can do that but I'm not too sure if it helps as eventually, you may still need go through (Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). Consult a naturopath doctor if you can! If you are steroids dependent, you must taper off slowly. It's very dangerous to just stop suddenly.
I'm glad you are doing your research. Yes, it is great as an anti inflammatory if you are generally healthy but it does bring a heat element according to Ayurveda and from my experience, it also does affect me when suffering from eczema. You can always give it a try, no one size fits all. Always listen to your body. My sharing is from an Ayurveda perspective. :)
Thank you so much for your compassion and Information you give. Actually i have a hard flare up covered my face, eyelid, neck arms ans hands. Lymph is coming out my hands and arms. This morning felt so bad and i am questioning: "Why, it was so good and now it is so bad again. Do I eat something wrong?" And then I saw your latest Video. Thank so so much. Should I let the condition pass over me? Without medication? So far, I have done it without medication. Thanks, Alex
Hey Alex, I'm so glad made you feel better :) Just a quick note, still be aware of what you eat right? Because it can still be something that may have caused it, if you ate something different. But if it was kept to the usual then it should be healing crisis :) If you've done it so far without medication, then there is no need but in case you ever need, see a functional medicine doctor who would treat the root cause and not just giving you pills to suppress and add more toxins to the body :)
Thank you so much. I am on my regular diet: 100% whole food and plant based. No exceptions. Now, it is two days later. My face is better now. But my hands are extremely bad. Lymph is coming out. Do you know what does it mean? Detoxification? I started my „whole food plant-based journey“ 60 days ago without the „no-foods“. Since my beginning it is the „second“ severe healing crisis. Is it normal? Thank you for your compassion and for your help. It makes me so happy. Alex
@@alexanderpapaliovski8595 I'm so happy you are feeling happy. That is SO important for healing! =) Yes, I had swollen lymph for quite some time during my healing because the body is really fighting very very hard. However, it's always good to get it checked professionally if you are concerned. Sorry I don't quite understand this statement "60 days ago without the „no-foods“. You meant you avoid the no foods? "without the no foods" means with the no foods? hahaah Sorry I'm confused! :p
@@dawnforlife :) I mean with the no foods = dairy, eggs, gluten, etc. Those bad foods for eczema. Your info makes me feel good. I'll be watching your upcoming videos. Thanks.
Hey Jennifer, anti histamine may help reduce the itch but not get rid of eczema. In my experience, it was very severe and didn't work for me at all. But it's definitely better to take some if someone cannot stop scratching and continuously follow a healthy lifestyle to detox the pill that is actually suppressing the symptoms. Not really getting rid of eczema.
I've never been on fast food that much.may be 5-6 times in a month.i mostly ate home made food.me and my father's eczema started when we almost ate packaged yogurt for about more than a year.also started freaking out ..went to doctor.gave me pills and creams.whenver I told the doctor that I noticed flare-ups after eating dairy.he just stared at me and looks like he doesn't have any idea why it happens.i cut out dairy, gluten.bt still it's not going away.since I live in a joined in laws home..I couldn't totally follow the way u do and I'm very scared to give up my pills.i did that once it came again and I couldn't work in my home bcz of my bloody cracked skin.im fed up, scared
Oh dear, I feel your pain..To be honest, 5-6 times a month of fast food is A LOT especially if you are suffering with health problems, I suggest cutting out all of that. You can still eat real whole foods living with in laws and offer to cook too, at least a dish or two then if people don't like it, at least you can have something healthy for yourself?
During my flare ups previously, I just let it be. Unless yours is very dry and the dryness makes it itchy, you can put some extra virgin coconut oil. :) For me, putting anything on them makes them itchier. If yours is cracking then you can use the serum or I mentioned in my eczema vid and check out the skincare vid :)
Hi Dawn! 😀 Thank you so much for your videos, they're really informative and helpful! 🙏 I really like and agree with what you're talking about. However, I think that it most applies to adults eczema, but what about children? My boy is 3 years old now, and he's got eczema since he was 2 months old. I would like to mention that he was breastfed for more than 15 months. Do you have any opinions about kids' eczema, please?
Hey Dobra! I'm glad you found it helpful. I too had bad eczema as a baby. To be honest, now that I've learnt more, though very controversial (but since you asked), I personally believe mine could be a reaction to vaccines. Not sure if your boy is vaccinated. Especially when that young. If it's a child already on solids, it could still be a gut issue. Having said that, what you consume in terms of food and products may also have an impact. I'm not a medical professional and all these are just guessing game. Perhaps search for a functional doctor near you to guide would be great :)
Hi Dawn! 😀 Thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciate it! Yes, my guessing is the same, that my boy got eczema as a side effect of the vaccination. I read so much and watched so many videos about eczema and my conclusion is that he developed it after he got his first vaccination. Otherwise, I don't understand how a breastfed infant would get eczema all of a sudden. Why not getting it before he was vaccinated? My real struggle now is to find a way to help my boy get through this, and I am really confident that I can find a way to heal my boy and help him get rid of the itchiness and all the pain that he's going through. Honestly, my heart eachs every time I see my little boy struggling not to scratch his little hands. He's really strong willed for a 3 year old! Thank you again for your kind reply Dawn! I wish you good health, all the best, and a lot of success in everything you do! 🌻🌺🌼
@@dobramihaela4121 If anything, I hope I can continue to be your source of hope. I had eczema and was so bad around 3 years old that my dad had to shaved off all of my hair. I only made the connections recently about the ingredients in vaccines when I got pregnant. I'm certain that your boy will find healing eventually because he has a great mama to guide him and with so much more available information out there. My mom did her best but at that time, it was more of "learn as she goes" since it's harder to find and learn about others' journey. Anyhow, I wish you very well and hope to continue to be of service whenever I can. Big hugs and hang in there, you are a great mom!
Hi again Dawn! 😀 First of all, I would just like to congratulate you on your baby!!! Bringing a new life into this world it's such a blessing and there are no words to describe the happiness that a child brings into our lives. I hope that you and your baby are well and that you are enjoying the motherhood 🤗 I'm so sorry I haven't congratulated you earlier, I was just too absorbed in my research... Yes, I'll keep watching your videos, as they are truly inspirational, and I'll keep my hopes high for when my boy will be healed🙏 I wish you and your family good health and all the best of luck in everything you do! ❤
@@dobramihaela4121 Hey Dobra, no worries AT ALL! It can get so overwhelming as a mama and so heartbreaking that you want to spend every second to help your little one. I totally understand that. Thank you so much for taking the time. Your gratefulness shines and I"m honoured to have your support as I support you :) I wish your family well and all the best as well!
"no matter how many steps backwards, forward is forward" T___T thank you for sharing this crucial and uplifting information dawn, i can feel your sincerity and warmth as someone who's experienced the worst for themselves and is now wishing positive energy to others on the same journey of healing. i'll carry this with me
It's not an infection..it's more of our immune system/detox channel being over burdened. Going vegan may not work for everyone, it's the quality of food and healing from inside out. I wish you patience and find your way naturally of what works for you. All the best and I wish you well. :)
Hello! I have been eating whole based food diet for almost a month now and I stop using steroid since. My eczema on my legs is trying to heal but I still get flare ups and starting to get rashes on my arms and my upper body. I got like open wounds on my armpit :( and I even use virgin coconut oil as my moisturizer and it still itchy… is it okay to take anti biotic for the open wounds? What should I do? Your video of telling my skin is trying to heal really encourages me to keep on going and keep positive. I hope I could get response from you regarding the anti biotic. Thank you!
Hi Dawn. I've been going vegan for 4 days and my eczema hunts me every night. I can't sleep and the itch keeps on bothering me. Can I apply steroid cream a little just to calm it down?😫 I'll continue to eat and live healthy everyday.
Hey Brendan, does it help when you apply the cream? If it does I think it should be ok so that you get enough rest. Then as you eat healthier over time, can try stopping again? :)
@@dawnforlife I didn't apply any steroid cream yet because I'm scared that it might ruin the whole process of healing. I feel like applying them in the early stages for healing and cut off them at the later stage to see if my skin still flares. Is it a good idea in your opinion?😷
Oh this is the same issue that I have,I’ve been eating good food only for the past few weeks,but I too don’t get even a few hours of sleep because of the itching,I too want to try the creams at least to calm it down,but I have the same worry as yours,I decided to just let it be as according to what darn says it seems that the body is in a healing crisis
Hello Dawn! What did you actually study? :) I definitely experienced healing crisis, my eczema got so much worse and itchier than it was before, but I am healed 98% now ;)
Hey girl! I still have no idea how to pronounce your name! hehe That's quite a hard question. If you meant for a bachelor's degree, I did a double major in Economics and International business but studied dance for a long time. Yoga teacher's training for one month in India and read about nutrition since I knew how to read? Studying German now and still "studying" everyday. I hope I kept it short enough with all you wanted to know. hehe 98% that's an achievement!!! :) Congrats sweetie!
@@dawnforlife Well.. many people outside of my province find my name hard, so don't worry! I would have to say it, for you to have a clue ;) Interesting! Smart one! Are you still doing something with your International Business/Economics major? I hopefully finish my major in International Business next year !
@@tjitskebetty haha! Thank you, as you are! :) To be honest..all my jobs was not degree related. hahaha! But the knowledge you earned never goes away. it becomes part of life and I live internationally and try to make a living so I guess it's put to good use? ahahahah
@@buttertoast7262 following the elimination diet of The eczema detox of Karen Fisscher. But I had much stress unfortunately which caused my eczema to come back. So managing stress while eating properly.
Hi ! Thank you very much :) i want to start probiotics but I would like to avoid having a flare up and be very sick because of healing during christmas holidays...so my question is, how long were you sick after taking probotics ? I wanna start at the right moment to not be sick at the worst moment haha thank you :)
Hi Betty, as much as I would love to tell you something certain, healing crisis is VERY different from one person to another. Some may get it after 3 days, some after 3 months. Having said that, you can always start on a small dose, like 2 pills a day so that any healing crisis will be very minimal. Then when you are ready, increase the amount, healing may happen faster but symptoms will be worse too. Wishing you healing and a blessed Christmas holiday! :)
@@dawnforlife Hi ! I think it started, It is extremely painfull, specially during the night. My face burns, my all body burns, it is impossible to not scratch and impossible to sleep. It's very hard to handle, i cried all night.. Do you think taking medicine like sleeping pills can go against the healing process? i really need to sleep or i will never go through it.. thank you
@@H3yY00u Although I think chemical pills are bad and your body will eventually need to detox it, it is important that you get sleep and is functional as much as possible. Have you ever considered a more natural pill like melatonin? Probably you can try that first. More natural. :) Take care Betty
Yes I’m becoming better and better I think Although my eczema will keep coming back, but I noticed that I come back milder a little bit every time. By the way, is it normal for my rashes only occur on my palm and sole?
Hey Dylan, I'm so happy that you are slowly healing and you can see that it's milder every time. As more and more toxins leave, there will be less to release over time. I feel joyful for you! :) Like I mentioned, your body is just detoxing, so it can be any part of your body getting that rash and if it is continuously improving then it should be gone soon :) Mine was the whole body and it slowly moved to just my legs. Everyone detoxes differently :)
How many probiotics u took stage 2 every day ? For me its very hard to find out which food is good for me . Right now i am on stage 2 , 80 percent gone and 20 percent remain in body and its itchy .
@@mdsanjidurrahman8038 You mean how many billion probiotics to take? haha I don't know, I go by pills hahaah Since you are just 20% remaining, you can take according to the box. The thing with healing crisis and probiotics is the more probiotics you take the more intense your healing crisis will but but it also cuts short the time of healing crisis (basically boosting immunity = more detox = more possible healing crisis). So either way..with a good diet, your gut in a healthy environment will also promote growth of good bacteria, which means over time you could stop taking supplements. As we know, it's quite pricey. So these days, I just have it spare around the house for when I feel like I might get sick, then I'll take for precaution. Otherwise, I don't take it that regularly anymore :p
@@wphitcha5973 Unfortunately it is the biggest part of my healing process. It just got way worse than before. It takes a lot of strength and positivity. It would be good to have some form of support like here in the comment section with our community and also in your life, from family and friends. If not, it's good to have a health professional support you not just in healing physically but also through the hardships of natural healing to assure you that you are doing the right thing :)
Hi Dawn, can we ask how to heal from severe eczema for my 2 years old daughter because cortisone, steroids, antibiotics and antihistamine are only working temporarily. We hope you can make a how to video. Thank you!
Hey Mark, I have videos on foods to eat/avoid and food ideas in my what I eat videos that I hope may help you feed your little one. If you are unfamiliar with nutrition needs, it may be a good idea to take your girl to a naturopath or functional doctor to make sure that she is eating well to heal and also getting the essential nutrients she needs for growing :)
Thank you. How long after taking probiotics did you start to notice an improvement? Asking for my son who started probiotics just a week ago and his eczema has flared considerably.
Hey Layl, it really depends from person to person. Some people start healing immediately and some take up to days or weeks. Plus also if you are not taking the probiotics I recommended, please ensure there are no fillers that could be causing the eczema flare up and thinking it's healing crisis. :)
Ahemhem(clears throat) 🤣 "The probiotics (and subsequent healing crises) that my sis educated my mom about." Because I learned up about all that when my confinement lady intro omx to me after Seth's birth 😉

You are so inspirational. I also want to go/move to Switzerland!
Thanks Marisa =) Where are you from? You know Switzerland is COLD right? hehehe :p
You are amazing learning alot about you to my aczema
Thank you! Hope you'll find healing soon!
Hi Dawn!! Thanks for the video. I have completely changed my diet for the better and starting healing spiritual and emotional wounds. But Ive been hit with a huge healing crisis, and I really want to use a bit of steroid creams (I am aware of how ez they are to abuse) to relieve some symptomatic pain. Do u think healing excema is possible while using some steroids to relieve pain and itch? ❤
I'm not a medical professional so..this is just my experience. Personally, I think topical..mayyyybe not too bad but oral steroids, the withdrawal symptoms were wayyyy worse than the eczema I initially experienced. I won't use it but that's because mine is never so bad anymore..so..I'd say last resort..
Also, consider something that could be triggering or go easier on the detox, sometimes I think too big of a reaction could also mean our liver and kidney are struggling.
Thank you 🙏💐
I have never had Eczema in my life before. However, after a lot of loss in my life, including the death of my husband, and unbelievable stress, I suddenly had a flare up of eczema on my one leg. I find that using a capful of Betadene (iodene) mouth wash, mixed with a little water (boiled, not straight from tap) and using a wad of cotton wool to Dan and wipe onto effected area, takes the inflammation away, and stops the itch. I do this 3 times a day. The Betadene I use has iodene in it so make sure you are not allergic to iodene if you want to give it a try, or speak to your doctor or medical worker first. It works for me but best get a second opinion before trying it on your own eczema. Bio oil is supposed to help the dryness... Haven't tried it yet...anyone got advice on Bio oil?

Hi, is christophers immucalm safe during pregnancy?
I Love you.you stopped me from giving up.😘
Awww, thank you Magda! Sorry I just saw your message now! :)
Hi dawn!
Thanks for all these videos, I’ve been watching all your videos on eczema. Do you think it’s ok to use steroids to repress my flare ups while taking probiotics, changing diet, etc?
Well..that's a hard one..our bodies produces steroids naturally but if we take it constantly, our bodies don't really produce them the way they naturally would anymore..so you can do that but I'm not too sure if it helps as eventually, you may still need go through (Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW). Consult a naturopath doctor if you can! If you are steroids dependent, you must taper off slowly. It's very dangerous to just stop suddenly.
@@dawnforlife Thanks so much for the advice!
Take care dear!
Meats and dairy cause many flare ups.
You said in the other video onion & garlic is not good for eczema but when I google its say good for anti-inflammation
I'm glad you are doing your research. Yes, it is great as an anti inflammatory if you are generally healthy but it does bring a heat element according to Ayurveda and from my experience, it also does affect me when suffering from eczema. You can always give it a try, no one size fits all. Always listen to your body. My sharing is from an Ayurveda perspective. :)
Thank you so much for your compassion and Information you give. Actually i have a hard flare up covered my face, eyelid, neck arms ans hands. Lymph is coming out my hands and arms.
This morning felt so bad and i am questioning: "Why, it was so good and now it is so bad again. Do I eat something wrong?" And then I saw your latest Video. Thank so so much.
Should I let the condition pass over me? Without medication? So far, I have done it without medication.
Thanks,
Alex
Hey Alex, I'm so glad made you feel better :)
Just a quick note, still be aware of what you eat right? Because it can still be something that may have caused it, if you ate something different. But if it was kept to the usual then it should be healing crisis :)
If you've done it so far without medication, then there is no need but in case you ever need, see a functional medicine doctor who would treat the root cause and not just giving you pills to suppress and add more toxins to the body :)
Thank you so much.
I am on my regular diet: 100% whole food and plant based. No exceptions.
Now, it is two days later. My face is better now. But my hands are extremely bad.
Lymph is coming out. Do you know what does it mean? Detoxification?
I started my „whole food plant-based journey“ 60 days ago without the „no-foods“. Since my beginning it is the „second“ severe healing crisis. Is it normal?
Thank you for your compassion and for your help.
It makes me so happy.
Alex
@@alexanderpapaliovski8595 I'm so happy you are feeling happy. That is SO important for healing! =) Yes, I had swollen lymph for quite some time during my healing because the body is really fighting very very hard. However, it's always good to get it checked professionally if you are concerned.
Sorry I don't quite understand this statement "60 days ago without the „no-foods“. You meant you avoid the no foods? "without the no foods" means with the no foods? hahaah Sorry I'm confused! :p
@@dawnforlife :) I mean with the no foods = dairy, eggs, gluten, etc. Those bad foods for eczema.
Your info makes me feel good.
I'll be watching your upcoming videos.
Thanks.
@@dawnforlife Yes, I avoid the no foods. Haha, I was confused, too.
If someone have an eczema i think that you should use sone anti -histamine tablet to get rid of eczema
Hey Jennifer, anti histamine may help reduce the itch but not get rid of eczema.
In my experience, it was very severe and didn't work for me at all. But it's definitely better to take some if someone cannot stop scratching and continuously follow a healthy lifestyle to detox the pill that is actually suppressing the symptoms. Not really getting rid of eczema.
I've never been on fast food that much.may be 5-6 times in a month.i mostly ate home made food.me and my father's eczema started when we almost ate packaged yogurt for about more than a year.also started freaking out ..went to doctor.gave me pills and creams.whenver I told the doctor that I noticed flare-ups after eating dairy.he just stared at me and looks like he doesn't have any idea why it happens.i cut out dairy, gluten.bt still it's not going away.since I live in a joined in laws home..I couldn't totally follow the way u do and I'm very scared to give up my pills.i did that once it came again and I couldn't work in my home bcz of my bloody cracked skin.im fed up, scared
Oh dear, I feel your pain..To be honest, 5-6 times a month of fast food is A LOT especially if you are suffering with health problems, I suggest cutting out all of that.
You can still eat real whole foods living with in laws and offer to cook too, at least a dish or two then if people don't like it, at least you can have something healthy for yourself?
Thank you so much Dawn😊 may i have to ask if what are you putting on youre skin, if you have flare ups?
During my flare ups previously, I just let it be. Unless yours is very dry and the dryness makes it itchy, you can put some extra virgin coconut oil. :) For me, putting anything on them makes them itchier. If yours is cracking then you can use the serum or I mentioned in my eczema vid and check out the skincare vid :)
Thankyou so much ! Greeting from Brasil !
Get well soon!💛😘
Hi Dawn! 😀
Thank you so much for your videos, they're really informative and helpful! 🙏
I really like and agree with what you're talking about. However, I think that it most applies to adults eczema, but what about children? My boy is 3 years old now, and he's got eczema since he was 2 months old. I would like to mention that he was breastfed for more than 15 months.
Do you have any opinions about kids' eczema, please?
Hey Dobra! I'm glad you found it helpful. I too had bad eczema as a baby. To be honest, now that I've learnt more, though very controversial (but since you asked), I personally believe mine could be a reaction to vaccines. Not sure if your boy is vaccinated. Especially when that young. If it's a child already on solids, it could still be a gut issue. Having said that, what you consume in terms of food and products may also have an impact. I'm not a medical professional and all these are just guessing game. Perhaps search for a functional doctor near you to guide would be great :)
Hi Dawn! 😀
Thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciate it!
Yes, my guessing is the same, that my boy got eczema as a side effect of the vaccination. I read so much and watched so many videos about eczema and my conclusion is that he developed it after he got his first vaccination. Otherwise, I don't understand how a breastfed infant would get eczema all of a sudden. Why not getting it before he was vaccinated?
My real struggle now is to find a way to help my boy get through this, and I am really confident that I can find a way to heal my boy and help him get rid of the itchiness and all the pain that he's going through. Honestly, my heart eachs every time I see my little boy struggling not to scratch his little hands. He's really strong willed for a 3 year old!
Thank you again for your kind reply Dawn!
I wish you good health, all the best, and a lot of success in everything you do! 🌻🌺🌼
@@dobramihaela4121 If anything, I hope I can continue to be your source of hope. I had eczema and was so bad around 3 years old that my dad had to shaved off all of my hair. I only made the connections recently about the ingredients in vaccines when I got pregnant. I'm certain that your boy will find healing eventually because he has a great mama to guide him and with so much more available information out there. My mom did her best but at that time, it was more of "learn as she goes" since it's harder to find and learn about others' journey.
Anyhow, I wish you very well and hope to continue to be of service whenever I can. Big hugs and hang in there, you are a great mom!
Hi again Dawn! 😀
First of all, I would just like to congratulate you on your baby!!! Bringing a new life into this world it's such a blessing and there are no words to describe the happiness that a child brings into our lives. I hope that you and your baby are well and that you are enjoying the motherhood 🤗
I'm so sorry I haven't congratulated you earlier, I was just too absorbed in my research...
Yes, I'll keep watching your videos, as they are truly inspirational, and I'll keep my hopes high for when my boy will be healed🙏
I wish you and your family good health and all the best of luck in everything you do! ❤
@@dobramihaela4121 Hey Dobra, no worries AT ALL! It can get so overwhelming as a mama and so heartbreaking that you want to spend every second to help your little one. I totally understand that.
Thank you so much for taking the time. Your gratefulness shines and I"m honoured to have your support as I support you :)
I wish your family well and all the best as well!
Excellent - thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful! :)
Have you tried to do acupuncture? Would it help get healed?
I would have a flare up every other day on my strict elimination diet. That’s a normal part of the healing process?
It could be or watch what you eat that may trigger it.
Thank you
You're welcome 😊
"no matter how many steps backwards, forward is forward" T___T thank you for sharing this crucial and uplifting information dawn, i can feel your sincerity and warmth as someone who's experienced the worst for themselves and is now wishing positive energy to others on the same journey of healing. i'll carry this with me
I'm so so happy to know it helps keep you going and gave you hope. Big hugs and sending love 💛
have you healed?
I went Vegan... and I still got flare-ups... Now I scratched so hard, I got staph infection... With my luck, I will die from this infection. :)
It's not an infection..it's more of our immune system/detox channel being over burdened. Going vegan may not work for everyone, it's the quality of food and healing from inside out. I wish you patience and find your way naturally of what works for you.
All the best and I wish you well. :)
Hello! I have been eating whole based food diet for almost a month now and I stop using steroid since. My eczema on my legs is trying to heal but I still get flare ups and starting to get rashes on my arms and my upper body. I got like open wounds on my armpit :( and I even use virgin coconut oil as my moisturizer and it still itchy… is it okay to take anti biotic for the open wounds? What should I do? Your video of telling my skin is trying to heal really encourages me to keep on going and keep positive. I hope I could get response from you regarding the anti biotic. Thank you!
Take probiotics instead! Antibiotics will mess more with your gut and make it worse long term. Not sure it even helps short term.
@@dawnforlife thank you so much for the reply. Okay I will do probiotics instead of antibiotics ❤️
Hi Dawn. I've been going vegan for 4 days and my eczema hunts me every night. I can't sleep and the itch keeps on bothering me. Can I apply steroid cream a little just to calm it down?😫 I'll continue to eat and live healthy everyday.
Hey Brendan, does it help when you apply the cream? If it does I think it should be ok so that you get enough rest. Then as you eat healthier over time, can try stopping again? :)
@@dawnforlife I didn't apply any steroid cream yet because I'm scared that it might ruin the whole process of healing. I feel like applying them in the early stages for healing and cut off them at the later stage to see if my skin still flares. Is it a good idea in your opinion?😷
Oh this is the same issue that I have,I’ve been eating good food only for the past few weeks,but I too don’t get even a few hours of sleep because of the itching,I too want to try the creams at least to calm it down,but I have the same worry as yours,I decided to just let it be as according to what darn says it seems that the body is in a healing crisis
Hello Dawn! What did you actually study? :) I definitely experienced healing crisis, my eczema got so much worse and itchier than it was before, but I am healed 98% now ;)
Hey girl! I still have no idea how to pronounce your name! hehe
That's quite a hard question. If you meant for a bachelor's degree, I did a double major in Economics and International business but studied dance for a long time. Yoga teacher's training for one month in India and read about nutrition since I knew how to read? Studying German now and still "studying" everyday.
I hope I kept it short enough with all you wanted to know. hehe
98% that's an achievement!!! :) Congrats sweetie!
@@dawnforlife Well.. many people outside of my province find my name hard, so don't worry! I would have to say it, for you to have a clue ;)
Interesting! Smart one! Are you still doing something with your International Business/Economics major? I hopefully finish my major in International Business next year !
@@tjitskebetty haha! Thank you, as you are! :)
To be honest..all my jobs was not degree related. hahaha! But the knowledge you earned never goes away. it becomes part of life and I live internationally and try to make a living so I guess it's put to good use? ahahahah
@@tjitskebetty how did you heal?
@@buttertoast7262 following the elimination diet of The eczema detox of Karen Fisscher. But I had much stress unfortunately which caused my eczema to come back. So managing stress while eating properly.
Thank you so much and I love you again
Is it okay to have Garden of Life probiotics instead?
Can eczema heal without medicine?.only control food. I am eczema patient.
If it's medicine that supports healing instead of suppresses symptoms, yes. In my experience, lifestyle change can help our bodies heal.
My exczema is not itchy as before and not painful but it's flaring up.. is this a sign of healing?
It could be, give it some time and keep doing what works :)
Thank you so much
Hi ! Thank you very much :) i want to start probiotics but I would like to avoid having a flare up and be very sick because of healing during christmas holidays...so my question is, how long were you sick after taking probotics ? I wanna start at the right moment to not be sick at the worst moment haha thank you :)
Hi Betty, as much as I would love to tell you something certain, healing crisis is VERY different from one person to another. Some may get it after 3 days, some after 3 months.
Having said that, you can always start on a small dose, like 2 pills a day so that any healing crisis will be very minimal. Then when you are ready, increase the amount, healing may happen faster but symptoms will be worse too.
Wishing you healing and a blessed Christmas holiday! :)
@@dawnforlife Thank you very much ! :D
@@dawnforlife Hi ! I think it started, It is extremely painfull, specially during the night. My face burns, my all body burns, it is impossible to not scratch and impossible to sleep. It's very hard to handle, i cried all night.. Do you think taking medicine like sleeping pills can go against the healing process? i really need to sleep or i will never go through it.. thank you
@@H3yY00u Although I think chemical pills are bad and your body will eventually need to detox it, it is important that you get sleep and is functional as much as possible.
Have you ever considered a more natural pill like melatonin? Probably you can try that first. More natural. :)
Take care Betty
Yes I’m becoming better and better I think
Although my eczema will keep coming back, but I noticed that I come back milder a little bit every time.
By the way, is it normal for my rashes only occur on my palm and sole?
Hey Dylan, I'm so happy that you are slowly healing and you can see that it's milder every time. As more and more toxins leave, there will be less to release over time. I feel joyful for you! :)
Like I mentioned, your body is just detoxing, so it can be any part of your body getting that rash and if it is continuously improving then it should be gone soon :) Mine was the whole body and it slowly moved to just my legs. Everyone detoxes differently :)
Alright, thanks!
@@dylanlew2859 A pleasure! Take care and get well soon =)
i start eat healthy food but after that i get fever n getting weak ... it that mean my body start do the work??
How many probiotics u took stage 2 every day ? For me its very hard to find out which food is good for me . Right now i am on stage 2 , 80 percent gone and 20 percent remain in body and its itchy .
Are you referring to the probiotics that I took? Because I could only speak for that. I've not had another brand :)
Yes how many billion
@@mdsanjidurrahman8038 You mean how many billion probiotics to take? haha I don't know, I go by pills hahaah Since you are just 20% remaining, you can take according to the box. The thing with healing crisis and probiotics is the more probiotics you take the more intense your healing crisis will but but it also cuts short the time of healing crisis (basically boosting immunity = more detox = more possible healing crisis).
So either way..with a good diet, your gut in a healthy environment will also promote growth of good bacteria, which means over time you could stop taking supplements. As we know, it's quite pricey. So these days, I just have it spare around the house for when I feel like I might get sick, then I'll take for precaution. Otherwise, I don't take it that regularly anymore :p
Hi what supplements do you use ?
You can check out my other video "how I cured eczema". I mentioned everything there. Basically apple pectin and omx probiotics.
Do you have any solution for allergy- heat rashes? 🙏🙏
Hey Rabia, pure aloe vera works for me. Make sure to read the ingredients that there are not other nasty chemicals in them. :)
When i take probiotics, it makes my hands really itchy at night? Is this because it is healing or because I can't tolerate them?
It could be healing crisis. How are you doing now?
Its probably because your body is detoxing after you started eating very clean
Hey Dawn, is it also normal to be weeping more than before ? Because I'm also afraid that it is an infection.
If you’ve taken steroids before, it could be a withdrawal symptom. See a naturopath if you are unsure 🙂
@@dawnforlife Yes, I've been applying steroids for 2 years now. Is the withdrawal symptom part of the healing process ?
@@dawnforlife I really want to stop my steroids and start the healthy way. Your videos have been encouraging !
@@wphitcha5973 Thank you for sharing your journey with me! :) I wish you healing and a lot of love, positivity and patience :)
@@wphitcha5973 Unfortunately it is the biggest part of my healing process. It just got way worse than before. It takes a lot of strength and positivity. It would be good to have some form of support like here in the comment section with our community and also in your life, from family and friends. If not, it's good to have a health professional support you not just in healing physically but also through the hardships of natural healing to assure you that you are doing the right thing :)
Can any pinched nerve on palm cause this excema?
Hmm I doubt it..
Just
Vaccines have a lot to do with toxins. I had additional vaccines in the military in my 20s. I'm now 40 & my only baby (1 yr old) has eczema.

Hi Dawn, can we ask how to heal from severe eczema for my 2 years old daughter because cortisone, steroids, antibiotics and antihistamine are only working temporarily. We hope you can make a how to video. Thank you!
Mark I've left you a suggestion 're your question on one of your videos on your channel (I did that coz it doesn't seem to want to tag you here!)
Hey Mark, I have videos on foods to eat/avoid and food ideas in my what I eat videos that I hope may help you feed your little one. If you are unfamiliar with nutrition needs, it may be a good idea to take your girl to a naturopath or functional doctor to make sure that she is eating well to heal and also getting the essential nutrients she needs for growing :)
Thank you. How long after taking probiotics did you start to notice an improvement? Asking for my son who started probiotics just a week ago and his eczema has flared considerably.
Hey Layl, it really depends from person to person. Some people start healing immediately and some take up to days or weeks. Plus also if you are not taking the probiotics I recommended, please ensure there are no fillers that could be causing the eczema flare up and thinking it's healing crisis. :)
Ahemhem(clears throat) 🤣 "The probiotics (and subsequent healing crises) that my sis educated my mom about." Because I learned up about all that when my confinement lady intro omx to me after Seth's birth 😉
Oh yea! hahaha Not directly connected to me so I forgot! LMAO!
@@dawnforlife I know 😄

I have started intermittent fasting in the last 3 weeks and my eczema has flared up - could this be related to my fasting?
Of course, it is some kind of stress for your body untill you get used to the new routine.
